100 Day Walk With A Shaman

Remember the Roots

2012-03-04T16:48:00.000-08:00

Many people whochoose to embrace the spiritual life try to just aim for the Light and try toneglect the darkness that is also part of life. The higher that one goes inspiritual consciousness , the deeper they must descend into their subconscious anddevelop that within themselves as well.

People believe that wanting to work forthe Light, to be wise and fair and impartial is enough to create spiritual growth.Unfortunately that is not the case. Look at a tree; the higher the branchesreach, the deeper go the roots as well. It is a system of balance, of compensation-and you can’t have one without the other. Every person on a spiritual path mustbe careful to maintain a balance between the conscious and the subconscious.

This is what I teach people to do.

The Value of a Mentor

2012-02-29T16:51:00.000-08:00

The treasures gathered in dreams are useless, because dreams vanish in teh morning. The dreaming of cakes will not satisfy hunger or keep a starving man alive. If you practice incorrectly you are only building empty wishes on illusion.

A teacher is essential to learning anything.

"Not knowing what a Master can represent for them, some disciples do not know how to behave towards him. So they prevent him from being as useful to them as he could be and would like to be, thus hindering their own development. It is up to the disciple to discover how to relate to the Master, how to regard him and behave towards him. It is not for the Master to make recommendations on the matter.
A true Master merely gives his teaching and allows his disciples freedom. He will never say, ‘You must respect me, admire me, obey me…’ Never. Firstly, because there is no point: you can never really impose respect, admiration or obedience. Then, because the Master does not need those things: he has other sources of joy and satisfaction. It is up to the disciples, for their own evolution, to find the best way to be in relation to their Master, whether he is still on earth or in the next world."

Some students do not know how to behave with their teachers because they do not realize what that teacher can represent for them. In this way the student might prevent the teacher from being as useful as that teacher could be and would like to be. And in this way the student can hinder his or her own progress. It is up to the student to figure out how to relate to the teacher and how to behave. It is not up to the teacher to explain that relationship to the student.

Why?

A true teacher just offers the teachings and respects the free will of the student. A true teacher would never say, "you must respect me, honor me, obey me." The true teacher doesn't need these things anyway. The true teacher has other sources of joy and satisfaction. It is up to the student to find the best way to be in relationship with the teacher, for that student's own evolution in spiritual growth.

The five senses atrophy in those who lead an ordinary, mundane life. Those with a spiritual outlook, on the other hand, can sense the nuances and subtleties of beings and things. Not only are they not deprived of any joys, they actually increase the pleasures they are able to experience and heighten their quality.

Please see the encouragement that is always offered in every teaching I give. I mentor people who wish to learn Traditional Shamanism, the path I have been walking for almost 60 years now. To learn more go here www.shamanelder.com

How My Ancestors Practiced Shamanism

2012-02-25T12:20:00.000-08:00

Lets look at how my ancestors practiced Shamanism. In mytradition, in the ancient days, the Shaman was actually hired by a tribe. Hewas a free agent and could go from group to group as needed. He often workedwith many isolated groups of people within a 500 mile or more range geographically.They would send runners to fetch him when something was needed in the group. Hewould live with one group for months or years at a time. The tribes would payhim for his services by giving him food and shelter and clothes and other amenitiesand he would have as much as the chief of the group had because he was sovaluable to that group as doctor, priest, counselor, weatherman, midwife, surgeon,forecaster, peacekeeper and so much more. But if he did not produce… If hecould not do what he promised, (“ it is what you do that defines you”; fourthtruth in traditional shamanism) they would throw him out with nothing, not evenhis clothes! And odds were that the next group were not going to take in a frozenstarving shaman either!

This prevented just anybody from saying that they were a shaman.In fact, people were afraid to even think of pretending to be a shaman because ifthey could not do what they said, they were likely to die or be killed. The veryfact that my Shaman grandmother was able to teach me the ways of my ancestors shouldprove to you that my ancestors were very powerful Shamans!

Today, lots of people call themselves shamans because there isno consequence to lying. In fact, more than 70% of the earth’s population now believeit is ok to lie to anyone about anything at anytime. So people pay “wanna be”shamans who can do nothing and only talk a big talk, lie. I wish we could go back to the old ways of “dowhat you say you do”. When we can all live up to that truth and do what we defineourselves to be, the world will be a better, more honest place.

