Incantation:

Honouring The Sacred Bonds

We are your original forebears
We are part of the very soul of this place
Part of its material presence

We are your soul
Your original selves
Your deep time human ancestors

We heed your Call To Ecological Consciousness

We peopled the Earthland for untold millennia
Living in attuned reverence within nature
In connective unity within the intelligence of this Earthland

Our story is your aboriginal story
Our ritual ceremonial dance is your lost dance in life
Your lost ecological consciousness

It is the way we honour our sacred bonds within nature
It is our sacred dance

Our ritual ceremonial dance is our way of living
The way we do everything
It is at once a special moment and a continuous process
It is our dance with nature
It is the way we balance the human psyche-soma unity
It is how we balance the feminine and masculine spectrum
It is how we balance self and other
It is the way the connective world of nature works

The opening and balancing of the psyche
This is the beginning place for all transformational work
It is the foremost developmental act that must be undertaken by the human species
It is the process of transformation

Our dance is our foremost educational process of the soul
The foundation for material change in the maturation of the human psyche
The affirmation of the connective outerior mind

It is a cyclic performative act
An act repeated throughout the development and maturation of our lives
It is how we operate, how we walk in balance within nature
We call this our Spirit Cycle
Our Spirit Wheel.

Our dance within the spirit wheel and its Learning Pathways opens the psyche’s rainbow spectrum
So we may traverse limitations and heal divisions
Helping us to step outside limiting identities
Enabling us to enter new developmental pathways where accomplishments are transformative

It is our spirit aperture
A developmental initiation
A way to cross developmental thresholds
It is our way of guiding our development within the greater connective unity of nature

We look to other nature to be our initiators and guides
This is a vital process for us and all humans
It makes empathic identification across species and other nature possible and dynamic
Nurturing mutuality and respect
Providing the grounds for reverence
Reverence for other nature
Reverence for each other

Reverence is the Key-stone psychic condition in all healthy functioning

Modern humans have forgotten us
Their aboriginal selves
They have lost the ways of balance and maturation
As they have lost the foundational power of the feminine

The foundation and power of balanced human functioning
The loss of the balance of the feminine and masculine
They have lost the balance of body and psyche
They have lost the capacity to honor Other
They have lost the capacity to honor self
They have lost the capacity of ecological consciousness

These losses are completely intertwined
You have to repair all to repair one

In this modern human era, the spirit wheel process is invisible to most
Its maturational usefulness is lost

For us the spirit wheel, our ritual ceremonial dance is central to our existence
It is the place we bring everything to the connective centre
Within a cyclic healing process

It is a protected space
An expansive space
A sacred space
A continuous space
A space of connective unity

In this time when there is a confluence of extreme crises in all the systems of life, for all of humanity and all of nature
The need to transform your relationship with nature and between yourselves is an absolute imperative

We, your ancient selves, offer you the Learning Pathways of the Spirit Wheel
As a means to begin the healing of your souls
And the restoration of your connective function in nature
The restoration of your outerior mind

A means to enter into reciprocal relationships with the nature around you
A means of valuing nature beyond the concept of the Other you currently apply
A means to deeply mutual identifications with other nature
A means to begin the reparation of the Earthland

This opens up the confinement of your modern human mind
And the dominance of your unconsciousness
Takes you out of your preoccupation with introspection of self
Takes you out of repression and splitting
Takes you out of your interior mind into the greater outerior mind

This breaks down the barriers to valuing personal relationships across the whole panorama of nature
Gives you a platform for reverence for nature
For recognition of all nature as valued beings in need of truly balanced reciprocity

When this confinement of your psyche is breached,
 Your connective ritual dance within nature is immediately available once more
You have fluidity in the connective function of your psyche and your body
They are joined
You can honour the foundational axis of the feminine
You have fluidity across the psychic spectrum of the feminine and masculine
Your walk in nature becomes your dance

Your psychological, sociological and ecological selves coalesce within a new maturational process
Of ecological consciousness
An awakening of your soul

The spirit wheel becomes the means by which you change the material structure of the human mind
Attain a balanced connective ecological consciousness

This is our story
This was once your story
It is also the story of your future

The way to take up your Earth responsibilities
To perform your Earth Dance
To become Earth Beings
And begin the true restoration of the Earthland and everything in it

We lay this challenge and task at the feet of those of you in a position to take up this responsibility and step forward
This is an evolutionary imperative and an evolutionary opportunity
Right now.

Alongside other nature we offer ourselves as spirit guides
In your journey to ecological consciousness
And the restoration of our Earthland.
