We could all heal forever. Let’s be honest - the We could all heal forever. Let’s be honest - there’s always gonna be something. When we “go within” it can quite easily be a bottomless pit of stuff that we will just never figure out completely. Speaking Shamanically - we are a part of a big story - woven together by dreams. Our dreams, our ancestors dreams, cultures dream, the lands dream - it goes on. So when we have “our shit” we need to look at, what we are really doing is looking at everyone’s else’s too. That’s why it’s sort of pointless to take anything personally. Who knows what belongs to who. So there comes a point, I think, where we decide that actually - I am healed enough for now. There’s gonna be things that piss you off forever. There’s gonna be sore parts and sometimes you will walk with a limp. I’ll join you with that one. Healing is a difficult and often essential task, but when we are in a constant state of healing - we aren’t living. We’re focussing inwards, instead of opening outwards. This is necessary for a while but I would encourage people to lay off the healing sometimes and just go and fucking live. Enjoy yourself, wherever you’re at. Get into some trouble. Make some mistakes. Piss a few people off. Why not? Be a rascal. Bring a little joy and wildness back. Now more than ever. ❤️

I used to hate the sound of the birds. Especially I used to hate the sound of the birds. Especially in the morning. They meant that the night was almost over, and the shame and anxiety that I had kept at arms length through the drugs I had taken lurched back into action and flooded my mind with a million different things I should be scared of. I would shut the curtains, hide away from the light, and turn on the television to drown out any trickles of sound that were springing up from the dawn. Nothing else for it but to smash back a couple of valium with whatever I’d been drinking, and numb whatever feelings were begging me to notice them. I always think of that now when I hear the birds in the morning - whether I’ve woken up early, or have been up all night in ceremony - and I smile, even though my heart breaks for the man who was so tortured by life that even the most beautiful of sounds could resemble a monster. It shows me that even in the darkest of times, life finds a way. Even though I did my best to suffocate the sound, the birds still sung for me. They never, ever stopped. Don’t give up 🦅❤️
I had a good discussion earlier with a friend abou I had a good discussion earlier with a friend about non-dualism and shamanism. Non-dualism being the idea that we are all one, and that separation is an illusion. This is mostly an Eastern idea - and a very beautiful one. But Shamanism is based on a slightly different world view - one that we as humans are by nature very separate to the Spirits and Gods/Goddesses. It is the idea that we are not the divine, and the way of interacting with the world around us is therefore much more relational. The Spirits lend us their power and in turn we must repay them with offerings and this dance between us is what keeps the world balanced and healthy. Many animist cultures believe we are born with some type of Spiritual debt, which we then repay throughout our lives. Of course, not all Shamanic viewpoints are the same, and I don’t know all of them - but this seems to be the general gist. Oneness isn’t the goal, and otherness is both celebrated and seen as essential. Perhaps ironically, most animist cultures are more equal than societies who’s religious ideas focus on the idea of Oneness. The caste system and spiritual hierarchy in some Eastern cultures is an example of this, and the idea of non-duality promotes this in some way - because you move up and up the spiritual ladder until eventually becoming divinity on Earth and are worshipped accordingly - eg. there are those who have found their divinity (ascended) and those who haven’t. This is different to Shamanism where the Shaman rejects this projection as quite unhealthy and is constantly affirming his or her humanity within their lives. The power they have comes only from Spirit, which they are at the mercy of. This puts all humans as equal, which is why the animist societies are (mostly) fiercely egalitarian. There are no Guru’s in animist cultures. There are those who become sort of mouthpieces for the Spirits, but they are not worshipped and do not traditionally have devotees. There is no one way. And one world view is never better than the other. But there are differences, and it’s interesting to talk about them as it helps to see where people are coming from when they speak about their Spiritual views.
The hard work in the UK isn’t in the conscious c The hard work in the UK isn’t in the conscious communities. There is such a clear divide between “spiritual” and “non-spiritual” people that if all we do is focus on those who are more outwardly spiritual minded we will never get anywhere. I understand that this is a business too, and that it makes no financial sense to not make your courses £1111 and offer things that sound nice to new age fans like “whale blossom transmissions dipped in light infused angel frequencies from Atlantis” but being real who are we really helping and where are we actually getting with that stuff. The vast majority of this country isn’t interested in that. Yet the vast majority of this country, in some way, are sick. Through no fault of their own - born into habits, into the colonial shadow, into poverty, into shame, into addictions and greed. We need to be there to help them through that. Any spiritual practice should make you more down to earth, not the opposite. It should make being with, talking to or working with people who you think are nothing like you much easier. It is your foundation to open to the rest of the world, not shun it. If you stay away from the mucky, loud and painful parts of life because you’re too sensitive that’s totally fine and understandable, the world is overwhelmingly dark sometimes. But perhaps you shouldn’t be a healer. I’m not sure an ER doctor would be any good if they were squeamish. This healing road is paved with pain, always. We must start to leave this new age flimsy business driven light work behind and start to get real if any large scale healing will ever occur - which is what the world is dependent on for its survival at the moment.
