Wisdom From The Past

OldBones-Larry

Text from Hehaka Sapa, Black Elk, a great sage and sacred man from the Lakota Sioux, born in 1863 and died 1950.

 

IT IS WRITTEN:

"I am blind and I do not see the things of this world; but when the light comes from On-High, it illuminates my heart and then I see, for the Eye of my heart sees all things.

The heart is the sanctuary at the center of which there is a tiny space in which the Great Spirit dwells, and that is the Eye. That is the Eye of the Great Spirit through which He sees all things and through which we see Him.

When the heart is not pure, the Great Spirit cannot be seen, and if you were to die in that state of ignorance, you soul could not immediately return to Him, but would have to be purified by peregrination [walking] throughout the world. In order to know the center of the heart where the Great Spirit dwells, you must be pure and good, and live according to the way the Great Spirit taught us. The man who, in this way, is pure, holds the universe in the pocket of his heart."

Because our hearts can see everything, we can and do create the world around us. If we speak it with our lips, it will become reality. May our reality always be peaceful and loving.

==============================================================

May mankind, in time, learn this lesson contained in these words.

I send Peace to all, along with Creator's Love.

Larry

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
