Native Wisdom

Chief Seattle once said, "The Earth does not belong to us, but we belong to the Earth."  Many Native people in North America say that we do not inherit the Earth from our forefathers, but we borrow it from our children.  Many Native Americans, most all of them keep the Earth healthy for the 7th generation in the future.

There is more wisdom than the standard Judeo-Christian traditions.  There are Earth-centered religions such as the many Native American traditions and cultures, the Celtic traditions, African traditions and Australian Aborigionie traditions.  There were ancient Viking and Germanic traditions.

I am not discounting anything the Jews came up with or anything Jesus said.  I am just saying there is more to it than the Bible.

A little on Native Americans

Native Americans are some of the poorest people in the USA.  We as Americans have really done them a disservice by forcing them westward, putting them on unarable land (reservations) and taking thier culture away from them.  The Navajo were employed as "windtalkers" in WWII.  This was our code in the war.  Many natives have fought in modern 20th century wars and we have given so little back to them.

There is so much spiritual wisdom that can be leaned from Native Americans of all nations from this continent.  There are Native Hopi prophecies mentioning eathquakes on a large scale.  It is called the Cleansing.  It can come in destructively or peacefully.  It is our choice.  All beings on this planet have a responsibility to care for this planet, love each other, and use beneficial technology that is peaceful for this planet.  Blessed Be.
