Dancing into ecstasy as a way of life.
Dancing as the Shamans danced.
Dancing like the yogis,
Dancing as we have danced for aeons.
Dancing your happiness, your sadness, your journey,
dancing your madness away.
When did dancing become social
removed from the spiritual?
Perhaps when our lives stopped being a dance.
What if we returned to a life
that was lived as a dance,
one that had certain steps
crafted to bring us into trance?
Every dance has steps
once mastered,
the joy can begin to be expressed
within the structure defined by these steps.
A structure that allows for the maximum amount of freedom,
and that is life.
We entice with the free form.
Just dance.
What is the call
But the desire to experience another reality?
Just dance with intention.
Always create a circle,
from within which to dance –
start with prayer,
use visualisation,
open to receiving the energy
give a gift of love,
closing with prayer.
As was the medicine wheel.
First the idea.
“I want to bless the land with a Medicine Wheel”
The High Priest,
gathered the necessary tools and people.
Next came the learning.
Sitting in circle, we became the rabbi’s of the event,
reading and interpreting the writs.
Then delegate.
Gather, the rocks from the riverbed,
Ask permission,
Collect the grandfathers
place them in the form of the medicine wheel
amidst the sounds of drumming
we began to dance and sing and laugh.
For the Lord is happy when His children are joyous.
This is how to express our enjoyment of His Creation.
It rained and it rained, for days afterwards.
I have to leave on my journey now.
My name is Anwhlunkyhvha –
which means “I am of the earth”.
Anyone who has loved unconditionally
will find the unbearable bliss of Eternity.
Dancing through the letters,
activated on the grid,
sending a message.
That is at its most esoteric.
Dance away the week and the worries;
dance for joy, for life, and for our loved ones.
Dance in preparation for our journey
bearing the intention to get closer to
the true, divine essence of the Being
and the spirits around us.
Then we dance some more
focusing our intention and our journey
on the goal.
To enter the temple of Shamanism,
the realm of conscious dance,
you might have to be a little uncomfortable.
Some call it initiation.
I call it preparation.
You have to go somewhere.

Are you still able to delve into things?
Can you twist your mind around this?
Have you become so enwrapped
in the emotional madness of your existence
that you no longer have energy
to delve anymore?
Have you lost your faith?
The perfect balance is
when everyone is able
to express the Truth of their
own, individual self —
yet maintain our connection.
Though we may not understand,
yet we have to
constantly strive,
believing in a coherent universe,
for these thoughts do make a
difference.
Each one of us,
ever spiralling
into a larger and larger group,
realizing
the need
for a basic change
in the way
we relate to ourselves
and to others.
As we have, for a long time.
In the midst of the madness that is Israel,
is the same madness that is happening in this
and many other parts of the world.
You have to believe
that we can create
a more humane society.
You have to believe that we can
live in one in which we will not be killing
one another for any reason whatsoever.
That is where we have to start.
The call is from the jungle.
There are the predators that need to kill,
so we accept human predators,
both sanctioned and unsanctified.
As long as we kill to eat,
as long as we kill to survive,
it will continue,
all just part of the cycle of life.
No!
Just stop the killing!
Start there…
Then the violence, the abuse and the oppression…
will follow after.
