"Seek those that search for the truth...
and run from those that have found it."
- Anon
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

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.
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 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.
