Podcast: Wild Lionesses PrideHost: Jay SiegmannFolge: Die Ungeschriebene Zukunft: Wie Unsere Entscheidungen Heute Die Rechte von Morgen GestaltenDauer: ~ 7 Minuten
Zusammenfassung:
In dieser tiefgehenden und reflektierenden Folge lädt Jay Siegmann die Hörer*innen ein, über die Herausforderungen unserer Zeit nachzudenken.
Es ist eine Erzählung darüber, wie Bürgerrechts-Bewegungen auf der ganzen Welt, die
* für die Rechte schwarzer und farbiger Menschen
* für die Rechte der Queeren und Trans-Community,
* für das Klima,
* für soziale Gerechtigkeit,
* für Frauenrechte,
* für Menschenrechte,
* und die Menschenwürde
viele Stimmen, vereint in einem Traum.
Sie haben sich jahrzehntelang für eine gerechtere und gleichberechtigtere Welt eingesetzt haben. Jay erzählt, wie diese Vision eines solidarischen und vielfältigen Miteinanders plötzlich durch die Machtübernahme rechter Politiker weltweit bedroht wird.
Themen und Schwerpunkte:
* Die Vision einer gerechten Welt: Jay beschreibt die kollektive Kraft, die von Aktivist*innen auf der ganzen Welt aufgebaut wurde, um eine Zukunft zu schaffen, in der Vielfalt, Gleichberechtigung und Zugehörigkeit gelebte Realität sind.
* Die Rückkehr der alten Machtstrukturen: Mit dem Aufstieg rechter Politiker und einer Allianz aus autoritären Führern sieht Jay eine Rückkehr patriarchaler und hierarchischer Strukturen, die die bisher erkämpften Fortschritte bedrohen.
* Globale Verschiebungen: Jay beleuchtet, wie die rechtsextremen Bewegungen weltweit - von Trump in den USA über Orbán in Ungarn bis hin zu Merz in Deutschland - eine Ideologie der Unterdrückung und Hierarchie fördern und dadurch die Demokratie und Menschenrechte untergraben.
* Ein Aufruf zum Widerstand: Jay stellt die entscheidende Frage, ob wir diese Entwicklung zulassen oder für die Errungenschaften vergangener Generationen kämpfen. Die Folge endet mit einem eindringlichen Appell, für Gerechtigkeit und Gleichheit einzutreten und gemeinsam für eine gerechtere Zukunft zu kämpfen.
Takeaway:
Diese Folge ist ein Weckruf: Die Welt steht an einem Scheideweg, und die Zukunft ist offen. Jay erinnert die Hörer*innen daran, dass der Kampf für eine gerechte und solidarische Gesellschaft eine aktive Entscheidung verlangt – eine Entscheidung, die wir heute treffen müssen, um die Freiheiten und Rechte der kommenden Generationen zu schützen.
Ziel:
Jay motiviert die Zuhörer*innen dazu, sich der Macht und Verantwortung bewusst zu werden, die sie in dieser Zeit haben. Es geht darum, den Widerstand zu wählen, sich für eine faire und diverse Gesellschaft einzusetzen und die gegenwärtigen Herausforderungen als Chance zu begreifen, unsere Werte aktiv zu verteidigen.

Today’s election feels like a reckoning, not just for the United States but for the world. I may be writing from Germany, but the pull of this election reaches across oceans and borders, stirring both profound apprehension and unexpected hope. We stand, watching and waiting, on the edge of what could become either a monumental shift toward unity and change or a jarring plunge into division and fear. There’s an urgency in the air, a sense that we’re standing at a crossroads where one path leads to transformation and the other to a dark kind of repetition. And for me, as for so many others who have faced trauma and worked to heal, the stakes feel deeply personal.
With so much at stake, today’s intention of steadfastness and the affirmation of being the freedom we seek feel especially resonant. To hold steady in the face of the unknown requires more than simply hoping for the best or bracing for the worst. It’s a call to embody resilience, to keep showing up in our truest forms, and to nurture the freedom within us even as we witness forces beyond our control. Steadfastness, in this moment, is not about an ironclad certainty but about a dynamic, grounded courage—a willingness to hold our own amid whatever unfolds.
And so, in this moment of unprecedented global tension, I find myself grounding in these practices of intention and affirmation that have become my guideposts. Today, let us each take a mindful breath, aware of the gravity of the moment, and choose to stand with steadiness and purpose.
Intention: Steadfastness
Definition
Steadfastness is the quality of being unwavering, resolute, and committed to one's principles, particularly when facing uncertainty or pressure. This intention anchors one's actions and emotions, allowing for resilience and continuity in values despite external forces that may seek to destabilize or sway. Steadfastness isn’t about rigidity but rather a dynamic firmness, adapting where necessary yet holding true to core beliefs.
In a Buddhist context, steadfastness can relate to "adhitthana" (determination or resolution), a practice emphasized in the Pali Canon as essential to cultivating a stable, balanced mind. Rooted in the Four Noble Truths, adhitthana encourages one to align steadfast purpose with compassion and wisdom, standing resolute against unwholesome states of mind while fostering inner peace.
Affirmation: We Are the Freedom We Seek
We are the embodiment of the freedom we yearn for. With each mindful breath, we nurture the fertile ground of our inner world, allowing outdated beliefs and habits to transform into nourishment for new possibilities. We recognize that we are not separate from the freedom we desire, but rather the living manifestation of its potential.
In this present moment, we create a welcoming space for the Mystery to initiate and sustain our sense of freedom. Our completeness is not measured by external validations but by how authentically we remain true to our intrinsic wholeness, even amidst life's challenges.
We are learning to speak the language of our souls, embracing the quiet undercurrents of our being. By choosing to live more authentic lives within the conventional world, we honor the hidden paths that lead to our truest selves. We trust in the cyclical nature of growth, allowing aspects of our lives to bloom, fade, and renew without resistance.
With unwavering dedication, we move towards the future meant for us, remaining flexible and at ease with our natural flow. We stand fully present in this realm, offering companionship to our everyday experiences while staying loyal to our unique qualities.
We are the universe experiencing itself through our distinct perspectives, deeply grateful for this opportunity to explore life through the divinity of our perceptive bodies. In recognizing our true nature as boundless awareness, we embrace the freedom that comes from knowing we are interconnected with all that is and ever will be.
The Essence:
"True freedom is the courage to express and choose from our deepest values."
Reflecting on the gravity of today’s choices and the ripple effects they may have, I’m reminded that steadfastness and inner freedom are also profound acts of solidarity. Every time we hold true to our beliefs—no matter the fear or uncertainty—we signal to the world that we are here, awake, and unyielding in our values. This election’s outcome, whichever way it lands, may shake the world. It could send out shockwaves, resonating as both a warning and a call to awareness. But even as we prepare for the unknown, we are not powerless observers. Each of us carries a part of this global moment, and each act of courage we make to live and express ourselves authentically adds to a collective strength that no single election or system can diminish.
By embodying freedom in our own choices, by standing steadfast in our values, we become part of a shared journey toward something better, even when the outcome is far from certain. This election may indeed be the earthquake or the rocket launch, but either way, we hold the power to keep moving forward, to stay grounded in what we know is right, and to honor our shared humanity. This, too, is freedom—freedom as action, as intention, as a way to shape the world we want to see.
Closing ThoughtsToday, as we wait and wonder, may you feel the strength of your own steadfastness, knowing that you are part of something much larger. May you breathe in the courage to act with integrity and hope, even in the face of uncertainty. Remember, freedom is not granted to us—it is something we reclaim, again and again, as we walk together into the future.
