Ceremony is a beautiful moment of gratitude, celebration, and honor. It is where we come together as a tribe to bring attention to a specific event, a marking of time, between people or as individuals. We come together to witness the event, to leave a mark and evidence of that moment being defined. Ceremony is how we bring sacredness into our lives. Whether it is through the ritual of brushing your teeth as a ceremonial gesture of health and hyiegene towards respecting yourself, or the wedding ceremony celebrating the union of two lovers, or your monthly full moon ceremony, there is a great place for ceremony in our lives. Due to religious corruption and lack of integrity and mal-practice, most of us don’t take religious ceremony seriously. Yet we are in total lacking of ceremony in our lives, of bringing back the sacred and excitement of what is being experienced in the present moment. We are here now living a multi-dimenssional life with an unlimited reserve of energy and joy. Visionary Mystic Manex Ibar explains how ceremony is a large part of his life and of how we humans come together to celebrate each other and witness one another. Episode 5 – What is Ceremony?

Consciousness is a big word we throw around to mean many different things. Science is still puzzled by what it is.

A shaman is a person with wisdom and gifts to see what others don’t see, to hear what others don’t hear, entering into a world of spirit and to remain sane navigating coherently both worlds. Usually this comes with gifts of healing, as each shaman is a bridge between worlds and their lives is dedicated to being at service to both worlds. Often initiated into the path through death, lineage, or radical aloness in the wild. Shaman’s are usually on the frindge of society, either through their environment or in thought if not both. Shamanism has become a phenomena in Western society, as we are starving for any spiritual experience that is authentic and not religious. Shamans provide individual experience and guidance for each person to find their own spirituality.

Expectations are something that our brain creates from anticipation and imagination of what we expect life should be, rather then allowing life to be what it is. Gratitude is a wonderful interplay between expectations that lead to disappointment and the victim state. Gratitude allows us to move into an open hearted space to welcome the present that life is offering now. Manex discusses expectations and how we also have expectations of spirituality. The real blessing is to get rid of expectations, if you can, by really staying in the present. Expecting is childish. Learning to live with what is here is where we gain tremendous insight into what is. Getting rid of expectations is like opening up multiple doorways and perceptions into reality. In the egoic state, your sense of self, your identity, is derived from your thinking mind – in other words, what your mind tells you about yourself: the storyline of you, the memories, the expectations, all the thoughts that go through your head continuously and the emotions that reflect those thoughts. All those things make up your sense of self.Eckhart Tolle “There’s strong data that, within companies, the No. 1 reason for ethical violations is the pressure to meet expectations, sometimes unrealistic expectations” – Stephen Covey. Expectations are poisonous for spirit, and only keep us in the perception of the ego-mind mechanism.

Is Spirituality important to our lives? What is it? And why is it important? What can being spiritual give me? Isn’t going to church being spiritual? Spirituality is for hippies? Spirituality is religious. I don’t believe in God, so I don’t have to be Spiritual? If these are some of your questions, then this podcast is for you. Visionary Mystic Manex Ibar talks about the importance of spirituality, and it doesn’t have to be religious – maybe even better if not – but more as a part of being human. As a human we all have a body, a mind, emotions, and spirit. Think of the Spirit of a team. The spirit of you is what is inside you, the thing that wakes up at a concert, or when you’re in love, or when you’re scared. It’s this very hard to define essence within you that Science has been trying to discover and mystics have been talking about since before time existed. Join the podcast and discover more.
