We were once Warriors, do you remember those times?

We had booked a day hike in the Rockies.  I was on a bus on the way to Banff in Alberta, Canada.  I was looking outside the window and I could see the Mountain and river.  The air and energy was pure and there was honesty in the landscape, as nature cannot lie.  I had a sense of being there before and maybe that is why I imagined with such ease regarding the first peoples of that nation.  They lived within the natural laws of the land and The Great Spirit. They understood the importance of this and this helped them on a personal level and as a community. That is how they survived for thousands of years. As I looked at the landscape I would start to imagine a native tribe from many years ago living by the water.  With these people there was a sense of contentment, happiness and community. 

There is always that bit of mystery and magic in the landscape, inspiring so many writers, poets and artists throughout history including shamans, healers and truth seekers.  As nature casts its spell of wonder, majesty and beckons us to understand its secrets.  It invites us to play, be adventurous and see its beauty and wonder.  Many of the great masters in different fields knew this.  For even a bit of gardening can shift how you feel and for the better.  It is interesting that most of nature is green, different shades and different intensities, and so is the heart chakra.  When we come from our heart of sincerity and truth like nature we become more whole and healed.   

The bus had slowed down like the mind sometimes needs to slow down and be quiet for a while.  It was then I spotted the biggest majestic bird I had ever seen.

The bird flew down from one of the highest branches of a tree, a tree that stood firm but flexible, steady and stable.   

This bird had the largest wingspan I had ever seen.  I don’t think it was an eagle as that would be just cliche and the color was not exactly like that of the eagle.  The bird had a message to share from the Great Spirit, how could that be?  Many secrets for the curious, open minded and open hearted.  The bird would start to speak to me in a way only few can understand.

Many years ago when the natives lived by the mountains and rivers they would listen to the Great Spirit as it had knowledge and wisdom to help.  To how to live on this earth in a balanced and just way, to understand we live in a world of dimensions for how the spirit conveys what it needs to.  Through the mind it is understood.  The language of trees, the language of birds and animals, the language of the ethereal.  That is why they were wise warriors and we were wise once too.  They would take advice and counsel from the wiser ones in their tribe and from the Great Spirit.  They would sit in silence, to quiet the mind to get the getting of wisdom and all just to help them so.  They knew they had to practice this as it would help them so.   

In those days they lived by the river that was clean and provided them with sustenance and they would bath in the waters using authentic rituals and with practice they would live by the laws of the Spirit.  To practice mindfulness and awareness takes time and with the choice to do so.

Time is of the essence, don’t you understand.   I wondered what some of those laws would be.  To take only what you need, to look after mother earth, respect self, others and many things I suppose.   If you don’t know how to do that, be savvy and do some research.  For the Great Spirit is everywhere and knows many languages, different belief systems and in many different ways.   There are many amongst the human race who think they can outwit the Great Spirit and fool many and so many of them try as they are the ignorant and sadder ones.  They do not understand Universal Laws and Laws of the Earth and all just for the better of us.
