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.

The Sovereign Woman

Published March 8, 2023 by tindertender

There she is, that Sovereign Woman.

She with the courageous heart and the wild soul. She who says, “This is me. This is who I am.”

She wasn’t always this way.

For many years she was hidden away. Revealing herself fully only in the words of her journal and in her closest friendships. Showing up in her truth only when she felt safe enough to be vulnerable.

But now she’s changed. From her appearance to her writing, she’s a whole different woman.

SHE’S THE WOMAN WHO WAS WAITING INSIDE OF HER ALL ALONG.

It was not easy for her, this transformation. She didn’t just step into this embodied self the way you would gracefully step up a staircase.

She had to go deep inside of herself to find this version of herself.

She dug and descended.
Explored and excavated.
Re-membered, re-defined and re-birthed.

And now here she stands: Battle weary. Flawed. Tender.

She’s cried countless tears and faced many shadows. But it doesn’t take much to see there’s something different about her.

What is it? Can you feel it?

Yes that’s it…

IT’S NOT SO MUCH HOW SHE LOOKS. IT’S WHAT SHE’S EMANATING.

She’s grounded in her Wisdom.
Firm in her Strength.
And rooted in her Truth.

She may look like she’s been to hell and back, and in many ways she has, but the raging fire only devoured everything about her that was no longer true.

And what was left behind after all the layers of untruths were burned to the ground was her true essence.

She’s rising out of the ashes now, this Phoenix woman. She’s orienting her life to who she has become.

It’s all brand new to her and she’s far from having it all figured out. But little by little, she’s finding out exactly what it means to be a Sovereign Woman.”

Want To Know About Your Dreams?

Published March 7, 2023 by tindertender

By @Akashicel

Do you know the Oneiric portals?

Everything is a portal that takes you back to your unconscious,

You probably entered one of them last night.

Do you remember?

How do you know that what you dream are your dreams and not given by a third party?

Let’s start by talking about dreams…

Dreams are the main mystical door that evokes, links and channels us with our essence and our true home, they are vehicles and coarse channels of creation that interact with memory/consciousness fields (conscious and unconscious) through different planes of existence.

https://twitter.com/akashicel/status/1595592383852322816?s=46&t=zsZI5mlc1igVGWFu2MUwig

You may wonder why do we not always experience freedom when we dream?
Why do we keep remembering the conditioning exerted by the system?
Why do we sometimes feel imprisoned, attacked, deceived?
Why do we feel that we have no control over ourselves, over our DREAMS?

https://twitter.com/akashicel/status/1595592892537786369?s=46&t=zsZI5mlc1igVGWFu2MUwig

Fear creates illusory limits that shape our unconscious, limits represented in archetypes of power, languages, symbols with which we identify ourselves.

For example, do you know what the true meaning of the cross is?

https://twitter.com/akashicel/status/1595593235652657153?s=46&t=zsZI5mlc1igVGWFu2MUwig

Archetypes rooted in the collective consciousness.

Remember, culture is just rituals in disguise.

Your energy, the resonance of your electromagnetic field have visible weak points where parasites can anchor, because you consented to it, by forgetting your power.

https://twitter.com/akashicel/status/1595593874663161857?s=46&t=zsZI5mlc1igVGWFu2MUwig

Your recurring dreams may be prefabricated dreams, simulations created to extract your vital energy, or dream spaces that you kept after the attack to understand more about your fears, and dissolve them.

Most nightmares are prefabricated dreams, scenarios that interrupt organic dreams and lead us to another one.

The interruption of dreams is a sign of an attack.

Sleep paralysis often communicates a lack of control and connection with our human body.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintence ~ Robert M. Pirsig

Published February 26, 2023 by tindertender

The term logos, the root word of “logic,” refers to the sum total of our rational understanding of the world. Mythos is the sum total of the early historic and prehistoric myths which preceded the logos. The mythos includes not only the Greek myths but the Old Testament, the Vedic Hymns and the early legends of all cultures which have contributed to our present world understanding. —

The mythos-over-logos argument points to the fact that each child is born as ignorant as any caveman. What keeps the world from reverting to the Neanderthal with each generation is the continuing, ongoing mythos, transformed into logos but still mythos, the huge body of common knowledge that unites our minds as cells are united in the body of man. To feel that one is not so united, that one can accept or discard this mythos as one pleases, is not to understand what the mythos is. —

There is only one kind of person, Phædrus said, who accepts or rejects the mythos in which he lives. And the definition of that person, when he has rejected the mythos, Phædrus said, is “insane.” To go outside the mythos is to become insane. —

Quality! Virtue! Dharma! That is what the Sophists were teaching! Not ethical relativism. Not pristine “virtue.” But areté. Excellence. Dharma! Before the Church of Reason. Before substance. Before form. Before mind and matter. Before dialectic itself. Quality had been absolute. Those first teachers of the Western world were teaching Quality, and the medium they had chosen was that of rhetoric. He has been doing it right all along. —

And the bones of the Sophists long ago turned to dust and what they said turned to dust with them and the dust was buried under the rubble of declining Athens through its fall and Macedonia through its decline and fall. Through the decline and death of ancient Rome and Byzantium and the Ottoman Empire and the modern states…buried so deep and with such ceremoniousness and such unction and such evil that only a madman centuries later could discover the clues needed to uncover them, and see with horror what had been done. —

Bird Tribes Are Rising

Published February 26, 2023 by tindertender

This song has been playing in my head off and on for the last two days … blood lines …

Ohlo Lungwo Lungwoi 
Ohlo Lungwo Wei 

Ka Ohlungwo Ilungwo 
Ohlo Lungwo Wei 
The Bird Tribes are rising 

Ka old soul 
Oh it is written 
The Ancient Ones will rise again 
I bow in complete recognition 
The Bird Tribes are rising 

Ka Ohlungwo Ilungwo 
Ohlo Lungwo Wei 
The Bird Tribes are rising 

Ka Old Soul 
It is legend 
The Ancient Ones will rise again 
See my soul of different colours 
See my feathers worn from within 

Ka Ohlungwo Ilungwo 
Ohlo Lungwo Wei 
The Bird Tribes are rising 

Oh come sit by this fire 
Warm the seeds you’ve sewn 
Time travellers how far we have flown 
Are we not birds of the same feather? 
Is this not prophecy? 
I rise up for I remember 
All of Creation 
Is inside of me 

Ka Ohlungwo Ilungwo 
Ohlo Lungwo Wei 
The Bird Tribes are rising

Open up and breathe, your moving meditation.

When the stress is rising up, take it down.

Water Lillie’s, your thoughts are sacred.

Let them rest inside the sound.

Let them rest inside the sound.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Breathe in, breathe out.