Fiery signs that cannot be spoken, have you seen them yet?

2012-02-20T14:55:00.000-08:00

People have long sharpened their wills,

but not attained the level of consciousness that gives the will full authority to act.

In my teachings, fiery signs embodying things that can not be spoken in words, but can only be felt, will flash out for you.

This is a great treasure!

As we come to the edge of the battlefield and begin to hear the drums of the enemy marching ever towards us - the time to play with entertaining toys is done, and people run to the nearest master to learn how to wield a sword and shield to save their own lives. Now is the time to learn. Here is the place. Let me teach you. www.shamanelder.com

What Are You Thinking?

2012-02-15T17:20:00.000-08:00

Awareness and deliberate Intention.

Are you aware of whatyou are thinking? Are you aware that your thoughts are creating things in yourlives and in the lives of other people? Are you are that your thoughts are likearrows of energy that fly out into the universe on an elliptical pattern andcome back around flying through the lives of so many millions of people beforethat arrow comes back to hit your life? Some arrows have elliptical orbits thatlast for years. Some have orbits that only take seconds but they all come backto affect you directly. A simple thought of displeasure creates myriads ofother thoughts of displeasure. A thought of kindness creates a myriad of otherthoughts of kindness. Are you aware of what you are putting out into to the worldto affect you and others?

How deliberately then should you be choosing your everythought? Perhaps it’s time to understand that you think too much! I teach youto become an observer. That is the best use of your mind. To take ininformation and learn what you can learn, to perceive the Essence of Creator herewhich is what you came here to do; not to think, not to create danger andillness with your errant thoughts. Thoughts are not the big wonders of your life.Sure, you were taught that thinking is important and for the ordinary man whojudges himself by what he can create I suspect creating thoughts is a majorpast time for that person. But now that you realize that all his or herthoughts are also affecting your life and your reality and the world at largeand Mother Earth and the whole universe, you might now wish that people wouldthink less. Isn’t this why the Buddhists practice no thought meditation so verymuch? At least they are trying to not influence the universe in a negative way.

What do you intend? Are you aware of what you intend? You shouldbe at every moment! How many intentions do you have? Probably too many. What isan intention? It is a thought backed with emotion. Emotion is the power orenergy that propels the arrow of intention. It is your emotional feeling about thatthought that makes that though so powerful. Do you control your feelings? Or doyou let your feelings run your life? Is everything in your life about “how doesthis thought make me feel emotionally?” If this is how you run your life Iguarantee you that you are not happy. Let me show you another way to run yourlife as captain of your ship, as the authority figure for your own life in myShaman Apprenticeship 101 Course. Let meshow you how my ancestors ran their lives and become powerful and effectivehealers able to do miracles.

Those Who Don't Walk Get Eaten.

2012-02-10T16:17:00.000-08:00

What kinds of goals do people have today? Perhaps to have a family or a career or a car and house with all the modern conveniences. For a lot of people, that is enough. They say they are satisfied with this mediocre existence. They don't enhance their lives with anything other than physical pleasures, with anything more essential, more powerful. They simply stagnate.

When will people realize the dangers that they put themselves in with they live their lives unaware of what else is here beyond just the physical? There are all kinds of physical and psychological dangers lying in wait, looking for ways to sneak in and bite into people and eat away at them. Have you ever felt there were other things beyond the physical threatening your life? I bet you have! And what have you done to learn about those dangers?

How sad that people do not realize that here is a whole other 95% here that cannot be perceived with one's outer senses but that very much does effect therm physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. This is what I teach you about in the course I offer as I learned it from my own Shaman teachers in my own family. Do not let yourself be put to sleep and chloroformed by petty entertainments. The time is coming when the need to survive and negotiate through the dangers will be more important to you than a house or car. Will you be ready for that?

