Community

Community is built on shared experience, shared ideas, shared play and shared bread. Most people are afraid of the idea of sharing because they think others will rip them off. It's up to us show them the rewards can be greater then the risk. It can't be done based only on money for money in true community is only a system of barter. A way to ensure everyone shares in the gifts of the community. we all seek community, when in truth the whole world is our community. Every stranger is a friend waiting to be found, every person down is the one who will help you when your down. If you don't worship money you are half way to community all ready. Big Tree 6/17/2012

Within the tribal structure you often had people who displayed the
riches of their society. However they were never the chiefs, the
peacemakers, the medicine people or the ceremony leaders.

Those people were among the poorest because they lived as examples of
the giveaway. The sharing of what you have with others who's needs are
greater then yours. The tribe supported them knowing that most of what
was given to them for their work would in turn be given back to the tribe.

Too bad that today's politicians, MD's, religious leaders and NGO
leaders don't follow this example.
Perhaps we need to choose our leaders based on how they live rather then
what they say.
Perhaps more people need to show the way. I try to do so.

One of my first lessons on life came early. It was don't fall victim to
pain and suffering or you will destroy yourself. You stop living when
you concentrate on poor me. If you think of others or anything except
the suffering you are undergoing you come out the other side a better
person.

Solstice ceremony The night before at Sunset a sacred fire is lit. This fire is given during the time from dark until midnight the bad things and misfortunes of the previous six months. The fire from midnight till morning is given the hopes and dreams of the people. At sunrise on the first full day of the new season we greet the Sun with the following greeting. First you smudge to cleanse yourself that the ceremony is performed properly. Good Morning Grandfather. Thank you for your light and warmth. Thank you for impregnating Mother Earth that we her children might have life. Thank you for providing us with a pale reminder of the far greater light beyond you. Since the next solstice is the 20th. Of June and the first full day of Summer is on the 21st. The ceremony will be on the morning of the 21st. After you greet the Sun you move to the West of the circle. You then call on the spirit of Fall to come help heal Mother earth. You ask the spirit of the Elders, the spirit of strength and the spirit of wisdom to assist in healing Mother. The you give a small gift of corn pollen or corn meal and move to the North of the circle. You call the Spirit of Winter to come help heal Mother. You ask the Spirit of New, the healing energy and the transformed to help you in this healing ceremony. Then once again you give your corn gift and move on. You call the Spirit of Spring, the giver of visions, the future and protector of the young to come help heal Mother. Then you give your corn gift and move on. Now you are facing the direction of the new season. Welcome the New season The season of Adulthood, love and growth. Ask the spirit of the season to help Heal Mother Earth. Now go to the center of the circle. Ask Mystery/Creator to use you as a hollow bone to help Heal Mother Earth. Hold your hands about 4” apart in front of you until you feel a tingling or warmth. The spread your hands at shoulder level and ask that the healing energy go to the places it is most needed. When you do not feel the warmth or tingling any more bring your hands together and give a big thank you. Then say AHO, AMEN or However you complete a prayer. The leave the circle and go break your fast. On the next season just start your ceremony one season over until after a year you have circled the seasons. Big Tree 6/13/2012

Have you noticed those who come back from the light never come back because they want to or for personal reasons. It's always to do something or other for everyone. Have you noticed those who respond to the still small voice never hear good job or take it easy. It's always go tell Pharaoh too let my people go or change what you are doing for that way leads to death. I guess all of us need to listen to that voice more. I do not belong to or follow any religion for they are all corrupt. However I do believe all prophecy whatever it's source contains both warnings and guidance within. Even Jonah was sent to warn of destruction if the people didn't change. I don't know what source he had but I have seen that in the cases where I am given a glimpse of the future. Creator/Great Mystery always uses men and women to accomplish good changes. It is never done in a standoffish way but it involves a Moses parting the Sea or the sudden flash of knowledge given to people like Tesla when he designed the electric motor. It does not take a genius to say" I will make war no more", just the inspiration of a still small voice. Listen then act is what I was taught so many years ago. Big Tree 6/5/2012

One thing I have observed in life is most people pray wrongly. Either they pray rightly, asking for what they need and thanking the source and then keep up the what if's and why me's. That or they ask the source not for what the want but a whole list of complaints and fears which bring direct results of their prayer in the continuation of their problems. Either approach is in direct violation of the law of prayer. For each is actually a prayer for the problem being prayed about to continue. Instead visualize in every way you can being free of the problem. Make your vision so real you can see, feel and whatever the problem as gone. Then say a simple thank you to whatever you think source is and go about your life as if the help you need has already come. That is true prayer. Remember the definition of prayer is talking to your source. Meditation is listening to your answers. Big Tree 6/2/2012
