Why we are separated

When we are connected our hearts are joined together and become stronger. When we are separated, we feel is lonliness and emptiness, depression, and not belonging. How did humans become so spearated? We are meant to feel each other’s pain and love. We are meant to fall in love with strangers, give food and shelter to those who need it. Because we have light in our beings that we need to be shining on each other, on everything around us.

We have so many images of another that are false. Stories we saw in the media, movies and in magazines that have been building this separtion for centuries. Stories of horror, pain we inflict on each other, destruction, violence. Storeis of our past that we need to leave there. We have not been seeing truth about each other. Those stories scripted by people who distort culture to create great entertainment that has nothing to do with reality. Stereotypes created about indigenous people all over the world, people of color and white people. All of this put a big gap between us that we need to overcomew, working together.

We are all brothers and sisters who moved by these stories and images, no longer see the most important tie of all. Our fundamental tie of great consciousnesses within all. Primal energy that once was accessible to us. When as indigenous humans, we lived in harmony with all living things.

By not giving voice to indigenous people all over the world we are loosing important knowledge that cannot be read in the books or on the internet. Slowly internet and constant entertaintment replaced authentic cultures with synthetic, the one that doesn’t let us feel anything, the one that places an individal in it’s own pod as an observer, but not an active member of the community. It also creates individuals who only see nature, our mother earth, as something outside of them, not realizing that her blood is their blood and if she is suffering we will suffer too. Our indigenous borthers and sisters knew that and they know how to help her now, before it’s too late.

I am not offering a magic pill or an instant solutions. My work with Oncata is but a small part in a big puzzle that we are still putting togehter. However for me, it is all consuming. Just like a bee who collects pollen and brings it to the hive, I too collected my experience and knowledge, along with the vision of humans united as one, brought to me by higher powers. That vision moves me, to keep flying to the hive, to drop that little piece of pollen into the big pool and make the honey that will feed us all. No matter the obstacles, no matter the cost.

The idea is simple.

Our small part has to do with casting. Real individuals, real stories, not scripted, not polished. Ethnic groups, not dressed up and made up to look western or modern, but celebrated for their knowledge, wisdom and beauty that is unique to only them. We find and shine light on those people all over the world and the rest, we leave up to honest creators with open minds and hearts.

Let’s lift this veil of illusion of sepeartion based on our senses, our conditioning, ideas in our head, beliefs. Let’s look deep into each other’s hearts and see the light that will be reflected back to us. We still have the light, look into your heart and you will see it.

Are you a creator looking to tell more authentic stories? Do you believe that your stories can change our world for the better? Please visit us so we can create together.