How a Student Describes Shaman Elder Maggie

2012-01-31T14:06:00.000-08:00

"When a human being, by dint of hard work, self-denial and sacrifices, has become completely free, with no more karmic debts to pay, they are no longer subject to the law of reincarnation. From then on, the heavenly regions are their dwelling place, where they live in bliss and light.
But among those beings who have found freedom, a few decide to come back to earth to help their human brothers and sisters, whom they see suffering. Once we have lived on earth, we cannot completely erase the memory of the experiences we have had and sever our connection with it. So, some beings, although they are free and experiencing the joys of infinity and eternity, feel the need to cast a glance at those poor humans among whom they once lived and to whom they still feel connected despite the great distance between them. After hundreds, even thousands, of years, they still remember, and in the greatness and fullness of their heart they decide to come back down to share in their hardships and help them. This is Shaman Elder Maggie" - OMAA

How to create with energy

2012-01-30T16:33:00.000-08:00

The Traditional Shaman is aware of where the spark of creation islocated. The Shaman is cognizant of the need for phi ratio in all things thatwould be created or sustained. The Shaman knows how to co-create within thecenter of the void a new thought form, a new energy form that will travelforever in the Golden Mean Spiral and as its vibratory frequencies graduallybecome slower and slower it travels down through the atmic, buddhic, causalplanes until its vibrations are slow enough to be manifested on the physicalplane. The Shaman works within the Golden Mean Spiral, works with vibratoryenergies of emotions, thoughts forms, that can produce health or illness, fameor obscurity, abundance or lack, happiness or despair. Not all Shamans explainwhat they do in this exact way but I thought it would be within my ownknowledge base and experience to give the scientific explanation of the healingthat a Shaman does and symbols have reflected this knowledge of the Shamanthrough time.

TheShaman by observing the fundamental laws of the universe has discovered thesecrets of universal harmony and in that knowledge he or she is a healer of themost extraordinary kind.

Anguish

2012-01-29T07:41:00.000-08:00

Whoever has heard the music of the spheres as I have, even one time, will understand the earthly imperfections caused by the present conditions of humanity. As you become more and more aware of the differences between the spiritual Beauty of the Cosmos and the conditions of earthly reality, you may experience attacks of anguish which are unavoidable. Fight consciously against these attacks. Become a a warrior first within yourself. This is what I teach at www.shamanelder.com.

I really want to give you the knwoledge to live this life in power and deliberate intention. I choose to give my life in service to you , to teach you the ancient ways of my own family lineage that have never been written down before today. The old ways were based on truth and it is this truth I offer you in my online course.

Whre there is fear, self pity, conceit, passitivity, avoidance of duty, lack of generosity, irresponsibility- there you find a false spirituality. Beware of those teachers who possess these characteristics. Beware of soothsayers and mediums and fortune tellers who display these qualities. Please, please protect yourself at least.

Those who venture into the astral world without an understanding of spiritual ascent must know how responsible they are for the polluting of energetic space. Please be careful! It is not only you in danger here but your children and your children's children as well.
Many of the hereditary diseases are caused by this same pollution. Look at the amount of hereditary diseases found in the families of psychics, mediums and fortune tellers. Let that be your proof of how they are affected by the pollution they create.

The Power of Thought

2012-01-28T13:59:00.000-08:00

I teach people how to control their energy so as not to obstruct their paths with thought projections from past days. Do you realize that even an accidental thought can disturb your ability to achieve your desires for months or years? How many accidental and uniftting thoughts have you created in your life? Do you see the relationship between negative thoughts and the negativity in your reality? Do you see that you probably caused yourself to wind up where you are today? You did this either by positive controlled thinking to be super rich and happy or by negative thoughts to be depressed, stressed and victimized.

Yes the power of your thoughts really is THAT POWERFUL!

Every action you do is an indestructible acquisition ( it is in your reality forever after).

Knowing this – are you sure you want to make the choice to do that action?

I offer my students practices to not only rid themselves of the effects of past negative thoughts but to create a super happy today for themselves!

Coercion by Outside Sources

2012-01-26T17:41:00.000-08:00

The definition of insanity is continuing to hold on to a belief that does not benefit you at all.

Look at your beliefs!

Make a list of what you believe and why you choose to believe that.

See what it is that is causing you to suffer.

It is your own non benfitting beliefs that are causign you to suffer and struggle. I can help you through this process if you want. Just email me.

I find that so many people want to tell us what we should do

and in the end- they lead us wrong.

Or people try to force me to make the choices that they would make

and those choices do not actually work at all in my own life.

I would rather make 10 bad choices on my own than to let someone else steer me into a bad choice. Wouldn't you?

