In Robert De Ropp’s book, The Master Game, published in the 1960s, the word “game” is used with deliberation, distinguishing trivial or frivolous games played for amusement, entertainment, or distraction, from those serious and significant life games that present us with challenges and objectives that contribute to our personal growth and to the greater good of society and the world around us.

I, like many of you, watch the news on television and on June 29th, it was revealed that 39% of the people of America believe that American Culture is in permanent decline and that our deepening financial crisis will never be resolved.  In response, I recalled the words of Paul Ray and Sherry Ruth Anderson from their book ‘The Cultural Creatives’  published in the year 2000:

Aloha from Hawai'i Island. Jill and I have been busy with our teaching schedule and working on our land when we can.

In many of the essays I have written over the past several years, I have repeatedly made mention of the fact that a new spiritual complex is coming into being in the West, one that exists beyond the well-patrolled borders of organized religion, one at whose center lies the realization that each of us has the ability to make the direct, transpersonal connection with the sacred realms that defines the mystic... the shaman.

I have been remiss in writing blogums during the past five months during which Jill and I have been immersed in our teaching schedule as well as work on our farm… and I have also been involved with writing an ongoing series of essays that are regularly posted under Shaman Wisdom. The current series is focused upon the New Mysteries.
