Part 5: Shamans, Midwives, and Hospice Workers
by Dianne Monroe, author of Collapsing Consciously: Transformative Truths for Turbulent Times
Beyond the edge where what we know and don't know meets lies
the Unknown (with a capital U). It's a wild place that stretches the capacity
of our human consciousness. This edge space is inhabited by a very particular
kind of Edge-Dweller -- those willing to hold the hugeness of even our ability
to know, the horizon of human consciousness.
This is the place inhabited by Shamans, Midwives, Hospice
Workers (and perhaps others). Midwives hold the edge place between birth and
whatever exists or does not exist before. They hold the process of bringing a
human into being, welcoming them to their place on this magnificent planet.
Hospice Workers hold the edge place between human life and whatever exists or
does not exist after our time as humans on Earth is done. Shamans hold and
navigate that huge edge space between the human world and that world that
exists just beyond the edge of our consciousness -- that some may call the
Divine or Holy, Spirit, Mystery or simply our Cosmos.
