I
hope you enjoy and learn a lot from the pages here on my website.
Remember that I am sharing my wisdom in the form of information. All information
needs to be understood before it becomes knowledge, therefore I am available
24/7 to be contacted in numerous ways throughout this website and forum to give
advice, if I can, and to answer any questions, concerns, or uncertainties about
any of the material here. However for knowledge to become wisdom it must be put
into practice in every aspect of living, every minute of every day.
It is my hope that everyone who comes across this website will do exactly that,
and as the true wisdom of humanity increases we can learn, or relearn how to
live in harmony with Great Spirit, God, or whatever you call the highest power
and creator of life; Mother Earth, the giver of all our manifestation and
physical bodies; and ‘All Our Relations’ (see Mitakuye
Oyasin page, the explanation of which is similar to Namaste’ and In
Lakesh.).

'The Urban
Shaman'
By: Serge Kahili King
IKE - Reality is what we think it is.
(Awareness)
Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you're right. Positive thoughts attract positive people and events. Negative thoughts attract negative people and events. Everything is a dream. All systems of thought are good, which ever works for you.
Be aware of your thoughts as they create your reality.
SEEING FROM A VIEWPOINT, NOT YOUR EYES.
KALA - There are no limits.
(Freedom)
Anything is possible. Filtered limitations imposed by ideas and beliefs that inhibit creativity generate focus without potential for positive action. Everything is
connected.
CLEARING PATHS, KEEPING PARTS CONNECTED. BE CONSCIOUS OF ALL POSSIBILITIES
MAKIA - Energy flows where attention goes.
(Focus)
Argue your limitations and sure enough they’re yours. Meditation and hypnosis are sustained focused attention. High energy
e.g.: loud noise attracts attention and stress.
FOCUSING ON INTENTIONS, GOALS AND THE BIG PICTURE FOR HIGH EFFICIENCY AND LOW FRUSTRATION.
MANAWA - The moment of power is now.
(Persistence)
Power increases with sensory attention, unless present is dangerous. Everything is relative (Day, Month, Year can all be now). Thoughts now effect reactions now. Bringing past or future into
the present means you can change them. The FUTURE is not written, so why worry. The true PAST is locked in the cellular
memory or subconscious.
PRESENCE BRINGS EFFECTIVENESS
ALOHA - (LOVE) To love is to be happy with...
(Love)
Aloha means “To share, here and now, an experience of affection or joy”. Love increases as judgment and criticism decreases. Everything is alive (moves), some slowly, like
rocks; some fast, like light. Therefore everything is responsive, so act respectfully. Criticism separates you from now; praise connects you to now. If you are criticised, nullify it by praising yourself. Keep in touch with the trickster energy of the Creator.
Be happy with whoever you are;
whatever you have;
and whatever you are doing at this
present moment because everything is sacred.
BLESSING AND PRAISING ALL THINGS, INCLUDING THE
PAST AND THE
FUTURE.
MANA - All power comes from within.
(Confidence)
No one else and nothing else can make you happy. All things are alive and have equal power. Power comes from authority, whether you give it to others or yourself. Speaking with authority means speaking with confidence that your words will produce results. Herein lies the secret of the power of prayer, blessing, spells and affirmations.
EMPOWERING BY PERSONIFYING.
PONO - Effectiveness is the measure of truth.
(Flexibility and Wisdom)
BE FLEXIBLE. The means (methods) determines the end. Violent means produce violent results. There is always another way to do anything,
and
you never know a different way may produce a better result. e.g.: If physical approach doesn’t work, try mental or emotional. If confrontation approach doesn’t work, try cooperative.
DREAM WEAVING OR SHAMANIC HEALING DOESN’T DEPEND ON PHYSICAL TECHNIQUE, BUT ON HAVING A HEALING ATTITUDE, MENTALLY AND OR PHYSICALLY.
Also note K.I.S.S. Keep it simple and stupid.
Simple so that everyone can understand and therefore share. Stupid, firstly because of the trickster aspect of the Creator. Secondly so that those who don’t understand can’t attack you if they think you are just stupid.
The Spiritual Path (From: ‘Earth
People’ Volume 1 Number 6 )

Breath of life

Awakening to the path.
Concentration
Aspiration:Inner cry, opposite to desire.
Meditation
Simplicity:
Simplicity is my life-long friend. My simplicity-friend has cut down my desire-tree. (By: Sri
Chinmoy)
Sincerity:
Sincerity is my life-long friend. My sincerity-friend has snapped my guilt-conscious-chain. Be sincere in your thoughts; be pure in your feeling. You will not have to run after happiness, happiness will run after you (By: Sri
Chinmoy)
Humility:
Humility is the real secret of the spiritual life. When we embody humility, we neither underestimate nor overestimate our life… Real humility is the expansion of our consciousness. It is the God-life within us. The higher we go, the more light we receive by virtue of our humility, and the more we have to offer humanity.
When you really have something to offer to the world, then you can become truly humble. A tree, when it has no fruit to offer, remains erect. But when the tree is laden with fruit, it bends down. If you are all pride and ego, then nobody will be able to get anything worthwhile from you. When you have genuine humility, it is a sign that you have something to offer mankind. (By: Sri
Chinmoy)
Contemplation
Love:
Spiritual love, unconditional love is the meaning of life.
Devotion:
To all of yourself; body, mind, and soul; and to all other beings (All Our Relations). To do the best you can regardless of the result. This is the secret of life.
Surrender:
Of your lower, negative self to your higher, positive self. Not giving up. This is the goal of life.
Realisation
Oneness:
Is when you are constantly aware of the oneness of the finite of man and matter, and the infinite of God and the universe of spirit
