  Falling In Love It is a mystery why we fall in love. It is a mystery how it happens. It is a mystery when it comes. It is a mystery why some love grows and it is a mystery why some love fails. You can analyze this mystery and look for reasons and causes, but you will never do anymore than take the life out of the experience. Just as life itself is more than the sum of the bones and muscles and electrical impulses in the body, love is more than the sum of the interests and attractions and commonalities that two people share. And just as life is a gift that comes and goes in its own time, so too, the coming of love must be taken as an unfathomable gift that cannot be questioned in its ways. Sometimes, hopefully at least once in your life - the gift of love will come to you in full flower, and you will take hold of it and celebrate it in all inexpressible beauty. This is the dream we all share. More often, it will come and take hold...

  Soundings: the Shaman's Journey How can we use the creative, projective, and energetic quality of words and sounds to aid a shamanistic journey? We are trying to extend and explore the edges of consciousness for its own sake, as a part of being human; to see if we can acquire knowledge, skills, and insights to help in dealing with our own personal problems and those of the human community at large. "Ordinary" consciousness may be too narrow and limited to solve problems, personal and human -- shamanism implies a willingness to go further afield, to explore and extend the mind in an unconventional way. For those interested in shamanistic practice, this means to experience modern variations on some of the most ancient and widespread of human psychophysical practices, dating back (on the evidence of artifacts) at least 35,000 years. Practices whose aim is to deepen knowledge of existence, penetrate some of the mystery of life, and bring help to others. This is wha...

Star Family Gathering of Native American Elders by Richard J. Boylan, Ph.D. (C) 1997 For four days in mid-March, fifteen Native American Elders [1] assembled at a conference next to the Western hub of the U.S. Military/Intelligence Complex. San Diego was displaying Chamber of Commerce weather, with brilliant sunshine, warm days, and nights cooled by ocean breezes The Indian teachers had come to finally disclose, in simple yet compelling terms, long-held sacred knowledge about past, present and upcoming contacts between their people and the Star Nations (extraterrestrials). These are matters that the Office of Naval Intelligence, several miles away, would consider classified Top Secret Ultra, Q Clearance, above Level 10. Joining the Native Elders at this Star Family Gathering were fifteen other specialists [2], speaking from a non-Native perspective on the changes in our society being wrought by growing awareness of expanding human consciousness and of extraterrestrial visita...

The point I am trying to get through is all of this was done by human beings, NOT GOD! Therefore, prone to error or opinion of the copiers or the scroll writers. It takes nothing to make an "and" into an "or" and destroy the original intent of the writing. You all have seen the nonsense that comes out in all media, newspapers, news sources, social media etc., enough to make an intelligent man very doubtful of all written sources. Then if you sit through enough sermons like I have you will notice various non-sequential errors in the pastors so called teaching with intent or not, it can throw the original intent into the scrap pile. Then put together what the pastor or priest has experienced in life, you suddenly question how does this guy know, he has not experienced life like you or me? I realize one needs Faith to put all this together in a meaningful life, but you do not need some other fool telling you how to live. All 10 commandments are built into us at birth...

  Our Elders in the Sacred - Part 2 Some years ago, I was intent upon finding my Native roots. As my native family migrated back East in search of work, they eventually settled in New England. I was born in Laconia, New Hampshire. As a child, I never had an opportunity to know my native roots. In fact, my family, like so many people of native or mixed blood in those days took extra measures to cover-up their native blood. I was raised in my younger years, with little knowledge of my ancestors except when I visited my Great Grandmother who was a full blood Seneca, in western New York State on the Oil Springs Reservation.   My Great Grandmother was an elder in every sense of the word. She had a spiritual glow that shined through a very tough and untouchable exterior, that I know now was a fabrication in order to fend off the hurts of life. Even as young as I was I can remember two distinct characteristics about her. She smoked a corncob pipe continuously, and her pre...

What I see mostly on these Social Media sites is one political opinion after another. These do nothing but frustrate and do nothing to help quantify your life. So I thought I would share my life experience and hopefully, it will help some of you. So I have spent a great deal of time studying The Spiritual life of various cultures around the world and there is a common thread through all of them. That being the Creator. I have come to a place in my mind about the Truth of him and where exactly is this Great Spirit who in reality does very little to preserve and guide life. IE. Your story, my story, other people's struggle through life, and the most concerning issue are millions of babies' lives cut short through abortion. People who do this are Murderers, where is your Loving GOD through all this? Does not make sense unless one looks closely at our Higher Self which resides just above us but outside our body. Now here's the mystery, why do miracles happen to some people and ...

By Grant Redhawk – AKA Two Feathers Oki Ni-Kso-Ko-Wa, Today we embark on a new and broad category of study. In a Talk of Elders lies a multitude of learning opportunities from knowledge available to all of us. I must say very early on that I am only a channel (I use that term very loosely), of that wisdom, not the wisdom keeper. I only Wish I knew how to integrate all that is taught to me in my practical life. If I did I would be so peaceful, I would have no need to strike these keys :) I must confess that I am like my Spirit friend the Red-tail, only a messenger. Contents What I hope to accomplish is a short, bite size insight of how much we are interconnected with all other beings of this universe. I hope to give you insights as to how much we really are responsible for each other. To show you the sacredness of your own path, and how to recognize the sacredness of all other beings. How to integrate that sacredness back into a sadly...
