As a geomancer and an academic student of sociology, politics, and psychology, I find myself deeply resonating with the recent article by N.S. Lyons. His exploration of the relationship between a nation and its people, the concept of national identity, and the role of love in shaping a society, echoes my own understanding of the intricate connection between us and the spirit of our nation.
My academic pursuits have always been entwined with my energy work, as I believe that the structures and institutions within societies are expressions of the subtle energy of our individual and collective psyche. This perspective allows me to see the profound interplay between the physical, the social, and the spiritual dimensions of our existence.
The Spirit of a Nation
In geomancy, we believe that we are intrinsically intertwined not just with the physical landscape of our nation, but also with its very spirit. This spirit holds the energetic subtle energy pattern for all things to come into 3D form in that nation, including its population. We ourselves are an expression of the spirit fulfilling its purpose. We are not just an embodiment of our own personal soul values, but also the values of a nation.
The Analogy of Soul Values
Drawing on the analogy of the values of the souls and the values of a nation's customs, practices, and faith, we can see a parallel in terms of people and their nation. Just as a nation's customs, practices, and faith embody certain values that guide its societal interactions and define its identity, so too does a nation embody certain values that shape its culture, its policies, and its people. These values are not just abstract concepts; they are living, breathing entities that are deeply embedded in the spirit of the nation.
Sacred Landscape Temples
Our sacred landscape temples are a means to communicate with the spirit of the nation. Their stones and water form a bridge for us to access quantum consciousness, enabling us to fulfill our role in the rich tapestry of the nation's life. These temples are not just physical structures; they are portals to a deeper understanding of our nation and our place within it.
Migration and Assimilation
This understanding of our deep connection with the spirit of our nation also sheds light on the process of migration and assimilation. When we migrate, we tend to assimilate into countries with similar values, or we consciously and actively change our value system so that we can become at one with the new nation. This is not just a process of cultural adaptation; it is a spiritual journey that involves aligning our personal soul values with the values of the new nation.
The Article by N.S. Lyons
In his article, Lyons delves into the debate around the concept of national identity, sparked by the controversial comments made by biotech billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk. He criticizes the view of America as a mere economic zone or a professional franchise, arguing that a nation is much more than that. A nation, according to Lyons, is a particular people, with a distinct culture, permanently bound together by shared relationship with place, past, and each other.
Lyons also highlights the importance of love in shaping a nation. He argues that love is not universal; it is born in particulars and defined by distinction. This love for one's nation, or nationalism, grows organically from our love for our family, our land, and our community. It is this love that binds a nation together and guides its conduct.
As a geomancer, I find Lyons' perspective deeply insightful and resonant with my own understanding of the relationship between us and our nation. It reinforces my belief in the importance of aligning our personal soul values with the values of our nation, and in the power of love in shaping a society. It also underscores the significance of our sacred landscape temples as bridges to the spirit of our nation, enabling us to fulfill our role in the rich tapestry of the nation's life.
