"Zeitgeist" The Movie


It is Saturday night July 5, 2008, and I have just finished watching the movie "Zeitgeist" for free on the computer. I have never seen anything as profound and mind awakening as this 2 hour movie. This movie covers about anything and everything that could mean something to YOU and your existence here on this Earth. It will also show YOU just how much YOU have been scammed and lied to in your brief time on this planet. It will "opyn your mindz"!

Zeitgeist The Movie is a film by Peter J. exploring the relationship between Christianity, the September 11 attacks and the Federal Reserve Bank. Divided into three parts, (Part I: "The Greatest Story Ever Told", Part II: "All The World's A Stage", and Part III: "Don't Mind The Men Behind The Curtain"), Zeitgeist is designed to prompt the audience into questioning their own beliefs on the subjects of US involvement in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Christian theology, the Federal Reserve System, and the decreasing status of personal freedoms in the United States of America due to introductions of laws and organizations such as The Department of Homeland Security and the Patriot Act.

Please, do me a favor, as well as yourself, and watch this movie. YOU will not be sorry YOU did. Zeitgeist - The Movie

Thank YOU for having "Opyn Mindz",

Magic Mushrooms Spiritual Connection


"Spiritual" effects of mushrooms last a year?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The "spiritual" effects of psilocybin from so-called sacred mushrooms last for more than a year and may offer a way to help patients with fatal diseases or addictions, U.S. researchers reported on Tuesday.

The researchers also said their findings show there are safe ways to test psychoactive drugs on willing volunteers, if guidelines are followed.

In 2006, Roland Griffiths of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, and colleagues gave psilocybin to 36 volunteers and asked them how it felt. Most reported having a "mystical" or "spiritual" experience and rated it positively.

More than a year later, most still said the experience increased their sense of well-being or life satisfaction, Griffiths and colleagues report in the Journal of Psychopharmacology.

"This is a truly remarkable finding," Griffiths said in a statement. "Rarely in psychological research do we see such persistently positive reports from a single event in the laboratory."

The findings may offer a way to help treat extremely anxious and depressed patients, or people with addictions, said Griffiths, whose work was funded by the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse.

"This gives credence to the claims that the mystical-type experiences some people have during hallucinogen sessions may help patients suffering from cancer-related anxiety or depression and may serve as a potential treatment for drug dependence," Griffiths said.

WIDELY OUTLAWED

While psilocybin is widely outlawed, many U.S. states and some countries overlook its use by indigenous people in religious ceremonies.

Supervision of its use is key, the researchers noted.

"While some of our subjects reported strong fear or anxiety for a portion of their day-long psilocybin sessions, none reported any lingering harmful effects, and we didn't observe any clinical evidence of harm," Griffiths said.

Hallucinogens should not be given to people at risk for psychosis or certain other serious mental disorders, the researchers said.

But Griffiths stressed that even those who reported fear said a year later they had no permanent negative effects.

Of the volunteers who took the one-day test of psilocybin, 22 of the 36 had a "complete" mystical experience, based on a detailed questionnaire.

Griffiths said 21 continued to rate highly on this standardized scale 14 months later.
"Even at the 14-month follow-up, 58 percent of 36 volunteers rated the experience on the psilocybin session as among the five most personally meaningful experiences of their lives and 67 percent rated it among the five most spiritually significant experiences of their lives," the researchers said.

The report included some comments from the volunteers.

"Surrender is intensely powerful. To 'let go' and become enveloped in the beauty of -- in this case music -- was enormously spiritual," one volunteer said.

This is what your tax dollars go for. Studies like this! HELLO. Me, and a bunch of people I know, have been trying to tell people this stuff since the '60's. This is not new or some amazing discovery. Hippies, heads and just plain cool people have been knowing this for years. Oh, by the way, it's called "FLASBACKS"! They think mushrooms are unique, try some peyote.

Learning From The Bears

Kodiak Bear
Living In All Realms
Bear Medicine

When the image of a bear enters our consciousness, we may first notice their size, strength, and power, but beyond their physical attributes lay many traits that can guide us deeper into our experience of life. Their abilities as hunters and powerful protectors of their loved ones are well known, but you may also envision them on a quest for variety as they seek out the flavors and scents of the world, first fishing, then enjoying berries, or braving angry bees to indulge in honey. But their hidden strength lies in the bear’s ability to travel between the physical and spiritual worlds, a talent that is recognized all around the world by those who live in harmony with nature.

One way that bears access their inner world is during hibernation when they find a safe and womblike environment to let their physical bodies rest while their spirit travels. They travel through time, mentally digesting and learning from their experiences, but they also travel beyond the realm of mind and body into the dreamtime, where they are able to create their goals and then be rejuvenated by the source of all life. In this sacred space, they are connected to physical, mental, and spiritual realms all at once and can find the balance that they need to reenter the and continue successfully in the world.

Polar bears don’t enter a deep state of hibernation like other bears, but instead fluidly cross between realms on the physical plane as well the spiritual. Their reflective, translucent fur makes them difficult to see as they move across the frozen ice, blending into terrain covered with snow, making them seem like they are shimmering between dimensions. They move as easily in water as on land, agile and able in both worlds. They can remind us that we are one with our environment, inseparable from it. They teach us that while we can take time apart to connect with spirit, we can also carry that awareness with us as we move through life, making the spiritual indistinguishable from the material. By aligning ourselves with bear energy, we fully embody the best of all worlds.

This is really cool stuff if YOU read it deeply and feel and hear what it is saying. Once again, "we can learn so much from the animalz". Just listen, watch and feel.

Bears Rule,

Witch Executions In Europe


Swiss May Exonerate Executed Witch

GENEVA (June 10) - The last witch executed in Europe should be rehabilitated because she was a victim of "judicial murder" more than 200 years ago, said the government of the Swiss canton (state) of Glarus on Tuesday.

