We lay down tramlines of belief and codes of behaviour that provide an orientation for life, and we need these. But they are provisional. The shaman has the psychological strength to live outside these tramlines, and that gives him/her the alignment with Spirit necessary to counsel and to heal.
So that is the opportunity of this time: to live in the uncertainty that is the true nature of things, and to draw strength from that, even to relish it. Above is the painting 'Autumn Rhythm' by Jackson Pollock, that shows the creatively chaotic nature of the inner world, where nothing is predictable, nothing repeats itself.
Love this post, and the painting :-)
