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
