shaman's thoughts

If one has a tendency to judge the people around her/him with preconceived notions which in most cases do not reflect the reality. Then what is the receiving person to do in order to keep the harmony? If the nature of a dog is to bark upon the sight of another animal or human, is the human any less of a human for having been at the receiving end of this barking actioin? Not to make light of our human interactions, but for the most part, the loud noises of judgements are nothing but the barkings of dogs in the streets.

Thank you Lord for this day, so full of your grace and abundance. Thank you for your touch, so gentle, so kind. Let me not forget this day my Love for you have awaken me again.

How is it that for most of us average folks the intruduction of money into our daily friendships and family ties seem to always create tension? It is as if we cannot mix family matters and money or loan a dollar amount to a close relative without attaching certain emotional expectations to it. The family or relative too seems to feel less than tenderness towards us once we have given him/her money to be helpful. Is it because we do attach these "look I am doing you a favour" to the money or because the person receiving the money is already feeling badly about themselves for having asked for the loan in the first place. All of these my child are manifestations of the Ego, because in and of itself money is only a matter of mathematics.

One more time for the sake of the old times. Let there be peace on this Earth and make me an instrument of this peace my Lord. All I ever wanted was to be that instrument through which healing springs forth and humility is abundant. 7-26-04 Trust is something that builds

Trust is something that builds bridges between the obvious and the possible. Sometime the obvious is not so obvious and the possible is far from real. The bridge however, is for the willing and the beliver in Grace.

I should be used to it by now, but it is only apparent when I get to this page, that I have not had access to the Web for 8 days! It has not been easy maintaning a positive outlook on life as a whole. It seems everywhere I go, all the news I hear is about what is wrong with our world or the war or the hurt inside the hearts of my people. All I can do is keep the connection clean to The Source of all things and receive my daily bread. 

There is no rest or serenity without some measure of a clean connection to The Source of all things. Let this old shaman testify and witness as per daily experiences in which The Grace of Him who Creates is evedantly abundant. All my desires and needs are met without effort, i say it again, The Source of all things is at my service for having accepted and trusted IT./

I look to old friends and relatives for inspiration to do what I do. It is as if through their needs or acceptance of what I teach, I become even more invigorated and charged up to be of much more service. I offer the fruit of this service in healing to my Lord and Master, God the Creator and Engineer of life. Greatfully yours, Shaman Hamid David Dashti.

Even if one were to be as Christ was, a healer in the most powerful sense of the word. One would as a human, fall short of answering the calls of the multitude. I am a healer by the Grace of God, I have learned the use of herbs and spinal manipulation, practice the art of natural healing through means close to nature. Yet in this trip to my homeland, I find myself nearly exhausted and at times overwhelmed by the demands of the family and relatives, most of whom refuse to understand that Natural healing requires a commitment to a natural way of life. For most this means letting go of a whole lot of old habits even in the way they think or pray. However, I have seen healing which strengthen my faith in the power of the word of mouth.

I just learned about the death of a niece! 20 years old, came home and fell down dizzy like, after testing it was found that she had tumer in her brain and never knew about it. She died not even knowin how or why, she died a good death! But how does one console the family? Her husband? her mother? I want to say "please celebrate her life, not mourn her death" But here in Iran, the very notion of this kind of talk is looked down upon. I can only show sypathy and stay quiet.

Of all the gifts my love can give to me, It is the gift of patience and forgiveness I need and admire the most. I too hope to give back much of the same in return and in doing so I am certain sernity will be abundant in our lives.

We make promises and test our limits of responsibilities perhaps just to see how far we can go without getting hurt. I am not so sure testing our limits is such a good idea, after all the payback I have seen for my (let's see what happens" stuff I have done, I'd just as soon not have to die that way.
