NATIVE AMERICAN WISDOM (Book) Part 1

Compiled by Eleazar Harash

Translated by Ruah Ezekiel

FOREWORD

Learn to sleep by a wellspring and it will purify you unceasingly.

For the Wise One seclusion is a Wellspring.

The Wise One has a haven in their Pure Heart.

The solitude of the Wise One is a river of precious gemstones.

Learn to become enchanted by the Boundlessness.

Due to a lack of Vigilance, we may sometimes become prisoners of one bad thought.

Seclusion is the Deep Nature of the person.

The one who dreams is not sleeping, they are voyaging, they are wandering. In your dream you could meet friends from time ago and future ones.

Turn towards the Other One, so that you return into your Centre.

Realise the Completeness of Life in one blade of grass and you will be saved.

Learn to love the bug – as if it is a person who is close to you.

The Pure, Sacred and Intimate Merging creates Stars and Suns. This is not pleasure, these are Wings of the Soul.

Learn to view the flower as a child.

If bad thoughts come to you, teach them to dance… in this way they will lose their darkness.

The True prayer is always a Loving act.

Our Spirit is an Ancient Wellspring within us.

Bad thoughts are noise from old, backward worlds.

The white men tried to conquer us, but what was left for me? For me was left the Great Boundlessness of Spirit.

To the Humble one even the stars descend, and they pray together with them.

Through Love the person regains every strength lost.

If you instill Love into your fear, you will turn into Strength.

The Spirit within us is an Ancient Bird, Its Flight is Beyond light.

The Deep Comprehension is fine as the tip of a needle.

If you have a sun within you, you will tear away the darkness.

Things converse eternally without space being an obstacle.

Words are like fragrances, they embalm the body.

That, which stirs you, it means it exists.

The Quiet is not like words, it never lies.

We do not come to know anything, it is simply that the Wind touches us.

The world is a library and the books in it are the rocks, the leaves, the grass, the streams…

The most Supreme Wisdom remains the one of the Heart.

If we lose our Sacred Language, we lose everything.

Our Soul would not have a rainbow, if our eyes weren’t able to cry.

Love is something much deeper than the universe and the world. We have descended in order to understand this.

CREATION

In the Beginning everything was in obscurity, everything was in Peace, in Speechlessness, everything was motionless, silent; and empty was the vastness of the sky. There was still not one man, not one animal, nor birds, fish, plants, trees, rocks, caves, grass; only the Sky existed.

The Face of the Earth was not manifested, there was only one Calm Sea and Sky in all its vastness. There was nothing nearby, which made a sound, nor something that moved, there was nothing.

There was nothing that was upright. Only the Water was in Peace. The Quiet Sea was lonely and solitary, there was nothing, which was granted existence, which was granted a state of Being. There was only Motionlessness and Speechlessness in the darkness of night. Only the Creator, the Maker, was an Observer and He walked along everything.

The First-Creators were in the water, embraced by Light; their Essence was the big Vigour and then here the Word came, together with the Creator, the Maker came here too, in the darkness, in the night, and then it became Bright.

The first Being, who was granted Reason, was created by the Ancestors, the Gods. They have destroyed all their previous creations, because they were unsuccessful. Afterwards they created man with reason; and they concealed themselves again in their place – the Sky, the place of the All-encompassing. Then the Ancestors have returned into Heart of Sky, to the One Who sees in the darkness.

The Gods-Ancestors were able to pass through stone, too.

The first reasonable people were created without a father; they called them The Secret, because they were created through Secret.

Among the first created men there were such ones with Great Wisdom. These were people wondrous and strong, always ready to help and never to destroy.

The Ancestors had many unsuccessful attempts until they created this reasonable man.

The first people were not born of a woman, nor were they conceived by the Father and Maker – they were born of the Gods.

And they were given a mouth, a face, speech, hearing, thinking, they walked and they had gait and they thanked for their Being… But the Supreme Man – Huraqan (God) Himself made him with much care.

Many humans were made in the darkness, because they did not uphold and preserve their God.

The Supreme Conviction of the Native American peoples is that One Supreme Being – Invisible and Eternal – has created the Whole World of Being, and the rest of the Deities are simply manifestations of His.

The person upholds the Whole World of Being and the Gods, because they have mutual relations with them.

The Gods wanted to create the animals like the humans – with a voice to praise God – but their attempt was unsuccessful…

Earth appeared after the Sky and Water. Earth was submerged in the Water and by the Power of the Word it emerged from the Water…

The Supreme Being turned Itself into One Great Divinity and this gave many opportunities to the radiated Deities to create; and this Supreme Divinity concealed Itself and became an Observer.

The Whole of Creation was carried out in the Dark, because then, there was yet no Sun… Then Darkness reigned for a long time.

The Kʼicheʼ people called the fallen world Xibalba – this was the fallen world, where certain Deities made people ill and even took their lives.

The Kʼicheʼ people thought that the spoken words of the Supreme Being are Spoken Willpower, because everything that has been spoken, has happened.

The Sun resembled man, and the Dawn was the Proto-Human, the Ancient one. But the secondary human wanted to shine.

According to some legends, in the time of Paradise – the time before all time – the Cosmos was in total Harmony with Itself. Then, for all beings and elements, including for humans, only one language existed. But the relations in Paradise began to worsen more and more. The Power withdrew, and this had fatal consequences. The close relative bonds between its inhabitants fell apart. This led to their separation. Even though the mutual language was lost, the Cosmic manifestations remained connected to one another. This is why, until this day, the actions of people have a big influence on nature and the spiritual world.

The Earth and Sky were made from the body of one enormous, monstrous snake.

Whoever has mastered this snake within themselves, they wielded the special weapon Xiuhcoatl – The Fiery Power, the Fiery Sword.

