"Seek those that search for the truth...
and run from those that have found it."
  - Anon
Simple Religion
Mohandas K. Gandhi once said,
"It is the duty of every cultured man and
woman to read sympathetically the
scriptures of the world. If we are to
respect others' religions as we would
have them respect our own, a friendly
study of the world's religions is a sacred
duty."
The Native American Ten Commandments

1. The Earth is our mother; Care for her
2. Honor all your relations
3. Open your heart and soul to the great Spirit
4. All life is sacred; treat all beings with respect
5. Take from the Earth what is needed and nothing more
6. Do what needs to be done for the good of all
7. Give constant thanks to the great Spirit for each new day
8. Speak the truth, but only of the good in others
9. Follow the rhythms of nature; rise and retire with the sun
10. Enjoy life's journey, but leave no tracks

original origin is unknown
Confucius once said,
"Do no harm to your neighbors, as you
wish not to be harmed."  A political and
social statement that almost 500 years
later was changed to say,  "Love one
another as I have loved you."  According
to Jesus Christ this is the greatest
commandment.  Said in many different
ways, it is the belief for Love in this life,
rewarding us with the Hope of eternal life.
Power Animals...

Ancient cultures believed that we are guided and lead by power animals.  Early in
my recovery, whatever I did I would see owls near by.  They were a very strong
guiding force during that time.

The last few years it has been the bear that leads me.  For a list of these power
animals
click here.

Or this site which shows the use of power animals through Lakota beliefs.
My life in the Midwest...

Most of my adult life I have spent in Wyoming, South Dakota, and Nebraska.  I have walked on the
sacred grounds of the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota.  Or more commonly known as the Sioux Nation.

To live on this land, I needed to learn who tracks I was following and what guided me.  I believe we
owe it to the ancestors of this country to learn their culture and their ways.  

This is a great site for the ways of the
Sioux Nation.
Powerful Message...

May I keep an open mind especially on spiritual matters, remembering that
"spiritual" is a bigger word than religious."  I was born of the Spirit, but I was taught
religion.

East vs. West

I have found so much joy in learning the different ways the western world functions
compared to the eastern world. On the right are two different views of it.

The top two images are from the book
Peeling The Sweet Onion by Martin Segal

The Natural Laws of the Universe

I believe our quest is to live a life of harmony, contentment, peace of mind, and
happiness.  It was Plato who said, "To know God, you must know the Law."  
These are the Laws.

Learning The Ancient Ways...

Early in my recovery, I began a journey of
looking at all the religions as well as the
ancient mythologies.  

As you can see, I have a very strong bond
with the Native American beliefs, but before
that, I found a strong fascination with the
Gods of Olympus.

The video is called
Who's Eyeing Me? and
it's a story of these gods and how they have
entered my life.
