A Paradigm Shift Is On Its Way
In my latest novel, Journey to Artemisia, Trinity is learning about all different kinds of magic. One of the first forms of magic she learns is the magic of writing. The reason I call it magic is because when I write, I know that anything is possible.
Don Juan said, “What we need to do to allow magic to get hold of us is to banish doubt from our minds. Once doubts are banished, anything is possible.”
He also said, “Sorcery is not incantations and hocus-pocus, but the freedom to perceive not only the world taken for granted, but everything else that is humanly possible.”
At the moment, we are in a massive paradigm shift.
As my mom said this morning, “Here we are. Unfortunately we need gas and oil or our economy comes to a screeching halt. Do we hear Obama and Congress making any move toward sustainable energy? Small cars anyone? Subsidies for passive solar construction? Support for small, local, organic farms? Public transportation development? I can think of a hundred things we could do and I’m just an idiot. Why can’t they?”
It’s just a matter of time.
I see myself trapped in old ways of thinking and behaving, then I say to myself, “If I, someone who really cares about this stuff, am having such a difficult time making the shift, then how can I expect change from those who don’t even want to change?”
Well, I think at this moment, I’m going to get off the computer and go do something else for a while, and meditate on this.
