It was the best thing I could do to explain where my people live. I drew a rough map of Africa, and then North America, but I soon realized that they had never seen a globe. They had heard of a village called “Germany,” but I had to introduce them to their homeland in Texas.
Through London, I traveled from Dallas, Texas to Kenya in about 24 hours. Adapting to the change of time (12 hours) in Nairobi, I stumbled upon a witch's blindness and sat under a tree. He called himself a healer and said that he could balance energy because he was gifted with the ability to incarnate pure energy that can cause miraculous healings. His fee for cleaning up my energy was 7 cents.
Using a translator, I asked another healer what his methods were included. He said that the witch doctor always worked with a medical man who first tried to solve an imbalance with herbs, poultices and bitter teas. If the symptoms continued, they called a witch doctor to develop a plan to eradicate the evil spirit causing the problem.
One ceremony used by this tribe included a circle of 10 young people around a “sick” person who was imprisoned outside the center. For several hours, a large fire was built, and people walked, then walked, and then danced until he was attracted to the sick person, and began to gain sick energy into himself, until he fell to the ground because of his weight. His tribal comrades will dance around him until they understand everything they can from cosmic venom, hoping to disperse him into the universe.
The medical man explained to me that the tribe could not afford to have a sick person living among them — hospitals were unheard of. Nightmares and recurring dreams are two places where a healer seeks answers to health problems. Painful problems that we do not face during the day, face us in dreams and nightmares, which he explained.
It was just a touch of what I learned from my time with the Masai tribe on the Masai Mare, which is about 6 hours in a jeep outside of Nairobi. In cities, parents call children after American members, so tourists will give them money. Americans are known to be rich in most countries. standards. On television, they see that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie come from orphans with obscurity to the notice and think that each of us can be there to do the same.
Mombasa, which is a port city like San Diego, was 85% Muslim, and it was rare to see a woman without a rag or burka covering her. I wore one of the covers while I was spices, and that made me feel like a piece of furniture. Even covered women were very alarmed if they tried to take their picture.
We need what they have. A tribal mentality could save us from ourselves. Right now we are poisoning our planet - our sources of food and water. Air is our next important issue. Life, as if we are really connected with the soil, because we are really connected with the soil, is how we heal, like the world, like the earth, like the human race.
