Meditations on Wisdom Wednesday 20 March 2024

Wholeness can only Emerge

within a Gaian Nature-Centric world view!

A Gaian Nature-Centric world view

is at the heart of the

Tz’utujiil Maya Way of Living

This next cycle of 2024 “Meditations on Wisdom” will begin a more direct focus on exploring the differences between learning and living from a Human-Centric world view versus learning and living from our Inner Nature. Which is always fully weaved within our Wholeness assisting us to express a Gaian Nature-Centric world view.

A Human-Centric world view is the primary focus behind the ways learning exists within our current form of education. All knowledge base learning is part of a Human Centric Way of learning.

A Gaian Nature-Centric world view has been the primary focus of learning behind the ways the Indigenous experienced and lived within the support of Wisdom.

Human-Centric is taught.

Gaian Nature-Centric is experienced.

Allowing me to emerge living and held within a World View that is shared within all forms of Nature. This is experienced through the Heart Behind Everything – the Heart Behind Anything – the Heart Behind Everyone!

I wrote this original piece flying home from my visit in the Tikal Biosphere in the Peten area of Guatemala on 14 August 2023.

Friday 1 March 2024, when I returned from initiating a series of ceremonies within the sacred Mountain for Water and Rain. This was followed by initiating a ceremony within the sacred Cave for the Emergence of Wisdom. I also experienced today for my first time, a short ceremony at the “Living Stream” for the Tz’utujiil Maya.

This stream never changes in depth, flow, and clarity of water. Regardless within draught, within flooding, within changes within the landscape all around this stream. This Living stream remains the same as it is weaved within the sacred landscape of the flowing waters around this landscape.

I was drawn to read once again this same piece I wrote in 2023 from returning from the Tikal Biosphere in Guatemala, and another way of perceiving this same awareness was experienced within me as my opening into the “Living Light within my Gaian Nature-Centric Worldview.”

Place of K’aslik ya’ - Place of the Living Stream

Just spending a few minutes here in my simple ceremony, I felt my Mind was being naturally weaved within and was now experiencing a way of support by my Inner Nature’s weaving within Gaia’s Nature Centric Way of living. The next morning this emerged:

Living Light within a Gaian Nature-Centric Worldview

My Inner Nature is weaved within the inner nature of Gaia

Supporting the life of all that exists

All that exists within the seen and unseen world of Gaia

Allowing us,

Allowing me,

to live life within the “Dream of the unknown possibilities”

The gift of Light that lives within Gaia

The gift of Light that Gaia generates holds for us.

All of Life,

Including myself as a Being that is Human,

Weaved within this dance of Light

Weaved within this Light that is alive within all of inner nature.

This Light, weaved within the heart behind the living, breathing, flowing, emerging web of interconnectivity.

Each time I as a Gaian Being of Light that is human,

I consciously chooses and say “Yes”

Yes, in sharing my unique living light.

A unique Light that is weaved and radiates back to all of life within and around me.

Always changing,

Always emerging,

Always flowing,

Within the Wholeness of Gaian Light.

I am weaved within

I am weaved within and supported by this Living Light,

A Living Light within the Light of All That Exists!”

For this Light:

Is Life that is Seen

Is Life that is below the surface of the Seen

Is Life that is Unseen.

My body:

Weaved within this Light

Weaved within Life’s Inner Nature

Weaved within a supporting emergence in living Life within all of ways of Beingness.

Living at One

Living within the communication of Gaia’s Living Light

Weaved within the heart of Gaian Life

A Light alive within Everything

A Light alive within Anything

A Light alive within Everyone.

A Living Light weaved within all that is seen and unseen

Sharing our collaboration within the Emergence of Life Living

Living Life within Everything

Living Life within Anything

Living Life within Everyone!

Through this weaving of Light,

supporting me living an an active participant within the world of Gaian Life.

Together,

We live within the Light of our Beingness

We live within our Wholeness

We live within the Flow of Living Light.

We share this Light

Within the Dance of Light

Between:

The Light of the Seen

The Light of the Unseen

This Dance is the Emergence of our weaved Inner Nature within the Presence of the Living Light of the Living Dream of Gaia.

For all Unknown Possibilities will always be available

Flourishing

Growing

Emerging

For All Light is weaved within our Life through our Beingness!

Various ways to experience the inner shifting landscape from a Human-Centric into a Gaian Nature-Centric World View

Gratitude for My Mind

Tuesday 19 March 2024 - Conrad “Gratitude for My Mind:”

Whenever I feel great struggling of my mind

I honor the struggle of my mind.

I invite my inner nature to hold a space for love, Nuturing, caring and supporting of my mind.

I Invite my mind to be embraced and nurtured within my inner nature.

