It Won’t Be Long Now

Published February 11, 2024 by tindertender

A “send that shit back” scripture.

1 O God, whom I praise, do not remain silent,

2 for wicked and deceitful men have opened their mouths against me; they have spoken against me with lying tongues.

3 With words of hatred they surround me; they attack me without cause.

4 In return for my friendship they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer.

5 They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my friendship.

6 Appoint an evil man to oppose him; let an accuser stand at his right hand.

7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayers condemn him.

8 May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.

9 May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.

10 May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.

11 May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.

12 May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children.

13 May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation.

14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.

15 May their sins always remain before the LORD, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

16 For he never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted.

17 He loved to pronounce a curse– may it come on him; he found no pleasure in blessing– may it be far from him.

18 He wore cursing as his garment; it entered into his body like water, into his bones like oil.

19 May it be like a cloak wrapped about him, like a belt tied forever around him.

20 May this be the LORD’s payment to my accusers, to those who speak evil of me.

21 But you, O Sovereign LORD, deal well with me for your name’s sake; out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.

22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

23 I fade away like an evening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.

24 My knees give way from fasting; my body is thin and gaunt.

25 I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.

26 Help me, O LORD my God; save me in accordance with your love.

27 Let them know that it is your hand, that you, O LORD, have done it.

28 They may curse, but you will bless; when they attack they will be put to shame, but your servant will rejoice.

29 My accusers will be clothed with disgrace and wrapped in shame as in a cloak.

30 With my mouth I will greatly extol the LORD; in the great throng I will praise him.

31 For he stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save his life from those who condemn him.

Conscious Connection and a Guardians Prayer

Published January 22, 2024 by tindertender

Something has definitely shifted. I was wandering, getting my coffee, waiting for it to brew, and noted a perfect stillness within me. As tho some thing, or some energy, had been removed. I noted it, and gave thanks. Our team, guardians, protectors, all of those working in service on behalf of the essence of life flowing within all beings… remember them when you are feeling good. It’s symbiosis, and needs to be acknowledged. “There’s a whole lot more coming from this side of the apple”, they said. Show gratitude for the ease, and pray for assistance should it be vacant. The family of the Most High is diligently working on behalf of harmony … clearing chaos isn’t an easy task. Pray for their protection, while they do what you cannot. It’s the courteous thing to do, Should one choose to participate in this special relationship, consciously.

Just before dozing off, a message arrived:

“Choices are being made for those who didn’t choose.”

Thank you Heavenly Father, the Most High Creator, thank you to the One with All Authority, for giving me the easy job.

Thank you for allowing me to rest in gentleness.

Thank you for taking the position of Judge, and deliverer of Justice, away from me.

I am grateful.

Morning Prayer

Published December 6, 2023 by tindertender

Good morning everybody!

Let it Rain

Published November 29, 2023 by tindertender

Please Jah, let it rain
Let it wash all this wickedness away
So much sorrow, so much pain
Let the sun come out to shine another day

Please Jah, let it rain
And if our roots are strong we will remain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

In the beginning there was only Love
All was connected to the Most High above
Every creature lived in harmony
There was no language for the word enemy

All animals were equal under Jah sun
There was just enough food for everyone
There were no squabbles and no ego trips
There was no language for the word ownership

Then along came mankind, eager to prove his worth and his might
To conquer the land, conquer the seas, conquer the skies
A God in his own eyes

But be careful you build your house too high
Standing on your tiptoes trying to touch the sky, you’re gonna topple
Look how your foundation crumble
You had everything you could need, but you just couldn’t keep it simple

Please Jah, let it rain
Let it wash all this wickedness away
So much sorrow, so much pain
Let the sun come out to shine another day

How long will we wait for humanity to come around
Is the gap too great to cross this divide and be reunited

I should have known it, I should have seen it coming creeping like a shadow on my heart, hungry like a vampire
I should have felt it, historically the signs were there for all to see, esoterically hidden in plain sight
So gather your freedom and hold it tight, yeah we’re gonna live it up tonight
Follow me brother cause babylon never discover the treasure that we hold, oh no

How long will we wait, open the doors of Zion gate
We will suffer no more
Can’t you hear we knocking, knocking at your door

How long will we wait
Will we open the seventh and seal our fate
Is the gap too great, to cross this divide and be reunited

‘Cause they will never give up, ’til they sucked every last drop of blood from out of our veins
So we got only one choice, listen closely to my voice, we got to take back our freedom

Please Jah, let it rain
Let it wash all this wickedness away
So much sorrow, so much pain
Let the sun come out to shine another day

I love you. Let’s go on a permanent holiday.

Can You Help Us?