That is why I am here, offering you these online courses that teach you the real truth as our ancestors knew the truth, so that you can make your own choices standing in your own power.

It is information you need, not outside direction or worse- coercion.

Aho ( I speak my truth)

The Current you Are Not Using

2012-01-24T15:38:00.000-08:00

There is a current in this river of life, placed there by Creator and if we allow ourselves to find that flow and go with that flow all good things can be ours.

It is you and your thoughts who deny that current and try to fight with that current and that causes you pain and trouble.

Your thought, your ignorant blind belief, that Creator would not care for you enough to put that current into your life,

that is the thought that is causing you harm.

And the opposite of that is the thirst,

the striving,

the desire

to get yourself into that current.

I know you have felt this current of Creator’s at times in your life.

It is there and you know it.

So why don’t you pursue it?

You know what it feels like when you are in it.

Get to that place again and let that current carry you along into the future.

But you will not be able to observe it at all

if you are obsessively caught in

the web of your thoughts.

What Are You Doing With Your Energy?

2012-01-24T07:20:00.000-08:00

I have been thinking about how people walk around here not evenaware of what they doing with their energy. Some people just walk around completelynaked energetically somehow believing that nothing is out there to harm them.And then they find bill collectors and enemies coming from all directionsphysically and wonder why.

Some people believe that they are in control of everything intheir lives and then when they find that they are being assaulted by outsidesources because they have been manipulating everything around them, they aresurprised and shocked and irritated and angry.

Some people believe that they have no power and they go around makingthings happen around them without realizing their power and they wonder whythings are happening to them when they believe they have only hid in the mousehole all this time. They have been affecting the world from that mouse hole justas much as if they were out here with the rest of us!

The power that the human being wields is strong and dangerousfor sure.

To be alive here means that you are wielding this power, every timeyou make a choice, every time you have a thought every time you intendsomething. To do this and still believe that you are not affecting yourself , othersor the world is simply stupid.

I am watching a man who believes he can walk in this world like nothingat all would ever affect him personally. He thinks he is immune to the currentsof the world because he does not try to use his power deliberately. He thinkshe is a tourist here and that nothing will touch him because he has noconscious intentions other than to be a tourist. But to be a human being herealready means that you are wielding energy. And this man is seeing his marriagefail, his job suffer, his health is failing, his happiness is shot out the window.He still thinks he is not causing any of these things to happen. I have offeredhim the bubble of protection and he has refused it because he believes he isnot interacting with any energies.

Do you know people like this?

The Traditonal Shaman Warrior has no place for Irritation

2012-01-19T09:16:00.000-08:00

A Warning Against Irritation

From my guides:

"Irritation-discern its harm-not only personally but throughout the cosmos. This worm, hiding behind a smile and politeness, ceaselessly tunnels through your energy. Its harm undermines all your work. When like a blood clot, irritation closes the ear, can you then hear? When irriation clouds the eye, can you then see?When irritation falls like a theater curtain over your conscious awareness, no good can be performed. Fatigue and irritation make it impossible to be a good warrior for the Light.

If you feel irritation take another perspective immediately. think to yourself "Oh, how beautiful everything is!" Use the 180 practice I have taught you to eliminate the weight of irritation from your life altogether for your horse cannot carry you and also the weight of irritation. You will not even reach the battlefield as long as you are preoccupied with irritation. It is a tool used by the enemy to keep you hobbled and unable to join the battle. In fact your irritation can injure your fellow warriors standing at your side before the battle even begins. Do you see the harm that irritation causes?

But is a good warrior entertaining irritation as he sees the enemy troops advancing on a field of war where soon this warrior will offer his or her very life? Do you think that irritation over the poor fit of his armor or the gnawing hunger in his stomach is on the mind of this warrior? Then why do you entertain irritation when you are also standing on the edge of a great war that will soon enough pull you into its fray?

Whether you consider yourself preparing to be a hero for others in this war as I teach in my course, or you see yourself only as a lowly peasant residing in a little village myopically believing nothing is going on, this invasion of chaos will rip apart your peace and threaten your life. Can you afford irriation even as the enemy rides towards your home?

