Grandfather Peter's Prayer for Today

GRANDFATHER’S PRAYER FOR TODAY.

My Creator may help me to keep an open mind and loving heart and when I am ready

“Teach Me”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


When we are young we have a tendency to think we know everything and take the view that those older than ourselves are just “old fogies”. But sometimes we never change and think when we are older we know everything and get set in our ways.

When the realisation comes that we do not know everything we become “teachable”. There is a lot of truth in the old saying, “when the student is ready the teacher appears”. The ancestors are always ready to help and to teach, but we can only hear them when we show humility, respect and are ready to listen. We are then ready for the spiritual lessons to help us grow.



"When you get older and you are ready, your ancestors will show up to guide you."

(Joe Coyhis, Stockbridge-Munsee)

Grandfather Peter's Prayer for Today

GRANDFATHER’S PRAYER FOR TODAY
My Creator let us all remember “We are all one Tribe” and without equality, unity, for eternity we will repeat the mistakes of the past.

From the 1927 Grand Council of American Indians

"The white people, who are trying to make us over into their image, they want us to be what they call "assimilated," bringing the Indians into the mainstream and destroying our own way of life and our own cultural patterns. They believe we should be contented like those whose concept of happiness is materialistic and greedy, which is very different from our way.We want freedom from the white man rather than to be integrated.
We don't want any part of the establishment, we want to be free to raise our children in our religion, in our ways, to be able to hunt and fish and live in peace.We don't want power, we don't want to be congressmen, or bankers....we want to be ourselves. We want to have our heritage, because we are the owners of this land and because we belong here.The white man says, there is freedom and justice for all.
We have had "freedom and justice," and that is why we have been almost exterminated.
We shall not forget this."

The souce of all religion

THE SOURCE OF ALL CREATION

IN THE ORIGINAL RELIGION.


The story of Creation from the early Stone Age reveals the source of all religion. If we return to the source we can again connect ourselves with the healing and unifying powers of the Universe. This places us in the right relationship to the Whole. This place is our very own centre in which we are the children of the Earth and the Sun, and be able to live in harmony with the visible and the invisible. The people of the early Stone Age understood and experienced their lives as an integral part of the family of creation amidst all things on the Earth, the plants, the stones and the animals. These relationships allowed them to access freely all powers contained within the Sacred Circle of Life.

Its caretakers, The Native American Shamans, are revealing the primeval religion at this time. It should not be misinterpreted as a super- imposition of their philosophy and way of life on our culture. Their duty was to keep the ancient wisdom within their campfires and to pass it on when the time was right. This time is now. But it was not only Native American wisdom that was to be passed on at this time. Their wisdom was common knowledge to all people at that time, for it is the wisdom from the SOURCE.

In the early religion, the story of creation employs the image of a circle, which possesses the power to cleanse all dogmatic religions of their false and incomplete doctrines. This true religion represents the intact power of reality for us who live in the modern world of separateness, tensions and countless contradictions. It is the natural way for us to explore as it opens up naturally our personal relationship with the Whole and to discover our origin without preconceived ideas and dogmas. Religions that set up dogmas have always needed to rationally explain and prove themselves. It is as if they have to justify their beliefs at the expense of others. Just think about the Crusades or the Inquisition.

If we try to understand the early Stone Age wisdom and the Medicine Wheel as well as ancient Shamanism with only the help of our rational modernistic minds we would fall back into this dogmatic religion and would be unable to honour and respect its oneness and universality. Only when we start to reawaken the fourfold powers of our consciousness will we be able to live in harmony with these forces. These four forces, powers or paths mark our relationship with reality and enable us to be centred within ourselves.

These four paths are commonly referred in Shamanic terms as the Sacred Four and can be seen on the Medicine Wheel above.

: The path of the East is the power of the SPIRIT

: The path of the West is the power of the Will and Body

: The path of the South is the power of the Emotions.

: The path of the North is the power of the Mind

Each one is considered sacred because it heals and leads us to the Whole.

The power of the Medicine Wheel, wherein the sacred four leads us to the centre and the Whole, and outwards to every direction helps us to become whole and completely unfold our consciousness. It is power or medicine to enable us to re-connect the two halves of our brain: the left side that carries our sensory data and governs our waking state, and the right side that produces our dreams and governs our instincts.

The Medicine Wheel lifts the two “homilies” of evolution to a new plane of consciousness by bring together “Homo Fabians” and “Homo Sapiens” resulting in “Homo Divinians”

One of their major lessons in life is to "Love to Learn and Learn to Love".Salmon/Sturgeon people are born leaders and love to be the centre of attention. They are active, powerful, courageous, but also having a playful side. They will try their hardest to avoid confrontations, but will fight when cornered.

Grandfather’s Pray for Today

Thank you my Creator for allowing me ……

TO WALK THE RED ROAD

Creators Blessings.

Long road winding began in the stars,

spilled onto the mountain tops,

was carried in the snow to the streams,

to the rivers, to the ocean…

It covers Canada, Alaska, America,

Mexico to Guatemala,

and keeps winding around the indigenous peoples.

The Red Road is a circle of people

standing hand in hand,

people in this world, people between

people in the Spirit world.

star people, animal people, stone people,

river people, tree people…

The Sacred Hoop.

To walk the Red Road

is to know sacrifice, suffering.

It is to understand humility.

It is the ability to stand naked before the Creator of all things,for your wrong doings,

for your lack of strength,

for your uncompassionate way,

for your arrogance - because to walk

the Red Road, you always know

you can do better. And you know,

when you do good things,

it is through the Creator, and you are grateful.

To walk the Red Road

is to know you stand on equal ground

with all living things. It is to know that

because you were born human,

it gives you superiority over nothing.

It is to know that every creation carries a Spirit,

and the river knows more than you do,

the mountains know more than you do,

the stone people know more than you do,

the trees know more than you do,

the winds are wiser than you are,

and animal people carry wisdom.

You can learn from every one of them,

because they have something you don’t:

They are void of evil thoughts.

They wish vengeance on no one, they seek Justice.

To Walk the Red Road,

you have God given rights,

you have the right to pray,

you have the right to dance,

you have the right to think,

you have the right to protect,

you have the right to know the Great Mother,

you have the right to dream,

you have the right to vision,

you have the right to teach,

you have the right to learn,

you have the right to understand,

you have a right to grieve,

you have a right to happiness,

you have the right to fix the wrongs,

you have the right to truth,

you have a right to the Spirit World.

To Walk the Red Road

is to know your Ancestors,

to call to them for assistance…

It is to know that there is good medicine,

and there is bad medicine…

It is to know that Evil exists,

but is cowardly as it is often in disguise.

It is to know there are evil spirits

who are in constant watch

for a way to gain strength for themselves

at the expense of you.

To Walk the Red Road,

you have less fear of being wrong,

because you know that life is a journey,

a step by step process,

a continuous circle, a sacred hoop.

Mistakes will be made,

and mistakes can be corrected -

if you will be humble,

for if you cannot be humble,

you will never know

when you have made a mistake.

If you walk the Red Road,

you know that every sorrow

leads to a better understanding,

every horror cannot be explained,

but can offer growth.

To Walk the Red Road

is to look for beauty in all things.

To Walk the Red Road

is to know you will one day,

cross to the Spirit World, and you will not be afraid…

for your sacred journey will continue,

On the Blue Road