The 1782 execution of Anna Goeldi for an alleged case of poisoning was a miscarriage of justice, the cantonal government said. The decision to recommend rehabilitation - or clearing her name - came after a long debate in the eastern Swiss region and was taken in consultation with the Protestant and Roman Catholic churches.

The decision reverses the refusal last year by the cantonal government and the Protestant Church council to consider a rehabilitation. The government changed its view after the cantonal parliament urged it to reconsider.

The recommendation to acknowledge that Goeldi was unfairly prosecuted and not a witch goes back to the parliament for final approval.

Goeldi, a maidservant in the house of prominent burgher Johann Jakob Tschudi, was convicted of "spoiling" the family's daughter, causing her to spit pins and have convulsions.

Tschudi, a doctor and magistrate, was alleged to have had a love affair with Goeldi. Should his adultery have been made public, his reputation would have been seriously damaged.

Goeldi's trial and beheading in the village of Mollis was carried out at a time when witch trials had disappeared from most places in Europe.

The Protestant Church council, which conducted the trial, had no legal authority and had decided in advance that the woman was guilty, the government said. She was executed even though the law at the time did not impose the death penalty for nonlethal poisoning, it added.

"This is to acknowledge that the verdict handed down came from a nonlegal trial and that Anna Goeldi was the victim of 'judicial murder," said a government statement.

Goeldi's torture and execution was even more incomprehensible as it happened in the Age of Enlightenment when "those who made the judgment regarded themselves as educated people," the government said.

"In spite of that they tortured an innocent person and had her executed, although it was known to them that the alleged crime was neither doable nor possible and that there was no legal basis for their verdict."

But it noted the rehabilitation should not give the impression that today's generation assumes the responsibility for the history of the ancient villagers.

The case was brought to light through a book by local journalist Walter Hauser, who highlighted the links among Tschudi, Goeldi and the village authorities.

The government said rehabilitation also can be an acknowledgment that an unknown number of other innocent people whose cases cannot be reviewed were killed over the centuries.

Several thousand people, mainly women, were executed for witchcraft between the 14th and 18th centuries in Switzerland, as they were elsewhere.

The Glarus government said it will contribute 120,000 Swiss francs (US$118,000; 76,000) to an upcoming theater play on Goeldi as "additional sign" to the rehabilitation.

A museum on Goeldi was opened in Mollis in September on the 225th anniversary of her death.

"Rehabilitation is to be more than simple confirmation of innocence," the statement said. "It has to set aside an incomprehensible, unjust state act and acknowledge a crass injustice and seriously false verdict."

And YOU thought this kind of stuff was all "make believe and fairy tales"? Uh, NOT! People were "jacked up" then just as they are now. At least the Swiss are going to try to make a bad situation right. Although they are 225 years late!

Change YOU CAN Believe In


Ending The Cycle
Start Today

One of the hardest things in life is feeling stuck in a situation that we don’t like and want to change. We may have exhausted ourselves trying to figure out how to make change, and we may even have given up. However, each day offers us an opportunity to renew our resolve and to declare to the universe that we are ready for change. We may even say out loud that we have tried and struggled and have not found a way, but that we are open to help, and that we intend to keep working to create change for ourselves. Making this declaration to the universe, and to ourselves, may be just the remedy for the stagnation we are experiencing. And, it can be done today, right now.

It is difficult to understand, even with hindsight, how the choices we have made have added up to our current situation, but it is a good idea to examine the story we tell ourselves. If we tend to regard ourselves as having failed, this will block our ability to allow ourselves to succeed. We have the power to change the story we tell ourselves by acknowledging that in the past, we did our best, and we exhibited many positive qualities, and had many fine moments on our path to the present moment. We can also recognize that we have learned from our experiences, and that this will help us with our current choices.

When we do this kind of work on how we view our past self, we make it possible for the future to be based on a positive self-assessment. This inner shift may allow us to get out of the cycle we’ve been in that’s been keeping us stuck. Now we can declare our intentions to the universe, knowing that we have done the inner work necessary to allow our lives to change. Allow today to be the day to end cycles and enter into a new way of being.

Now this is "change YOU can believe in". Not that Madison Ave bs slogan Obama is using to sucker YOU in for him. By the way, what the hell change/changes is he talking about that "you can believe in"? When are some of YOU going to wake up?

Have a great week of self examination and correction.

Namaste & Peace,

Resonating With Ourselves, Awakening


Finding Our Own Paths
Entering Awareness

Entering into our own spirituality is a private journey. Each of us will be drawn to a different gateway to begin on our personal path to awakening to a greater experience of ourselves. Even though we may be taught certain philosophies or beliefs as children, we still need to find our own way of understanding and applying them in our lives. For those who are raised without a spiritual framework, they may not even know their process as a form of spirituality. But at some stage in their lives, whether in youth or adulthood, they are likely to recognize the resonance of their beliefs, the ring of truth in their philosophy, and their dedication to their chosen purpose.

Our inner guidance will lead us, so that we will be drawn to the right doorway for us--a doorway that only we can recognize by the way it makes us feel inside. It could be a picture of an angel or the gift of a crystal. We may meet someone special who shares their experiences with us in a way that we find intriguing. While visiting the home of an admired friend, we may notice a book or statue of a diety, and ask why they chose those tools. Or a word or phrase may catch our attention in a song, or a lecture. For some they may find their way by walking through the experience of illness before they begin the search for what will help them to truly heal, while others may seek physical improvement and stumble across yoga or meditation--only to find that it leads them to an unexpected place beyond the body.

