"It's not that people around you are at
fault," don Juan said. "They cannot help themselves. The
fault is with you, because you can help yourself, but you are bent
on judging them, at a deep level of silence."

The Active Side of Infinity
The recapitulation
is a lifelong endeavor. As you proceed to gather energy from practicing
magical passes, stalking yourself, or recapitulating, and shifting your
daily habits, your perception also shifts, so that each time you look
at the events of your life, you see more, entering more and more deeply
into what shamans call the clear view.
Our teachers told us this is an auspicious moment
to make a further leap into that state of being. As a body of Tensegrity
practitioners, we've reached a serious changing point, where we have
gathered a lot of energy practicing the magical passes and stalking
exercises together for a number of years. Now it's time to go a little
further. Our teachers showed us that practicing the magical passes and
stalking exercises of Tensegrity helps us to become aware of the interdependent
organization within our own total being, our communities, and the ecosystem
of the earth. They showed us that a key to fully activating an awareness
of this Tensegrity interdependence is recapitulating in groups.
Recapitulating together, they said, allows us
an opportunity to become aware of not only our physical patterns, but
also our related mental and emotional patterns and their consequential
behaviors and judgments, which we inherited from others. For them, these
patterns lead us to manufacture illusions of isolation and separateness.
Reviewing these patterns together can fuel something different—a
clear, and if we choose, joyful view of how we work together, and the
effect of our actions on all beings involved.
In this class, we will recapitulate in groups.
We will focus on various topics over time, beginning in the first six-week
series with the subject of 'work' and how we can create mutually beneficial
energetic exchanges. One of the key places we manufacture a sense of
separateness and victimhood, and therefore uneven energetic exchanges,
is at work.
For shamans, how we show up at work is intimately
related to how we connect to and interact with our ourselves, others,
families, and ultimately the earth and all its inhabitants. To reconnect,
we can each look at: What are the energetic exchanges you make related
to how you make a living? Are they beneficial to yourself and other
sentient beings-or are they detrimental? Are you collaborating and contributing,
or are you taking and hiding? Are you living from the premise that you
have everything you need, or are you operating on inherited beliefs
of scarcity?
This class provides an opportunity to make an
in-depth review of these topics, and to realign with Spirit. As our
teachers asked: What better way to spend your time on this wonderful
Earth?
