Fwd: A Message of Renewal from Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D.

Alberto Villoldo's Messages from the Whales and the 2012 Prophecies

Recently, Marcela and I took part in a research expedition studying the health of the oceans while swimming with the humpback whales. These 40-foot long creatures moved as gracefully as Tai-Chi masters, coming within inches of us. While swimming with a mother and her newborn, I found myself calling to the wise elders, "What can we do to help the oceans?" As if to answer me, a two-month old humpback calf swam over and looked me in the eye. The message was clear, "Dream a world that our children can thrive in."

In my new book "Courageous Dreaming: How Shamans Dream the World into Being", I point out, that when we lack spiritual and emotional courage we can become trapped in the nightmare of our past, the stories we cannot wake up from. To dream a new world into being requires great courage.

All the indigenous prophecies speak about this as a time of the 'Pachacuti", the great upheaval, when the world would be set right again. This means that many systems and solutions that once worked will cease to work again. There is only a minimal amount of patching, repair and re-invention that we can do - Instead, we must dream boldly.

What I have learned in my work with the wisdom keepers of the Americas is that you can not dream a small part of your world only. You have to dream the entire Universe newly - All of it. Dreaming requires a willingness to envision an entirely new world, and then become that which we envision.

When we live in ordinary times we can leave for tomorrow what we don't want to deal with today. In extraordinary times such as these, we are challenged to find and respond to our calling. Communing with the whales reminded me of the story of Jonah, who refused to answer his call to go where God wanted him. As a result he was swallowed by a whale and spit out on the shores of Nineveh; had he heeded this call, he could have gone gracefully.
