past tipping points

Today's session on the Shaman's Cave discusses the ability to meet our future self. Given the news of the Amazon rainforest having tipped past salvation - we need all the help we can get. 

There is an understanding in many spiritual traditions and sciences like quantum physics that we inhabit multiple realities. On a personal and communal basis how do we make a difference and have the support we need? 

In shamanic journeying different choices offer alternative options that impact a variety of our future possibilities. Let us hold the intention of lightening up and growing less dense - together and collectively. 

Evolution is a worthwhile state of being yet it's not an easy or comfortable place to be in. Tested and challenged to stretch and expand - often when we're resistant or ill prepared.

Like Paul Atreides, the central figure in the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. Young, displaced, and unsure of himself - his safe Caladan home world lost, moved to the harsh alien world of Arrakis/Dune - all new and unfamiliar, betrayed and left to survive or die. 

Frank Herbert warns about society's tendencies to "give over every decision-making capacity" to a charismatic leader, a hero. Paul himself battles ceaselessly against inner motives and outer driven factors that pull and push at him constantly

Any of us today all too easily feel the rub and friction of ceaseless and constant change - epic proportions held over daunting obstacles. All the subtlety seems lost -  along with any clarity or comfort we strive to maintain through these quantum shifts and leaps - in a roller coaster, run amok world. 

What tools would you want for support and help right now? What could aid best in the restoration of our well being? For ourselves, for our world, for our future?
Make your list and let's get this conversation going!

Pinay sisterhood wins

Living in a DUtarded world where lives, liberty, loyalties have been corrupted and compromised these five years has been a living hell. Very little hope could peek through, even with the tireless efforts of the most driven and committed. 

Rodrigo Duterte's heavy handed reign of heart stopping killings, profanity riddled incoherence, and disgustingly voracious greed has brought the Philippines to an all time low - even worse than our Marcos martial law dystopian days.

For the past five years we watched stunned and shocked while this inept madman unraveled before our gaze and the malignant tumor of his greed and madness filled us with dread and poison. In this dark hopelessness, it was the women he targeted with his vileness - who rose up and showed us how to diffuse and debunk his ugliness.

build back better | blah blah blah

Youth activists GretaThunberg and Autumn Peltier criticize world leaders over empty words and broken promises. We know something is terribly wrong when our children are at the forefront of a fight we stirred up long before they were born.

Autumn Peltier & GretaThunberg

Autumn Peltier is a 15-year-old Anishinaabe clean-water activist from Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory on Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada. Peltier has been nominated three times for the International Children’s Peace Prize and continues to fight for Indigenous communities around the world. In 2019, she was also named chief water commissioner by the Anishinabek Nation, which means she speaks on behalf of 40 First Nations in Ontario.

Greta Thunberg is a 17-year-old climate activist from Stockholm. In 2018 she picketed Swedish parliament, projected her message around the world, and addressed the UN Climate Action Summit in 2019, before becoming Time Magazine’s youngest-ever Person of the Year and being named one of Forbes’ 100 Most Powerful Women.
