Hawk & Eagle: Comparing Western and Indigenous Science
Posted by otryba | Filed under Uncategorized
Paula Underwood Spencer’s article A Native American Worldview offers a fascinating look at the Western scientific method as it proceeds in cultures using noun-based languages as compared to the holistic and verb-based view of relatedness and pattern of indigenous cultures. Both bring gifts to us.

Welcoming Fear, Anger, Jealousy, Grief
Posted by otryba | Filed under Uncategorized
Notice how many cultures have a taboo around EXPERIENCING the texture of a whole panoply of experiences we are already EXPERIENCING. “Fear, anger, jealousy, rage,” these are the names we put on the dimensions of our experience which we so hurriedly, as if in a panic, learn to suppress (by pretending to be “spiritual” and thus “above” these low human emotions, and thus at perpetual “self-war”), repress (by stifling the feeling yet feeling profound shame & guilt for having even felt it momentarily and having to hold it at bay) or express (by generating pain and drama in the lives of those around us, especially the ones closest to us), but dare not simply FEEL, as many of us were taught not to feel these from our very first day.

Rebirth: the Death of a Fiction
Posted by otryba | Filed under Uncategorized
When we can say, “Thank you for your willingness to be with your pain and to love me” then we come to the possibility of true relationship. This is the crux of the matter right now, isn’t it? Because right now, as we ARE, in togetherness there is pain, isn’t there? We love somebody, we want to enjoy their company, offer them the best we can, and then we see all the mechanisms of this disconnective “self” get triggered and engage. We experience how profoundly we resist connection. If we are willing to be with this pain that we carry from a long ways back, that we inherit from many generations, only then can we speak of crossing the threshold of a Loving that might eventually allow us to know each other as “People,” not just some momentary senti-mentality.

The Wise Woman & The Zen Master
Posted by otryba | Filed under Uncategorized
True teaching, true learning, and true unlearning is not about getting anything. It is just like true love: if you love someone because of what you “get” from them, your love is already doomed from the start. So the proper relationship to a teacher is what we can GIVE to them. And the greatest gift that we can bring to a teacher and a relationship is Emptiness. This giving is what allows us to receive beyond the dimensions of our preconceptions.