I teach Traditional Shamanism which is energetic warriorship. The time for studying warriorship is over once the war begins and either you will have learned how to defend yourself like a hero and shine the Light of Truth and Love so you can survive anything, or you will be defenseless against the chaos coming soon. Sign up today because the enemy is approaching fast. Http://www.shamanelder.com

What I Teach- The Path of Traditional Shamanism

2012-01-16T13:06:00.000-08:00

The path of traditional shamanism is not for those who simply wish to be psychic and channel spirits. The path of Traditional shamanism will blind those who value their egos, destroy those who are faint of heart, and taint the souls of those who learn these tools and skills for selfish gains. So know this, everyone who takes up a walk on this path will not ever be able to turn back. Once wisdom is unfolded it changes your life forever. Once you step on this path you either ascend or descend. Only a person who takes himself seriously can control himself. This course is only the beginning of a lifetime of work, some call The Great Work or Walking upon the Tao. This is the path of the adept, the student on his way to enlightenment. I am not out to mislead anyone into believing my way or my beliefs. I am teaching you in as easy a way as I can, things that I was taught by my teachers and my elders, thing have not been taught to anyone else on this planet, things handed down in secrecy only by word of mouth through twenty generations. Things so powerful that they can kill or raise from the dead. I teach you by setting up a specific shamanic experience for you and then you can decide to take this tool or skill and work hard to perfect it within yourself, or not. But beware that these tools and skills are powerful and dangerous and if you do not follow the instructions to the letter or try to twist or distort the tools and skills in any way they will back fire and cause a myriad of pain and confusion and hurt for you and others. So I ask you to be responsible as a student here and to follow the instructions and to do the practices exactly as they are laid out for you clearly in each lesson. Do not progress to the next lessons until we have mastered the previous one. None of these tools are meant to be practiced on your own. It is too easy to get yourself hurt if you just read and try the lesson without mentorship.

We are all shining stars, unique in ourselves. There is infinite space for all things to exists, it is only us, who need to see that which is here to see that you have not seen before.

All things come from the elements, be it in their purest state or combinations thereof. To my ancestors there are four elements, fire earth air and water. These four, make up all physically manifested creations. It is through coming to know them and seeing their essence as the very Essence of Creator, that we come to know and see their symbolic and archetypical formation of thought that empower us to use their virtues and abolish their vices within us. We are unique in that we have the ability and the will to use all created energies conceivable to man and as we evolve further and open up our minds and hearts more and more we will come to be opened up to even more energies. One of the many beliefs of my ancestors in regards to why more subtle energies are not readily available to the common person is that those energies would come to be abused, and in that, create an imbalance in the etheric planes which would unleash unforeseeable karmic repercussions. And I believe that is exactly what we are seeing in the world today.

One of the first veils laid over our minds is that of the flesh, which traps us into believing that we are only the flesh, only some chemicals mixing together creating all that we know as life. The veil is that we take this as the whole truth, and not just part of the truth. All that is needed to push past this veil is to push our conscious perspective just one more inch and in that inch we will start to see the other side of the stick, by honing our inner senses. It is true that it is not easy, in fact if it were easy, most would have already come to do it. Our present day society not only blocks us from this ability but even kills those who teach it.

But you can learn to walk this path even as you continue with your daily life. You can hold a 40 hour job and do the chores and raise the kids and walk the dogs and also walk this path transforming yourself into a better person, slowly starting to control your life, and then coming into control of your surroundings. You will start to relax, your time will be more yours for enjoyment, you will no longer be haunted by thoughts of work when you are not at work nor of home when you are not at home. You will find yourself more and more present to the now moment. You will find the light and joy in your job no matter what you do and you will leave behind the thoughts of those things you never did enjoy. You will become more conscious of yourself and breathe easier and feel that you have finally become captain of your ship. It will not be easy at first, to work and practice to gain mastery of these ancient tools and skills. Yet in doing these exercises and practices you will come to understand, and then believe from your own personal experience, that my ancestors have spoken of throughout the centuries.

You will come to stand in your power through the proper use of your will, you will burn with the fires any impurities that hold you down. Bu using your emotions you will dream the dreams, flying upon the astral waters of life. By your intellect, and your thoughts, you can soar higher than any bird, and with your strength and patience, you can be as the mountains, which stand the tests of time. By coming to know yourself on this path, you can do many things unbelievable to the common person, and in that I hope you will change the world for the better.

