Are you, too, interested in figuring out how to live a life of integrity, balance, sustainability, nurturing and caring for all of creation; and, at the same time being happy, healthy, prosperous and loving? My long time search for solutions has led me to what can be called "soul-lutions!" To be able to experience this most effectively it is important to adopt a shamanic world view.
The Trail of Tears is 10000 years old and has not ended. It began when we began to manipulate our environment with most notably the Agricultural Revolution. At that time our Goddess Mythologies became over-shadowed by the Storm God Mythologies . . . all around the world. (Please check out John Weir Perry's The Lord of the Four Quarters. Lord of the Four Quarters: The Mythology of Kingship (Jung and Spirituality Series)) The advent of monotheistic and patriachal religions began about these times and with them the subjection of the feminine and the raping, pillaging and plundering of the indigenous. Look here for an understanding of the mythological underpinnings of our addictions to War!
Oh, that is not to say that these things did not occur before then; just that around that time things escalated into wholesale destruction! It, interestingly, was also the time we began to cultivate wheat, experience glucose intolerance, get new kinds of sickness (St. Vitas Dance) and reduce our plant based food intake from hundreds of varied species to twenty or so! Is it no wonder that our life expectancy has dropped.
Well, the Future is Now. The new Paradigm is upon us! And, to help it along:
- Eat a broad spectrum of fruits, vegetables and berries: grown close to home and vine ripened! Grow your Own!
- Create a daily practice of Meditation and Mindfulness
- Strengthen your immediate neighborhood by getting to know everyone who lives around you and develop caring and sharing activities.
- Practice Truth Speaking and staying with your truth! (see my web-site under "Tools" http://scottlsherman.com/frameset.html