As we awaken to ourselves and to life, we will become more attuned to what is right for us. The universe speaks to all of us through infinite channels, but we each have our own frequency. Others may share what worked for them, but only we can decide what truly makes us feel inspired, awakened, connected, fully conscious, aware and alive. Whatever our path, it is perfect and is meant especially for us.

It's such a shame that it takes most of us so long to awaken and find our own path. However, when we do, "that is when we really start living and appreciate our time here".

True Resonance Is......

Us On The Physical Plane


Spiritual Being--Physical Experience
Physical Bodies on Earth

We are on this earth, in our physical bodies, because our souls have things to learn that we could not learn in any other way. It is through our physical body and the physical world that we can experience life. Purely spiritual beings are just that - they are in a state of being rather than doing – in a place that is beyond the limitations of time and space. But when we incarnate on the physical plane, we are automatically subject to the laws of physics and the world of dualities. In this place, we know what happiness is because we have experienced sadness, and we understand the value and power of light because we have known darkness. Knowing this, we have the opportunity to let ourselves be spiritual beings having a physical experience.

There is no pain in the spiritual realm, because we know we are one with the limitless source of the universe. But here, in the material realm, our sense of limitation and separation allows us to feel our emotions and to learn about love, forgiveness, and compassion. We go from a spiritual state of oneness to learning how to be in relationship with people who are different and distinct individuals. We learn to understand ourselves through our relationships with the world around us—its seasons and landscapes, challenges and opportunities. And through our journey to find our place among so many others, we begin to recognize our own glimmer of light in a constellation of stars.

Once we remember that we are spiritual beings, we can revel in the experience of being human while knowing we are all connected. We can live from the place of oneness while truly appreciating the beauty of diversity, the bittersweet feel of love and loss, and the elation of triumph over challenges and adversity. It is through these opposites that we experience life itself, and we can ride through the dark times with the understanding that it will help us to appreciate the light of life and love and spirit more fully. We are here now because we made the choice to experience an earth life, so now we can choose to enjoy the journey as completely as possible.

This kind of pretty nuch tells it like it is and, what it;s all about. Hope YOU enjoyed the read and gathered something from this.

Your Life Is Your Choices,

YES, Can YOU Say It?


Making The Decision
Saying Yes To The Universe

The hardest thing about saying yes to the universe is that it means accepting everything life puts in front of us. Most of us have a habit of going through our days saying no to the things we don’t like and yes to the things we do, and yet, everything we encounter is our life. We may be afraid that if we say yes to the things we don’t like, we will be stuck with them forever, but really, it is only through acknowledging the existence of what’s not working for us that we can begin the process of change. So saying yes doesn’t mean indiscriminately accepting things that don’t work for us. It means conversing with the universe, and starting the conversation with a very powerful word—yes.

When we say yes to the universe, we enter into a state of trust that whatever our situation is, we can work with it. We express confidence in ourselves, and the universe, and we also express a willingness to learn from whatever comes our way, rather than running and hiding when we don’t like what we see. The question we might ask ourselves is what it will take for us to get to the point of saying yes. For some of us, it takes coming up against something we can’t ignore, escape, or deny, and so we are left no choice but to say yes. For others, it just seems a natural progression of events that leads us to making the decision to say yes to life.

The first step to saying yes is realizing that in the end it is so much easier than the alternative. Once we understand this, we can begin examining the moments when we resist what is happening, and experiment with occasionally saying yes instead. It might be scary at first, and even painful at times, but if we continue to say yes to every moment through the process, we will discover the joy of being in a positive conversation with a force much bigger than ourselves.

This thought and expression kind of ties in with the "go with the flow" post I put up a couple of postings back. YOU have to be able to use "yes" in order to appreciate and live to the fullest.

Acknowledge it with "YES",

Thank you

Thankyou

This article is one of my favorites~
wish I could have been in attendance to hear
his actual words~
Excellent read
Spoken at manataka American Indian Council

STANDING BEAR SPEAKS
Given on the sacred Manataka Mountain on January 1, 2000



We are Standing Bear and who will speak to you
about things important to our people
American Native Peoples of today
are not the people they were one hundred or more years ago
We have changed
Why we changed is history
What we are becoming is far more important

The Past is Past
Once, we were a proud,
fiercely independent and deeply spiritual people
We still maintain those noble traits,
but the largest number of our kind
have blended with the masses
to become a part of modern American culture
which is neither Indian, white, black or Asian,
but uniquely American

Five hundred years ago the first European invaders
began attempts to exterminate our people
They brought disease, famine, slavery and euthanasia
They systematically plundered Turtle Island's resources
and drove our people to the edge of the prairie,
deep into the deserts and dumped our remnants
in ghettos across the country

They said our ancestors were ignorant,
yet they failed to hear our wise men
They said we were savages and pagans,
yet they did not know we worshiped the same God..

They took what was good from us
and left the rest to rot in the hot sun of greed and disrespect
They told us were sub-human and took away our dances,
our religion, our language and our ways of life
They killed us with slavery,
they killed us with forced famine
Finally, they killed us with bullets and cannonball..
Yes, all these terrible things and more
were committed against our ancestors
by a greedy government of the people and by the people
All this is history Today
The American Native is still subject to persecution
and discrimination by the United States federal government,
state governments and major institutions
We live in chaos, often fighting among ourselves
in a desperate struggle to survive
amid the cold realities of modern American society

Some say we live in the age of the hard,
cold winter as our culture dies of old age
Our great ancestors lived in youthful innocence
of springtime when the land was fresh

Their children grew in number and strength
during the age of the warm summer sun
The fall harvest was stolen by invaders
Our people stumbled and fell like leaves to the ground
Are we dying?
What can we do about the future of our people?

