Riding The Storm: Does The Sun Trigger Hurricanes And Social Unrest?

8 February 2018

 - What do the activities of our sun have to do with the increase in extreme weather, public scandals, mass tragedies and social unrest that we are experiencing here on earth? According to indigenous and shamanic belief, and their understanding of life and the universe… everything.

Each time I travel to the Southwest, I happen to cross paths with a different, indigenous Indian man who shares an important teaching with me. The common thread that runs through these teachings is a message about navigating a period of accelerated change, disruption and instability on this planet. Extreme weather, public scandals, mass tragedies and social unrest appear to be growing in intensity.

The indigenous people of our land have valuable insight to share with us about this time of acceleration. Their oral traditions, passed down from generation to generation have long forecast this period of instability as part of a repeating cycle, which their ancient ancestors have lived through before. This cycle involves our sun’s natural rhythms as it journeys around the Milky Way galaxy, and the simultaneous maturing process of human beings within this solar system. According to indigenous and shamanic belief, the adventures and affairs of our sun get reflected on every level, from the geography and weather of the Earth, to our social structures and the activity of our individual brains — the way we think and interact with each other, and our transition, disruptive and tumultuous as it may be, into a new era.