I invite my mind to be weaved within my inner nature.

I invite the inner nature around me to weave, support, and embrace my mind with love.

I invite my inner nature to share the Light of Wisdom within the Heart of Nature and love to my mind.

I invite my inner nature to share it’s Living Light with my Mind and show the various ways my Mind can experience, and the various ways my Mind can feel the gratitude that emerges when my inner and outer Nature holds the space for my Mind to experience its new ways of being.

That holds the space for my Mind way of learning its new ways of living.

I Sit quietly with this.

I Feel the wholeness of nature weaving me.

My inner felt sense supports my Mind and Nature weaved as one living generating Light.

Below is a link of my reading this piece to the rhythm of the Mayan Turtle Drum the bring the Presence of wisdom into the world during the 17 days of Birthing the New cycle of Wisdom.

The turtle holds deep meaning for the Way of the Indigenous. These Google Searches holds a variety of meanings around what the turtle represents:

“To most tribes, the turtle also represents healing, wisdom, spirituality, health, safety, longevity, protection, and fertility. Some Native Americans believe that the turtle contributed to creation because the turtle dove into the primeval waters to retrieve mud to create Mother Earth.”

“In Buddhism, turtles do not merely signify longevity, but point to the idea of eternity and the continuation of life. In the older Vedic tradition, the entire universe is carried on the back of a turtle, and in Taoism, turtles represent the overlapping of the cosmos with Earth and mankind.”

Braiding Sweetgrass author Robin Wall Kimmerer offers several perspectives on the meaning of the Turtle. In this video, she begins to tell the story of Skywoman Falling. The first 8:22 Robin tells the story of Skywoman at this YouTube link:

Here is a transcript of the entire video of 16:47, with the Skywoman story has been put into a order with information to the video.

Here in this Youtube video, 5:01 is an animated story of Skywoman Falling adapted from the story in “Braiding Sweetgrass:”

https://youtu.be/SZ4C3YDp1o4?si=fKgL-WLvWSNLYpuB

I am focusing today on the story of Skywoman. Taken from pages 15-16 from “Braiding Sweetgrass:”

“How can we translate from the stories at the world’s beginning to this hour so much closer to its end? The landscape has changed, but the story remains. And as I turn it over again and again, Skywoman seems to look me in the eye and ask, in return for this gift of a world on Turtle’s back, what will I give in return?

It is good to remember that the original woman was herself an immigrant. She fell a long way from her home in the Skyworld, leaving behind all who knew her and who held her dear. She could never go back. Since 1492, most here are immigrants as well, perhaps arriving on Ellis Island without even knowing that Turtle Island rested beneath their feet. Some of my ancestors are Skywoman’s people, and I belong to them. Some of my ancestors were the newer kind of immigrants, too: a French fur trader, an Irish carpenter, a Welsh farmer. And here we all are, on Turtle Island, trying to make a home. Their stories, of arrivals with empty pockets and nothing but hope, resonate with Skywoman’s. She came here with nothing but a handful of seeds and the slimmest of instructions to “use your gifts and dreams for good,” the same instructions we all carry. She accepted the gifts from the other beings with open hands and used them honorably. She shared the gifts she brought from Skyworld as she set herself about the business of flourishing, of making a home.

Perhaps the Skywoman story endures because we too are always falling. Our lives, both personal and collective, share her trajectory. Whether we jump or are pushed, or the edge of the known world just crumbles at our feet, we fall, spinning into someplace new and unexpected. Despite our fears of falling, the gifts of the world stand by to catch us.

As we consider these instructions, it is also good to recall that, when Skywoman arrived here, she did not come alone. She was pregnant. Knowing her grandchildren would inherit the world she left behind; she did not work for flourishing in her time only. It was through her actions of reciprocity, the give and take with the land, that the original immigrant became indigenous. For all of us, becoming indigenous to a place means living as if your children’s future mattered, to take care of the land as if our lives, both material and spiritual, depended on it.”

Excerpt From Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

From a Human Centric Way, we became critical and angry and frustrated and rejecting of the qualities of our Mind.

From a Gaian Nature Centric Way, one form of reciprocity we can offer back to Nature, is in our ability to allow Nature to nourish and nurture while educating our Mind into a new way of living within the harmony of Nature inner intelligence. Again, allowing yourself to experience my poem on exploring Gratitude for the struggling mind we all posses, is one form of reciprocity we can express. Reading this and thinking about this only gives us a Human Centric Way of knowing our Mind. Allowing yourself to experience the doing and its emerging feelings allows us to experience a Gaian Nature Centric Way of reciprocity. Again, here is my words of Gratitude to Mind, followed by my reading and me playing the Turtle Drum in experiencing and embracing the living Presence of Gratitude.
