The songs of all my great-grandmothers
And the dreams of all my great-grandfathers
The dance of heaven and earth
All live in me, all live in me.
Lyrics by Michael Beckwith & Rickie Byars Beckwith
Energetic shapeshifting is one of the world's oldest traditions of healing and transformation. It occurs in two forms, spiritual and physical.
African and Native American shaman go into dream-like trances - altered, mystical states of internalized consciousness. Chinese Taoist shapeshifters are known to use meditation, dance, song and chanting rituals that promote awareness of oneness with life.
Being that energy is THE basic component of life, I wholeheartedly believe that we, the human race, are short changing ourselves by separating our physical form from our spiritual one, or worse yet, by not acknowledging and nurturing the spirit as well as the body.
We, again, individually and collectively, are entitled to peace, joy, prosperity & abundance. These gifts are the reason we exist in human form...to experience, to witness, to plug-in, to evolve, and surely to dance on occasion!
But, if we continue to discover the universe's gifts of abundance only to horde our 'fair share'; if we continue to pursue prosperity by lying to and stealing from one another; if we continue to believe that joy shows up on a big screen tv in the backseat of our SUV and peace was just a 5-letter word John Lennon cried out for, then deservedly this is our world.
You don't have to be a shaman to live life with intention, purpose & clarity. You do, however, have to understand your connection to all living things (plants, animals, minerals, energy) and believe that you are not merely flesh & bones, but the force which dictates energy's path. Your energy, your family's energy, your neighbors energy, your community's energy...
Until we except this mission for what it is [souls alive in a human bodies] and not for what it isn't [unconscious consumers corrupting creation] we are destined to progress at our current karmatic rate of speed, which is mediocre at best.
[Still more to say...just not right now.]
