Seeking Vision

 

Vision is Wisdom

It is insight into the nature of things

It is feeling in harmony with all creation

It is the ability to see the future

The ability to dream

To open our eyes and see what is already there.

One of the practices and tools we use in the Shakti Tantra programmes is that of a seeking or questing for Vision.

Human society often places itself separately to the rest of life on this planet but, the truth is we are made of the same basic matter as the rocks, the plant life and the animals.  We are of them and they are of us.

To go out into the wilderness often for days at a time and often whilst fasting have long been a way to connect with the purpose or direction of your life.

I felt in need of a great pilgrimage so I sat still for three days and God came to me

Kabir

We are inspired by these ancient practices used around the world that utilise our personal connection to the natural world as a way to connect with ourselves, our purpose, god or a higher power.

At our recent Bliss workshop (the completion of our mixed programme ) these words came to her as she quested for vision.   (Thank you Eline for allowing us to share your wisdom ?)

 

The words for up high

The sun has risen, I’ve spoken the words

What if I lost the words for the sky?

My words call the heavens where every bird flies

The words, the words for up high

The sun has risen, I’ve spoken the words

What if the darkness stayed nigh?

My words call the light and the forests, they rise

The words, the words for up high

The sun has risen, I’ve spoken the words

What if the rivers run dry?

My words call the rain, and the waters rise high

The words, the words for up high

The sun has risen, I call on you now

What if I didn’t know how?

My words call your heart and out heartbeats rise

My words, the words for you and I
