Smudging
There are a lot of reasons why we should smudge and that it is a good thing to smudge, either with one of the sacred herbs or all of them together.
In the first place, tobacco (a-say-ma) was a gift of the Spirits of the Four Directions. It was the father of Nanabush who gave the tobacco (ah-say-ma) and shared the custom of smoking with his son after their epic battle in war, as a symbol of peace. Nanabush in turn passed on the custom to the Anishnabe as a…

Standing on the shores of Thunder Bay at the head of the great Lake Superior, one can perceive, on looking out across the waters of Thunder Bay, a great land formation situated directly in the mouth of the Bay.
It requires no imagination whatever to see that this form resembles the sleeping body of a giant, arms folded across his massive chest as in the majesty of death.
Mystery and legend surround the origin of this strange phenomenon of nature and down through the ages…

The struggle of the poet, is to express the unseen and say the un-sayable.
The Buddhas / Enlightened Ones / Prophets by Osho
"The Buddha or The Christ cannot be created, because the Buddha is your intrinsic nature, it need not be created. It has not to be developed either, it is already there, it is already the case, it has only to be unfolded; it has to be discovered.
The treasure is there, you have to find the key to unlock the door. The…

"The Moving Finger writes: and, having writ,
Moves on; all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."

MUSIC AMONG SUFIS
Music is called Ghiza-i-ruh, the food of the soul, by Sufis. Music being the most divine art elevates the soul to the higher spirit; music itself being unseen soon reaches the unseen; just as only the diamond can break the diamond, so musical vibrations are used to make the physical and mental vibrations inactive, in order that the Sufi may be elevated to the spiritual spheres.
Music consists of vibrations which have involved from the top to…

(This blog was written by my friend Jake, another one of the Twelve.)
Today is the International Day of Peace. Based on a U.N. Resolution in 1982, “Peace Day” is gaining increased recognition worldwide. There are events, activities and celebrations. But even more important, there are lives being saved. This year, believe it or not, tens of thousands of soldiers took a break from killing: the Taliban, NATO and U.S. forces pledged to a cease-fire on this day.
As U.S.…

The poling that shows the candidates running neck and neck boggles my mind. What in the name of common sense are the citizens of this country thinking? After 8 disastrous years, including an ill-advised, immoral war with Iraq that has cost our country to date the loss of 4,155 U.S. Military Personnel (Officially acknowledged) in the U.S. War And Occupation Of Iraq . And 1,255,026 of Iraqi’s Slaughtered in the US War And Occupation Of Iraq. And millions of more Iraqi’s displaced and living in…

Promise yourself—INSPIRATION
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind;
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet;
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them;
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true;
To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best;
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your…

The guidelines, listed below as suggested by IPeace for forum discussions are reasonable. I will do my best to abide by them.
At this point in the development of
Creating A World Community, I have offered that people should go one step further and in fact "honor" one another's views, beliefs and "truths" as you have termed them.
I have offered to allow the community to choose,…

Words are insufficient where the music of this Gospel singer begins

through the traditions of gospel music choirs.

Assise sur un banc
Dans un jardin d'enfants
Je les regarde s'amuser
A leurs jeux sans méchanceté
Je me demande comment
Ils perdent cette innocence en grandissant
Je me demande pourquoi
Les adultes leur font perdre cette joie
Les adultes sont égoïstes et méchants
Les enfants sont gentils et innocents
Gardez dans vos cœurs
Ces moments passés de bonheur
Ne laissez pas ce monde
Faire de vous des gens immondes
Les contes de…
