In 2002 the artivist known as JIVANA had an intense spiritual experience on a dancefloor. A year later the Spiritual dimension asked her to revisit that experience and deeply explore it. She was shown a concept she would adopt which was a trinity of characters, Raver J, and the go-go twins, Zoe and Zephyr. Accepting the challenge, she chose to trust and follow the mission of creating these characters and their co-invested story.
Although artistically she has taken on the name of the character, and the story is influenced by her life, the story is still highly "fictionalized" though it could be interpreted as from another dimension. Over the years, JIVANA as the creatrix of this tale, began to realize that the spiritual journey of the character ran parallel to her own. With the various trials JIVANA has had to overcome to continue to work on this project, she started to understand the meaning behind it as an initiation into magickal and priestess arts.
Both Humanity, the Anthropos, and the Planet (Gaia) are in challenging times. The answer to the "climate crisis" will not be solved from the same paradigm of systems thinking that created it. This is challenging because the current widespread solution narrative is still dependent on that old system. If we are not careful with critically examining the narratives and the actions they provoke, we may end up further exacerbating the situation under what we think are "good intentions" such as commoditization schemes currently underway that serve to displace eco-harmonious custodians of the land.
What JIVANA shares with her stories is a journey to view societal and planetary issues with a real but playful perspective. She considered this important because she believes it will maintain the sense of Hope and Inspiration that is not needed but has fueled the changes and paradigm shifts since time immemorial.
JIVANA is offering this new myth to the electronic music cultural canon. It is brought forth to encourage this exceptionally creative culture to use their imaginative (magickal) powers to continue to share their visions of seeing beyond, so we may all reshape and rework our world into true Life-giving, Nature-valuing based societies. Or not. Maybe, from a cosmic wide lens, everything is actually perfect in every moment? ANYWAY! -
She has been asked by fellow starseeds where she is from. JIVANA says she is of Gaia, although she has a deep resonance with Pleiades and Venus. Above, Beyond, and Within - we are One, All is One - Transcendant but Immanent - Here, Now, YOU.
