Death - letting go. Participating in an end, sometimes The End.
What does it mean to die your thousandth death?
Perhaps even one thousand in a single lifetime. I feel as though I have just left my own four digit death scene, leaving behind a someone whom I no longer could be - becoming as I am, continuing to Be by letting go of what no longer Could Be.
It was the fourth time that I was embarking on an ayuahuasca journey. It was at a beautiful location in the middle of Europe, in a large tipi close to a small lake in the middle of a forest. I was with my shaman friend Don A. - an excellent plant alchemist who received his training in the deep jungles of Peru, as well as in Mexico.
"Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for." — Hopi elders
