Sustainable Wisdom Psychology: Integrating Reclaiming Indigenous Knowhow Spirituality Worldview for Rebuilding so as to move from Pathology to Global Flourishing or Remembering Who We Are
Topic: Indigenous Spirituality Theme: Becoming more Virtuous People
The OHRC does not define "Indigenous Spirituality" in recognition of its diversity and Indigenous peoples right to define and determine this for themselves. (Ontario Human Resource Commission, 2015)
Which Spiritual Tradition? What PLACE?
The OHRC does suggest that there are common themes regarding spirituality being a way of life and a way of knowing that was centered on a holistic interconnected relationship with visible and invisible worlds. (Place-based; Nature is all; animistic; generosity oriented; gift economies; non-heirarchical (or reverse dominance); cooperative/complementary, etc.)
But this is dismissed by many
Including academics..

WORLDVIEW Worldview is a concept whose time has come, and its increasing appearance in the contemporary climate change and global sustainability debates can be understood as both response to, and reflection of, the challenges of our time and the solutions they demand. Annick Hedlund-de Witt (2013, p. 3) Worldview refers to the foundational assumption or perception regarding the underlying nature of reality, proper social relations or guidelines for living and the existence or non-existence of important entities (2004, p.5). See Koltko-Rivera s article, The Psychology of Worldviews, (2004, p.5)
Robert Redfield s Work These differences in how people relate to nature and the supernatural led Robert Redfield to conclude that there are two principal kinds of world-views. He referred to them as "mythological" and "civilized." Today, they are more often referred to as "indigenous" and "metropolitan" or dominant. (http://anthro.palomar.edu/social/soc_2.htm)
So How Do We Change or Modify Our Dominant Worldview????
But where and how do we start? The CAT-FAWN CONNECTION CAT= Concentration Activated Transformation (TBL)
Propaganda, indirect hypnosis, direct hypnosis, intentional and unintentional When we believe an idea or image, trance logic overshadows both reason and deep knowing. How else can we explain what is going on?
Denial and Hegemony Physical, Biological and Cultural Genocide: Cruelty, inadequate medical services delivered by incompetent staff, unmarked graves and altered statistics all point to the fact that services were not being delivered responsibly. Had there been an element of choice in sending children to these schools, the term genocide might not be justified. (See Report) (Also consider Columbus Mural at Notre Dame)
