  • Summary

  • The boy looks around and finds himself in the darkness, abondoned. There never were any snipes and now he is alone. This is a snipe hunt; a ritual of sorts, practiced for hundreds of years by thousands of children. And it provides a surprising metaphor for the nature of spiritual transformation, nondualistic thinking, and deconstruction. Snipe hunting is my story, and it’s yours, too.

    The mental health struggles snuck up on us. And as each of these aspects of life began to erode, I found myself with fewer and fewer sanctuatires.

One of the dualistic lenses through which they viewed the world was to see some people as the savoirs and others to be those in need of saving.

    The belief that ideas ought to step in a boxing ring and battle it out with each other is known as dualism. Dualism leaves no room for nuance and qualifications. It can even hijack my identity, as I start to view myself as somebody who is always for this thing and who always stands against that thing.

    Groups take us in. They love us, care for us, and make deep demands of us. We see it in a Snipe Hunt and as I look back at my years in the church, I see how the same pattern played itself out years later. Today's spiritual practice is a modification of The Riverside Meditation.
