SEEING SHADOWS OR GHOSTS???

The realms are opening to you. There are rules and expectations. One thing: develop a good spiritual practice. One world is similar to other worlds in that math and law govern each. At the level of creation each world harbors its secrets, its gifts, and its facility with power, and what powerful gifts and lessons are from soul to soul. There are hierarchies, and there is space between worlds held together by stories come together in agreement. The questions are always who are you? What are  your gifts? Why are you here and alive, and what is your Medicine? 

Relationships exist in all worlds, and invitations have to be considered and weighed. So the questions one could ask if other worlds are opening up to him or her is: who am I? How do I love, and what shields do I need to consciously wear in the unknown? How is my impeccability? What is the story in my heart, and of my heart? What do I know, or not know? What is truth?

There are many things to consider, and then there is only one: your heart. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5.13.13

Walking The Red Road

Creator has a plan for each of us. We must strive to walk the Red Road, to fulfill our lives paths. We must learn to listen to what our heart's speak to us. We must pray and let the smoke take our prayers to Creator. Not just sometimes when we have a need, but daily. In the morning when the day is new and in the evening before we rest. We must thank Creator for our food and all he has given us. It is He who loves us and He who made us.

We must do our part to care for Mother Earth as she is sick and in need. She provides us with all we need to survive. The food we eat, the air we breathe. We must do all we can to make sure she can continue to provide, for the sake of the children.

We must love one another. Love means caring, compassion, and sacrifice. To do all we can do to help each other. Whatever the need is, food, clothing, a warm place to sleep, council, prayers or a hug, we do all we can for our brothers and sisters of this world. Real love is all the time, not just when we want to, or when we have time.

We must teach the children to walk the Red Road, to care for Mother Earth. We must teach them their heritage, their culture. The children are the future, and if we fail to teach them, their heritage is lost to them, and we as Native Americans will cease to exist as a people.

We must teach them to walk tall, to be proud of who and what they are. We must teach them to fight the injustices of all the Native Americans as a whole. To band together as one people, one tribe, and to put aside their differences, and focus on the rights of our people as one people. To stand together as one. To be one strong Nation. To agree to disagree for the good of our people as a whole. To fight for the protection of Mother Earth, and all creations on her.

We should never judge another person as we have not lived their lives, nor do we know what their hearts speak to them. When others do us wrong, we need to pray for them, not show anger, and vengeance. Show love and teach by example.

We must never disrespect the beliefs of another as we all have to listen to what our heart's speak to us. We have no right to change their beliefs and should respect them as we wouldn't want another to do this to us and our beliefs. Always respect others beliefs, ideas, and demand they respect yours. Always treat others as you want to be treated. Strive to be the best person you can be, and grow Spiritually everyday.

Always know the words you speak can have a profound effect on another person, and chose those words so as not to inflict hurt on another's heart, as words can never truly be taken back, you can apologize, and be forgiven, but the scars left by those words are forever in the heart of those we hurt. Always remember this before you speak and ask yourself if your words will inflict hurt before you say them.

Try not to waste time with worrying as it won't change things. Use your energy on more positive things. These are just my thoughts...

A SAGE LIFE??

from Pitit Neg Ahier

Shared via Amadou Safiyah Diallo

Life is a continuity always and always. It's not going to any final destination, she goes to. Just a pilgrimage, just the journey in itself is life, not the attainment of a certain point.

No goal - just dancing and being in pilgrimage, moving joyously, without bothering about a destination. What will you do when you reach a destination? Nobody asked this, because everyone is trying to have some destination in life. But the implications ...

If you really reach the destination of life and then what? Then you will look very embarrassed. Nowhere to go ... you have reached the final destination and the journey you lost everything you had to lose everything. Also you are naked into the final destination. You'll look like an idiot. What was the purpose? You hate so strongly you care so strongly and this is the result!

 

"Near the end of Amadou's words this seems to be a dismal and narrowing thought process. The mystery of living is gone, and the grasp of the enormity of Life is in small hands, it seems." - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 2.19.13

WOMEN’S HEART

"Every woman's Heart has different instructions. They're written through her eyes, in her smile, through her actions and in her tears. She just has to find someone who cares enough to read them." ♥ ...one love, unity - Silvia Mamani 7.25.12

Sometimes... you have to do exactly what’s best for you and your life... not what’s best for everyone else. - Silvia Mamani

SACRED STORY SACRED MEANS

"The more in Alignment we are with our Soul, the more Sacred our sexual connections become. As we become Conscious, Open Hearted & Totally Present in our Lovemaking, we begin to experience Orgasmic Activation in every cell of our Being. Soul Sex allows us to Merge in Oneness with our Lover..." - anon
