What a great TED Talk by Phil Borges (Director & Exec. Producer of CRAZYWISE) about the different approaches to altered states of consciousness in western and indigenous cultures: * indigenous cultures: - cultural context: the „crisis“ is sth the person will come out of stronger in the end - not stigmatized (in western culture, if you have the stamp of „mental illness“ on your forehead, it’s one of the most stigmatized thing that can happen to a person) - they have a mentor, sbd who has already gone through this process, who holds their hand and says: listen, I know what this is all about, and this is how you manage it - they have a community and an outlet for their talents. * western cultures: - label / diagnosis - meds to suppress the „symptoms“ * western psychiatrists who take a whole different approach to this issue: -> let’s stop stigmatizing these ppl and tell them they’re broken. -> give them a place of support -> the psyche itself is self-healing: work with whatever is showing op -> then you typically come out at a higher level of awareness and consciousness 🙏 🔥 🙏

GM! Es geht nicht darum, perfekt zu sein. Niemand ist perfekt. Es geht darum, ehrlich hinzusehen. Hinzufühlen. Das sehen, was Du nicht sehen willst. Das fühlen, was Du nicht fühlen willst. Da, wo Du innerlich eng wirst, gilt es hinzusehen, hinzufühlen. Ich weiß, Du hast gelernt, dem, was Du nicht nähren möchtest, auch keine Energie zu geben. Das ist aber genau in diesem Fall ein Trugschluß. "Where attention goes, energy flows." Ja. In diesem Fall braucht das, was Du nicht sehen willst (und letztlich nicht nähren willst), Licht und Energie. Nur, wenn es gesehen wird, Aufmerksamkeit erhält, kannst Du es wandeln. Sei mit der Enge. Auch, wenn Dein Herz klopft. Auch, wenn Du es nicht sehen willst. Schaus Dir an. Atme.
