Sir John Strange; Here lies an honest lawyer, And that is Strange.
-- Tombstone in England
I was somebody. Who, is no business Of yours.
-- Vermont
As the flowers are all made sweeter by the sunshine and the dew, So this old world is made brighter by the lives Of folks like you.
-- Bonnie Parker (Bonnie and Clyde)
Here lies Lester Moore; Four slugs from a .44; No Les No More.
-- Tombstone Arizona
John Brown is filling his last cavity.
-- Dentist's Tombstone
I told you that I was sick!
-- Georgia Cemetary, USA
Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake; Stepped on the gas instead of the brake.
-- Pennsylvania Tombstone, USA
Remember man, as you walk by, As you are now, so once was I, As I am now, so shall you be, Remember this and follow me.
-- Tombstone in England
To follow you I'll not consent, Until I know which way you went.
-- Written on the tombstone in reply to one above
The children of Israel wanted bread, And the Lord sent them manna, Old clerk Wallace wanted a wife, And the Devil sent him Anna.
-- England Tombstone
Under the sod and under the trees, Lies the body of Jonathan Pease. He is not here, there's only the pod; Pease shelled out and went to God.
-- Massachusetts Tombstone
Gone away, Owin' more than he could pay.
-- England
Alien tears will fill for him; Pity's long-broken ern. For his mourners will be outcast men, And outcasts always mourn.
-- Oscar Wilde's Tombstone

~~~~ INDIVIDUALITY ~~~~

If you don't want to be judged harshly by other people -
then don't continually condemn yourself.
You have to tell people who you are, and you do it by action, by words, and by attitude.
If you intend to compete with everyone, it will show in your manner.
If you believe no one likes you, they will believe there is a reason - and not like you.
If you believe you are smarter or above everyone else, others will see a foolish person then know you as a hipocrite.
If you try to destroy another person to make yourself seem of importance, to gain more friends, tables will turn, you will destroy yourself.
If you believe social status is power, you will see the day when it breaks down.
Individuality is not competition, not painful separation, but sincerity and genuine caring.
These things are evident - and the person that deliberately sets out to hinder someone is headed for out-and-out loneliness.
~ We first knew you as a feeble plant which wanted a little earth whereon to grow.... ~
~~Native American
Creator please remind us to know the strength you give us in individuality

"We all come from the same root, but the leaves are all different."
--John Fire Lame Deer, LAKOTA
We all come from one Great Spirit but we are all different and unique.
Nothing in the Great Creation has a twin that is identical.
Even children that are twins are different.
Every single person is extremely special and unique.
Each person has a purpose and reason why they are on the Earth. Just like every leaf on a tree is different, each one is needed to make the tree look like it does.
No leaf is better or worse than the other—all leaves are of equal worth and belong on the tree.
It is the same with human beings.
We each belong here and do things that will affect the great whole.
Creator of the Great Spirit, today, let me see myself as a valuable contributor to the whole.

The brain is a tool that needs to always be sharp, in order to keep this tool sharp you must always use it, and not just use it you must always try and bring it to its limit by questioning everything and not assuming you know.
1. unfortunate event makes world wide news and upsets or angers the public.
2. the result no matter what is always expansion of the Government and destruction of constitutional freedoms.
It doesn't matter what the excuse, or explanation is the result always reveals the truth.
A child can give the greatest excuses when he is sick or late for school but if it always happens on the day of a test the truth is revealed by the results.
The major media outlets can give every explanation in the book, as to why war happens assassination happen and terrorist events take place, but if they all end up in the expansion of government and the destruction of constitutional rights the truth is revealed by the results.
Because the vast majority of the public are completely ignorant of the natural biological cycle of man it is increasingly difficult for them to except that these events are by no means an 'accident'.
----Tao is truth.--
The word "Tao" has no exact equivalent in the English language.
To render it into "way", "principles", or "law" is to give it a too narrow interpretation.
Although no one word can substitute for it's meaning.
I have used the word "Truth" for it.
To be truthful and honest. --One must be truthful and honest in his approach; a constant independent inquiry and not blindly following a certain blue print laid down by others.
Truth is where the problem is.--We shall find the truth when we examine the problem. The problem is never apart from the answer, the problem is the answer--the understanding of the problem is the dissolution of the problem. It is a mistake to think that one can establish a universal definition for verification.
Determining truth in propositions.
--A proposition is true if:
-every proposition corresponds to a fact in the world.
-every proposition is a kind of symbol which pictures a particular fact-e.g., musical scales. If a picture is true, therefore a proposition is true.
-Indefinable view
-coherence view
-every proposition should fit into and will not contradict the set
-cannot dissect experience into subject and predicate
-can take experience as a whole
-reality is coherent
Determining truth in statements.--A statement of reality is true if it doesn't contradict other statements concerning reality.
