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)?

The Tipping Point Has Passed: Sweeping Change is at Hand

From Activist Post Excerpts:
When so many diverse forces converge and conflict, a tipping point of global awareness to the human condition is reached. The momentum must spill over into a time of sweeping change.
..
Our age is one of extremes: one can see this in our entertainment, our politics, our solutions to the spectrum of problems we face . . . and even our physical climate. This would indicate that it is a time for choosing sides -- anathema as it is for those who are inclusive by nature. It is a challenging time for those of us who would like to see all sides of every issue, liberally interpreting the dialogue in a collective mantra for the human race. Such a being is branded with any one of the scarlet letters assigned to the prevailing political parties of our modern world. For those of us who would like to preserve a once-great nation, a political dogma, a religious instruction, or a fixed set of guiding principles, we find ourselves on a runaway train of manipulated change, environmental change, and technological change. From either left-right spectrum, the stage upon which we have been told we can act is a moving one. So, from where exactly can we act our part?
And:
We are in this struggle due to the profound nature of our ability to discern the stimuli of our environment. We are not animals, and we are not (yet) robots. Some of us are; others wish to be; most are not even close. No other being, so far as we can tell, has been able to harness their abilities and flaws to produce such world-encompassing results. Perhaps this is what is worth saving, and why our destructive capacities haven't yet overwhelmed us. Perhaps this is why global "elites" who feel that their breeding and master planning are the symphony of humankind haven't yet hit the correct note. Amid the vast attempts at government-run oppression, there has never been a more empowering time for the individual. Across the globe, the average person has far more access to information and creative technology than at any time in human history. This is a genie that cannot be put back into the bottle, save a physically catastrophic event that forces humanity back into the dark ages. The human intellect is expanding and evolving in a way that is rendering divide-and-conquer strategies much less effective.
And:
Free humanity finds itself at center stage between the left-right forces of radicalism, as it seeks to find a point of stability and growth. It is further proof that the essence of what humanity is has expanded its importance. So, choose your bible; choose your party; or choose none of it. One way or another massive change is coming. Where do you wish to stand?

The key to the Age of Aquarius is discernment. Information is literally flowing all around us, and it is up to us to use all of our critical facilities to determine our own truths. So many easily-made mistakes just ahead, and such a narrowing path to Awakening. It is becoming clear that at this axis point in "time," our collective consciousness could just as easily explode as our physical bodies could.

We will all have to choose..

Evolve or Devolve?
Nirvana, or Gehenna?
Star Trek, or Mad Max?

There is no guarantee.
What.. Will happen.. Next?
