The Shaman's Seduction is a direct effort to bring an end to suffering in its various forms... it is an effort to reunite the masculine &amp; feminine energies in order to restore balance &amp; harmony to our spirituality... it is this generation standing up &amp; reclaiming their divinity once &amp; for all, it is a reawakening of the divine in our current society. It is a balm for the gashes of a tragedy-stricken world. Shaman's Seduction is sibling to the enlightenment of our ancient pasts, when we were still tribal beings of enlightenment &amp; universal respect for all sentient siblings. In these efforts we are looking to revolutionize our own lives and help others realize that the boundaries around them are more flexible than they know; that oneís potential should not be hindered by the rules, or setbacks, of the world. http://nko.org/Dreaming-Bear/Podcast/CBA2B4A8-DC0E-4D1E-9375-D4E864B4A04F.html http://nko.org/Dreaming-Bear/Podcast/CBA2B4A8-DC0E-4D1E-9375-D4E864B4A04F.html Tue, 23 Jan 2007 22:30:58 -1000 <a href="http://nko.org/Dreaming-Bear/Podcast/CBA2B4A8-DC0E-4D1E-9375-D4E864B4A04F_files/Dreaming_BearRevolution.m4v"><img src="http://nko.org/Dreaming-Bear/Podcast/Images/Dreaming_BearRevolution.jpg" style="float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:150px; height:150px;"/></a>30 second preview of the poetry by Dreaming-Bear QuickTime MPEG-4 H.264 video shot in Kihei, Maui January 2007 Shaman's Seduction is a multi-creative endeavor that seeks to create spiritual ra 00:00:30 30 second preview of the poetry by Dreaming-Bear QuickTime MPEG-4 H.264 video shot in Kihei, Maui January 2007 Shaman's Seduction is a multi-creative endeavor that seeks to create spiritual ra 30 second preview of the poetry by Dreaming-Bear QuickTime MPEG-4 H.264 video shot in Kihei, Maui January 2007 Shaman's Seduction is a multi-creative endeavor that seeks to create spiritual rapture, communal ecstasy, and a sense of communion with the divine... We base our philosophy on five basic principle which are as follows: mercy, compassion, kindness, forgiveness, &amp; love. Mercy for everyone as we ourselves would hope to be given in our hour of need. Compassion for all sentient life, that is to say that we feel directly connected to both their joy &amp; their pain. Kindness as an essential way of living &amp; acting towards others. Forgiveness for the inconsistencies of others as it pertains to the keeping of these precepts, for we ourselves know that we are imperfect. Love as the very essence of existence &amp; our continual mantra for the kind of world we hope to re-create. Our efforts with the Shaman's Seduction Revolution began with a dream that this generation could say &amp; do something profound that the world has never seen before, that WE could fulfill our creative, spiritual, &amp; intellectual potential by living a life worth writing about, a life TRULY worth living... a life of extraordinary proportions!
