Science and religion make one bridge and pathway

Matter and spirit are already and forever married with children. I am one of their more foolish children, ecstatically adventuring life through both science and religion.

Fun: If I begin outside with matter and learn about reality by sensing, thinking, and judging my way into bigger better pictures, I am doing science. If I begin within with spirit and learn about reality by feeling, intuiting, and perceiving my way out towards bigger better pictures, I am doing religion.

More fun: These parallels lay down side by side yet join at every infinity (and within singularities like me) to birth the ongoing paradoxical bridge I call my life journey.

I shamanic journeyed over the winter storm clouds and what a surprise...

...I saw Plant Spirit People everywhere up there...all laughing and singing and dancing on top of bright green clouds! I might be able to remember one of the songs if I sleep on this experience. And - another surprise - it was sunny and warm up there even in the starry winter night. Afterwards I found this YouTube video of a song by Dr. Tom Pinkson called...

Thanks-Giving Song to the Spirits of the Plant People

...and his song isn't like the Plant Spirit Song(s) I heard on my middleworld shamanic journey into the green growing and flowering sky above the gusting snow showers...but it does express wise thanksgiving in a respectful, happy way. I give thanks for my journey to the Plant Spirits in the sky even while I still wonder what medicine(s) they bestowed, even while I still ponder the one song I might be able to learn later.

What a while its been since I blogged any shamanics...

What a while it's been since I posted here! Now that companions of my shamanic circle are drumming up ordinary reality 'situation shamanizations' at least twice a day as feature of our practice way(s), I have even less inclination to blog.

But we had already adopted the practice of 'blogging shamanics' a couple of years ago. It would help if the circle would spiral into to a consensus about blogging shamanics at least once (or twice) per ????? day (probably not - too many of us borrow computers) or week. We would just have to give some do-able interval a spin for a while then re-evaluate. What do you say, Companions? Shall we shamanic journey on it?

How can blogging be a shamanic act anyway? Brief bloggings can radiate short word and image bursts into our bigger wider dreaming, encouraging and inspiring more individual direct experiencing of Spirit and Spirits and re-opening a few more interconnections to the divine as just what is at hand here and now and everywhere multiversally - around but not against organized religious institutions whether mainstream or side-stream.

And I suppose that pausing now and then to practice verbal communicating can enhance shamanic experience. I won't begin any new online projects...but I might have done better at Squidoo...where I have recently been peering through Lenses...

...where the shamanic lenses are mixed in with more WoW lenses. But it is easy to click around from topic to topic on Squidoo for fun and education. To anyone in our circle who isn't blogging yet, why not open a Squidoo account for yourself and/or Shamanic Shift Center and polish a shamanics lense or two.

OH MY it is snowing tonight...and the snow is sticking for the first time this season!
