- (1888PressRelease) January 21, 2011 - Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, January 25, at 11 a.m. Pacific time/2 p.m. Eastern time, on her show "Why Shamanism Now?: A Practical Path to Authenticity," shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt explains, "Manifesting reality is a somewhat bigger prospect than the book The Secret and all the versions of 'The Art of Getting What You Want' would have you think." According to Pratt, the underlying belief of many ancient shamanic cultures is that reality, as we know it, is the result of the Dream of the Kosmos, or the Dreamtime as it is called in some cultures. From this Great Kosmic Dream comes the thread of life that connects all things and all times. This thread of life flows through your Ancestors into you and through you to the descendants. You and all of your life have been dreamt into existence just as certainly as you are now dreaming reality into manifestation.
Pratt asks listeners: Given the stuff of your life, what are you dreaming? And for the parts you don't really like, how do you change your dream to change your reality? Pratt tells listeners that the helping spirits in a shamanic practice teach us that one of the many responsibilities of spiritual adulthood is to tend our dreams and to pay attention to all that our dreams are creating. In this episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "The Secret or the Big Dream", Pratt explores how our dreams become part of the Big Dream and how the nightmares of your life can be released by allowing the Big Dream to dream you.