Many of our progressive, modern American Indian thinkers
believe the answers to these questions
is a complex series of social engineering programs,
laws, politics and money
They think like those who subjugate us

There is one answer that cuts to the heart of all these issues
and restores our inheritance,
our independence and our pride~
It is found in the rainbow - explained later



We are not the Natives of yesterday
We have changed
We cannot go back and duplicate the past
The old days of the Native Peoples
are in another dimension, another plane
Our heads can not be turned backwards
when we walk into the future least we fall over
what is in front of us
At best, we stand still and become relics ourselves

Keeping the ceremonies, stories,
dances and songs of past alive
through continual practice is vital to our survival
But what are we doing to create
our own ceremonies and stories
to be added to this rich heritage?
Do we jeopardize our children's legacy
and our own identity
by concentrating on the ways our ancestors lived
and how they thought?
How we think and live today
is important to our children's survival..

Why Do They Come?
Earth People have come into fashion
Today, thousands worldwide are drawn to our ways
It is somehow chic to dress Indian and know a shaman or two
People of all walks of life are seeking the Indian way,
to walk the Good Red Path..

Why?

We believe modern culture does not fulfill the deep emptiness inside
and people are desperately seeking spiritual answers
They believe the Original People
found the answers an eon before invaders
came to our Eden of the Turtle

They are drawn to our ways
partly because modern organized religions fail to give answers
They dominate humanity with layers and layers
of dogma and ideological mazes

In the words of Edmond Bordeaux Szekely,
"Unfortunately, the magnificent original intuitions
of the great masters often lose their vitality
as they pass down the generations
They are very often modified, distorted and turned into dogmas,
and all too frequently their values become petrified
in institutions and organized hierarchies
The pure intuitions are choked by the sands of time,
and eventually have to be dug out by seekers of Truth
able to penetrate into their essence.."

They place the human mind and spirit in a box..

"Believe as we do or you are damned" they say
Organized religions extend a hand holding love and peace
while the other is hidden
within a cloak of world domination, power and money
The great fortress of organized religions
have sent armadas against tribal peoples of the earth
to proselytize the ignorant masses ~
while they robbed, pillaged and raped our societies~
to feed themselves~
Most of the major atrocities and wars of this earth
were done in the name of organized religions~
And, they still call us pagan savages..

Organized religions will end soon..

Man is striving for higher consciousness, a higher truth ~
outside the box of dogma and controlled thinking..

Many who come to walk the Good Red Path
seek salvation from the hard realities of today's hectic,
unforgiving world gone mad..

They want out of the cage of their own illusions..
They battle with themselves inside,
trying desperately to break away
from religions that preach fear of the Creator, original sin,
'dominion' over the animals and the earth, hell and damnation~
because they realize fear is a tool of powerful institutions
to control the individual..

Enough of holy tyrants!!

Some who consciously seek
to understand and follow the Red Path
are attempting to break away from organized religion
and are sincere in their quest to find spirituality
Others are unconsciously answering an inner call
to find the way back from whence their ancestors once came..

Another transient and fashionable group of seekers
associate themselves with Indian ways
for the sake of appearance,
or government benefits, or money

There is a forth group among us..

They are Native Peoples who purify themselves by smudging,
or feel the power of the Sweat Lodge,
or seek the blessings of the Creator through visions
Yet, they are quick to express fear and distrust of those who do not
They draw lines to separate themselves from others
My side, their side, white, black, Jew, Christian, Moslem,
Wannabe Natives..
Small minds trapped in dogmatic
or so-called 'traditional' boxes

Who is an American Indian?
"Blood passed from generation to generation
makes one an American Indian," is the response of many
Nasgi (Not) we say
An American Indian is much more!
An Indian is a way of thinking, a way of belief and living

An American Indian realizes
the inner self and the interrelationship between oneself and creation~
- the Great Spirit - Creator,
Mother Earth and all forms and elements
that are a part of her magnificent dream..

It is about balance within oneself and balance within the circle of life..

An Indian feels great kinship and deep respect
for all things of creation
We see ourselves as one with all matter,
including animals, birds, fish, plants, stones,
the elements of wind, fire, water and even the stars ~
one no better than the other,
but all necessary parts of the circle.. Mans dominion over other parts of creation extends only so far as the Creator originally designed
Today, man thinks his dominion is all powerful
with complete ownership in his greedy grasp -
thus there is much disrespect and pollution of Creation
How can man be better than animals, plants, water
and other matter of things?
Unlike man, they are pure and without sin
What can be closer to the Creator than one without sin?
The salutation "Mitakuye Oyasin" (for all our relations)
is what we know in our hearts to be true -
Ka ki ke mina ka ki ke (forever an ever)

An American Natives dreams
We dream of being one
One with Mother Earth,
One with Grandmother Moon,
One with Grandfather Sun,
One with all the star people and people of Turtle Island,
but especially one with the Great Spirit - Creator..

As dreamers, we know the gifts we have
can only be shared, they cannot be taken
There is light and color in our dreams
that guide us through the misty darkness of man's reality
In our dreams we search for a higher plane of spirituality
We delve into the darkness, without fear, without doubt,
knowing the Light will show us truth

An American Native is not harsh with words
and is gentle with children and those less fortunate..

We show respect for our elders and ancestors..

As we honor our ancestors, they honor our children's children..

An Indian lives by a code of conduct..

The commandments given to the Indian by the Creator
transcend organized religious beliefs in depth and breadth..
A common trait among good Native Peoples
is a giving spirit
One who travels the Good Red Path
knows nothing in this world truly belongs to him or her
We only possess things temporarily~
Possessions are on loan from the Creator
and a product of our labors
This knowledge of giving and sharing
extends even to the land we lived on
We know a person is not really wealthy
until his/her most prized possessions
are 'gifted' to another

A Native speaks to the animals~
A Native speaks and hears the water sing~
A Native hears the trees whisper..