Published November 6, 2023 by tindertender

Turtle woman is making an offering of wampum to the plants of the river.

“Please”, she asks, “can you help us?”

She explains how we need the rivers to be clean and she acknowledges the plants as the cleaners of the river.

She speaks to the wampum and thanks them also for the light they bring the world.

She talks to the plants for a long time. Telling them what is happening. She explains that the two legged have lost their ways. But there are still some who remember. She tells them about the babies that are coming who need clean water. She cries for her grandchildren.

The plants, being loving and generous, wait for her to finish speaking and then they tell her they have heard her prayers. They agree to help. They are gentle. They never have an unkind word to say about anyone.

From the shore a young person sings a turtle song. Unbeknownst to them, turtle woman is pleading for the world only a short distance below at the bottom of the river.

15 REMINDERS FROM THE ELDERS

Published March 26, 2023 by tindertender
  1. Get up with the sun to pray. Pray alone.
  2. Be tolerant of those who have lost their way. Ignorance, presumption, anger, jealousy and greed come from a lost soul. Pray for them to find guidance.
  3. Find yourself, by your own means. Do not let others make your path for you. It is your path, and only yours. Others may walk with you, but no one can make your way (or walk your path) for you.
  4. Treat guests in your home with great consideration. Serve them the best food, give them the best bed and treat them with respect and honor.
  5. Do not take what is not yours, whether from a person, a community, from the jungle or from a culture. It was not given or won. It is not yours.
  6. Respect all the things that are on this earth, be they people, plants and animals.
  7. Honor the thoughts, desires and words of all people. Never break them in, or make fun of them, or imitate them rudely. It gives each person the right to their personal expression.
  8. Never talk about others in a bad way. The negative energy you put into the universe will multiply when it returns to you.
  9. All people make mistakes. And all the mistakes can be forgiven.
  10. Bad thoughts cause illness to the mind, body and spirit. Practice optimism.
  11. Nature is not FOR us. It is PART of us. She’s part of your family in the world.
  12. Children are the seeds of our future. Sow love in your hearts and water them with wisdom and life lessons. When they grow up, just give them space to grow up.
  13. Avoid hurting the hearts of others. The poison of their suffering will return to you.
  14. Be true (transparent ) all the time. Honesty is the test of one’s will in this universe.
  15. Keep yourself balanced. Your Mental person, your Spiritual person, your Emotional person, and your Physical person: they all have the need to be strong, pure and healthy.

Prayer Flags ~ A Teaching

Published March 13, 2023 by tindertender

PRAYER FLAGS TEACHING

Prayer Flags, also known as Tobacco Flags, are for defining a sacred space and keeping it protected from unwanted external energies.

Prayer Flags is comprised of a group of 7 different colored strips of cloth with a handful of tobacco tied to one end and the excess material dropping down like a tail.

The 7 colors represent the 7 Sacred Directions and the help received from the Spirits in that direction.

  1. Yellow for East is for inner-child work.
  2. Red for South is for work on the youth stage of life.
  3. Black for West is for work on adulthood.
  4. White for North is for work on elders and Ancestors.
  5. Blue for the Above Direction representing help and assistance from Father Sky and other Supernatural Spirits.
  6. Green for the Below Direction representing help and assistance from Mother Earth and other Earth Spirits.
  7. Purple for the Within Direction, representing Great Mystery which is the connection between your spirit to all of Creation.

People going on a Vision Quest make Prayer Flags to keep them protected from distraction from outside energies so that the individual can focus on going within self to find the help and answers they are seeking with the help of spirit guides.

The 7 Flags are hung up independently with each color in the appropriate cardinal direction beginning with the yellow cloth and going clockwise in attaching to a tree branch or stick on the ground in a circular pattern around their personal space.

The green and blue flags are usually hung in the western direction with the black flag while the purple is hung in the northern direction with the white flag.

For a building that serves to help children and youth, the Prayer Flags are usually combined altogether and hung up near the main entrance to protect the building from the negativity of outside energies. So that the building and people in it can focus on purpose of being there.

Flags are made from 4-inch strips of fabric usually broadcloth with one end having a handful of tobacco or with a mixture of other medicines tied in.

This end holding the tobacco is hung upwards so that the top has the offering requesting spirits for help and guidance.

The tail of the material allows a pathway for spirits to come down and do whatever is needed to accomplish the request made with the tobacco.
If no intention was made while making the Prayer

Flags, expect no results because people get what they asked which was nothing.

The Prayer Flags are to be burned at the end of the term be it at end of a vision quest, school year or physical year end.

Nothing lasts forever and tobacco does wear out and so does the cloth.
