Balsa....applause from me! Wowzers, thank you. What a "Sunday offering" for the soul.
You said, "If we want more, for ourselves and for our future, then we are instead going to have to reach for the star's and the gift of the galaxy in a very real sense, but how? How can we succeed over these forces; these enemies of old, the Conquistadors?"
Eagle has put the answer here at his website in another section. I have lived to experience and know intimately that "THE" answer is practicing silent stillness. There is more than one suggested mental exercise for this, but the common threads in them all, or they are not true inner-stillness/awareness, are the same.
Call it self awareness or Mindfulness, it's the answer because "of ourselves we do nothing." The Spirit of either the good side of the force or of the bad side of the force, they do the work in us. We cannot defeat the dragons of old, or witness them defeated through us as the conduit, without us "getting out of the way" inside ourselves.
We must be still within, silent....to observe the storms within, as well as without.
Was said to me so simply. To raise our consciousness is without substance, so not to reach for anything outside of ourselves, for they are hypnotic. We are already hypnotized and need to be de-hypnotized, deprogrammed, each of us to of course varying levels.
Look inside! watch the sometimes even insane thought-stream, becoming objective to it instead of carried away IN it.
In this stillness is all power. It isn't in chanting, or imbibing substances, for each new high is, in reality a new low. It's in self-awareness.
Our minds stress us because they often replay incessantly, the events of the day. Dreams should be a library for us to utilize, not something we relive. Same thing for the waking events of our lives. We should be the masters of our minds, not the obedient slaves, for stress can cause disease and our minds therefore can even stress us to death.
When we are in our centers, many like to call it, not lost in the past memories, or the mind's planning of the next moment, dreaming of it, etc....we are then acted through. Whichever way our soul is inclined to act, for whichever side of the force....is the determination of which side of the force we are acted through and protected by.
Then, those dragons of old can be defeated by what's within us, effortlessly and in ways we couldn't have engineered.