He is in touch with creation to the depths of his spiritual self
The Native American is a powerful being!

Is an American Native only one who can point directly
to full blood ancestry?
Is a mixed blood who wears Native regalia Native American?
Or, can anyone be Native?
All or none, it makes no difference
We are human
As my brother Lakota Woableza teaches,
we are the "five fingered race..
"Second Message of Manataka
What is it that can be said
that you have not been told already?

Have you not been told to love one another?
Were you told to have no other gods
except the Creator and honor your father and mother?
Were you told to keep Mother Earth
and all things on her sacred?

Our ancient prophesies say a time will come
when the blue sky and waters turn black
and green things turn brown and die..

Animals and fish will disappear and birds will drop from the sky
This devastation will come as a result
of man's greed and disrespect for Mother Earth

A new universe is now flying through the cosmos
about to enter the earth's heavens
We can barely see its enormous beak of the Aquarian bird
as the stars and planets move to align themselves to the Awakening..

The time is not far off (2007 - 2013)
when great cataclysmic changes will begin to occur on Earth..

Only a few will withstand these extreme alterations
and there will be a shift in mass consciousness..

The polarity of man's universe will change..

Great institutions, political divisions and economic systems
will crumble, chaos will reign for a time.. Among the few who possess inner strength to resist the mass unconsciousness
will rise a new neo-indigenous people
Prophesies foretell of a people
who will rise from earth's ashes
like the thunderbird symbolizing rebirth~

They will bring balance and harmony back to Mother Earth
The first of these beings
will come as teachers and storytellers
to remind us of ancient truths
of the star people and beyond
They will be pathfinders
leading the way to a new universe, a new reality

Great leaders, Warriors and Shamans of many nations
will be born and they will cleanse the earth for rebirth..

Next will come the Planters
sowing seeds of truth, justice and freedom
The Storytellers, Warriors and Planters
will live in the way of the Great Spirit
and teach ways to keep Mother of the Ground sacred
forevermore

They will be called Rainbow Warriors
(Prophesies of the Rainbow)
for they will gather the four sacred directions,
all distinctly separate but forever connected
in the Circle of Life
They will bring together the four races of man to live in peace
The four sacred directions and the four races of man
are symbolized by the magnificence and glory of the rainbow
The neo-indigenous people of the Rainbow
will give praise for the blessings of the Creator's loving grace

Manataka is home of the Rainbow Woman
who sleeps deep within the sacred mountain in the Place of Peace
During the Awakening, she will emerge once more
to give rebirth to this new tribe of people
who will sing and dance praises to the Great Spirit -
Creator under the rainbow..

Warriors of the Rainbow will be pathfinders of the principals of life~
And they will teach the people
how to achieve unity, understanding and love

The Crystal Cave and Six Sisters

Spiritual elders also brought gifts
from their tribes to Manataka
Some gifts were intended to establish friendships
and diplomacy between various tribes
and others were personal gifts between long-time friends
Trade items were also exchanged on blankets
spread out in dozens of camps just outside the sacred valley
Other, more precious gifts brought to Manataka
were not intended for humans,
but were ceremonial offerings for the sacred mountain

It is said by the grandfathers
that seven holy caves were on the sacred mountain..

The center cave is made of magnificent shining crystals~
encoded with messages of the star people..

Inside the crystal cave are seven crystal cones
set on a crystal altar and each contain secret messages
and seven shields..Ancient tribes came to Manataka on pilgrimages
to place ceremonial items in five of the caves
The people of the south laid gifts
in the southern-most cave
and people of the north laid their gifts
in the northern-most cave..

Two other caves were used by the people
from the west and east for offering ceremonies..

The cave located to the left of the crystal cave
was used by the 'Keepers of Manataka',
the Tula Indians of Tanico,
who lived in surrounding areas
and for other tribes living nearby such as the
Caddo, Quapaw, Osage, Tunica, and Pawnee..

To the right of the center crystal cave
was a ceremonial cave reserved for gifts
of the other people of this land ~
the animals, birds, fish, insects, plants, stones and the elements..

No one ever approached the most sacred crystal cave,
as it was said to have been the work place of the star people
(angels?) and resting place of many spirits..The Awakening will bring forth the Rainbow Woman who will show the Warriors the path to the Crystal Cave..

The messages of the ancients
will be decoded using the seven keys
and revealed to the Warriors by the Creator
and each one will be gifted with powers
to commune on many planes of existence..The sacred Circle of Life
turns slowly but inevitably back
to the place where it began
Thus, we say 'all things that were, will be again..'

As each age passes, it cannot be reclaimed
We cannot go back in time..

If we were to look from above at the Circle of Life
it would appear as a gigantic spiral..

Each age, or revolution of the Circle moves the next Circle
to a plane in perfect concentric alignment with the last,
but on higher level in the spiral
Those souls who walk the path
to higher awareness, consciousness and spirituality
move with the spiral to the next plane
Those who do not, do not

Now is the time we begin to prepare ourselves
to become inheritors of Mother Earth,
to become Warriors of the Rainbow -
for the sake of our children's children and all humanity
The road of the future is not red
It is a rainbow leading to the Creators grace
by way of prayer, good works, faith and keeping the ancient traditions

We must first unshackle ourselves from materialism
and organized religious dogma and personal prejudice
There is nothing more important
than becoming free in mind, body and soul
from modern confusion in order to reach
a higher plane of spirituality
Our very survival depends on it..

To see the Light of the Rainbow we must quite our minds
and feel inner peace and strength that flows as a river,
one with nature and all creation

To be chosen to walk the path to Light
is not a decision made by some religious leader,
a government agency or politician..

It is a personal choice made by a mind and heart
made free of religious guilt
and idols of modern materialism
It is a decision made between you and the Creator

Now is the Time

Go to a quite place on the mountain, river, or in the forest
- The church of the Great Spirit
Strip your mind and body of all worldly things..

