Gifts Of The Earth Walkers on Thanksgiving

On this American Thanksgiving holiday It is an honor for me to share just one of the many teachings I have received from my Cherokee Elder Grandmother Pa'Ris'Ha over the last 20 years.  As a child of the forest in the Smoky Mountains these stories were told to her by her Grandmother. As 2012 creeps ever closer the intensity builds toward our transition into full consciousness.  I feel an urgency to reconnect to our Mother the Earth and show our appreciation now, and as the Cherokee say I come in Thanksgiving for the unconditional love and unwavering support of this amazing woman I call Grandmother.

 

 "The Old One said to me as I grew and became stronger, that the Principle that provides us the greatest abundance is Appreciation.  No matter what came, she made ceremonies of Thanksgiving to celebrate The Giver.  As with all Native people, the Cherokee celebrate Thanksgiving daily, not once a year.  With Grandmother, it was by the moment.  Our life was good and happiness was a constant.

The Principles of our dimension are simple and clear.  We, the two-legged People complicate everything to keep our pain, and to create more scarcity, we hoard.  There is no need on our Great Earth to have the present condition of hunger and poverty.  This is not real, nor is it true spirituality.  Spirit is limitless generosity, compassion and is the profound virtues.  Our Real nature is to express all of them, but many people today have altered the principles and are suffering.  I have heard this called the Ego.  For me it is simply that the balance is broken and needs only to be regained.  The Principles remain the same and we need only to flow with them.

When you try to make things happen, and are trying to control, stop.  Surrender.  Do not try to make it happen.  Let it happen.  All ends in Beauty.  Let it resonate to Harmony.  As you experience the Real Nature of your Being, the closer you emerge into the flow of the Principles.  With clear mind, pure and complete consciousness, we are in our natural state of spiritual essence.

Spiritual Essence is absolute potential.  As you discover and return to your true nature, you know who and what you are, and in that state of knowing is the power to fulfill all your dreams.  You realize you are the vast immeasurable potential of all that was, is and will ever be.  Look upon a clear night sky from a high place, and see the vastness.  Even this is small to the true immeasurable Principle of Potential around you.  You are in the One All Pervasive Spirit.  Great Spirit.  Your “Soul” is not in the Universe, the Universe is in your Soul!  To fully embrace this, we then understand that Potential is simply the expression from the unmanifest to the Manifest.  Then we have aligned our Being with the Forces that Manifest everything in this Universe.  The Third Dimension is the field of Manifestation.  Your Life role is to Manifest.  The Principles have been given to us and kept pure.

We “spend time” to return to the pure natural state of our Being, and allow harmony to return to our life.  Our moments are more valuable than gold or money.  Once passed, they are forever spent, we have exchanged them for life experience.

The Earth Mother is the true teacher of Abundance, and Prosperity.  Here, in her body, we manifest our thoughts.  Let us apply the Principles and see manifest all our Potential of Happiness, Health, and Wealth;  all that we desire can and is created.  The same Principles that are in nature, that create the forests, the Sun, the Stars, as well as our bodies, bring the manifest fulfillment of our true desires.

Our Whole Universe is simply Self folding back within itself to experience itself in Spirit, Mind, and Physical Being.  All creation is of the One.

As indigenous people we know that on the Beautiful Earth we are in the Fields of Plenty.  The Principle of Generosity is give and receive;  this taps into the unlimited potential.  In the Principle of Harmony or Karma we weave our Life blanket with the threads called thoughts, words and deeds.

The Principle of Freedom is total surrender from the need to control and resist.  The source is true faith and you will only have faith by being trustworthy.  To trust is to have effortless Health and Wealth.  With The Principle of Pure Intent, we exist in the reality of pure energy and to focus with clear intent will manifest all we desire.  You cannot make money, it happens.  It manifests from what you give time to.  If what you invest your time in is what you love to do, you will become wealthy.  Simple?  Yes, and profoundly true.

To release all our past limits and to open ourselves to Beauty is peaceful transition.  And we will truly know our purpose, our purpose being the message we came as in our birth.  Each of us are born as a clear messenger of the One.

In life, we are in the temporary sate of time.  Time millennium is where we are and life time is the only thing we spend here, every moment is a treasure.  Spend your moments well.

In the words of an Old One I called Grandmother, I found great Wisdom.  She said, “There are no hard times, just people who have lost the Vision.  Lift the veils of disbelief from your eyes, and you will see forever.”

Beloved people, wipe the life dust from your eyes.  Look at our Earth Mother.  She is an awesome gift of Beauty.  By love, you were given this opportunity to see her from high mountains and meadows adorned with flowers and trees.  You have not been punished and cast here.  You were trusted and honored by being sent here.  Life is a gift.  Treasure it.  It is passing quickly.  Live awakened, open yourself and let the Light of your Spirit shine.  Protect and be the guardians of the abundant treasures of our Mother Earth, so that our children will also know her and her Beauty.

You are of the Stars and you exist of Sky and Earth.  Beauty behind me, beauty before me, above me and below me.  Beauty to the left and right of me.  All returns to Beauty."
