Theos-Talk Archives (September 2005 Message tt00205)

As some have been discussing Mantra's etc, I thought I would pass on today's meditation from the Hopi Indians (I think). I hope you all enjoy.

Elder's Meditation of the Day September 15,2005
"Knowledge is a beautiful thing, but the using of
knowledge in a good way is what makes for wisdom.
Learning how to use knowledge in a sacred manner,
that's wisdom to me. And to me, that's what a true
Elder is."
--Sun Bear, CHIPPEWA
We grow in wisdom by developing ourselves according to
the four directions of the Medicine Wheel -
emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.
Let's say we started drinking and drugging in our
teenage years. Our emotional development will stop,
but we will grow older physically. We could then
develop into an immature adult. As adults we might be
acting like we were teenagers. Once we stop drinking
or drugging, our emotional development will begin
again. We need to grow and nurture ourselves in all
four directions. We need to involve the Great Spirit's
guidance in our development. That's the only way we
become wise individuals and live our lives in harmony
and in a sacred way.

Oh Great Spirit, guide my thinking today. Let me walk
in a sacred way on the Red Road. Let me be a learner
of lessons and give me Your greatest gift - wisdom!

SOMETHING EXTRA TO THINK ABOUT
Msit Nókmaq/All My Relations,
Learning from all of our goof ups is how we grow in
good ways. One does not throw gasoline on a pile of
wood when it is lit. Well maybe some will! This is why
we have teachers in our lives all the days we walk
this earth. We live, We learn, We grow, We teach.
Gitsch Manito-Creator,Wásóq-Spiritworld,
Thank you for all my teachings.
