How else can you account
for the repeated literary discoveries that the same
type of Warrior's Quest stories are told in widely disparate geographical
and cultural locations? How else would you account for the rapid domination
by one religious Big Story, say that of Christianity, over another,
say that of the Aztecs?
Your thought and
action imbue the
mind and heart surges—however, like seeds sown, not
all rise to flower. How “something happens” seemingly
all at once around the Earth among humans is best understood
as an act
of the Living Earth’s mind and heart surges.
For Earthfolk, every
Warrior’s Quest act of
slaying, every moment when someone is approached as
Intimate Enemy, at every instance where another is degraded
or
sexually abused, at these moments the Living Earth’s
mind and heart surges
swirl with images, feelings, thoughts and imagination.
Practically, rituals are the way a Big Story
feeds the mind and heart surges.
For example, the ritual
which begins by beholding the Other as Intimate Enemy, as one to
be
conquered in a battle between the sexes, this
ritual
deposits Lone Male, conquering and dominion energy
into the mind and heart surges. Consider: the
fact of endless warring and the reality of dropping the Atomic
Bomb—unless
these are understood in light of their ritual character and how
they imbue the Living Earth’s mind and heart surges, they cannot
be counter-imagined or defused.
To counter the Warrior’s
Quest vision and practices and to nourish new growth
in the mind and heart surges, Earthfolk feed them vital
zest—the nuclear intimate energy produced
when within a respectful nurturing embrace.
