Rainbow

The Inner Way of each human Being is a Rainbow Path.

Those of us who walk the Rainbow Path are called by many Names– Witch, Shaman, Taltos, Heyoka, Volva, Mudang, Nuru, Ngakma, Machi, Miko, Satkhu…

The Names don’t matter really, because they all describe the same thing: a Being who is smart enough and skilled enough and open enough to walk the Rainbow Path, to connect with the Energies and Presences she meets there, and to bring help and knowledge from the Inner World into exterior manifestation.

Walking the Rainbow Path can sometimes be a little tricky, but it is not difficult. In fact, all human Beings are physically and psychically set up to naturally walk the Path. Oh, and I can hear the questions now– ‘Why don’t all people then walk the Path? Why isn’t every person a Witch/Shaman/etc.?’

To which I respond, ‘What did I just say? Every person already IS a Shaman…’

Let the Water of this understanding seep down a little and then take a sip. The fact of Universal Shamanism is why all religions have at least partial functionality. It does not come from the ‘truth’ that any individual religion teaches, but rather from the innate Inner Connectedness to Source that is in each individual practitioner. This is why heartfelt prayer– the Sacred Inner manifesting to the outer– can heal illness, as well as why one will never see miracles in churches– which invest ‘authority’ in the outer (priests and preachers) and waste time and energy following the external at the expense of individual Inner Connectedness.

Remember that I observed that the Rainbow Path is not difficult to walk, yet it can be tricky. It is pure Power that cannot be perceived– let alone accessed– via a power-trip; great Energy which, when approached energetically, vanishes utterly. It cannot be lied to, twisted, or controlled. S’He just IS. And when one ’stops the outside’ to go within, the View is astonishing.

‘God’ and ‘Devil’ are little human lies.

GODIS (Generating Orgasmic Divine Intrinsic Source), on the other hand, is Everything/-place/-one, and is so ubiquitous and fundamentally weirder-than-alien that S’He requires…

Every blade of grass, every flower, every seed on every individual wheat stalk growing in every farmed field that has ever existed on Earth,

Every individual bird, fish, dinosaur, elephant, sea anemone, squid, sequoia tree, human, turtle, lemur, bat, emerald crystal, flatworm, barnacle, and cricket that has ever existed on Earth,

Every drop of rain that has ever fallen in every single storm that has ever blown across the Earth,

Every river, every mountain range, every particle of dirt, every grain of sand that makes up the Earth,

Every individually unique snowflake that has ever drifted down since snow began to fall on Earth,

Every individual blood and skin cell of every individual living creature/Being that has ever moved upon the Earth,

In order to begin to fully express Hir uniqueness, and that’s just on this planet, for starters. S’He also requires…

Every other habitable planet and complete biosphere in every galaxy in the Cosmos, every star in every galaxy in the Cosmos, every hydrogen molecule, photon, x-ray, oxygen atom, plasma-cloud, comet, and asteroid in space, as well as the structure of spacetime itself in order to begin to fully express Hir uniqueness in just this particular Universe. And there may be many, many other Universes out there besides the one in which we currently exist as corporeal Beings. That is how vast, fractal, inconceivable and fundamentally non-Earth-human GODIS is.

And yet, if one is troubled or in need of help, and one sets foot on the Rainbow Path, S’He is there waiting within you, willing whatever form– or change of form– you need for your sustenance and wellbeing. You don’t even have to ask, because S’He is perfectly Self-Aware, waiting to Play serenely with you, to Co-Create…

To have this wonder, there is one thing that needs to be freely given up, and no, it is not your Self, because S’He gave that to you in likeness of Hir. It is simply that you give up looking for Source anywhere but within yourself, that you must relinquish self-held ideas and self-performed actions which block the full expression of Divine Source to– and through– you.

From where I sit, Jesus was a powerful Shaman. He knew something very important and he brought it out into this world from within himself. The second-rate con-artists who call themselves his ‘followers’ in this day and age have focused on endlessly recreating the trauma of his murder so that some very important things he said, and which were/are inconvenient for power-trippers of all stripes, could be swept under the rug with no one the wiser:

When Jesus worked miracles, he did not say, ‘I am doing all this because I am so great and you are all just worms compared to me.’

He said, ‘All this shall you do, and more,’ and ‘Go Thou and do likewise.’ He knew, as a Shaman, that what made him able to do what he did was the Divine hardwiring to Source that is present in each and every Being that exists, because GODIS made EVERYTHING that Way.

And this is why religions, governments, and assorted other rapists rant and abuse and kill– they try to make their victims Self-afraid, so that they will fear to turn within, because if people do, they will leave the way of pain and step onto the Rainbow Path. They will be Shamans, and they will be free, and the ones who abuse and are afraid to go inside themselves will be alone in the world, because the only way to go to Source is by yourself, within yourself.

No one else but you can get your ego-Camel through the Inward-facing Eye-of-the-Needle of Existence.

The shedding of blood brings no power, no salvation. Killing two doves and a white bullock in a temple, or burning witches at the stake, or nailing an inconvenient and Spiritually awakened individual to a cross does not erase bad karma. It increases it.

Those who have the most material goodies are in the most dire trouble; the ‘I am rich because I deserve to be’ mantra of the meritocracy is third-rate cargo-cult superstition and a lie.

There is but one Truth waiting for each person on the Rainbow Path. It is both Complex and Simple just as each person is both Complex and Simple.

GODIS is waiting for You.

S’He is Complex– in Hir limitless Bodies, Minds, and Experiences– just as You are Complex in your individual Body and single Mind and personal Experiences. It’s a fractal, a hologram, and yet, it is also Simple:

You and S’He are old, old Lovers going way back.

You and Source are Equal.

This is why most people instinctively understand that all Being is fundamentally Sacred– Everything that is, is Source. And it is not grandiose to assert You are GODIS, because the fact is, You are. It is only grandiose to assert that You are the Only One Who is GODIS, and then attempt to forcibly deny access to Hir to anyone else by labelling as ‘evil’ the Divinity each person carries, and which mirrors Your own.

The Shaman’s Truth is that Everything is Alive, Sacred and Related.

A Rainbow cannot be killed.