Within the snake itself, there are many spirals and bends, through which a person may enter the Spirit world, or the World of the Gods.

And the open maw of the snake symbolises a Cave, which is an entrance towards the world of the spirits or towards the underworld – Mictlan.

In Timelessness all times and epochs merge together.

Everyone who is committing evil is under the gaze of Heart of Sky – in front of Huraqan.

From the Eternal Abyss, life and the Universe unfold.

The Abyss has poured out the spirits and everything that exists – both the visible and the invisible.

The Abyss is a Secret of one Totally Inexpressible Beginning.

All people on this Earth originate from one place.

POPOL VUH

(The paragraphs in cursive are excerpts from Popol Vuh.)

Popol Vuh is a Sacred epos, a Secret book of the Kʼicheʼ native americans from the Maya family, who lived in Guatemala, the lake Atitlan.

In the Beginning everything was concealed… and everything came from beyond the sea, beyond the darkness, but life was seen clearly – the Proto-image, which was also concealed and its Creator was concealed, and later He gave rise to breathing, thinking, and everything else that He uttered. He gave rise to the Sages as well, so that they may understand all of this, in order to lead the others. And so everything was in obscurity, in Peace, in Speechlessness. Everything was motionless, silent, and empty was the vastness of the Sky.

The Universe is the deed of one Great, Uncreated God. Before He began the Creation of the world, He separated Himself into Deities, Parts of Him. And the Creation is a direct participation of these Deities, but in the True sense of the term, in the Creation, one and one only Supreme Deity takes part, because only this Being can call out a State of Being from the Nothingness, and the Deities are only His manifestations and helpers. Only the Supreme Deity is a Creator, and the Deities are makers.

In the Beginning was Huraqan, the Creator, He is the Father and Mother of everything existing. He is the reason for existing. He is the Creator of everything precious.

The Father is Huraqan and He is called Heart of Sky.

The Beginning was Speechlessness, a Speechless Sea, the Skies – there was no land… only Anciency and Dragon-Gods, Gods of the Sky and the sea… They turned for help towards Huraqan –Heart of Sky – and they asked to create the Land, and thus they created everything along it: trees, plants and animals…

These, then, are the first words, the first Speech. There is not yet one person, one animal, bird, fish, crab, tree, rock, hollow, canyon, meadow, or forest… All alone the sky exists… The face of the earth has not yet appeared. Alone lies the expanse of the sea, along with the womb of all the sky. There is not yet anything gathered together. All is at rest. Nothing stirs. All is languid, at rest in the sky. There is not yet anything standing erect. Only the expanse of the water, only the tranquil sea lies alone. There is not yet anything that might exist.

All lies placid and silent in the darkness, in the night. Only the Concealed One and the Shaper, and The Proto-Fathers were in the water, but enveloped by a wondrous Light…

And then here came the Word and the Proto-Fathers contemplated, united in their Word and in their thoughts, and it became clear, that with the coming of Dawn, the human had to appear – the Birthing was forthcoming.

First came Cakulha Huraqan, then second Chipi-Cakulha and third Rasha Cakulha. These three together are the Heart of Sky. Then came Tepeu and Gucumatz and spoke of life and the coming of Dawn. They spoke of how it will be done so, that there will be a Dawn and Light, and who will create nourishment, sustenance…

The Supreme Being advises with Its Deities – Tohil, Gucumatz, Kukulkan, Quetzalcoatl, Tepeu… Even before Creation these Deities contemplated Life, the Dawn and how it will come to be, how it will Rise… Then they contemplated and pondered who will provide food, the life force, and then they contemplated how animals should be created…

And in the Anciency in a peculiar way began the Creation and growth of plants and vines, and the birthing of life, and the Creation of Man… So was arranged in the darkness and in the night by Heart of Sky. So was arranged by the One, Who is named Huraqan.

And it was said: “Then be it so! May the emptiness be filled! May this water withdraw, may it clear the space. May the earth be created and may it become firm!” – So they said. “May it be Dawn, may Light appear on the Sky and the Earth!” – and it was Dawn, and Light came – both in the Sky and on Earth. There can be no glory, no greatness in what we have created and shaped, until the human being has been created, until the human has been made,” they said. So was the Earth created as well – their word brought about the creation of it.

Like a mist, like a cloud, like dust was the Creation – when from the water, the mountains sprung out and in one instance the mountains grew.

The Ancient Word is a Magical Art.

Only by a miracle, only with Miraculous Art were the mountains and valleys formed, and straightaway were cypress groves and pine forests created together on the face of the Earth. Thus Gucumatz rejoiced: “It is good that you have come, Heart of Sky—you, Huraqan, and you as well, Chipi-Cakulha, Rasha-Cakulha!

And they all rejoiced at Huraqan.

First the Earth was created, the mountains and the valleys; the waterways were divided, the springs coursing freely among the hills. The waters remained divided, when the great mountains appeared. For thus was the creation of the Earth, which was created by Heart of Sky… In this way the Creation was perfected, when they enacted it after contemplation and pondering…

And said the Proto-Fathers: “Will there be only Speechlessness and Stillness?” (…) Then were created the deer and the birds, and many animals… And when the Creation of all four-legged and birds was complete, The Creator, the Shaper and the Proto-Fathers said to them: “Speak! Call! Croak! Chirp! Speak, each according to your kind, according to your group!” (…) “Speak therefore our names, revere us, for we are your Mother and your Father! … But they did not succeed in speaking like people…

The animals could not speak, they could not revere the Shaper and therefore something else had to be created, which would worship the Creator and would Call to Him.

