The Convergence of Five Hands: Flowing Past the Hero Trap into Collective Sovereignty

The Convergence of Five Hands: Flowing Past the Hero Trap into Collective Sovereignty The raiders struck under the dark of the moon, vanishing into the volcanic hills with the entire wealth of the clan. The village youth ran in ten different directions, tiring themselves against the stones, achieving nothing. Five brothers stepped forward—one could hear a reed bend leagues away, one could read the scratch of an ant on bare basalt, one had arms of ironwood, one smelled smoke on the wind, and one held the medicine of mist. Yet, left alone, each brother was entirely helpless against the canyon pass. How many of us in modern life are running ourselves into an early grave trying to be all five brothers at once? We take pride in saying, "I don’t need anybody, " while our physical bodies, our families, and our institutions bleed out in silence. We are living out an exhausting, imported ghost story of solitary grit, convinced that asking for shared labor is an admiss...

Height of life

The height of your life/
Depends on the depth and width/
Of your foundation/

I have run into many people who have wanted to soar to the heights of life. They have big dreams and positive thoughts, but unfortunately that is not enough. We have to go into the foundation  of our life and dig deeper. If we truly want to build our lives to a highest height we have to be willing to do the work to dig deeper, and widen the base. These are of course  metaphores for getting into ourselves. Going into to the dark places in our soul that make us uncomfortable. When we plunge into the depths of ourselves we find out who and what we really are. We recieve the true blessings that were given to us at birth by the universe, and stop holding on to the false gifts of this world. The ancients teach us that we must learn to distinguish between a "gift and a bribe." this world can only bribe us and fool us into following the pide piper to our destruction. We are instructed not to explore the truest explored territory 'our souls'.
When i stop you from going deep within yourself I block you from being able to build your monument that is your life. You end up building huts instead of Pyramids (check out 'The Player's Pyramid'). You end up giving away your gifts and denieing the treasure that lies within.
So go deep, and widen your base. Be open to new ideas about yourself and the world. Look into those dark corners in your soul, and save yourself  or part of yourself from the dragon that holds in pieces. Make yourself whole and build your life to the sky.
