Support the Transformation of Others Make your transformation become an opportunity for change in others. Every day, each one of us can grow a little more in awareness, in internal peace, in our relationships with others. You can do it if you really want to, if you choose to do so, and if you focus your emotions and knowledge towards this goal -- which is an act of love towards ourselves and towards all life. Personal transformation can be the occasion for transformation in others. My action, my choice, my love, can sustain the growth of the people around me, offering them an opportunity to evolve. Here is our recommendation on where to direct your energy this month: Invite someone. Remember last month's newsletter? We encouraged you to "accept an invitation", to accept at least one of the opportunities to do something new coming to you from friends, relatives, and even strangers. This time, you are creating an opportunity for someone else: Choose an area where you can increase the sharing - a trip, a job, a social commitment, even just a pleasant evening together talking - and invite one or more of your friends to participate. Be the opportunity towards a new experience for another soul. Who knows, maybe this is the synchronic event that will change their lives! | ||||
Mythic Culture, Alchemical Gifts Jean Houston, scholar, philosopher and researcher in Human Capacities, came to Damanhut to speak about “The Importance of Myth in Transformation and Social Change: Reflections on Damanhur’s Global Impact”. “…In this mythic society called Damanhur, you are really building a sense of the larger stories that can exist for us now and in the emerging future. As I look at your tools, your Selfica, wander through your Temples of Humankind, eat your interesting food, talk to you, become aware of the incredible mythic base of your society, you are holding the seeds which in a sense are earth seeds and cosmic seeds of the story of times that are trying to emerge. The new story. The important thing is to really know and celebrate the fact that you are creating and living within a precious alchemical gift. My great friend, the physicist and all around Renaissance man, Ervin Laszlo, says that Damanhur is the laboratory for the future of humanity on earth. I know that sometimes with all that you have to do, with entropy always trying to rise up to stop you, you may sometimes loose heart, but take it from someone who has been around for a long, long time. I come from a family that doesn’t age, I am going to be 77 my next birthday, though I will tell you in all these years I have seen a great deal of human life and what is happening here is exceptional, unique and very important for the future of humanity…”Watch the video Share Experiences |