“Let us try again!” – said the Creator and the Proto-Fathers. And it was nearing the time of the Dawn and of the First Light. “Let us create the one, who will call upon us and remember us… We have already made a first attempt with our first creations, but we were not able to achieve that they revere us and venerate us. Let us now attempt to create obedient beings, respectful, who will be a sustainer and a provider.” – So they said.

Then was the creation and the shaping of it. Of earth and mud they composed the flesh (of the person). But they saw that it was still not good, as it came undone and crumbled. The person was sodden and immovable, had no strength and therefore fell, and was mushy, could not lift his head, and his face could only look in one direction. His gaze was hazy; he could not see behind. At first he spoke, but without reason. Straightaway it would dissolve in water, for it could not hold.

And said the Framer, the Proto-Fathers and the Ancestors: : “It is clear to see that he cannot walk, nor reproduce”. And the Ancestors said “Let us advise about this again”.

Therefore they undid it and toppled what they had created. And immediately they said: “How then will we truly make perfect that, which will worship us and call upon us?” …

Thus they said, when they again advised between them: “Let us try our luck again and make this creation”.

So they said between them, the Creator and the Proto-Fathers, they spoke as Ancient Seers, as Ones, Concealed within the Dawn, and finally, decided: “We must all gather together and create Man, who will call upon us and revere us”…

“Cast grains of maize and tz’ite to divine how what we shall make will come out. And we shall know whether we shall chisel out or we shall sculpt his mouth and eyes in wood…”

Thus began the divination ceremony, and thus they said: “…You, grains of maize, and you, tz’ite; you, fate, and you, creation  – come together, merge together… we call forth to you, come and become our fate, Creation of ours. Come to bring your sacrifice here on Earth… Come here, Heart of Sky…”

Then they spoke and they told the Truth: “Your effigies of wood shall come out well, they shall speak and they shall talk there upon the face of the earth”… And straightaway the effigies of carved wood were made. They had the appearance of people, they spoke like people and they populated the surface of the Earth… But they no longer remembered the Heart of Sky and therefore they fell into disfavour.

According to Popol Vuh the animals were created in the beginning with the purpose of revering Huraqan – The Great Secret, but in the language that they began to speak (croaking, squealing and so forth) they became incomprehensible for the Gods and therefore all animals were later sentenced to be eaten and killed.

And it was not only the animals which were an unsuccessful attempt of the Gods, but even when creating humans there were a few unsuccessful attempts. This is why, even until this day, man does not incessantly revere Huraqan and does not remember Him at all times.

In Creation there is something that drags the person away and they find it very difficult to remember Huraqan and the Gods, and their reverence is not true.

The Ancestors say that the Flood was caused by The Heart of Sky and so one big flood happened, which fell upon the unreasonable beings… and for this reason they were drowned, they were punished… because they had not thought about their Mother and their Father.

… Imminently the effigies carved of wood were ruined, destroyed, crushed and gained death. A flood was caused by The Heart of Sky that came down upon the heads of the effigies carved of wood…

These first, unreasonable humans, were created and shaped so that they are destroyed.

 …Thus the created people, the shaped people, were undone. They were created to be overthrown and destroyed, the mouths and faces of all of them were ruined and crushed.

It is said that the monkeys that are in the forests today are descendants of these people. They are in their image, for their flesh was merely wood when it was created by the Creator and the Shaper. Therefore the monkeys appear like people, they are an image of one generation of created and shaped people, who were only effigies and were made merely of wood…

OF THE GOD OF THE NATIVE AMERICANS, THE CREATOR WAKAN TANKA

Anyone, who is here on this Earth, is here for a reason, chosen by the Creator.

I believe that our people and all humans on this Earth are preparing to return to their Roots. They are seeking something, that something is the Creator.

There will always be a need for Spiritual people, who are close to the Creator.

Wakan Tanka – the Great Secret – these are the Concealed Secret Powers, which created the Universe, the stone, the four winds, the Sky, the Mother Earth, the Sun, the Moon, the lightning, the human, the bison, the plants, the bear…

When Wakan Tanka – the Great Secret – has created something, then it has Spirit and you must revere it.

The Creator has given me Reverence. With this Reverence I ascend towards Him.

Only the Proto-Father – The Great Secret – knows things truly.

You are always observed by the Great Secret in everything you do.

We are all flowers in the Garden of the Great Spirit.

The Great Secret guides everyone and everything.

The Great Secret has created everything to be alive. Rocks are also alive… we speak to them and they answer us.

People differ between each other only in this, how they use everything that has been given to them by the Great Secret.

The Great Secret, this is the Great Spirit.

The Great Spirit has given each and everyone One Sacred Way.

All things tell of the Great Secret.

Look around you – all things confirm that the Creator has created them. Humans cannot create a tree.

The Great Secret is greater than all gifts.

The Truthful person never loses their direction towards the Great Spirit – the Great Secret.

The ones who have lost their direction towards the Creator, they have lost their aim.

The Great Secret is our Creator. He is our history and we must learn from our own selves, in order to become worthy of Him.

Long ago and far back in time we lived in the Creator and we were free, like the wind in the prairie.

Life has risen from the Great Unbornness.

The Proto-Old God is the reason for every creation. This Proto-Old God – Ometeotl – was Non-acting, Immovable. But the Gods that He created began to act and to fulfil their roles – they were granted the power of movement.

The Creator revealed to me His Mercy and I peacefully walk along my Way of Light.

Wakan Tanka is the most Supreme and the most Sacred one of all.

Wakan Tanka gives every Sacred person their own independent powers, in order for them to use them for their own development.

The Supreme Being is One for all nations.

The Great and Good Will of Wakan Tanka has given birth to the Soul.

There is nothing mechanical in our Connection to Wakan Tanka.

