Dogon Tribal Wisdom: The Myths of Time, Language & Selective History w/ Naba Iritah #489
The Life Stylist
The Problem With Imposition
Culture does not have race. Culture is a way of being a lifestyle, and within that lifestyle, anyone can learn with dedication to live that lifestyle. So for us, you are from America. You come to my land and then you learn and then you become, you know, if you follow all of the things that the culture, then you speak my language. That's it. Once you learn to speak my language, there's nothing I can hide from you again. And this mission, I impose, people will come to learn to have that. A non-impose actually humbly, impose people to understand that the concept of humility and self-respect is what makes Indigenous people
Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to a guest whose wisdom and insights are truly unparalleled: Naba Iritah Shenmira. From the esteemed Dogon lineage of the Gulmu region in Africa, Naba Iritah is a healer who embodies a lineage that's deeply connected to ancestral knowledge and traditions.
After his father’s passing, Naba Iritah dedicated his life to claiming the initiatic heritage and healing knowledge of his bloodline in order to carry on the mission of his Ancestors, doing full health consultations and Bayuali Earth Energy Readings through Ankhkasta Natural Healing.
We discuss what it genuinely means to learn from indigenous cultures and the delicate balance between individualism and community that shapes cultures across the globe, touching upon the essence of humility and self-respect as non-negotiables when interacting with other cultures, the role of ego in spiritual processes, and the risks we face when commodifying cultural and spiritual practices.
Dive with us into the stories that shaped our modern world, and we venture to understand the collaborative nature and origin of the profound energies resonating from the pyramids and temples of the Nile Valley.
