Disaster Shamanism and the Vicissitudes of Power

Interesting article from Waking Times, via Rense.  Break's over, future global guardians:  Better get to work..  Excerpts:

“For what one needs in this universe is not certainty but the courage and nerve of the gambler; not fixed conviction but adaptability; not firm ground whereupon to stand but skill in swimming.” -Alan Watts


“Life is occupied in both perpetuating itself and in surpassing itself; if all it does is maintain itself, then living is only not dying, and human existence is indistinguishable from an absurd vegetation.” -Simone De Beauvoir


“People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason the world is in chaos is because things are being loved, and people are being used” -(Anonymous).
Disaster shamans are the architects of advanced sustainability, the threshold guardians of a new eco-enriched society of eco-moral people. Disaster shamans do not wait around for the right moment. They adapt to the ebb and flow of life’s ups and downs and overcome vicissitude through imagination, practical will and radicalized action, realizing that the right moment is always now.


A disaster shaman teaches how to become a hero over power, as opposed to simply being a hero with power. Carrying the banner of a New-hero, disaster shamans have perfected the art of hero expiation; what I call Capital Munificence. This is applied commitalism with emphasis on the expiation and redistribution and reciprocity of wealth. Disaster shamans bring the secret to such power to disaster situations and “heal” through teaching the people how to get power over power, and especially how to transform false power into true power.

They have perfected the art of Ideal Foolishness, or Foolish Ideology. Indeed, it is the call to arms of the Disaster Shaman. Their way of hypocritical art bridges the gap between science and spirituality by showing a child-like trust and hope for the human condition, that leaves open the realm of mystery and enchantment, while also explaining the infinite fabric of reality through scientific-mythology.

There's a really good chance we'll be needing their services soon.  Will they be up to the challenge(s)?