Wakan Tanka teaches us how to be established, so that we may experience things more rightly, more completely and more deeply.

Wakan Tanka and the Helpers are the Leaders of the Epochs – they have always been and they always will be.

We come and go, and Wakan Tanka always is. And if we follow Him, He will always spin the Sacred Wheel within us.

The ones who devote themselves to Wakan Tanka, will attain Peace and will be liberated from fear.

The ones who devote themselves to Wakan Tanka, will come to know that the Helpers are everywhere all around them.

The ones who know Wakan Tanka do not have the worries of ordinary people.

The ones who know Wakan Tanka are occupied with things they love.

When we have devoted ourselves to Wakan Tanka, He walks with us along the ways of life and does that, which we never would have been able to do on our own.

When the person is in contact with Wakan Tanka, they have a special Depth-feeling for things.

Wakan Tanka contains the whole of Spiritual Energy within Himself, but He likes to share it.

According to Wakan Tanka, every tribe must believe in whatever ways that work best for them, because the differences come from the ways that Spiritual things are perceived.

Every thing which was created by Wakan Tanka, is a specific energy. This applies to the Sun, the Moon, the rocks, the animals, the birds, the fish, the plants and people.

If we are spiritual, then Wakan Tanka and the Helpers participate in our thoughts and ways.

What could be greater than this, to be the mind, the eyes, the ears, the nose, the mouth, the palms, the arms and the legs of Wakan Tanka here, on Earth!

Energy is one thing, the Power is something else. Energy is everywhere, but the Sacred Power is a Key, which must be set in motion. This Key is a distinct type of Knowledge, of Insight.

Energy is scattered everywhere, but the Power is not. It is concealed within the Centre, and only through summoning it, it can become the Key for something important.

The Spiritual Power is the Engine of Energy. The Spiritual Power is the Primordial, the Ancient Engine, and the Key and the Insight for this Engine come from Wakan Tanka, Who is the Power Itself.

The Power comes through the understanding of its meaning, because the Power is Sacred and is set in motion in a Sacred way by Wakan Tanka and the Helpers.

No-one is able to live well, if they are not in Unity with the Sacred Power of Wakan Tanka, and the Unity with this Power is connected to purification.

Wakan Tanka and the Helpers do not come in person, they simply establish contact with us.

In order to be liberated from fear, we must trust Wakan Tanka and His Helpers.

We attain the True Knowledge, when to our natural power we add parts of the Power of the Helpers and of Wakan Tanka.

Wakan Tanka is an enormous White Light and when I go to Wakan Tanka, I go to visit this enormous White Light.

If we know Wakan Tanka, we shall come to understand that Mother Earth has the same senses as we do.

Wakan Tanka always knows when I need Him. He made me understand that His Spirit looks exactly like me.

Wakan Tanka taught me to fly with my Spirit, and I fly faster than the wind and the light – it is as if I am floating in space and there I see only lights.

With Wakan Tanka, life is one constant Revelation.

With Wakan Tanka and the Helpers, there is always more than enough elation.

Wakan Tanka deals with the needs of people, not with luxury.

When the person has developed a high opinion of themselves, in one moment they decide they no longer need Wakan Tanka and the Helpers… The high opinion of one’s self is a measure for failure.

The energy is everywhere, but the Power is only His – Wakan Tanka’s.

The Higher Powers know that we feel best when we are close to them.

With Wakan Tanka and the Helpers, everything is possible.

When the imminent situation is heavy and almost hopeless, Wakan Tanka comes to take it into His Own Hands.

In decisive hours, Wakan Tanka says that, which the person most wants to hear, He says to them that, which is most important for them.

What is most desirable of all is to be together with Wakan Tanka in Eternity.

The Supreme Sacred Power, this Great Being, the Creator of the world, is present in all beings.

When Wakan Tanka – The Great One – does something, it is not miracles, it is simply the fulfilment of a promise.

While Christians learn of God from the Bible, the Native Americans learn of Him from Nature and from legends.

The Supreme Ruler of the Power is Wakan Tanka.

In the Beginning, the whole of the Power was in the Hands of Wakan Tanka – the Creator, but then He gave parts of It to the other Heavenly Ancestors, the Proto-Fathers, so that they may use it and grant it to others.

The Power is a type of Illumination and Enlightenment, which gives the person the ability to understand a certain thing or a Teaching in the right way.

The Power is needed for carrying out what is necessary – this Power is everywhere in the Universe and it is distributed by the Heavenly Ancestors in two ways: directly or through intermediates.

A Native American knows that the Power is not theirs, as they have been taught by the Ancestors. The Native American also knows that they are only an opening and the Power is not theirs, and they know that if they think the Power is theirs, they will lose it.

Only those ones will survive, who purify themselves, because they will merge with Wakan Tanka.

Wakan Tanka is the Power which sets everything in motion. Wakan Tanka is a Mystical Power.

The Wind is the place, where one accepts the Energy of Wakan Tanka.

The ways, in which guidance comes to us from Wakan Tanka, are many.

If you believe in the Great Spirit, your net will catch the good ideas, and will send the bad ideas out through the opening. Every person is a symbol of this net and what they catch in their net shows the direction of their future.

The Depth of our understanding shows us the place that we have reached in our life.

Everything in nature is created by Wakan Tanka and He is a part of it.

The Great Spirit is everywhere, He manifests differently through an animal, a bird, a tree or a hill. Sometimes He speaks through a rock or from the water.

Everything comes from the Great Secret.

The person will always stand eye to eye with the Great Secret and no matter how much they examine It, It will always remain a Secret.

Life begins and ends with the Spirit within us.

The person is a creation of the Great Spirit, of the Great Secret.

Do not abandon the Secret for the sake of life.

