Fire and Water with Quanita Roberson

Analyzing, Dreaming and Integrating the Divine Feminine in Our Future with Anne Baring

“They will remain shut away behind a hedge of thorns. The journey in search of soul is difficult and even dangerous because it requires that we relinquish the certainty of what we think we know and what we have been taught for generations to believe. It means surrendering the desire to be in control and opening ourselves to a quest, a path of discovery. Many myths and fairy tales emphasize the need for surrender and trust in the strange non-rational guidance offered by animals or shamans on the quest. As the hero follows their guidance, so the hedge opens, the way unfolds. Following the guidance and wisdom of the instinct is the royal road into the realm of soul.”
― Anne Baring, The Dream of the Cosmos: A Quest for the Soul

 

In our continuing podcast series of inviting elders into deep conversation, Quanita and Anne cover a myriad of topics. However, it all leads to acknowledging the precariousness of the present moment and that a change must come in the human consciousness for us to be able to survive.

Urgent Call to All Women:
War Stops Now!

Women are one half of humanity, yet our voice is not heard in relation to war.
We see, every day, how war is destroying human life and the precious life of the planet. This must stop.

Most of us do not experience the full horror of what is happening. But those who are ordered to fight and kill, if they survive, are condemned to suffering for the rest of their lives from the atrocities they have witnessed and the injuries they have sustained.

The families of those who have been sacrificed live in grief forever. Mothers
and grandmothers never recover from the loss of their beloved sons and
grandsons, the rape of their daughters and granddaughters. Bitterness, hatred, fear and trauma pass from generation to generation. Trauma does not vanish with time but is held within the collective psyche of humanity. That is why ALL war must stop.

This is a key moment in our evolution. The choices we make now will
determine our future – and whether there is a future.

There is only one power in the world that can eliminate war. That power is
Women in service to Love. So we proclaim:

We, the Women of the World, command that ALL war stops NOW!

Elder as Envisioning Aspects of Self with Jojopahmaria Nsoroma

What is the difference between an elder versus someone who is a teacher or a guide with the acknowledgment that an individual can inhabit all of these identities or two or one. Eldering as recognizing learning as learning or studying aspects of the self removed by proximity in order to see the whole more clearly, or at different perspectives. You are the other and the other is you. This is why the presence of an elder can facilitate one opening more deeply to different aspects of oneself.

Eileen is our first guest in 2023, a year in which we are committed to more conversations with our elders. We turn to our elders for their guidance, their humor, their wisdom, and their clarity. Eileen offered a bunch of that today with some emphasis about care in community and family. She shares some of what she has eldered in Quanita that she nows sees Quanita engaging in as well.
