Ways of Knowing

Think with Your Feet

How do we construct knowledge? How do we, in the moment, make decisions? Is it cognitive? Emotional? Do we think things through? Do we feel them through? Why do we say that we are receiving a download? Does awareness come down from the sky? What about an upload? Lakota activist Tiokasin Ghosthorse speaks about uploading from the Earth. What happens when we begin to think with our feet?

Who taught us this?

This awareness of thinking with the feet emerged from a conversation with extraordinary life coach Christopher Kuntzsch in 2018. Many years later, in a conversation with Tiokasin Ghosthorse of the Cheyenne River Lakota, we learned the Lakota word for this non-cognitive faculty of awareness, whereby the earth is constantly uploading information to us.
