Etuaptmumk: Two-Eyed Seeing | Rebecca Thomas | TEDxNSCCWaterfront

Etuaptmumk - Two-Eyed Seeing is explained by saying it refers to learning to see from one eye with the strengths of Indigenous knowledges and ways of knowing, and from the other eye with the strengths of Western knowledges and ways of knowing ... and learning to use both these eyes together, for the benefit of all. Spoken word artist, current Halifax Slam Master and recently appointed Poet Laureate for the Halifax Regional Municipality, Rebecca Thomas also holds the position of Coordinator of Aboriginal Student Services at the Nova Scotia Community College. Coming from an indigenous background whose family has been greatly impacted by residential schools, Ms. Thomas has come to recognize the lack of prominence given to First Nations perspectives within the history of Halifax. As a Mi’kmaw woman, she embraces the opportunity to bring her cultural voice to the broader public discussion through the Poet Laureate position, and believes that the arts and poetry can help people heal in ways beyond traditional therapies. “Poetry can give a voice to the voiceless. Poetry can make a powerless person feel powerful. This is why I speak,” said Ms. Thomas.

Excerpt

“…during our times of trauma you know we know and believe that the Great Spirithas given us a way on how to how to receive the help that we need when it comes to to dealing with the mental emotional physical or spiritual help that we need and it has been the way of our people to always approach healing from a holistic sense…like that but we're going to see more and more natural occurrences that are hopefully are going to try to wake us up from this insanity and this nightmare that we're living…”

A DREAM: Get Ready - Received by Nii Gaani Aki Inini,Leading Earth Man (Dave Courchene) Sep 25, 2018 posted by The Turtle Lodge. 

“…I even wondered what did the grandfathers mean the change is very close now and there was no time to waste I knew that it hadto be something natural was it the weather was it the elements of life fire the wind the earthquakes the tornadoes the hurricanes droughts will the economycrash would it be something similar to the depression and the terrors but more severe when we reflect on the current world conditions there is no doubt of a need for a major change the need tochange our current attitudes to values that support life a change is needed to be more kind more compassionate more giving and sharing…”

What is non-duality? What do we mean by consciousness? Does it really exist? What is reality? Is there any thing "out there"? Why don't we see consciousness in the material world? What do we mean by "I"? Why is any of this important? From the deep pools of Eastern wisdom, to the fast-paced rapids of the West, Peter Russell has mastered many fields, and synthesized them with consummate artistry. Weaving his unique blend of scientific rationale, global vision, and intuitive wisdom, Peter brings a sharp, critical mind to the challenge of self-awakening. The next great frontier of human exploration, he shows, is not outer space, but inner space — the development of the human mind. He has degrees in theoretical physics, experimental psychology, and computer science from the University of Cambridge in England, and has written ten books in this area, including The Global Brain Awakens, Waking Up in Time, and most recently, From Science to God: A Physicist’s Journey into the Mystery of Consciousness.
