Principles to Dream and Create a New World Into Being
The world seems to be upside down right now. Everything is in a state of flux.
This seems to be what is happening now with many things.
Political systems, our economic structures and processes, and even our relationships, are in a state of flux, or dismemberment in some cases.
Shamanism would call this a “dismemberment,” when the existing structures are pulled apart. All things die, decompose, and are reborn from the remains (fertilizer).
It is time to ask God/Spirit for help. And, now is also the time to decide what we want, and to start putting energy out to create what we want, in the midst of the change.
How can we start creating something new – “dreaming the world into being” (another shamanic principle)?
Today, we either heal our culture, and heal our relationship with the Earth, or we die! The present path with the environment is not sustainable. This also means healing our spiritual path and looking for our connection with Spirit within, instead of looking for spiritual forces that are external to us. It means listening within for Spirit and nature to teach us, instead of looking to other people and books to always guide us. Yes, there are principles we can learn from books and other people, but they should never supersede our own connection with Spirit.
What principles can we use to create a world that we want, even if it’s on a smaller, individual, and more local scale for now? What do we want to create for ourselves, our families, and our world here?
