Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Image
Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance. Many of us Elders are stuck in a loop. We remember only the highlights of our youth—the toughest times we survived, the boldest moments ...

Check out this article that discusses a study that shows that a placebo works even if the patient knows that he is being given a placebo. This speaks volumes about the power of relationship as well as the power of ritual and symbols. I know they dont mention ritual or symbol in the article, but lets take a closer look.
Going to a doctor can be considered a ritual. Although modern practice sterilizes the process the true essence of a visit to the doctor is equivalent to an ancient ancestor visiting the village shaman. We have supposedly cleaned up but in essence it is the same. Now the intersting thing mentioned is that the doctor developes a relationship with the patient based on truth. The doctor is honest with the patient about what is going on. The doctor informs the patient that they are taking a placebo, and the doctor tells patient , that they think (believe) that it will help. When we look at the rituals their is a relationship formed between the ritual leader and the participants based on the same principles. When a relationship like this is formed this gives the particpant (patient) an opportunity to play a major role in their healing rather than just being an objective observer depending on external factors. This allow the patient's mind body and spirit to get involved with the treatment (or what the ancient called the ritual).
Now lets look at the use of symbols. The placebo acts as a symbol of healing. Although the patient knows that it is just a sugar pill the power of healing may be released internal by the ritual of taking the pill twice a day. The important thing for those on the journey to realize is that 59% of the patients  were healed by their involvement with this experiment. What does this mean for you and your life, health and prosperity. If you need some help unleashing this power in your life stay tuned. I will help you.

How to pour Libations

Image
We pour libations/ to connect with all that is/ and to cleanse our hearts/ I need to start this article by stating this information is based on my personal experience. I have been pouring libations for at least 20 years all over the country and personally. Libations for me is a process of remembering, and connecting or re-connecting to not only the Spirit but everything around us . When we pour libations we are opening ourselves as well as the group to the axe ' of the entire Universe . I first must admit that I do not belong to a group, sect or religious order. I am a lay man who have made a personal connection with the world, and the spirit. By pouring Libations we strengthen these relationship. So let me define a few things first so that we can be on the same page. Libations - the process of pouring or giving a sacrifice to form a connection with this world and the spiritual realm. Spirituality - the state of establishing and maintaining relationships Axe...
