Yesterday I came across this clip on Navaho traditional teachings. A link is provided below, and this is my impression of it.
We no longer fill Saivo with ancestors and descendants who provide us with the knowledge like that of the Navajo native americans do with their traditional teachings. People who can tell us about the psychic experience of ”Changing woman” and her son, the monster killer who is the one she gave birth to to help us realize our relationship to what we feel and experience. Which makes it possible to formulate it as its own inner reality. The one who is going to make it possible for us to visualize what happens between us and what it means to us. What that content will look like to us. He is not an outside person, and without him the knowledge that arises in people as men who understand women, and as women who understand men, we will remain unknown to ourselves. The monster killer is in fact the one who kills our identification with what we feel and experience, that which equates it with us in a way that makes us unable to differentiate between us and them. The forces that affect us before his birth will be founded on the relationship we have with our primordial inner psychic parents. There is no ”psychic” space there. No space of our own between what we experience and others. ”Changing woman” has not yet appeared to us. That she becomes pregnant with him by the sun, the light, the insight, with consciousness, only makes the story even more inspiring. I think the story of changing woman is wonderful.