Divinity lies within you and it only takes a moment to realize this, and be enlightened. By building your foundations with the elements, by purifying yourself of non benefitting beliefs and ego centered action, and by planting the seeds of ancients truths as experienced by you in this course you will build that temple within you and while you work to transcend each plane you will eventually reach enlightenment. That if anything else, is what I desire for you. Anything less, is pointless.

At first it is hard to walk this path for in most cases we desire the outcome without having to actually work for it. There is also the problem of wanting to reach past our present levels trying to grasp the energies above us, without having conquered the ones we presently have. It is in not having mastered our present energies and learning who to work with them in a balanced way in our lives, that often times gets us in trouble. It is blind ignorance to step into something without at least having prepared for it. If our temples are built on sandy ground, a day will come when it will sink out from under us. Yet if we build our foundations upon rock, and abolish all rot within, there will never be a fear of it falling down around us. For no adversity, nor evil, can attach itself to something which has nothing for evil to grow from.

Too many students have failed to see their mistakes, until it was almost too late, and then in their despair they had to go through unneeded misery to correct mistakes, that otherwise could have been avoided. Your path has to be perfection , no less, yet so very much more. If you take this course seriously, and do the work honestly and work with your mentor daily, you are guaranteed that you will be glad you did. Know this, with the knowledge of the Self, comes the knowledge of the World. So we will question your beliefs, your traditions, your view points and analyze yourself because maybe those things you hold on to so dearly are not even applicable to your present state of being at all. You already know that it is truly hard to say who you are or what you should believe in, when everything is constantly changing. Experience everything but get attached to nothing.

This course is the simplest format I can create for you, in an otherwise complex and confusing work that has not been written down by anyone before. I have been faithful to the letter with the teachings of my Shaman Grandmother and her elders and our family lineage. Do not look for these teachings in any other work that is being taught today. Do not try to combine them with other teachings in any way. No one outside of our own family has had the privilege of learning this path till now. Stop searching for other examples in other teachings. And please know that I recognize myself as a servant, not a master of Humanity, while I am the master and not the servant of my own body. For although the student is to be humble in life, they need to be strong willed and ruthless upon their path, for there is no room for weaknesses , nor feebleness, on entering into this dojo, this school, this path. If at any time I find that you are not strong enough to hold up your shield and practice with your classmates I will pause your studies immediately. If you cannot keep up then you become a detriment to all. I am sure you can see this is true. You have an obligation here to study hard and master each lesson and work with your mentor very closely.

Each of us has a purpose. What that purpose is, only the Self can know. Sometimes it takes having to go through many trials in order that we might come to see our path, and in that, gaining strength to walk it. This is my path, hard, dry , scary, lonely but beautiful. I learned what it would take for me to become an adept, as well as what could happen if I were to stray from the Light. I tell you these things not so you will repeat them, but so that you might come to see what I have gone through. For it might give you comfort and guidance do always do the right thing.

“For no darkness nor sickness may enter unto one’s soul as long as the Light shines within thee. “

Now beware, for one of the hardest things in the way of this path is the rooting out of all non benefitting beliefs, thoughts emotions dreams and memories. There will be times of great loneliness and feelings of despair, always remember, to ground yourself in whatever way you can. For we are all in transition, when in learning how to hold still, those things that have always moved you into action will come to move away on their own. Analyze yourself, your thoughts and feelings and dreams. See what each thought or feeling is worth, come to know its roots. You might come to be disgusted by your thoughts over time, do not judge, just learn the roots of your thoughts and let them go. In time it will become easy and you will find that you can hold on to one thought for as long as you desire. From there you can move into no thought. Do you realize that you fool yourself into believing you have no control over your thoughts? That is a lie! And you are to become balanced in mind body and spirit. Then when you slowly come out of this pit that you have dug for yourself, you will come to see the flowers growing within. We are not born evil , bad, nor sick in the soul, for it is in our programming that we come to believe it is true. We are good loving beings; we only need to deprogram ourselves to realize it. We are who we are.

Without a strong healthy body the mind cannot be healthy and strong. You can tell how another is by the fruits of their labors. If someone is constantly sick or disturbed in some way, there is something inside that is likewise disturbed and sick. As within so without. If you have dis-ease in you, we must do the remedial work to remove that dis-ease so that you can train in this warriorship to hold up the Light of Creator in this world of darkness. Do you understand?

