From
Shame to Shaman

There’s
something shifting, can you tell? There’s a new you that
wants to be born. There’s an expression of a Higher,
Intelligent Being that is leading humanity into a new
phase. That energy is the evolutionary impulse; it’s the
creative energy that drives this entire existence, and
the sexual energy of the universe. It’s your sexual
energy.
The problem is so many of us have been shamed by
sexuality. We don’t want others to see our shame, our
badness, our wounds. If this is true for you, then
likely it’s challenging and even painful to be fully
yourself, to let the fullness of you out, to rely and
trust on the wisdom you inherently posses, to stand firm
in the path of your life, to know what you know.
Yet, the universe needs your wisdom. The unfolding of
humanity’s transformation hinges upon the full
expression of you. The shift into a new species, a new
planet, a new way of life hangs upon the full expression
of your authenticity, your passion, your genius. The
world needs your truest, most genuine self.
The truth is inside your deepest expression, within your
most authentic self is the “one who knows” - the shaman,
the master, the sage. At the core of your being is the
medicine man or woman to guide you, heal you, and point
you towards your purpose. This shaman is ready to
emerge. Can you feel it?
In fact, the root of the word shaman means “one who
knows”, and the root of the word shame means “to cover”.
When you’re in shame, you’re hiding your wisdom. When
you’re in small, you are repressing the big Intelligence
that emerges from within you day after day and reveals
moment by moment the way to a new humanity. You are
preventing the great birth of the universal human and
the emergence of a collective shift.
So, how do you move from shame to shaman? How do you
access that great Intelligence and then fully and freely
allow it to emerge from within you?
First, point attention inward. When you do that day
after day with consistency, focus, and intent to find
the shaman in you, you will. Besides, everything, no
matter what it is, lies within. All life begins within
the dark dome of the inner world. When your attention
points inward, you will finally face the Source of Life,
the creation of this existence, and it is there you will
find the shaman, the sage, the master. This High Being
knows that the Dream of life starts here and every
expression of the Creator, every iota of Creation is
sacred and filled with the purpose of Service to all.
Second, no matter what appears, write out whatever is
moving through you. The glory and Intelligence of that
High Being moves through you. (You, the flute and
Wisdom, the breath of God.) Higher Intelligence moves
upward through mind into your consciousness. You’ll need
to empty your mind first, then become receptive, and
then allow anything to arise. Most importantly, bring
those subtle, soft images forward from the dark cave of
the unknown and come to know the visions of the future,
not just yours but the future of humanity. Finally, make
it a regular practice to write and discover how the
deepest part of your being is and wants to express
itself.
Meanwhile, as you are cultivating a state of mind that
is open, receptive, and accepting, allow the Master in
you to speak, liberate the Sage in you, and form an
ongoing relationship with the Shaman who knows that
shame is a mere disguise for Divinity.