The warmth and the fire of Wakan Tanka are an enormous Power.

Wakan Tanka is not present with us entirely – this is only the Power which He sends us, so that we know He is among us.

The crystals have received an extraordinary power. Their purity makes it easier for Wakan Tanka and His Helpers to send messages to us. The crystal has been given to us in order for us to communicate with Wakan Tanka. The crystal is a means for pure concentration.

QUETZALCOATL

Quetzalcoatl is the Priest of Tollan. This is the person who creates a civilisation. He is also called “The Great Ruler”. He was a Leader of Toltecs for 20 years, He lived in Tollan from the year 900 until 1156. The Legend says that Quetzalcoatl was conceived from a precious stone.

Quetzalcoatl is the Proto-Founder of the New life. He was able to transmit many abilities to people.

He is a God and a man. He was revered by old Toltecs as a Dragon, for the abundance He carried within Himself. Toltecs believed that He brought the fresh wind and the life-giving rainfall.

Quetzalcoatl was a Supreme Priest and a Patron of the Priestly hierarchy in Tenochtitlan. Quetzalcoatl was an Immaculate King and Priest. He always invoked awe and reverence, He was forever Immortal.

Quetzalcoatl is connected to the Dawn and because of this, He had all that was necessary.

He has said: “As the Gods descend upon the Earth again, they will once again bring to order what they created time ago.”

Time was created for healing, it is a Great Healer.

He has said: Leave your Spirit to merge with the Spirit of the Pyramid.

He has said: The Masters are the Ones who Transfigure. Leave the outside world, but be Transfigured on the inside!

He was a Priest – a True Creator.

GOOD AND EVIL

Within people there is good and evil. They go too far one way or the other.

You are good, if true healing means to heal the evil within yourself completely – your old culture.

Whoever has sunk their evil into darkness, they become born Free as the Wind.

For the Mayans, the good was concealed within evil and the evil was concealed within good. They were in Unity, even though they appeared to be opposites.

The Great Cosmic Tree balances everything. The Darkness was omnipresent, but it is balanced by the Light; the same way as night is balanced by day; as the feminine by the masculine; as death by life; as the underworld life by the Shining Heavens.

The Great Cosmic Tree, according to the Mayans, grew in the Sky, on Earth and in the Underworld.

For the Mayans nothing was only good or only evil – they both contain each other within themselves.

According to the Mayans, if you do not attain the pure life, you will be deceived by the forces of evil.

If you want more from people than they are able to give to you, you will gain energy from the forces of evil and this energy will destroy everything that you strive for.

We draw our own curses upon ourselves, and our salvation is to turn entirely towards Wakan Tanka and the Helpers.

Thanks to evil we learn the best lessons in our life.

Everyone has within themselves the ability to grow Spiritually.

O Sun, you remain Eternal, but we must die!

The person does not sell the land which they walk upon.

Do not notice the worlds and you will grasp the Wind – the Spirit.

Everything changes and always for the better.

The person who has returned from the Depths of Darkness is like a newborn. If they have found their Enlightenment, then with their own eyes, they can see in the otherworld, as well.

Enlightenment gives the ability to see in the other world, and with these other eyes, the person comes to know the Spiritual Essence of all beings.

Everything is energy. The question is to not allow the difficulties, the problems and people to drain you. That is a dangerous circle.

Wisdom always guards us from this circle and teaches us to charge ourselves from a Higher Source.

When the energy is purified, it draws from its Supreme Source. Then the development is right and then the development attracts situations that move us forward.

For the Aztecs the Underworld was a place of Darkness, fear and infinite sorrow.

According to the Mayans the Underworld was a Kingdom of terror. Here the deceased has to pass through many trials, imposed on them by evil deities.

Our world is populated by spirits both good and evil.

The Higher World lives within the Spirit. The Middle world – these are the people, they live in the air, they are dependent upon the air. The Lower world – the devils, are below the air, they are dependent on the big difficulties and tortures.

Whoever accepts evil, they also accept death.

The Mayans believed that bad things happen according to another law. For them, in this law, something happens and is fulfilled, that is set in motion by the Gods, it is predetermined by them.

Plants are sown in darkness (the soil) and they rise, when they pierce it. It is the same with the person – they are sown in the body and they rise when they Enlighten God within themselves, when they Enlighten Huraqan.

Everything in the Universe has its antipode – this is the other half of the dualistic body.

The night is a time of fear, because Tezcatlipoca rages freely in the hours of darkness. For him it is said, that he moved as a wandering demon.

Also dangerous at night are Tzitzimimeh – the female demonic spirits, which like to strike people with sinister insinuations.

Tezcatlipoca – this is the God of Destiny and the bringer of discord and depravity.

Tezcatlipoca has incredible powers and might and very often applies them in an evil and testing way.

Tezcatlipoca is a Co-Creator and carries a part of the Glory of the Creation of the world. His body is the body of the Earth.

Toltecs believe that Tezcatlipoca is a good destroyer, because by demolishing, he creates New-Creations.

Tezcatlipoca was banished from the 13^th Sky for misusing his dark powers.

Tezcatlipoca had a method to see the Sacred things, concealed within the Souls of humans.

According to Toltecs, Tezcatlipoca likes the dark deeds, stealing, and he was able to see within the hidden side of human urges.

His concealed power gave him access to gain insight – to see the dark nature of people and animals.

Tezcatlipoca exists in all levels of the Universe, not only in the Underworld.

Tezcatlipoca is the God of strong storms and hurricanes.

Tezcatlipoca is a symbol of the future ruin, when he will be given power over the irrevocable, inescapable catastrophe.

Tezcatlipoca will take part, as has been predetermined, in the eradication of this Creation, which does not revere Ometeotl – The Only God.

