The Naturistic Shamanic Tradition is about understanding who you are, where you are, and expanding that library of yourself, not based on what everyone else has done before or what is out of date from previous generations, but your own unique up-to-date library.
The more you know about yourself and your blackspots and how you can and are being manipulated, you come into this position of choice. A black spot can only be manipulated if you allow it. If you don’t know what it is, you are allowing it. If you know what it is and you have a choice to allow it or not, then there is empowerment and ownership in that. If you don’t know it, you allow it to happen and are being exploited now.
As a human being, you have choice. You chose the life you wanted, you chose how you wanted to enact it. If you do not take control and know as much as you can about yourself, you are abusing that choice. Put firmly, you are not being abused, you are the abuser.
