Blind to the unseenworld, some thoughts ~ Rainy

Share

Did you ever long for people who understood how you saw the world?
I think a lot about what has happened that so many humans are disconnected from the Earth as a living being and I long to live in a world society that does honor the Earth.

This morning it’s quite rainy and raw outside, the leaves are changing to that rusty orange color that precedes the brown just before they drop from the trees. It’s a good morning for quiet work and introspection.
 
I decided it was time to watch a DVD I had received from the American Indian Institute about Pauline Whitesinger,  a traditional Dine (Navajo) elder living as she has done all her life in the simple respectful way of her ancestors.  Mrs. Whitesinger spoke (via translation) of keeping connection to all life forms in this world. Her words conveyed so much reverence for the land, the trees, the animals in her care that it was easy to see the energetic tapestry that she and we all live in and are weavers of. (Read more…)

About 2012 from Mayan Messenger ~ Wandering Wolf

Wandering Wolf’s Message                                                       of March 17, 2009
Grandfather Cirilo Perez Oxlaj’s Mayan name is Wakatel Utiw, which means “Wandering Wolf” in his native language. He is regarded as the Voice of the Jungle and the Messenger of the Maya, but we know him as Grandfather Cirilo.

This article is an excerpt from Grandfather’s talk he gave in Antigua Guatemala
 addressing a group on a sacred pilgrimage arranged by Aluna Joy: www.alunajoy.com.

“Well my dear brothers and sisters. Welcome to the Maya land in Guatemala.

I could ask you “What are you doing in Guatemala?” But then you could ask me the same thing when I over there in the States, “What are you doing here?” Because each one of us, we travel to different parts of the world. But what are we looking for? We are looking for love and understanding among all beings that inhabit the Earth. We are searching for something in our minds for what we can do to defend Mother Earth, because we see that we are leaving a world that is very contaminated now. (Read more…)

Selling the sacred ~Valerie Taliman

Indian Country Today  Selling the sacred by Valerie Taliman
Originally printed at http://www.indiancountrytoday.com/opinion/64077357.html
The Oct. 9 headlines read: “Sweat lodge disaster” and “2 dead, 19 taken to hospitals, 64 people in sweat lodge.”
Except that it wasn’t a real sweat lodge. It was a bastardized version of a sacred ceremony sold by a multimillionaire who charged people $9,695 a pop for his “Spiritual Warrior” retreat in Sedona, Ariz.
The man responsible, self-help spiritual entrepreneur James Arthur Ray, claimed the New Age retreat would absolutely “change your life.”
It did – it took the lives of a father of three children and a healthy young woman. It also caused burns, respiratory arrest, kidney failure, loss of consciousness, and dehydration for other paying customers who were hospitalized. (Read more…)

The Tsunamis Within ~ Rainy

Share

Thoughts on the tsunamis within.

Floods, fires, earthquakes and deaths have dominated the global news these last weeks. This summer family and friends and family of friends have struggled with illness, accidents and traumatic life events.  Hearing and seeing the above renewed in me reflections and thoughts about the holographic dynamics between self and the external world, the within and without, and what can possibly be done about this rising peril in people and the Earth.
These days many are aware of the concept of reflections or mirrors, what we see happening around us is a reflection of what is going on inside us. As above, so below. One might think of it as mere projection or take it to the deeper levels of how we create our reality.
