Life is a journey. Life is a gift. It is very much like a rose garden, with fragrant flowers abounding. But there are always the thorns. Be careful tending the roses in your garden. Wear gloves, if necessary. If you don’t, pay keen attention to what you are doing. Though the thorns exist, you needn't be pricked by them. They will not attack you. It is only the result of your own negligence that will find you bleeding. Simple awareness will avoid this. In the absence of being skewered by thorns, a journey in a rose garden is a most pleasant experience. So proceed with care-- and enjoy the garden which is your life.

May the sun shine upon and within you…
Always!

A message from the Hopi Elders about 2012



You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.
Now you must go back and tell the people that this is The Hour.
Here are the things that must be considered:
Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know our garden.
It is time to speak your Truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader.

This could be a good time!

There is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid.
They will try to hold on to the shore.
They will feel like they are being torn apart, and they will suffer greatly.

Know the river has its destination.

The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off toward the middle of
the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water.

See who is there with you and celebrate.

At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all
ourselves ! For the moment we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.

The time of the lonely wolf is over.
Gather yourselves!

Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary.

All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

We are the ones we have been waiting for

Mensaje de los Ancianos Hopi sobre el 2012



Ustedes le han estado diciendo a la gente que esta es la Onceaba Hora.

Ahora deben volver a la gente y decirles que esta es La Hora.

Estas son las cuestiones que deben ser contempladas:

¿Dónde estás viviendo?
¿Qué estás haciendo?
¿Cuales son tus relaciones?
¿Estás en relación correcta?
¿Dónde está tu agua?

Conoce tu jardín.

Es el tiempo de hablar la Verdad.

Crea tu comunidad.

Sean buenos los unos con los otros.

Y no busques por fuera de ti por un líder.

¡Este podría ser un buen momento!

Hay un río fluyendo muy rapidamente.

Es tan grandioso y suave que mucha gente podrá estar asustada.

Tratarán de aferrase a las orillas.

Sentirán como si los están arrancando y sufrirán enormemente.

Sepan que este río tiene su destino.

Los ancianos dicen que debemos soltarnos de la orilla, y empujarnos hacia el centro del río, mantener los ojos abiertos, y nuestra cabeza por encima del agua.
Mirar quien está allí contigo y celebrar.

En este momento de la historia, no debemos tomarnos nada personalmente, sobre todo a nosotros mismos! Pues en el momento en que lo hacemos, nuestro crecimiento y camino espiritual llegan a un alto en el camino.

Ya pasó el tiempo del lobo solitario.

¡Reúnanse!

Desaparece la palabra lucha de tu actitud y tu vocabulario.

Todo lo que hacemos ahora lo debemos hacer de manera sagrada y en celebración.

Nosotros somos por los que hemos estado esperando.

A story


A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert

During some point of the Journey they had an Argument,

And one friend slapped the other one in the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything,

wrote in the sand:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE .


They kept on walking until they found an oasis,

where they decided

to take a bath.the one who had been slapped

got stuck in the mire and started drowning,

but the friend saved him. After he recovere

from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend

asked him, "After I hurt you,you wrote in the sand and now,

you write on a stone, why?"The other friend replied

"When someone hurts us we should write it down

in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.

But, when someone does something good for us,

we must engrave it in stone where no wind

can ever erase it."

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND

AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE!!!

They say it takes a minute to find a special person,

An hour to

appreciate them, a day

to love them, but then

an entire life to forget them.



Take the time to live! Do not value the THINGS

you have in your life. But value WHO you have

In your life!

NATIVE AMERICAN CODE OF ETHICS





1. Rise with the sun to pray.
Pray alone.
Pray often.
The Great Spirit will listen, if you only speak.

2. Be tolerant of those who are lost on their path. Ignorance, conceit, anger, jealousy and greed stem from a lost soul. Pray that they will find guidance.

3. Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow others to make your path for you. It is your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.

4. Treat the guests in your home with much consideration. Serve them the best food, give them the best bed and treat them with respect and honor.

5. Do not take what is not yours whether from a person, a community,the wilderness or from a culture. It was not earned nor given. It is not yours.

6. Respect all things that are placed upon this earth - whether it be people or plant.

7. Honor other people's thoughts, wishes and words. Never interrupt another or mock or rudely mimic them. Allow each person the right to personal expression.

8. Never speak of others in a bad way. The negative energy that you put out into the universe will multiply when it returns to you.

9. All persons make mistakes. And all mistakes can be forgiven.

10. Bad thoughts cause illness of the mind, body and spirit. Practice optimism.

11. Nature is not FOR us, it is a PART of us. They are part of your worldly family.

12. Children are the seeds of our future. Plant love in their hearts and water them with wisdom and life's lessons. When they are grown, give them space to grow.

13. Avoid hurting the hearts of others. The poison of your pain will return to you.

14. Be truthful at all times. Honesty is the test of one's will within this universe.

15. Keep yourself balanced. Your Mental self, Spiritual self, Emotional self, and Physical self - all need to be strong, pure and healthy. Work out the body to strengthen the mind. Grow rich in spirit to cure emotional ails.

16. Make conscious decisions as to who you will be and how you will react. Be responsible for your own actions.

17. Respect the privacy and personal space of others. Do not touch the personal property of others - especially sacred and religious objects. This is forbidden.

18. Be true to yourself first. You cannot nurture and help others if you cannot nurture and help yourself first.

19. Respect others religious beliefs. Do not force your belief on others.

20. Share your good fortune with others. Participate in charity.