What Is Karma in Traditional Shamanism

2011-10-09T11:52:00.000-07:00

The Law of Karma

Traditional Shamans know that all of creation was created

from the very Breath of Creator. In the beginning was the

word. A spoken word , spoken with breath. Spoken with the

breath of Creator, the very Essence of Creator. So all

things are considered Divine in Essence and manifest into

physical form. All four elements are the very Essence of

Creator . So everything created from those four elements

of fire water air and earth are manifested forms of the

very Essence of Creator. So metal objects and trees and

chairs and buses and pencils are all created of the very

Essence of Creator. And The Essence of Creator is not

dead, it is not inert, it is not lifeless. Do you think

that Creator would use Creators’ own Essence to create

something and then leave it lying there dead? Not at all!

So everything created of the four elements which are the

breath of Creator are alive, living, sentient, thinking,

feeling , having a life experience of their own here with

us. And these sentient beings in their millions of

manifest forms become manifest because Creator wants to

give us a physical life experience to recognize Creator

more fully. So that we can recognize the Essence of

Creator in that chair, in that tree, in that stone, all

those manifest forms of the very Essence of Creator. And

these manifest forms around us that Creator created, are

here to nurture us and support us and protect us and

nourish us and even pleasure us! And they do so willingly

because they are happy to be manifesting the intention of

Creator for us! Isn’t it a shame that we cannot be happy

doing our mission here on earth as well as that stone is

or that tree is or that cow is? The reason we don’t is

because we have egos and that stone does not have an ego

separating it from Creator.

Earth Mother, with all her creatures and things is

considered sacred to the Traditional Shaman. With this

understanding you can see that it would be impossible to

live without interfacing and affecting other living

sentient beings around you. Every action, every word you

speak has some consequence on the entire universe.

Although it is impossible to live in this world without

affecting someone or something, the Traditional Shaman

walks this path while trying not to create unnecessary

infringements on the other Sentient beings that Creator

created and put here around us.

This is a universal law of non infringement. It says that

everything you do has a consequence. Some people call this

karma, everything you do produces good karma or bad karma

depending on whether your thought, word or act benefits

the sentient beings around you or infringes upon their own

free will and harms them. If you don’t take responsibility

for the consequences of your thoughts word and actions

then fate steps in and does it for you without any

kindness or love or feeling of any kind. Fate then takes

over and you are given back the results of your choices to

the same degree as you affected the world around you. Fate

will simply bring back to you what you sent out. And so it

is not God who punishes you , it is not bad luck that

causes your misfortune. It is not other people who cause

you to be angry or frustrated. It is the consequences of

what you have already put out into the world coming back

to you to the same degree that you have created yourself.

There is also a beautiful teaching in this idea that

divine retribution is the interaction between destiny,

fate and consequence and that is that every single thing

you do to improve yourself, to grow spiritually, to raise

yourself to a higher level of awareness and connection

with the Essence of Creator personally, also raises up the

entire universe to the same degree! So everything you do

to make yourself a better person also makes this world a

better place for all of us! And this is what a true healer

is. Someone who works on healing him or herself knowing

that every improvement he or she makes within oneself

helps to heal everyone else. If you want to call yourself

a healer, this is what to do. It’s not about healing

others. It’s about healing yourself as the universal law

says: as within, so without, as above, so below. The law

of karma.

Be a Lake

Be A Lake (Source Unknown)

The old Master instructed the unhappy young man to put a handful of salt in a glass of water and then to drink it.
"How does it taste?" the Masterasked.
"Awful," spat the apprentice

The Master chuckled and then asked the young man to take another handful of salt and put it in the lake.

The two walked in silence to the nearby lake
and when the apprentice swirled his handful of salt into the lake,
the old man said, "Now drink from the lake

As the water dripped down the young man's chin, the Master asked,
"How does it taste?"
"Good!" remarked the apprentice.
"Do you taste the salt?" asked the Master.
"No," said the young man.

The Master sat beside this troubled young man, took his hands, and said,

"The pain of life is pure salt; no more, no less.
The amount of pain in life remains the same, exactly the same.

But the amount we taste the 'pain'
depends on the container we put it into.

So when you are in pain, the
only thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of things .....

Stop being a glass.

Become a lake!
