It’s not what you think

I’ve been reading couple of  close friend’s blogs.  One speaking of a dream she has often, that I have spoken my POV on..the other who defends our friend against the judgmental asshats who also have taken a turn.  My view was that she needed to listen, and banish the negative…I was close in that train of thought, but I think she might have misunderstood about what I meant to banish..it wasn’t the voices in the winds, but other negative that I can see.  But then, who am I to judge that something is a negative.  For her it might work, just as I have things others kind of look askance at because they don’t understand how I work either.  The asshats?  Someone suggests she has “shamanic” leanings she needs to acknowledge.  WTF?!  What kind of new-agey shit is that?  First, “shaman” isn’t a word that any  self respecting Native American uses, and the way its tossed around in all these different fluffy groups, makes it akin to someone claiming a title…ANY title, from High Priestess, Druid, Witch, etc etc .  I could tell you I am a pilot..would you care to climb on my broom and go for a flight?  I haven’t had any formal training, but I’ve read a lot of books on the subject.  No..wait!  don’t call the men in the white coats just yet.  Hear me out.  There are spiritual wise ones , but they often have no label to fit them.  they also have no set deity.  WHAT?! No one to follow?  How can that be?  It’s simple really.  One admits that in any given time, one or more would be beneficial in what we are attempting to do.  I do not have to have one particular god that I follow…I believe that god exists in all things..for all people.  Why limit it?  Why when you do not have a set in stone set of rules do people seem to think that you are lacking or that you must be severely disturbed in your walk?  The people I know come from all walks.  They choose when and where to interact with deity and  on what level.  I don’t make that choice for them any more than they have the right to do so for me.  The dreams that some of us set down to paper..those are for our benefit..a way to come back to analyze and hold it close in a tangible way so that we can decide what parts are relevant for us.  It isnt open for discussion from asshats who think they know all there is to know about us or decide “this is where you’re going wrong”.  Fuck that.  Fuck you and the rabbit who brought you down the wrong hole.  Nothing is as it seems.And yet it is.
