We have created a complex world to live in with many strands that influence our day to day lives. Is it possible to rebuild more simply?
Our societies have been created slowly over time with each decision and choice determining the next one. Our present is deeply rooted in our collective past.
This is something that the native American Iroquois embedded into their governance through the Great Law of the Haudenosaunee with the Seventh Generation Principle. This principle states that any decision should consider the impact on 7 generations forward into the future.
The notion that the future is created in the past is one that we are wrestling with now. The state of the environment and our relationship with nature are at the heart of this re-assessment.
And whilst we tangle with the issues at a collective level, we are also unravelling our own personal journeys from past to present.
There is one Bach flower essence that really speaks to our collective condition in this moment and that is Pine.
Pine represents the connection to the past, the guilt associated with it and, the often, suppressed spirit that has been controlled by the decisions and choices that have been made. It offers the opportunity to straighten out tangled emotions and the opportunity to release the guilt of past choices and conditions. It offers the chance to rebuild with freedom of choice.