Tezcatlipoca is a symbol of the dark wind – the wind of the dark breathlessness.

Tezcatlipoca is a symbol of the black breathless wind, unlike the Light Eecatl – the living, life-giving wind.

Tezcatlipoca is a being which seeks and loves conflict. He fuels it, he encourages it for his own self and for his observations. He is a trial, which looks like evil-doing.

Tezcatlipoca moves secretly in the dark and has the appearance of a sharp-sighted carnivore. He knows the fatal places in the person and in the Underworld.

Tezcatlipoca is able to send all unreasonable desires into the blackness – the emptiness.

Tezcatlipoca has within himself a peculiar ability – he is able to mix the positive with the negative – and in this way he confuses everyone, who is not firmly set in their Way.

Tezcatlipoca or the great illusion, is able to see in the murky nature of the person.

Tezcatlipoca is a constant danger and not only at night. He always roams and seeks victims.

Anyone, who was able to defeat Tezcatlipoca, was allowed to ask anything of the Great Secret.

Tezcatlipoca liked to create ambushes and he often sent wrong-doers to do his work.

In his more inner part, Tezcatlipoca had very dangerous energy, which caused a great unrest among the ordinary Toltecs.

There is True Wisdom both in light, and in darkness.

The ones who overpraise themselves will be extinguished.

The occupation of evil is to exhaust people until it turns them into bones and skull.

Evil is the place of torture of both the earthly world and the underworld, because people have lost their True Reverence towards the Gods and towards Huraqan.

Evil is present only through the permission of Wakan Tanka, and we survive only if we believe we are close to Wakan Tanka and the Helpers.

The people who do not know Wakan Tanka, cannot attract good things. Evil knows this and tempts them, and people easily fall into the trap.

The dark home or the dark consciousness is a tree, which never bears fruit and here no one is able to pick or gather anything.

The beings of evil kill what is human within them and they become animals – falling in this way, they return in their past.

Evil has made some people kill by coercion, because they were indebted to evil and to the underworld from the past.

ILLNESS, HEALTH, HEALING

Illnesses come from bad winds – influences. And what are the influences? Instilled evil spirits.

The true art of healing is realised with the help of the Spirit and Light.

Healing is done though a luminous energy field.

Healing is done though the law of Purity.

Purity is an ability to create a Sacred Space.

Illnesses are beings which feed on certain types of energies.

The True Healing is within the Awakening of the Primordial Nature of the sick person and in their Perception of Infinity.

Becoming healthy is merely an improvement, while Healing is something Total. It is connected to a big change in life.

The Mayans do not have a word for health and illness. They say: “The person has two states: “kav-al-i” and “kami”. The first one, “kav-al-i” means to be strong, gathered, whole, orderly.  “Kami” means to be distracted, loose, dead and mushy.

For the living and for the deceased, they say: “Only the one is alive, who has days. Sick is the one who has no days”. Becoming healthy for Mayans means “to regain your days”.

Within the person there are two main states, which have been determined to be states of illness. The first one is “kamelal-smanil” – this is the illness of the body. Here the damage is external, it touches the person, but does not cling to them, does not penetrate into them. These kinds of illnesses (the external ones) are considered good. They are a conception of the good, they are not a conception that incinerates. The second state “kamel-l kahsi-l” – this is already illness. This is an illness of the living beginning – this illness is always especially heavy, because it affects the person fully – both physically and psychically. Here the illness grasps the person, it penetrates on the inside according to the right, determined for it by the Conception.

Here the person can attain salvation only if “chilam” intervenes – a Priest – The Interpreter of the Divine. Here, a Jaguar-Priest is needed – mighty wind. Here the person has strayed from Huraqan – from God – and has challenged Him, and this is why God has sent a mist into their eyes. And this is why many things have become a mist for this person – secret, not understood, incomprehensible. Here a Jaguar-Priest is needed, because they are able to penetrate into The Heart of Wind, into the Heart of things.

An illness which is heavy may appear from fright, from a lightning strike, from a strong irradiation, from an earthquake. And then a part of the living Beginning starts to disappear from the person, and the person starts to lose themselves. Then, a “kamam” must be found – a guard, a protector, a guardian of their dissipating energy. This guardian is able to call on Huraqan through their mighty wind, in order to start to return “kahsi-l” – the Living Beginning – back into the abandoned body, because the Priest is able to penetrate into “ka-hik” – the air, the extraordinary space, which is saturated with good and bad particles and breaths. Truly, the air is saturated with good and bad forces, in it float all sorts of different good and bad forces and breaths.

“Kamam” – the Guardian – may provide constant help as well, but only if the person manages to convince them and draw them to their side.

For the Native Americans the forest is an enchantment and healing. For them, the forest is a Mother-Healer, and the plants are the treasures of the jungle.

Health is harmony between the human and the Ancestors.

The jungle is the Native American pharmacy and when you love it, it speaks to you. Otherwise, it remains silent.

The plant world offers healing substances, creating protection within the person.

When we follow the right Way, the illnesses do not appear.

If people want to be truly healthy and to live a long time, there is a real way of attaining this… Not elixirs and secrets, instead they must dedicate themselves to Wakan Tanka.

The ones who devote to Wakan Tanka will see that illnesses do not exist and that there is no illness, which cannot be cured… They will see that even fears do not exist.

Healing is a very special Gift from Wakan Tanka, for which the person must be especially worthy.

If you want to heal someone, your whole body must become a living Energy, a living Power, a living vibrating State – and this is transmitted to the ill person. This mighty and living vibration is His Divinity, this is the Support from Wakan Tanka. This Divine vibration is a Secret and peculiar Power. This is the Power of Wakan Tanka.

The Mighty Power of Wakan Tanka is fearsome and therefore, the severity of the illness is of no matter.

