SHAMANS DON'T TAKE SIDES

I think that what has perturbed me most about the 'vaccine wars' is that they have drawn so many shamanic people into them. I think we need to be standing apart from such battles and promoting an appreciation of both sides, which I have always argued for: of both conventional medicine and alternative medicine, in this case, instead of pitting one against the other. It is an old war, it is so destructive, and there can be no good outcome. Otherwise we are behaving just like the rest of the world does with nearly every issue.



The whole point of being 'conscious' (an overused word) is an appreciation of all sides. That is why Shamans are seen as people with wisdom. It is the same with the gender wars too, where one side tends to get the blame. And left-right in politics too (left is good, right is bad, so we are told.)

Don't get drawn into these things. There is an energy around them, it is collective and powerful and very seductive. It can make you feel like you are on the side of right against wrong, and accordingly full of purpose. But that in itself is always 'wrong'. With all issues, I think it is best to take the attitude that we are all in this together, humanity the world over, trying to make it work, and not beat ourselves up too much for the things that don’t work. I think there is also a kind of laziness in finding people to blame for those things.

We need to stand, in an energetic sense, outside of these human whirlwinds and thought patterns. The spirits will help us do that, because they do not want us taking sides, if only because we can't to that extent listen to the spirits properly. And our job is to listen to them and act accordingly, not anything else.

THE DREAM OF LIFE

The older I get, and the closer to death, the more I can see the dream-like nature of existence. It seems like a natural process. Of course it was always a dream, but when we're younger it may not serve us to see it like that. The dream needs to be compelling at that point: the things we want to do need to really matter, or we would not incarnate.


But all these decades later, it is like the wallpaper over the cracks, and the cracks are starting to show themselves. They allow for the infinite consciousness that we always were to start seeping in. Space and time do not exist, they are just useful ideas in this contingent existence. We contain the whole universe.
