Let’s go right back to
the Abrahamic Garden of Eden. What do you hear when
someone tells their life’s story and it speaks
of being motherless, abused, cast out of the house, cursed,
and in the case of women repeatedly hearing the
message that you are a totally worthless piece of trash?
Earthfolk hear such a story and observe the teller as a profoundly
abused person suffering post-traumatic stress. Especially
when the individual then recounts how they went on to
act in the same abusive manner to
those they loved: spouses and children.
The Warrior’s Quest ends
up creating a world of traumatically stressed
people. (An emotion that seeps through images of the Warrior's
Quest.)
-
People who cannot help themselves
and stop their addiction to endless warring.
-
People who profess on one hand
that they want peace and that
they love their brothers and sisters and that they want
everyone to be free
but set about imprisoning themselves and others
in a vision where each is the other’s intimate
enemy.
-
People who simply cannot imagine other
than the
eventual mass destruction of the world, of the Earth,
herself.
-
People who have lost a way to
experience and express
respectful intimacy.
How do Earthfolk—all
children of the Warrior’s Quest— ritually makes
present the vision and values of
Sensual preciousness?
It starts with the ritual practice of “living
as if I am no one’s enemy.”
