We are building an investigative journalism team of freelance writers on the topic of genuine spiritual freedom. We know that this phrase has infinite potential meanings. This is what we mean
We are all a product of institutional thinking; social, economic, cultural, political, religious, corporate-speak, advertising, ad nauseam. We know, or ought to know, that these systems of thinking are deliberate, intentional, and seek to affect our behavior. It also stands to reason that if we are unaware of or simply indiscriminate to this exhaustive real-time messaging from virtually every aspect of our daily lives, then we are much more likely to merely react, passively participate, or even become fully immersed. This all amounts to a colossal distraction from our own ambition, goals, desires, dreams, and even our unique personality. Stated differently, it is an existential threat to ourselves, made manifest by our inability and/or apprehensiveness to living exactly the life that we actually desire. This is, in no uncertain terms, a crisis of the heart.
We would like to respond to this cultural phenomenon with a team of investigative journalists. We would like to respond through the power of the written word. It is important to stop and reflect. Despite everything we have experienced of late and everything we will yet experience, there are two things that remain paramount and increasingly important: your contribution as a human being, and your community that supports those contributions. We will accomplish both through this endeavor.
We are seeking a 200-300 (minimum/maximum) word sample writing from you that punches this theme with personal experience, cited and relevant examples from past or present, succinct, interesting, and bold contributions. Controversial ideas and writing are encouraged as we are pushing back on all systems of thought in the hope of genuine freedom and mobility toward our heart of desire. The part that makes this writing spiritual is the idea that we, in and of ourselves, are not the highest form of truth, existence, or wisdom. We encourage you to draw on your supernatural experiences as much as your natural ones.
Selected writers will help us build a vibrant writing community force that is published online, emailed to our followers, and that ultimately will engage with our readers in dynamic ways. We envision interactive events both online and in-person in our quest for contributions and community.
A few further details: this position begins as an independent contractor and pays ten cents per word to start. Writers that establish consistent work that pertains to readership metrics and the essence of our mission, may be offered formal employment. All persons of all backgrounds are encouraged to submit a writing sample for consideration.
