Lesson 5 - Story - Pondering - Meditation


My thoughts on “The Hunter and Selu” story:

To me this message is one that tells the tale of human doubt and disappointment and how we allow it to manifest itself through our emotions.  When we try something and fail we become disappointed and begin to expel those energies out and like attracts like and they tend to repeat themselves because we have lost our belief and/or self-confidence.  Many times in dream state the Ancestors, Spirit Guides, Deity and Totems will reach out to us and offer guidance.  We wake from these dreams and either don’t recall them or dismiss them most of the time.  It is when we listen and follow the guidance that has been gifted to us that we begin to see a change take place, a change in our view, our emotions and our confidence.  Being blessed by guidance we should show thankfulness and share what we reap, be it corn, information, or joy.

Pondering:  The pondering relates to the story.   I have said many times that the only failure one faces in life is the one that one creates.  We are powerful beings and have the ability to create whatever it is we wish in this life, our downfall is self-doubt or broken will.  Both of which we allowed to happen by our choices in the situations presented.  One must heal from this by forgiving self for giving up.  There is always another option that we could explore.  By forgiving self it allows us to become open and attentive again and able to tap into the wondrous resources both around and within us, including our Guides and Ancestors.   Believing in self is honoring that guidance.  Trusting that guidance and acting upon it is the steps of creation.

Meditation:  A great reminder to smell the roses.  The majority of the Human race gets caught up in the illusions of the mundane.  Getting caught up in the rat race is one of the biggest.  This stifles our awareness and creates illusion walls that block us from true self, our joy, our peace and our spiritual growth.   We become disconnected.  It is like the mind, it has been allowed to run random, always moving in random thoughts, this blocks/interferes with focus.  It isn’t until we quiet the mind and become reconnected with the all that stillness takes place, through this we gain peace and joy, guidance and knowledge.  Bringing this to a conscious active state is reconnecting with the keys and elements around us.  Finding that balance between both worlds is when true stillness and creations are experienced.  So stop for a moment and take in the fragrances of nature, or spirit, of all that is nourishing to the soul.  Breath !
