Ten Principles of the Shamanic Circle:
1. The source of all is through the Will and Love of the Universal Creator Spirit, The Great Mystery. This is our beginning, our journey and our ultimate destination.
2. Recognising that we are each a spirit with a body, mind and soul, not each separately. Our spirit is in essence who and what we are; it is the essential ‘I’; the experience, the singer of the song.
3. Our spirit is our Greater self, not the mortal self, the more than, the sojourner and is the Great Mystery inherent within us.
4. Establishing contact with the spirit within, our own spirit, which is the source of personal empowerment and creativity and not relying or depending on some external power or authority.
5. All wisdom is the essence of the Great Mystery and all wisdom is incarnate holistically in all creation. Realising that everything is alive. Animals, trees, rocks, oceans & mountains, the earth and stars, each has an ‘aliveness’ that may be a different experience from our own, but nevertheless living. This will open our eyes to our way of being with all around us and in communion with the Universal Creator Spirit, The Great Mystery.
6. Accepting that there are companion and Otherworld zones of reality which affect and regulate what we experience outwardly and impact us inwardly. Within these zones are helpers and guides to enable our own change. Shaman are workers of and with Spirit.
7. Everything external is a reflection of an internal process or journey that is calling for attention.
8. The Source, The Great Mystery sings a song that our spirit is drawn to – there is but one song though many tunes.
9. That diversity is a demonstration of the magnitude of the Great Mystery that offers us many paths of revelation and experience in our journey home.
10. Nothing is measured by Good & Evil, Positive & Negative; these concepts are illusory and open us to judgement. There is but the Centre of all, that fear calls us or drives us from.