Listen to nature, listen to your inner self..

Purify yourself and talk to the Creator
Give thanks for all the blessing of life and all creation
Give yourself completely to this pilgrimage
Maybe, just maybe the Creator will speak to you,
show you a vision, and lead you closer to the Light

The time will come soon when you will be needed
Manataka, the Place of Peace
will be one of the Great Gathering places
of those who seek the Light of the Rainbow
There, we will learn to walk the path
and receive joyful the blessings of the Great Spirits and Creator
We will feel joy and peace of a world without rancor and division
One with each other, one with creation and one with the Creator©"Standing Bear Speaks", Story of Manataka by Lee Standing Bear Moore, all rights reserved, 2006..

been busy with life~ and doing some Soul Searching~
Have a wonderful day~ love and blessings ~ Redfoxsees
Namaste..

Albert Einstein, God And The Bible


Einstein Letter Sells for $404,000

LONDON (May 16) - A letter in which Albert Einstein dismissed the idea of God as the product of human weakness and the Bible as "pretty childish" has sold at auction for more than $400,000.

Bloomsbury Auctions said Friday that the handwritten letter sold to an overseas collector after frenetic bidding late Thursday in London. The sale price of $404,000, including the buyer's premium, was more than 25 times the pre-sale estimate.

Bloomsbury did not identify the buyer, but managing director Rupert Powell said it was someone with "a passion for theoretical physics and all that that entails."

"This extraordinary letter seemed to strike a chord, and it gave a deep personal insight one of the greatest minds of the 20th century," Powell said.

The letter was written to philosopher Eric Gutkind in January 1954, a year before Einstein's death. In it, the Einstein said that "the word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish."

Einstein experts say the letter supports the argument that the physicist held complex, agnostic views on religion. He rejected organized faith but often spoke of a spiritual force at work in the universe.

Einstein's most famous legacy is the special theory of relativity, which makes the point that a large amount of energy could be released from a tiny amount of matter.

The theory changed the face of physics, allowing scientists to make predictions about space and paving the way for nuclear power and the atomic bomb.

Looks like Einstein was smarter than alot of us thought. I, for one, realize that I have more in common with Einstein than I thought. Especially on the religion, bible, and spiritual force fronts. Thanks to the forces that be for letting the contents of this letter out to the world. Nice to gather incites from others sometime.

Life's Work & Well Being Connected


Feeling Our Life
Finding Our Life’s Work

Sometimes it takes us the better part of a lifetime to discover our life’s work, even though we may have been doing it our whole lives without necessarily realizing it. Our life’s work is not always what we do to make money, although we often think it should be, and sometimes this way of thinking prevents us from seeing clearly what it is. It may be the work of having children, caring for them, and running a household. The way we know our life’s work is by how we feel when we are doing it.

When we are doing our life’s work, we feel an uncanny sense of ease and alignment. This doesn’t mean that the work is always easy, and it doesn’t mean that it’s the only work we have to do; it just means that there is a conviction deep inside us that tells us we are in tune with our innermost self. When we are engaged in our life’s work, our bodies feel more alive, because our energy is devoted to a cause that, in turn, feeds us. We may be tired after engaging in our life’s work, but we are almost never depleted. We feel grounded in the world, knowing that we belong here and have something important to offer.

When we are deeply unhappy, depressed, or subject to one illness after another, this may be due to a sense of disconnection from our life’s work. At times like these, finding the work we are meant to do is an essential act of healing. Most of us remember a time when we felt fully engaged in some act of work, service or creativity, and it is here that we may rediscover the work we are meant to do now. On the other hand, it may be time to explore what inspires us through volunteering, taking a class, going back to school, or just doing whatever it is we long to try. We all have callings, and when we find them, we owe it to ourselves to nurture and protect them, because while they may or may not be our livelihood, they are the keys to our wellbeing.

This really hits home for alot of people. So many souls do not find this peace and well being because they are too busy going against the flow. They are ignoring their inner higher selves. It is not that hard finding your life's work if YOU just get intouch with YOU. Anything that is going to make YOU feel better and enforce your well being is worth finding.

Well Being & Feeling Good Rules,

Dealing With Fellow Humans


In The World And In Ourselves
Feeling Fed Up With Humanity

From time to time, we may all feel fed up with humanity, whether it's from learning about what's going on around the world, or what’s going on next door. There are always situations that leave us feeling as if people are simply not capable of behaving in a way that is coming from a place of awareness. Often it seems as if people are actually geared to handle things in the worst possible way, repeatedly. At the same time, none of us wants to linger in a judgmental mood about our own species. As a result, we might tend to repress the feelings coming up as we take in the news from the world and the neighborhood.

It is natural to feel let down and disappointed when we see our fellow humans behaving in ways that are greedy, selfish, violent, or uncaring, but there are also ways to process that disappointment without sinking into despondency. As with any emotional response, we honor our feelings by feeling them fully, without judging or acting on them. Once we've done that—and we may need to do it every day, as part of our daily self-care—we can begin to consider ways that we might help the situation in which humanity finds itself.

As always, we start with ourselves, utilizing our awareness of the failings of others to renew our own commitment to be more conscious human beings. We are all capable of the best and the worst that humanity has to offer, and remembering this keeps us in check, as well as allowing us to find compassion for others. We may find ourselves feeling compelled to serve people who are suffering injustices at the hands of other people, or we may begin to speak out when we see something that we don’t think is right. Whatever the case, the only thing we can do is pledge to serve the best, rather than the worst, of what humanity has to offer, both in the world, and in ourselves.

