Hopi Indian White Eagle’s words:“This moment that mankind is experiencing now can be considered a door or a hole. The decision to fall into the hole or walk through the door is yours. If you consume the information 24 hours a day, with negative energy, constantly nervous, with pessimism, then you fall into this hole. But if you take this opportunity to look at yourself, to reconsider life and death, to care for yourself and others, you are walking through the gate. Take care of your home, take care of your body. Connect with your spiritual home. When you take care of yourself you take care of everyone else. Don’t underestimate the spiritual dimension of this crisis. Take the perspective of an eagle that sees everything from above with a broader eye. There is a social question in this crisis, but also a spiritual question. Both go hand in hand. Without the social dimension, we fall into bigotry. Without the spiritual dimension we perish in pessimism and meaninglessness. You are ready to endure this crisis. Pack your toolbox and use all the tools available. Learn the resistance from the example of the Indian and African peoples: we are and still are being made extinct. But we never stopped singing, dancing, building a fire and having joy. Don’t feel guilty for feeling happy in these difficult times. Being sad or angry doesn’t help at all. Resistance is resistance through joy! You have every right to be strong and positive. And there is no other way to do this than by adopting a beautiful, cheerful and radiant attitude. This has nothing to do with alienation (ignorance of the world). This is a resistance strategy. When we walk through the door, we have a new worldview because we have faced our fears and hardships. That’s all you can do now: – Calm in the storm – Keep calm, pray daily – Make it a habit to encounter the sacred every day. Show resistance through art, joy, trust and love.