Healing requires a Mighty energy saturating of the Power.

When one person needs to be healed, then many spirits come to help.

Wakan Tanka Himself appears in the role of a healer, when the instance demands this.

The boons which come from Wakan Tanka are far beyond any healing.

In order for the person to be healed, their dream, their imaginating must change.

The healing of the person is the healing of what is wrong within them, and that is their attitude towards things. The healing must change the consciousness.

The Native Americans say: Whoever is in harmony with themselves, they are able to preserve their health.

THE SHAMAN AND THE SACRED

The life of the Sacred person is a dance of energy.

The Truthful dance is a summoning of the Spirit, that it may be embodied into life.

When they are healing, the Shaman first creates the Sacred space, and then they lead you into it.

Seclusion and suffering reveal to the human Spirit that, which remains concealed for others. The Shaman must seek their Wisdom precisely there.

The healer likes Peace. In it, they wrap themselves as if in a blanket. The healer is neither good, nor bad – they simply live, nothing more.

The healer does not need to be a saint, yet they, however, need to be able to sink as deep as a worm and fly as high as an eagle. If they have not tried both, then they are not a good healer.

The Native American healer gains their power from the Night. This Spirit is everywhere, It does not have a name.

The eagle and the owl do not give power to the Shaman, they are just messengers, who carry the message of the Spirit of the night.

When the Shamans gain Power, it always comes from the night… This Power has nothing to do with the moon and stars.

The pipe of the Native American Shaman Healer is their mobile altar – a symbol of the Unity between Nature and culture.

One Lakota Healer says: “For us Native Americans, only the pipe, the earth which we stand upon and the open sky, exist… The smoke of the pipe ascends upward towards the Spirit world. Power flows through the smoke, through the opening of the pipe, towards us below… The person feels this Power when they hold the pipe – it penetrates from the pipe directly into your body. The pipe is not an ordinary object, it lives”.

The Sacred pipe is the key, the method for understanding life.

For the Jaguar, it was considered it had distinct concealed movements, which make it a hunter in the Dark and because of this, it is an ally of the Shamans. It was considered that the Jaguar was a Mighty being of Power. It was considered that through this Power, this being captures its Insights. The Jaguar was the embodiment of Power. The Wise Native Americans thought that trough its movements, the Jaguar was able to See.

It is considered that this Jaguar-Shaman acted as a Spirit, as a Magician.

In a Sacred way I live and I gaze towards the Skies.

Every person has the inner ability to awaken and to walk in a Sacred Way.

The way we walk through life is our most important responsibility as people.

Our religion is Sacred – this is the olden Way.

The Sacred person has a True Gaze for the Spiritual World.

The Real human right is: traveling towards the Sacred.

Through Self-Renunciation, within the person, a Sacred Altar is created – a mysterious place and time, in which you are able to commune with the Spirit World directly.

The living energy of the Sacred person is Special.

The Sacred person controls themselves in the right way, because they do not have the right to lose their Powers.

Every coming Sunrise is a Sacred event. Every day is Sacred because of the Light, coming from our Father – Wakan Tanka.

You must remember that all nations are Sacred and they must be revered.

Winyan Wakan – The Woman of Secrecy

Each one who hinders the Sacred person, makes them even stronger.

Winyan Wakan – The Woman of Secrecy

When you love the Sacred, the Spirits teach you how to act towards yourself and in this way they teach you to have the right relations with yourself.

Winyan Wakan – The Woman of Secrecy

When you begin to love the Sacred, what is right happens.

Winyan Wakan – The Woman of Secrecy

When you begin to love the Sacred, Light enters your Heart and guides it. And if the Light guides your Heart, then the Sacred has accepted you.

Winyan Wakan – The Woman of Secrecy

The Sacred Way is an Olden way, it has been known to us for centuries. And the new way is young – it destroys us, we are not kindred with the new way.

The True person becomes kindred with the Sacred and they grasp their Soul.

The world has forgotten only one thing, but it is the most important thing: this is the Sacred.

Only within the Sacred, everything comes to be.

Only the Sacred human attains health – the internally purified human.

The Sacred Healing is a healing in an inner way.

The Sacred gives the right to penetrate into inner things.

The Power, which emanates from the Sacred, livingly-creates.

The Sacred is something, in which the Secret of Life can become perceptible.

The True Origin of the Sacred is the Creator.

“Shaman” means a Sacred person in their Primordial sense.

The Shaman is the maestro in the kingdom of the spirits.

The Shaman descends deeply into themselves and communes with the spirits.

The Shaman is a Wellspring of the Sacred, they gather it within themselves and grant it to others.

The Shaman is able to speak with the nation of the spirits and with the nation of the bison.

The Shaman passes through their big suffering, in order to purify the evil within themselves and to be transfigured. In this way they become a Sacred person, free of the illness of evil.

The Shaman is Sacred because they have firstly healed the evil within themselves completely, and this is why they already have the right to heal others too. Otherwise they have no right.

The Shaman devotes themselves to the Secrets of the energies that govern Life.

The Sacred Shaman is a Maestro in bringing the Energy to life, and aside from that, they also heal the relations of the person towards things, because the person, who is ill, does not have relations.

The Shaman knows the new energies which are concealed from the gaze of the world and the gaze of the person.

The Shaman is a Being of the Sacred, a Being of other worlds, and the ill person is a being of time.

The system of the Shaman is not mental, but Spiritual. They work in another dimension. They are able to heal, because they have destroyed their old world, called evil. They have been transfigured.

The Shaman thinks in a different way, lives in a different way, speaks in a different way – they are not of time.

The Shaman has discovered the Sacred, because they have sought their own True Sight.