Determining truth in beliefs.--A belief is true if and only if one can act on it without upsetting one's expectation.
Truth in nature.--There is an element of truth in everything.
Nature teaches, although it can sometimes be misleading
The man who seeks truth lives in what IS.--The man who is really serious, with the urge to find out what truth is, has not style at all. He lives only in what is.
Truth must be experienced by the individual to be meaningful.--A fat belly cannot believe that such a thing as hunger exists. It is something you have to go through and understand. No one can eat and digest your food for you in order to give you the necessary strength to live.
The realization of truth.--Truth comes when your mind and heart are purged of all sense of striving and you are no longer trying to become somebody; it is there when the mind is very quiet, listening timelessly to everything
The paradigm of truth.--I have said before "truth is nowhere to be found on a map." your truth is different from that of mine. At first, you may think that this is truth, but later you discover another truth, and then the former truth is denied--but you are closer to truth. Perhaps when we have found out more about what is not the truth, we will be that much closer to the truth. To experience pain, for example, does not necessarily mean that one understands it, accepts it, or even for that matter, denies its existence: It is. But it does not follow that everyone will understand pain in the same way and arrive at the same conclusion. All one has to do is take a close look at the medical profession. However, when I say that pain "is" this does imply that I am experiencing some THING, but to relate this THING to someone other than myself seems to be where the difficulty lies. It is, I believe, more than a semantic difficulty--it is an impossibility. Semantically, we all respond to a given idea, concept, or word in much the same way: that is, if the concept, idea, or word is in our own native language.
Truth cannot be limited.--Truth cannot be structured or confined. When there is no center and no circumference, then there is truth.
Truth cannot be organized.--You can't organize truth. That's like trying to put a pound of water into wrapping paper and shaping it.
School yourself in the truth.--Cultivate and school yourself in the TRUTH--study hard and enjoy your planning and steps to ultimate fulfillment. Partial zed cultivation is not an approach to truth; there is no " your style" or "my style", but only the intelligent understanding of problem.
The ways of truth.--The ways of truth consist of seeking after truth, awareness of truth(and it's existence), perception of truth (it's substance and direction, like the perception of movement), understanding truth, experiencing of truth, mastering of truth, forgetting truth, forgetting the carrier of truth, the return to the primal source where truth has its roots, and repose in the nothing.
First-rate philosophers practice truth in order to understand it.--
According to Tao, a first rate philosopher practices truth in order to understand it.
Krishnamurti pointed out that in order to see truth, one cannot be fragmented, but must see the totality.
If you don't want to slip up tomorrow, speak the truth today
Truth is everyday life
The truth and the Way exhibit in the simple everyday movements. Because of this, many miss it
(if there is any secret, it is missed by seeking).
If there is any secret, one must have lost it by striving for it.
The truth is here but men want to decorate the simple truth
the snake with feet.
Truth as liberating agent
The direct awareness in which is formed "truth that makes us free"
not the truth as an object of knowledge, only but the truth lived and experienced in concrete and existential awareness.
Anger and Truth.--That man in whom the truth is bright has no anger.
Truth transcends "for" and "against"--The prefect Way is only difficult for those who pick and choose; do not like, do not dislike; all will then be clear. Make a hair's breadth difference, and heaven and earth are set apart; if you want the truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against. The struggle between "for" and "against" is the mind's worst disease.
I don't hold beliefs I have convictions and at any moment if someone trys to reason with me and show me where I am wrong so that I may make up my own rational conviction I am open to it.--------------
Faith vs. doubt. -I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education.
To act on faith.--Faith without work is death.
Applied faith.--Thoughts backed by faith will overcome all obstacles.
Faith in oneself.--What do I live on? My faith in my ability that I'll make it. Faith makes it possible to achieve that which man's mind can conceive and believe. It is a well known fact that one comes, finally, to believe whatever one repeats to one's self, whether the statement be true or false. If man repeats lie over and over, he will eventually accept the lie as truth. Moreover, he'll believe it to be the truth. Every man is what he is because of the dominating thoughts which he permits to occupy his mind.
Faith is a state of mind.--Faith is a state of mind that can be conditioned through self-descipline. Faith will accomplish.
Cultivating faith.--Faith can be induced or created by affrirmation or repeated instructions to the subconscious mind through the principle of autosuggestion. This is the only known method of voluntary development of the emotion of faith.
Faith and reason.--I cannot and will not "scoff" at faith when reason seems to be such a barren thing.
Faith maintains the soul.--Faith is the maintaining of the soul through which one's aims may be translated into their physical equivalent.
