Challenges with Instantaneous Information

Dear Shaman College Community,

This video sharing today is all about the symphony of timing and rhythms in your life.  My observation is that our minds, our thoughts and our information gathering is quick.  We get it!  We can process high levels of information very quickly.  We can gather insights and new concepts easily from the internet through written and video formats.  We can communicate with other people through email, texts, social media, etc.  And it is very fast.

Yet, problems arise when we expect this speed in the growing, transforming, and developing aspects of our lives and the nature all around us.  It is a mis-match.  This can leave us disappointed with the natural cycles of life.  This can leave us impatient with manifestation.

In shamanism, I see this timing mis-match with students, practitioners and clients.  They can get something on a mental, conceptual level.... but the embodiment is not there yet.

As if more and more knowledge and quick pace gathering is held on high... many people just want more.

But, I often say, "You missed it."  While you were learning more esoteric and complex protocols, life was beating, breath was flowing, growth is happening, seasons have cycled through.

In so many ways, it is important for people to slow down.  If this scares you or you think you are far too advanced for this advice, please do not worry.  Slowing down does not mean that your quick mind will disappear.  It just means tuning-in to something else is also here.

Become like a conductor of an orchestra, become sensitive to the multiple rhythms singing together.

This opens perspective and perhaps most importantly gives you a ground.  This ground is where the spiritual warrior walks.

I hope this finds you right when you need it,

many blessings to all,

Kimba
