And when you call things rubbish that you don`t understand, then what DO you expect to hear?
And to be spiritually awakened, one must repent and have a relationship with the Creator. He shows the way.
You say it, but do you practice it, or even understand it?

LOL! Anything that isn't Scripture is rubbish. I do understand, my good sir. The question is: Do YOU understand? I can doubt you as quick as you can doubt me.

Who are these wisdom keepers ( the name makes me suspicious automatically, forgive me my cynicism) ? Who do they represent? Any specific native american tribes?

Scripture isn't a game, my friend. It's all the Truth I need.
If you deem this as narrow thinking, then I agree with you.
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
Matthew 7:13-14

OT:
Find truth within yourself, not in a book. When one believes that all lifes answers are neatly wrapped up and packaged into one book, then yes, it`s not a game, it`s a denial of the truth within.
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

So now, scripture says that being narrow minded is ok? That`s how you interpret that? All I can say is.....wow, that`s a first. Without being narrow minded, one could also take that as saying, you will only find the truth to life within yourself, and those seeking it outside the self, will fail. That small gate, the mind to be opened, and the narrow road, that path within each of us.

No forgiveness needed my friend. All of us should be questioned from time to time, I'm no exception. Your comments have made the path of our conversation here possible and that is a good thing. We are opening our hearts and minds to each other. No small task.
To fill you in on myself, there are different types of shamanic practice and what I do is journeying/healing work. I do not deal in soul retrieval, prophecy or contacting the dead. Call me a glorified herbalist. I am a low-level shaman if you will, others perform far more difficult tasks than I. Even though I have 20 years of study there are things I am not yet ready for. Apprenticeships take a lifetime and I count myself very fortunate to have the teacher that I do.
Some of the questions I asked weren't so much for myself but for others. I was trying to address what I thought the typical questions a non-tribal person might have. I do that from time to time, call me dumb but sometimes it;s the obvious questions that people are afraid to ask. It can also be helpful in a teaching environment and allows the teacher to expand on basics without anyone having to feel stupid for asking.
We're all in the mess together, Red/White/Black/yellow. More than anything I would love to see the world come together in common understanding and peace. We should all work towards that end but I'm afraid if we begin to expect it (particularly soon) then we might be inclined to take it easy and not do the work since we think it's coming anyway.
To be honest I have not been in contact with my tribal elders for some time as we have had some differences of opinion. Politics exist everywhere, even amongst the indigenous peoples. In my heart they are still my people and will always be, the Ho-de-no-sau-nee, the People of the Longhouse.
PS - re-reading some of my comments, I WAS arrogant, especially the "I could say it all in 3 minutes". I needed that correction. Thanks
Respectfully, ATA

Those are facts FiatLux.
I don't need to show the proof, the woman that made those outlandish statements needs to show the proof. Or... do you just believe every person that comes up to you and tells you they have seen an invention that exists and can power the whole world, or that they have seen the ARK of the Covenant which millions of people have sought and never found.
She says she personally saw it, but if you go to the place where she says she saw the ARK of the Covenant, then you will realize that those people let no one in that building except the one man. The place is gaurded by machine guns and no one gets in to see the ARK of the Covenant; that is if it really does exist there.
Who are you FiatLux? You come from out of nowhere beating your pans and dishes like you are the woman in the video that is telling all of her lies.
Let this woman that spreads all of these lies show us some photos to give us proof that she has seen these things. Otherwise she can stop spreading lies, and you can stop helping her spread lies.
If you are so sure she is not lying, then YOU get some proof that she is not lying. You FiatLux cannot provide any proof that she is not lying, if you can, then let us see the proof FiatLux, or stop your defensive posts of a woman that is lying with no proof, no pictures and no videos to back up her and YOUR BS.
Show us this machine that can power the world FiatLux. Show us the ARK of the Covenant. Stop your BS posts that you believe in this fairy tale woman.
