“Map-makers,
myth-dancers, and Shamans live internally in a multi-dimensional realm
continuous with so-called ordinary reality.”
Joan Halifax
One of the shamanic tasks involves
making the self, whole. The self is your body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit.
When your spirit is free, it fills you with ecstasy. Ecstasy means being fully
alive. Your spirit is the dimension that connects you to everything.
The path to ecstasy is through the 5
layers of consciousness. We view ourselves, relationships, personal history,
groups we are a part of, the ebb and flow of daily life, through these layers.
The layers are referred to here as : First Layer – Inertia – the level of
unconsciousness. Second Layer – Imitation. Third
Layer – Intuition. Fourth Layer – Imagination. Fifth Layer – Inspiration.
The journey from inertia to ecstasy
is the natural birthright of each one of us. On this path to your whole, true
self, the core feelings are your allies.
Beginning with the first layer,
Inertia, is simply the place from which to start. This is where the part of us
that is known as self-importance lives. Listen to the voices of inertia: You’ve
got to plan ahead. Be Careful. Be prepared. Don’t burn your bridges. You’ll
regret it. You’ll be sorry.
The second layer, Imitation, is the
level in which you strive for something more in your life and allow yourself to
pay attention to your own growth. This is where you begin to search for a
teacher to get you moving in the direction of spiritual liberation.
The third layer, Intuition, is where
at some point, from deep within, you realize that you are not becoming who you
truly want to be and you begin to yearn for what you don’t have – a rooted
connection to an original, creative self.
The fourth layer, Imagination, is
where the power of great creative artists like Elvis or Marilyn Monroe comes
from. Imagination is the level at which you become the “STAR” in your own
movie, getting serious about doing something special in your life.
The fifth layer, Inspiration, is
where pure energy, totally connected to the life force that vibrates through
you. When you experience moments of ecstasy, they come as a taste of how life
is meant to be. It is an ideal, a goal, but it can be the expectation of every
day.
