Follow your HEART Talk

Sometimes we all need to take a step backwards, and think about what it is we are saying, or trying to say.
I have a very good friend in this space and time, and we have never met in person. His name is Doug, and he is The Hobo Prophet. He made a film with the help of my good friend Christopher Coppola. That film was titled "I Am", and is a testimony to the human spirit as seen through the eyes of Doug. It is there that I learned of this HEART TALK. Today I use it every day in some aspect or another. I encourage all who visit here to go to the link provided and become a student of "All For One".
The Prophet is a very humble man who, like many of us, has had his days of adversity. He has made a good name for himself, and is a model for one and all. You do not have to be like The Prophet. I will never advocate that type of being. I will tell you though that I have used Doug's method of thought, ie, HEART TALK, to get through my own adversities, and it works.
Thank you Hobo Prophet! From the bottom of my HEART TALKER.
Mitakuye Oyasin!

Some things just don't belong...

Some things just do not belong in some places. This is one of them there instances. If one looks at the goings on in the world today, there is an awful lot of that happening. Heyoka! The tricksters are out and powerful. A good friend has this statement that rings so true in these times. "There are no rules."

Open yourselves up to the possibilities of self governing. Reality tells us we need food, so learn how to grow it. You need clean water, so prepare by learning proper sterilization techniques. Learn how to build shelter. We are the hairless creatures, and need that protection.

And here is the best observation of reality. Don't go where you don't belong.

To Maga overheated 3 times going up to this delivery. She was a tired Peterbilt when she hit the barn that day.

Mitakuye Oyasin! Aho!

Reflection

Reflection on the way of things is hard to do. When one goes it alone for a while, they see things that most do not. Through desensitization our species are as cattle to slaughter. But take the time to get away from the rhetoric and a new light illuminates the world. Free thinking is the way to freedom.

We as a species are lost. Money, politics, & possessions are the things that blurr our vision of this wonderful world. In this photo, I hiked 1000 feet up to get away from it for a little while. But no matter where I looked, there was man. Dominating the planet as he has done so well in history. It saddens me to think that this is how we treat our home. How?

Resource elimination. Murder. Rape. Theft. Elections. Foreclosures. Repossession. Class distinction. Religion.

These are just the few that come right to mind. Now think of the ability to live without the structure of society. Have we lost our way?

I, for the first time in my life had to choose to either spend my hard earned money for gasoline to get to work to make money to get to work, or give up a meal or two. I gave up the meal.

The Government that I pay taxes to, has made this country into a lost dog searching for a place to call home. From door to door he goes, looking only for a safe place to rest his head, and eat a meal. Hungry and lonely is that dog.

We have a leadership that is running rampant in the world. Lying to it's citizens in order to achieve it's objectives. Profiteers and Corporate Heads running the world as if it BELONGED to them. While at the same time, all the money I am making as a taxpaying contributor to the corporation called The United States Of America, is only paying for gasoline to get to work to buy more gasoline.

SOMETHING IS BROKEN, AND IT'S GOING TO KILL US ALL!

WAKE UP HUMANS! Feed yourselves. Not the machine.

As a species we better learn to garden, and can food. We better learn how to clean water to drink. We better get used to walking a long way to get something we need. But most importantly, we better get used to helping those who need it. Not just kicking that dog off the porch.

If I am hungry, who will feed me? ME! That's who.

Times are changing. And it's not going to be pretty when the repair is realized. Repair what, you might ask? Humanity.

Those of you who still have hope in humanity, need to be the example. I try and set the example, but I am but one of 6 billion.

Our Creator will be paying us, as a species, a visit very soon. How will you a an individual be able to answer the questions that will be asked. I know I will be guiltless. I will continue to pray for help. I will keep an open mind of universal things that have to do with us as a species.

And as a parting shot, think about this.

I will be giving up many meals to feed the machine, only because I have no choice at this time. Like minds need to band together. Unfortunately I stand alone.

Mitakuye Oyasin!

On My Hamblec'a Tomarrow

OK everyone. I'm leaving for Hamblec'a tomorrow, and it will be about a week before you see me out here in cyber space again.
To all who visit here...Thank you so much for the encouragement you provide me in your kind words.
That would be Doug and The Monkey.
See you when I return, and I'll tell you what I can.
Mitakuye Oyasin! Aho!

600 of 700 DONE!

Well May is almost gone, and June brings Hamblec'a. These are prayer ties. We use each of the seven sacred colors and cut out little patches of cloth. Inside the cloth is a small amount of tobacco. The patches are tied shut with the tobacco inside them, and we make a string of 100 of each color. These are used to protect me while I sit on the hill and pray for 4 days. No food or drink during that time. Very intense, very solom.

My friend Roberto Codato will be here on June 8th, and we will immediatly leave for Porcupine South Dakota. There we will be doing an Inipi Ceremony every day for four days, and then I will go on that hill. Funny thing. It's my 45th birthday on the day I go up on that hill. June 12th. Roberto will be my fire keeper during that time. The fire must stay lit for the entire four days, and he'll keep me good in that respect.

I'll try and send a posting to CRC whilst I am up at South Dakota, but you'll not hear from me while I am on the hill. There it is just me, and The Creator, Tunkas'ila.

Mitakuye Oyasin!

More Is Better

I'm weeks away from going on Hamblec'a. (Vision Quest) There are alot of medicines needed for this important 4 day ceremony. Sage is a key element. Now my Fireman, Roberto, sent me 18 pounds of White Sage from California, that I have tied into smudge sticks and dried. This is Spear Sage from my neck of the woods that we use at Inipi Ceremony, Sun Dance, and Hamblec'a.

A good friend, Jenny, has donated this sage for my Hamblec'a, and I am sure I will be gifting it to others who may not have access to it.

I have layed it out here to dry in the sun. Soon, I will be praying on a hill in South Dakota under a bed of this sage. In our spiritual belief, sage keeps the "Bad Spirits" away. They cannot stand the stuff. This allows the one crying for the vision to be surrounded by the Spirits that will give them their vision, and not harm them.

Hamblec'a is the perlude to Sun Dance, and in August this healing ceremony will begin. I hope to be there in whatever capacity thet the Spirits deem necessary. Be it as a supporter, or the grand privilage of dancing The Sun Dance.

Mitakuye Oyasin! Aho!

From Another Time

I was at the quarry today and this was in the bottom of the pit. Look at it compared to the size of my glove.

This is the fossalized footprint of a Dinosaure. No kidding. I brought it home as a conversation piece, and I am sure it will be with me for a life time. That is just a blink of time considering how long it has been buried. Millions of years! The darned thing was not easy to get either. It was in the ground about 15 feet down and beneath a layer of rock called Cherokee Stone. Where I live is along the front range of the Rocky Mountains. Our quarry is in the foothills, and that my friends, back in the days of the Dinosaure was an inland sea coast. The Dinosaures roamed the banks of the sea, and left us this reminder of the time that humans were not. So next time someone wants to give you the old bible thump about no dinosaures ever existing? Well the proof is in the pudding. One of the toes actually shows skin wrinkles. AMAZING!