One's perspective on truth changes with change.--Because I am a changing as well as an ever-growing man, thus what I hold true a couple of months ago might not be the same now.
There is pathless road.--Truth is a pathless road. A road that is not a road. It is total expression that has no before or after. How can there be methods and systems by which to arrive at something that is living? To that which is static, fixed, dead, there can be a way, a definite path, but not to that which is living.
Truth is outside molds and patterns.--Truth exists outside of all molds and patterns, and awareness is never exclusive. Truth is never a set idea and definitely not a conclusion. Styles and methods are conclusions but the truth of life is a process.
Find out for yourself what is true.--Create immediately an atmosphere of freedom so that you can live and find out for yourselves what is true, so that you are able to face the world with the ability to understand it, not just conform to it One can tell for oneself whether the water is warm or cold. In the same way, a man must convince himself about these experiences, only then are they real.
Discard what is ornamental.
--Shun what is trivial and discard what is ornamental
The ultimate truth.--The ultimate has no symbol, no style, no superhuman.
Truth is not found in a book.--Truth is not to be found in a book. Furthermore, such a book merely presents a barrier to progress in your search for truth. Independent inquiry is needed in your search for truth, not dependence on anyone else's view or a mere book.
A finger pointing to the moon.-- These few paragraphs at best are merely " a finger pointing to the moon." Please do not take the finger to be the moon or fix your intense gaze on the finger and thus miss all the beautiful sight of heaven. After all, the usefulness of the finger is in pointing away from itself to the light that illumines finger and all.
Emptiness--the end.--I have to leave now, my friend. You have a long journey ahead of you, and must travel light. From now leave all your burden of preconceive conclusions behind, and "open" yourself to everything and everyone ahead. Remember, my friend, the usefulness of a cup is in its emptiness.
The end is the beginning.-- The beginning and the end thus turn into next-door neighbors. On the musical scale, one may start with lowest pitch and gradually ascend to the highest. When the highest is reached one finds it is located next to the lowest. To know, but to be as though not knowing, is the height of wisdom.---------

Have faith? Have reason, have ovaries, have balls, and keep your mind SHARP!!!!

"The old people must start talking and the young people must start listening."
--Thomas Banyacya, HOPI
We are at a critical time in transferring cultural knowledge and spiritual ways.
During the last few years the young people have not been interested in learning the old ways.
The only place this knowledge is found is among the Elders. We must encourage the young to visit with the Elders.
The adults need to think also about learning the culture.
The Elders are getting old and soon will go to the other side. Each of us must pause and think about our individual responsibility to learn the culture and teach this to our young.
Creator of the Great Spirit, help us to learn and remember the old ways
hope you can see the lady in the waterfall

~~ Sitting Bull, HUNKPAPA LAKOTA
Too often we worry about the words we use in prayer.
We focus on the words.
What really counts is the spirit and intent behind our words.
It is the spirit and intent that the Creator responds to.
He reads and listens to our heart.
Prayer isn't only when we fold our hands and pray.
Prayer is when we talk to the Creator even when we are walking down a path or sitting on a hill or walking in the mountains.
The Elders say, walk in prayer.
We should be willing to talk with the Great One.
Creator of Great Spirit, today I will pray to You all day.
Listen to my heart.

"We must have respect and understanding for women and all female life on this Earth which bears the sacred gift of life."
--Traditional Circle of Elders. ONONDAGA
At a gathering of Native Elders we were told that many men of today had lost their ability to look at the Woman in a sacred way.
They said we were only looking at Her in a physical sense and had lost the ability to look at Her sacredness.
They said the Woman has a powerful position in the Unseen World. She has the special ability to bring forth life.
They told us to start showing Her respect and to look upon her in a sacred manner.
We must start this today.
Grandfather and Creator please show us all how to see in a sacred way.

"Don't be reckless with other people's hearts...
Don't put up with those who are reckless with yours".~~ quote by Mary Schmich ~~
"It's time. If you are to walk the path of heart, then it is time..."
~~Nippawanock, ARAPAHOE
If not now, when? If not me, who? To walk the path of the heart is a great honor.
Every human has the choice to walk this path, but very few will decide to make it.
Why? Well, because you can't act and behave like everyone else behaves.
You must be the person who will learn to look within.
You must be the person who will be fully accountable for yourself.
You must be the person who prays and meditates.
You must be the person who will sacrifice.
You must decide to be a Peaceful Warrior.
What will you decide today?
Oh, Great Creator of Mystery, lead me on the path of the heart.

He loved to kiss with her...
It was simple there was no why...
no serious because...
he loved to feel her skin with the eyes of his hands...
For him kissing and touching her...
were no different from waking up...
simple...
holy...
glorious...
with no answer...
no question...
no doubt.
