Sam Sleeman

Shamanic Storyteller

Myths are intended to break the spell of time and release us from the pressures and limitations of daily life
Myth speaks to the extraordinary in us and to the innate nobility of our souls.
Hearing a mythic story awakens the myth living in each of us.
As the story enters us, we enter the timeless territory of myth.
We become mythic again, a knowing participant in our own story and a seeker near its source.
For, being in a “mythic condition” allows us to reconnect to the core imagination at the center of our soul.

and the Wildman

Iron John Chapters

Iron John Chapter 04 and 5 The Bucketing of the pond and what binds the Wildman in the pond.

16 June 2020 Sam Sleeman 1048 Views 1 Comment A world hardly two steps away, Absolute fear of death. Death is to be avoided at ALL COSTS, Ancestral memory Our group memory (Previous incarnations and the groups we incarnate with), and the Wildman, Any direct perception of the spiritual world, Any understanding of the incarnating process pre-birth to birth, Bucketing of the pond and Iron Chains and Iron cage, Bucketing the pond, Conscious initiation. The Hero’s journey is an unconscious initiation, Fairies, i.e. Dead people, Iron John, Nature spirits, Race memory (Human Race), Reincarnation, Shadows of our Western culture, Soul A working understanding of child development into adulthood from a Soul’s point of view, Soul and sprit are in shadow. We are spiritual beings in an animal body. Death and dying. Life only exists between birth and death, Species memory The human race has survives extinctions, The Castle Quo as a house of cards, the dirty pond, The geography of our planet as history ……and its cycles of death and renewal, The hunter and his dog go to the dark forest looking for adventure, The old King, the status quo, The tyranny of Ego over Soul, When one has denied Soul every and any other atrocity is easy, Who and Why is the Wildman bound to the bottom of the dirty pond and bound by what, Who is this dark Magician who enchanted the Wildman into the dirty pond

There are things stronger than chains that can bind us. Thought, ideas, and beliefs can be much stronger than mere chains.