In these times, with all that is going on in the world with wars, terrorism, oil crunch, food shortages, volcanos, earthquakes, cyclones & religious conflicts, this is a timely thought. Hopefully, it will aid YOU in your daily encounters with your fellow souls.

Peace & Understanding,

Angels Listen In


Graceful Guidance
Working With Angels

At some point in our lives, we are likely to find ourselves asking for help, perhaps from no one in particular, and without knowing where help could possibly come from. We may have raised our eyes skyward or whispered our need under our breath only to find that somehow we were heard, and the help we needed arrived. It might have come in the form of a person who appeared at the right time, or perhaps it came in the form of luck, chance, or divine intervention. However assistance appears, these are times when we can be sure that there are angels watching over us.

We may find ourselves asking for their help with simple things—like finding a parking spot or to watch over loved ones—but then we forgot to call on them when we found ourselves alone or in pain. We don’t need to be aware of them to receive their assistance, but there is comfort in the knowledge that they are there for us when we need them. And when we remain open to their presence, we can call on them whenever we need them to connect and be nurtured by their ethereal and heavenly energy.

As symbols of grace and gentle encouragement, they can offer us comfort as they enfold us in their wings or lift our spirit as they take flight. We may be warmed by their glow, guided by their gentle nudges or inspired by their whispers in our ears. We may hear the name of our angel and feel a personal connection, but it isn’t necessary. All they need is to be heard, to see us benefit from their guidance and perhaps to hear a word of thanks sent their way every now and then. Whether they appear in the guise of a helpful stranger, or as a thought that suddenly occurs to us, angels are our loving guides from the spiritual realm, who with a brush of their angelic wings help us to make the most of our human experience by balancing it with the spiritual awareness that all things are possible and that we are not alone.

If YOU open up, YOU might be surprised at the help and guidance YOU will get. Try it and acknowledge what so many souls have already found out.

Listen To Your Guides/Angels,

Your Inner Voice, Your Power


Repressing The Inner Voice
Giving Away Power

In many ways, we are taught from the time we are children to give away our power to others. When we were told to kiss and hug relatives or friends of the family when we didn’t want to, for example, we were learning to override our inner sense of knowing and our right to determine for ourselves what we want to do. This repression continued, most likely, in many experiences at school and in situations at work. At this point, we may not even know how to hold on to our power, because giving it away is so automatic and ingrained.

To some degree, giving our energy to other people is simply part of the social contract, and we feel that we have to do it in order to survive. It is possible to exchange energy in a way that preserves our inner integrity and stability. This begins in a small way: by listening to the voice that continues to let us know what we want, no matter how many times we override its messages.

Other examples of how we give away our power are buying into trends, letting other people always make decisions for us, not voting, and not voicing an opinion when an inappropriate joke is made. But with not giving our power away we must also be aware of the opposite side, which is standing in our power but being aggressive. Being aggressive is a form of fear, and the remedy is to let our inner balance come back into play.

As we build a relationship with our power, and follow it, we begin to see that we don’t always have to do what we’re being asked to do by others, and we don’t have to jump on every trend. All we have to do is have the confidence to listen to our own voice and let it guide us as we make our own decisions in life and remember the necessity for balance.

Enough said, "it is ALL about being balanced and centered and listening to our own inner voice and higher self". Practice this and enjoy YOU more fully.

YOU & YOU,

Can't Judge A Soul By The Shell, Look Inside


The Gift Inside
Life Packaging

We have all had the experience of encountering someone whose life seems so completely different from ours that we can almost imagine we have nothing in common. However, if we go deeper into observing, we will see that we all have the same things going on in our lives. It is as if our different lives are in essence the same gift, wrapped in an infinite variety of containers, wrapping paper, ribbons, and bows. Everybody experiences loss, grief, happiness, excitement, anger, and fear. Everyone can have money issues of one kind or another, and everyone struggles with difficult choices.

Our lives show up differently for each one of us because we each learn in different ways. One person may need to learn the value of money by having too little of it, while another may need to learn by having more than enough. We each learn about work and love, with experiences that are tailored to our particular perspective. Even as it appears that some people have it easy while others are in a continual state of struggle, the truth is that we are all learning, and it is very difficult to tell, when looking only at the exterior of a person, what’s going on inside.

This is one of the many things that can be so valuable about cultivating relationships with people from all walks of life. As we get to know those who seem so different from us, we get to really see how much of life’s challenges and joys are universal. We begin to look beyond the packaging of skin color, clothing preferences, and socioeconomic differences, hairstyles, and the cars we drive to the heart of the human experience. It is important to honor and value the differences in our packaging, but it is just as important to honor the gift of life inside each one of us, and the fact that, no matter how different the packaging, the gift inside is the same.

This is so very true. Like the old saying, "YOU can't judge a book by the cover". Next time YOU encounter someone new, look pass the shell and see the interior.

"Appearances are perceptual,
The inner soul just is..."

Meditation, Prayer & YOU


Asking And Receiving
Prayer And Meditation

Prayer and meditation are similar practices in that they both offer us a connection to the divine, but they also differ from one another in significant ways. Put simply, prayer is when we ask the universe for something, and meditation is when we listen. When we pray, we use language to express our innermost thoughts and feelings to a higher power. Sometimes, we plumb the depths within ourselves and allow whatever comes to the surface to flow out in our prayer. At other times, we pray words that were written by someone else but that express what we want to say. Prayer is reaching out to the universe with questions, pleas for help, gratitude, and praise.

Meditation, on the other hand, has a silent quality that honors the art of receptivity. When we meditate, we cease movement and allow the activity of our minds and hearts to go on without us in a sense. Eventually, we fall into a deep silence, a place that underlies all the noise and fray of daily human existence. In this place, it becomes possible for us to hear the universe as it speaks for itself, responds to our questions, or sits with us in its silent way.

