Billy Goat Idol

​Billy Goat Idol is a whimsical take on a practice so prominent that is seems invisible at times, that being the idol worship that permeates our culture.  What people, systems and ideologies are we taught to idolize as being all powerful so that we spend our lives chasing these outward projections? 
     Jasmine has been studying  the diverse and interconnected realms of spirituality, energy and physics, and how these form the foundation of our own heart-centered reality. Rather than looking outside of ourselves for this embodiment of perfection that we are told these idols hold, we must begin to look inwards at our own heart and realize the perfection that already exists.  Our true nature, albeit one that may be covered in layers of fear, anger, guilt and feelings of unworthiness. These emotions are just teachers though, opportunities to learn, grow and transform, the ultimate creation story. 
    Animals and plants are fully realized beings as they are ego-less, and therefore only know how to exist as their true selves. They do not weave the dramatic stories that us humans are so caught up in creating. What lessons can we learn from these beings as we struggle to balance our inner work with the outer world?
