shaman's thoughts

There is an old Native American story that goes something like this: Grandfather is sitting with the grand child and telling the story. There are these two wolves inside me that have an ancient fight. One wolf is for all my goodness, kindness, beauty, compassion, gentleness, and grace. The other is for my anger, hate, bad self, arrogance, selfishness, and greed. The fight is always ongoing when I am aware. The grand child asks; "So granpa, which wolf is going to win?". " THE ONE I FEED THE MOST" answers the grandfather. Feed your good nature my child by not feeding the bad one in you. That is just one way of walking this Earth my love. Find your good nature and find a friend for life.

The number of shows and books on how the quantum field of energy works for OR against us are on the rise. A new one out is called "the secret" available on DVD which has gone a long way in making the idea simple and understandable. The makers of this film aught to be congratulated! The one issue I would pick with the good folks is the concentration on "abundance" being translated as "monetary wealth" for the most part. There was a point where a lady doctor did refer to this point and mentioned that unless we have the foundation of peace and serenity the wealth in and of itself will not be sufficient for gaining that optimum utopia! Simplicity has always been the best approach for most, so in that spirit let us all at least accept that we are the designer of our world. If I continue to complain about things that are "not right" with my life, then that is what my energies are going to produce more of "things that are not right". I had a ...

Well my children, it seems we meet only to remember how we love being in each other's company. I have learned much from this summer's vacation trip to your neck o' the woods. I have been blessed with voices calling me "babajune", a most endearing sound to a man's ears. In Persian it means "dear to heart granpa" and indeed you all have made this granpa feel beloved and trusted for his old wisdom. You ladies, my daughters, have blossomed into humans with values that say "in this world we are the ones who make a difference every day with our presence. We are the ones who by being good to the heart and graceful in the action, bring peace and well being to those near and dear to us". You my children are the diamonds made from the rock of my life in the mill that is all your own. May this universe always bless you with more than you need in all things and take away from you that which is not pleasant to you. May God bring wisdom to your hearts an...

No comparing either, please love! Along the path we meet those who bear gifts of THE SOURCE , some stay a while longer than others, but all come to carry us through the next bend. So in that regard, I am a teacher by design, you are a teacher by Providence. My place under the heavens is not so far away from yours, else we would not have met so intimately. I can only compare me to me, you do the same. If indeed we could see for but a moment that "there is only SOURCE" then we would surly be free of this talks of you and me, them and us. THERE IS ONLY GOD, INDIVISIBLE, ALL IS MANIFESTATIONS OF GOD'S ESSENCE IN CREATION, IT IS ALWAYS NOW ! Normal is just another word for lacking the courage to fly free from the chains. We keep some, we all keep some my love.

If you don't mind my love, let me repeat this most important lesson of my life to you. WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS FOR THEY BECOME WORDS, WATCH YOUR WORDS FOR THEY BECOME ACTIONS, WATCH YOUR ACTIONS FOR THEY BECOME HABITS, WATCH YOUR HABITS FOR THEY BECOME YOUR CHARACTER, SEE YOUR CHARACTER BECOME YOUR DESTINY. Learn my love from the experiences of others before you. See the characteristics you do not find appealing in others and remove them from your own self. If you claim to be a good Gardner, produce the fruit and not just the idea of gardening. As thoughts come to you, watch them carefully my love, care not to give life to those thoughts that once transformed into words and actions may prove to be not the intentions of your "good" self. Could haves and should haves are wasteful thoughts after the effect, but every day is always a new beginning.

In the face of "pure evil" most humans will cringe and fold up maybe even cry. But then what is "evil"? Is it evil to lie to the masses and trick them into buying things that are not even close to a fair value for what they spend? Is it evil to force your will upon a people or individual because "you" believe you are right? Is it not just as evil to take what belongs to some body else who happens to not know better or is too weak to do any thing about the aggression? Is it not evil to say "I hate you" to our loved ones or friends and neighbors? Is it not evil to judge some as lower in humanity calling them savages? Is it not evil to yell at your spouse and make them feel belittled, or your children? My children, hear me now, that "evil" is the total sum of all of our negative inputs into the mechanism of life. Listen again, every time any one says or does an act filled with hate or total negative feelings, that field of "evil ene...

How long then my love before the "I" is no longer? How long then before "I" am annihilated, melted like the rain drops in the ocean that is YOU? A morsel of a touch, a look from the corner of you eyes, a hint of this love and this "I" is all but MU! Let the strings of this being play only the music that is good! Like the music of the trees and the clouds that only serve and never seek any recognition. Let the music of this instrument be the vibrations of such high energy that they burn the instrument to ashes my love. My love, my life, "I" wait for the strings to be strung every passing moment. YOU are always playing a new world!