Both prayer and meditation are indispensable tools for navigating our relationship with the universe and with ourselves. They are also natural complements to one another, and one makes way for the other just as the crest of a wave gives way to its hollow. If we tend to do only one or the other, prayer or meditation, we may find that we are out of balance, and we might benefit from exploring the missing form of communication. There are times when we need to reach out and express ourselves, fully exorcising our insides, and times when we are empty, ready to rest in quiet receiving. When we allow ourselves to do both, we begin to have a true conversation with the universe.

For me personally, meditation is the ultimate connect with the universe, the Earth and, myself. Whatever works best for YOU is what YOU need to follow to make YOU happy and complete.

Elevate & Meditate,

Consciously Creating Your Day


Conscious Creation
The First Moments Of The Day

The moment during the day when we very first open our eyes and come into consciousness is a precious opportunity. It sets the tone for all that comes after it, like the opening scene in a film or novel. At this moment, our ability to create the day is at its most powerful, and we can offer ourselves fully to the creative process by filling this moment with whatever inspires us most. It may be that we want to be more generous, or it may be that we want to be more open to beauty in our daily lives. Whatever the case, if we bring this vision into our minds at this very fertile moment, we empower it to be the guiding principle of our day.

Sometimes we wake up with a mood already seemingly in place, and it’s important to give this feeling its due. It can inform us and deepen our awareness to what’s going on inside us, as well as around us. As long as we are conscious, we can honor this feeling and also introduce our new affirmation or vision, our conscious offering to the day. We may want to decide before we go to sleep what we want to bring to the next day of our lives. It could be that we simply want to be more open to whatever comes our way. Or we may want to summon a particular quality such as confidence. Then again, we may simply call up a feeling that perfectly captures the texture we want our day to have.

We can reaffirm our vision or affirmation as we shower and eat breakfast, as well as recalling it at various times throughout the day. We can write it down and carry it with us on a little slip of paper if this helps. Simply by being aware of those first moments, we set the stage for a more conscious, enlivened experience, and we become active participants in the creation of our lives.

This is so cool because, it defines a great way to set up each day and maybe make it more productive and inspiring.

Enjoy The Ride, Go With The Flow


Let Yourself Be Carried
The Flow of the Universe

The flow of the universe moves through everything. It is in the rocks that form, get pounded into dust, and are blown away. It is in the blossoming of a flower born from a seed planted in the spring. The growth cycle that every human being goes through is part of this natural flow, which is also the current that takes us down life’s paths. When we move with it rather than resisting it, we are riding on the universal wave that allows us to flow with life.

Many people live struggling against this current. They try to use force or resistance to will their lives into happening in the way they think it should. Others move with it like a sailor using the wind, trusting that the universe is taking them exactly where they need to be at all times. This flow is accessible to everyone because it travels through and around us. We are always riding it—it is just a matter of whether we are willing to go with it or we resist it. Choosing to go with the flow is often a matter of relinquishing the notion that we need to be in control at all times.

The flow is always transporting you where you need to go. It is merely a question of deciding whether you plan on accepting the ride or having it take you there with your feet dragging. Learning to step into it can help you feel a connection to a force that is greater than you and is always there to support you. The decision to go with the flow takes courage because you are surrendering the belief that you need to do everything by yourself. Riding the flow of the universe can be effortless, exhilarating, and unlike anything you ever expected. When you are receptive to being in it, you open yourself to possibilities that exist beyond the grasp of your control.

As a child, you were naturally swept by the flow. Tears of sadness falling down your face could just as quickly turn to tears of laughter. The mere tiniest wave carrying you forward off the shores of the ocean could transport you into peals of delight.

Our souls feel good when we go with the flow of the universe. All we have to do is make the choice to ride its currents.

This bit of wisdom is so on point. So many times our lives get all out of whack because we are constantly trying to change and alter the flow instead of just enjoying the ride. YOU may make a big difference in your life if YOU just "go with the flow"!

Take me away,

Why We Don't & Do Remember


The Gift Of This Journey
Why We Don’t Remember

Many of us wonder why we do not remember who we were before we were born. We wonder what it was like to be a soul without a body and what it will be like to be one again. Many of us have a strange sense that we do remember, as if we did experience a bodiless existence, but we can’t quite recall the details. We may remember feeling as if we were flying, or as if we were just incredibly light and unrestricted in our movements. Still, most of us do not recall anything in detail about the time before we incarnated into a human body.

There are many possible reasons for this deep forgetting, one of which is that remembering would probably impinge upon our ability to fully commit to this life. Experiencing life on earth without any memory of an alternative existence allows us to be here completely, and that is what is required in order for us to learn much of what we must learn here. Most of us are not meant to spend our time here preoccupied with concerns beyond the realm of this lifetime. Instead, it is our job to occupy our bodies and our planet with a fullness that would not be possible if we were constantly aware of another, and extremely different, realm of existence.

There is no doubt that life on earth is difficult in ways that life outside of a body is not. As we modulate our energy to move into a body, our consciousness changes, and this is a necessary change. Forgetting other levels of being protects us from a confused and divided experience. Soon enough, we will be back where we started, so thinking too much about it now is a bit like being on a fascinating journey and spending the whole time thinking about going home. It is more in alignment with our purpose here to be fully present in the gift of this journey, unreservedly offering our energy to the experience we are having right now.

Though many of us have NO recollection in detail of being in the "soul only" state of being, many of us do have some recollection of past incarnations and their surrounding events. Though these rememberances are usually not fully detailed, they do conjure up other times, places, events and multiple incarnations. However, as the article states, "this is not the time or place to be focused on other memories". This is the "here and now" time. However, if those rememberances were strong enough to come through to now, then they are worthy of some of your present time and thought.

Here, Now & Remembering,