The Shaman has the right to enter into the other world, and in this world they only seemingly live.

The Sacred has transfigured the Shaman, it has given them Eyes for a new Life.

The Shaman lives through the Sacred, Mystically, in the world of the spirits. They commune with a certain Secret Master and learn from Them in the same way as a son from a father.

The True Shaman  has the ability to gain insight of the Sacred Wisdom.

The Shaman is Initiated in the Sacred and from this, in them, a gushing life-creating Power pours out.

The Shaman passes through big sufferings, because this is required by the Sacred. After this Transfiguration, they can no longer be possessed by evil spirits, because they begin to live within the Sacred, within their old Secret.

Shamanism is the Primordial religion, the oldest religion in the world.

Shamanism leans more towards Mysticism than towards religion.

Shamanism is not merely a religion, it is an Approach – a Sacred Attitude towards the Secret of Life.

Whoever does not have a Sacred and Reverent Attitude towards the spirits, they become possessed by them.

Whoever has a Sacred Reverence towards things, they achieve their Spirit.

Hear the Sacred – it is like a whisper of the wind.

If you do not have the Sacred, you have been deprived of a Way.

If you think in a Sacred Way, you will not be human, but Light.

The Sacred gives the ability to see within what it Invisible and Imperceptible.

The child is taught from a young age to commune with the Sacred.

Every approaching Sunrise is a Sacred event.

Every day is Sacred because of the Light, which comes from the Great Secret.

All people are Sacred and must be revered.

If you are sincere, your understanding of the Sacred will grow.

All living Beings are Sacred.

Everything changes, but there are things which never change – they are the most Sacred.

Every day is Sacred.

I speak only with Sacred people, but they are not talkative.

Only the Pure and Sacred person carries within themselves the True Essence of civilisation.

There is no secret, there is only one Sacred Attitude.

Life is not entertainment, life is a Sacred Act.

Life begins and ends with the Sacred – with the Spirit within us.

Your Sacred Way is Invisible, but it is always next to you. You may not know where it leads, but you must follow it.

The Way, the Sacred Way – this is the Way towards the Great Secret, this is the Only Way.

If you are sincere, you will come to understand the Sacred things.

Because the Great Power is Sacred, this is why all Beings are Sacred as well.

The Sacred is the Way for the salvation of humankind.

The person is a person only when they are a Sacred person.

When the Shaman devotes themselves to the Sacred entirely, then they are granted a Spirit-Helper.

The main tuition of the Shaman was an education in the Sacred.

The Shaman lives in a Fiery land.

The Shaman has come to realise that the Light always shines within us.

The Shaman must pass through an Initiation, through Re-Creation, so that the spiritual powers within them may be reborn and the old person may die.

Shamans are Mystics, they study the Art of merging with the Essence of things.

One Native American says: “For me, Christ was a big Shaman. I see that He possessed a Pure Shamanic Power. I gained insight that His religion originated from the desert and the mountain, from the place where He lived”.

Shamans are the ones, whom the spirits serve.

The Shaman is a Being that communes with Supernatural Beings, through their own Spiritual Helpers.

Every Shaman is connected to One Single Being – their own Spirit-Helper – and from there, with everything else.

The True Shaman is devoted completely to their practices and research.

The Helper of the Shaman is incomparably more real that the spirits of the forces of nature, or than one evil spirit.

According to Shamans, the course of the person’s life is determined by spirits and everything around us has its spirit-masters. These spirit-masters can be influenced.

The Shaman has very Ancient notions of the person. The Shaman is a person who has a lot of experience and practices of old for connecting to the Supernatural Beings.

The Shaman has the ability to separate their Soul from their body.

The Shaman is a person in ecstatic exaltation, and this is an Inner Ascension.

The Shaman is a Being who has Great Reverence towards the spirits.

The awakening of the ecstatic state proves the Power of the Shaman and their connection to the other world.

If the Shaman is unable to penetrate into a certain sphere of the Universe, their Spirit-Helpers penetrate there.

For the Shaman the Ecstatic State is a Supreme kind of awe and elation. Before the Magnanimity of the Spirits, ordinary people will see only the ecstatic exaltation of the Shaman and they will not be able to understand what the matter is all about.

The Ecstatic State of the Shaman is a Great method. Here your consciousness is entirely engulfed by one Inner Image, because here, all other notions have been removed.

The Ecstatic State of the Shaman is ultimate concentration in the invisible sphere. They are focused in one particular invisible Essence or in their Spirit Helper.

The Ecstatic State of the Shaman is a kind of side state of the personality and an entering into the inner Inspiration.

The Ecstatic State is a peculiar state of Inspiration, though which they see and feel the spirits, because they live there – within Inspiration.

The Ecstatic State of the Shaman is an aware journeying in the realm of the spirits.

The Ecstatic State is an entering into the sphere of Sacred energy.

Everything that exists carries within itself its own wakan – its own life force or its Sacred Power.

There is one occurrence when a Native American woman devoted herself entirely to the Sacred, but a person with impure intentions made his way towards her to sully her. Then she sent him her wakan – her concealed inner Power – and he was engulfed in a mist. And when the mist ascended, only bones remained of him.

Everything in life is Sacred.

In rituals, the Ancient Sacred Time comes to life.

Only our Soul can tell us of wakan – of our Sacred Essence.

Along the Way of Reverence, within us, our Sacred Beginning comes to life.

The Sacred is the Essence of existence, but you must have sought it totally, diligently and continuously.

If we follow the Sacred, we will be kept safe from fatal mistakes and diversions.

The person of the Sacred stands above ordinary daily things.

Treat everything that is Sacred for others, with respect, regardless of whether you revere it yourself, or not.

Our life is filled with the feeling for the Sacred.
