The Spirits of Colonialism: Ancestors, Diaspora, Turning Victims into Perpetrators

Shamanism, to me, is all about relationship. To enter into and maintain an ongoing right relationship with:

The people we love
The places we love
The invisible beings and forces that we love (however your belief system perceives them)

In the West, right relationship has been decimated because we’ve lost our relationship to the sacred. Specifically, this appears in:

Language
Listening
Abilities that connect us to receive knowledge and healing power from spirit/the divine

In this episode, we’ll explore how The Spirits of Colonialism played their part in making this happen and how they continue to perpetuate themselves through the insidious practice of turning the victim into the perpetrator. 

Episode Notes

Engaging with The Spirits of Colonialism, like all addictions, creates results where everybody loses.

These results perpetuate themselves by turning victims into perpetrators.

Examples:
The Roman Empire’s method: conscripting the conquered
The English Empire’s method: the Welsh Knot and the Irish Stick

Everyone’s just trying to survive:
Diaspora, immigration, running from and running towards
