What we are currently experiencing is not merely a collapse of culture or clashes between civilizations. Rather, it is a struggle for the dignity and significance of the individual soul, and a battle for the soul of the world. Emphasizing the necessity of Soulfulness during a time when the world appears to be losing its essence. Explores the human soul and the underlying living soul of the world, urging the awakening of deep resources and the creation of more spiritual awakening in an era marked by divisiveness and escalating disasters.
Soul serves as the adhesive of the World and to the force of life itself. It is the missing element when everything seems to be crumbling. When the entire world is turned upside down, it is the soul at the core that strives to become known once again. Soul connects us to the profound and enduring aspects of the world and our own lives. The depths of the soul hold the very vitality of life, the core faculties of imagination, and the ancient heritage of humanity. The loss of soul leads to a sense that life lacks meaning, that our existence on this earth serves no true purpose.
Explorers on the quest for living a meaningful life at a time when many doubt the existence of any purpose in the world. Soul adds a palpable sense of psychic reality to our experiences. It is the depth of presence that infuses life with meaning. When we perceive through the eyes of the soul, every inner and outer event can be imbued with significance. Truth and meaning are fundamental needs of the human soul, often absent in the modern world where cleverness and manipulation attempt to replace genuine purpose. We find ourselves in a time of radical transformation, where the world, with its multifaceted levels of experience and diverse truths, must shift from one level to another.
To draw upon age-old concepts and tales that elucidate the significance of discovering and nurturing more soul as a remedy for the challenges and predicaments faced at the collective level. The deepest power of the human soul, imagination, is revealed to be a vital component in finding innovative solutions to otherwise overwhelming problems. Ancient concepts and rituals of initiation deepen our comprehension of how individuals can truly transform and learn to effect greater change on cultural levels.
Awakening the soul presents the notion of living authentically as an individual response to the prevalence of deceit, disinformation campaigns, and the concept of a post-truth world. Despite the global environmental crisis and the wide-ranging human crisis involving various forms of social injustice, there is a third peril that profoundly impacts the other two. This third level of danger encompasses a crisis of meaning, exemplified by the loss of truth and significance that presently afflicts leadership and politics worldwide.
Without the pursuit of meaning and truth, there can be no enduring solutions for the crises that threaten Nature and Human Culture. Every threat to Nature is directly an attack on Living Human Culture. Despite the growing confusion and distractions of the modern world, we are the current inheritors of deep human yearnings for truth, beauty, and the capacity to transform in ways that sustain life. Transforming the world necessitates more than minor repairs; it requires a complete and comprehensive overhaul that can only originate from within. A path for the healing and the change in the world, will result from the movement toward kinship, another cultural renaissance, and soul activism.
Change can only start within us because we can only give the energy that we embody. Our ancestors understood how to connect with the earth in ways that many of us unfortunately can't even fathom. There has been a loss of wisdom and connection within lineages and now we collectively need to reconnect with the past so that we can use that wisdom to navigate this world with ease and deeper understanding.
Our ancestors had it right in many aspects; the navigation of the stars, understanding of time based on the seasons and rhythm of the earth itself. I hope that within this existence we can embrace a path of indigeneity where we can once again place value on the things that have meaning within our hearts.
I believe that connection to our hearts and allowing it to be our guide is the key to becoming the embodiment of the spirit/souls that we truly are. Within my heart I believe that we will one day come back to a place where we once again thrive in communities where every soul has value and is treated as a gift. A place where we all truly understand that no one has ownership of the earth and we all stand together to honor and protect her.
To me this path starts with reconnecting to the things that speak to my soul. It starts with teaching my sons all that I am remembering and at some point bringing back the knowledge of navigating by the stars.
The stars will always lead us back home for we once lived among them.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom, May it continue to speak to the hearts of others with resonance and feed the fire within them.
