Therapeutic the Cut up from Nature
An excerpt from Co-Creating with Nature: Therapeutic the Wound of Separation
By Pamela Montgomery
Therapeutic our separation from Nature is among the most necessary undertakings we are able to try at the moment. It’s as if our inner and exterior worlds have been break up asunder with all of the bits being scattered far and vast. I’m reminded of the various dismemberment tales advised throughout the globe and the way this narrative of dying to the outdated and being reborn to the brand new is now extra current than ever however inside our trendy context. May it’s that we’re experiencing a large, collective dismemberment, and we want assist to be put again collectively once more in a brand new manner?
Therapeutic the break up includes telling or residing a brand new story the place one thing distinctive can emerge. My trainer Martín Prechtel speaks of planting seeds the place the brand new plant that grows from the unique seed appears very totally different than it did prior to now. It carries the unique blueprint throughout the seed and but what emerges is an amalgam that has been formed by a brand new set of energetic circumstances. He says, “I’m not making an attempt to reinstate what individuals have had and misplaced. I’m making an attempt to take one thing from the previous and make it come again alive once more within the seed germ of what’s nonetheless right here. There are intrinsic and innate issues in all individuals the place the precise non secular DNA is aware of remake itself, not within the type it was, however in an adjusted type throughout the situations it finds itself.” In different phrases, we take the knowledge of the unique seed (our non secular DNA) and plant it in new situations, new soil, or a brand new milieu and let it develop into what it can, in line with its personal true nature, which won’t be the identical as the unique seed and what sprouted from it. Then we don’t decide the brand new plant however honor the truth that it’s alive and rising a brand new story. Once we take the brilliance of non secular DNA and take away it from the non secular area, an entire new imaginative and prescient of our potential is illuminated.
I’m going to journey down a “what if ” path that a few of chances are you’ll assume is idle fantasy, however maybe for a second you can put apart your doubts and journey with me.
If we consider that the macrocosm is mirrored within the microcosm and the dismemberment that’s occurring externally has additionally occurred internally in every human and all however two intact strands of DNA have been break up asunder—dismembered—thus creating noncoded DNA that isn’t intact, then does that imply it may be put again collectively once more in a never-before-seen manner? By way of epigenetics do we’ve the flexibility to encode the bits of DNA with peace, love, cooperation, and unity and stay what has solely been a dream however one we really feel to our core is feasible? By way of partaking in co-creative partnership with Nature and unity consciousness, can we “re-member” all of the bits of DNA creating intact strands full of mild, thus changing into enlightened whereas residing a brand new story, one we are able to hardly even speak about as a result of we’ve by no means seen it or lived it? Is that this what it means to recollect? To cite a beloved prophet of our time, John Lennon, “It’s possible you’ll say I’m a dreamer, however I’m not the one one. I hope sometime you’ll be part of us, and the world will stay as one.” If we are able to dream it, it’s attainable, so let’s dream large.
