The Shaman Way: Do You Affect the
World or Does the World Affect You?
By Shaman Elder Maggie Wahls
In this day of chaos and catastrophe both natural and manmade, so many people
feel overwhelmed by the changes that seem to be imposed upon them. More and more
people are feeling helpless against the tides from conditions at home, in the
workplace and climatic events as well. This creates a feeling of helplessness
and control from outside sources creates fear.
Many new age thinkers have been talking about co-creation or creating your own
destiny, manifesting what you want in life. But today that idea seems even more
ridiculous as we labor under conditions that we neither asked for nor wanted.
How can someone claim to create their own reality with abundance and health and
freedom in these times of political unrest, job dissatisfaction, low wages, high
unemployment and ravaging disease?
Many people with religious upbringing have been taught to just ask the Will of
God into their lives and give control of the future to whatever Supreme Being
they believe in. By giving control away we can always blame someone else when
things turn ugly for us. "The boss made me do it." Or, "I had no
control over the situation." It is one way to cope with the fact that our
lives seem lost and out of control. But let us look at the Will of God factor.
What is the Will of God? In most religious writings, the will of God is love. It
is goodness. It is all things positive. God is all good, all-powerful and all
beneficent. In the Bible, Jesus gives us two commandments, "Love me as you
love yourself and love others as you love me". The new covenant is all
about love.
So when you ask for the Will of God in your life, are you not asking for love in
all its manifested forms to come into your life? If a person is giving love,
sharing love, being love with himself and all those around him it is there we
see the Will of God in action. This is what we are called to do in the New
Testament. In responding to God's call for love, we are joining with Him in
co-creating the reality that He most wishes us to have. Goodness, abundance,
joy, sharing and community.
If you take those new-age practitioners who speak about co-creating and put them
together with the Will of God you would be co-creating the Will of God. So if
they are speaking about co-creating love, joy, peace, and abundance they are
actually doing the Will of God. We can too. If we live our lives with love and
work to help our brothers and sisters, we are helping God bring His own Will to
manifestation on this planet. Be the bearer of God's love. Bring that love right
into your own heart. That is the first commandment. Then share that love with
everyone around you. Take time to listen. Share what you have. Smile at
strangers. Help those who need the help you can provide. That is the second
commandment.
It is said that for every kind deed you do that kindness will come back to you
tenfold. If we all learned to co-create with God, imagine the peace, the joy and
the bounty that would be ours. Instead of the world affecting us, as we lay
powerless under its throat hold, we could take up the ageless call for love and
affect the world around us. We would regain our power to make changes. We would
realize our strength to bring joy and peace into our lives and
even to Mother Earth.
God shares His power with us and it is called love. With love all things are
possible.
