It’s what I had to do. I started 21 years ago. Unlearning everything taught and conditioned. Retraining myself, from a loving perspective, with my highest good in mind. @AmentiReAnkhet puts the process in words very well here.

“Re-parenting is the process of healing from childhood trauma & pain by intentionally making choices in your highest good.

In this thread are some tips to help re-parent yourself.

Discipline –

Tend to your hurts & wounds. Provide words of encouraging affirmations. Provide or not deprive yourself physical affection & touch. Hold self accountability. Be kind to yourself. Honor your feelings. Creating a structure, will make life easier & help you find your center.”

King Baldwin IV

“When I was sixteen, I won a great victory. I felt in that moment I would live to be a hundred. Now I know I shall not see thirty.

None of us know our end, really, or what hand will guide us there. A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power.

When you stand before God, you cannot say, “But I was told by others to do thus,” or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice. Remember that.” – King Baldwin IV, Kingdom of Heaven.

King Baldwin suffered from leprosy, plaguing him from a young age, he would fight wars and rule Jerusalem despite this illness, and die at the age of 24.

The Whole World Paused This Morning

Published August 18, 2023 by tindertender

Do you know why? Because an 8 year old’s tank was empty.

The boys had already started their school day at their desks and I was preparing to leave for work when I noticed my littlest standing in the bathroom wiping his face.

I paused at the door and asked if he was okay. He looked up with tears silently dripping and shook his head. When I questioned if something happened, again he shook his head.

So I sat on the side of the tub and pulled him in my lap. I told him sometimes our heart tanks feel empty and need to be refilled.

He cried into my chest and I held tight.
I asked if he could feel my love filling him up?
A nod, and tears stopped…

I waited a minute…

‘Has it reached your toes yet?’
He shook his head no…

‘Okay man. We will take as long as you need. Work doesn’t matter right now. School isn’t important either. This right here, is the most important thing today, okay? Filling you back to the top. Is that good?’
nods

One more minute…
‘Is your heart full of mamas love now?’
‘Yeah…’
looks in his eyes I see it shining in there, you’re full to the top, and you’re smiling!

Y’all. You may not be 8- you may be 28, 38, 48 or whatever- but ALL of us run on empty just like he did. His weekend was so busy and so full and his little soul was just dry!!!

We all have to pause, and take a moment to refill with the good things. Scripture, prayer, sunshine, worship, song, laughter, friends, hugs. Refill your empty, or you’ll find those emotions (tears, anger, snappy words) overflowing with no reason why.

Take a moment. Refill. It’s the most important part of your day!

Strong souls are under attack from childhood…

Published April 4, 2023 by tindertender

It was hard for the High Vibrational Souls to penetrate here in the 🌎.

When the arrival of a soul of a higher order about to incarnate the matrix reacts by transmitting the signal “attention to all” its commands.

And immediately, opposing forces fall upon that baby yet to prevent birth, provide for an early death, or to extinguish and steal his potential to exercise his gifts.

Externally, this may manifest itself as problems during pregnancy, childbirth. The child is born in the most difficult environment to degrade them as much as possible.

The system accurately reads vulnerabilities and problem points in order to strike them ruthlessly and consistently.

The task is to deprive her of self-confidence, destroy the inner core, be subjected to physical and psychological violence, incessant criticism and negativity.

The main thing is to stop loving yourself, disconnect from your soul and believe in others – it has no value – that you have to live like everyone else, do what you are told, not believe in yourself, in your own ability, handing over your power to someone else.

Yes, powerful souls can choose this cruel journey to lift experiences to more difficult levels.

But having descended to these lower vibrations you instantly realize that it’s not as simple as it seemed “from above”.

But there’s nowhere to go and not everyone passes that test of rising in those conditions and still spreading positive vibes around you.

This path symbolizes the lotus flower growing strong roots to overcome the darkness of the mud, overcoming all obstacles.

Similarly, a Human, on the spiritual path, goes through the experience of negativity.

So if sometimes you feel tired, think this is the darkest hour before Dawn, soon your lotus flower will surface.

The Spiritual Nature of Long Hair

Cheyenne Dog Soldier

Published December 2, 2022 by tindertender
Cheyenne Dog Soldier, 1840.

The Dog Soldiers were the Cheyenne Elite. They formed their own bands within the Cheyenne Nation. They often gave their own lives to protect their women and children. They were very much feared by the white Soldiers, and their Native American Foes, Pawnee, Ute, to name but a few, however, they where honoured Allies of the Lakota Sioux, and the Arapahoe’s, Comanche’s and Kiowa’s.

The mention of the words “Cheyenne Dog Soldier”, put Fear into the most hard of white Soldiers. They are still the most famous warrior society on Earth today. AHO.

The Ghost Dance

Published November 15, 2022 by tindertender

On this day, November 12th, 1890, an indigenous movement giving hope to the peoples in their loss and grief, was met with fear and violent suppression by the US government and it’s armed forces.

The Ghost Dance is, and was, a spiritual movement that came about in the late 1880s when conditions were in grave despair on Indian reservations with sickness, starvation and death ever present, Native Americans needed something to give them hope.

  • the Ghost Dance song:
    “The whole world is coming,
    A nation is coming, a nation is coming,
    The eagle has brought the message to the tribe, The father says so, the father says so.
    Over the whole earth they are coming,
    The buffalo are coming, the buffalo are coming, The crow has brought the message to the tribe, The father says so, the father says so.”
    “When the Sun died, I went up to Heaven and saw God [Creator] and all the people who had died a long time ago. God [Creator] told me to come back and tell my people they must be good and love one another, and not fight, or steal or lie. He gave me this dance to give to my people.”

    ~ Wovoka. HISTORIC AUDIO RECORDING, click on link below to hear. https://archive.org/embed/CollectedWorksOfJamesMooney

The Ghost Dance was an answer to the subjugation of Native Americans by the U.S. government. It was an attempt to revitalize traditional culture and to find a way to face increasing poverty, hunger, and disease, all representing the reservation life of the Native Americans in the late nineteenth century.
The Ghost Dance originated among the Paiute Indians around 1870. However, the tide of the movement came in 1889 with a Paiute shaman Wovoka (Jack Wilson). Wovoka had a vision during a sun eclipse in 1889.

While many European Americans were alarmed by the Ghost Dance and saw it as a militant and warlike movement, it was quite the opposite — an emergence of a peaceful resistance movement based on Indian beliefs. It was also a movement of desperation, as existing treaties had been violated and Indians in the West were forced onto reservations. For the Plains Indians, this was a period of starvation as the buffalo were slaughtered, destroying their way of life and main source of food. From an Indian point of view, Europeans were not only destroying the way of life of Indian peoples, but destroying the natural resources of the plains to an extent that would make it impossible for anyone to live there. European Americans often saw the Ghost Dance as irrational. From an Indian point of view, what was being done to them and their way of life was irrational.

James Mooney wrote a book about the Ghost Dance, hoping it would help to counter newspaper articles about it that were inaccurate and promoted prejudice toward the Indians. His research was first published as part of a report in 1890, then enlarged as a book in 1896. The press encouraged popular belief that the dance was dangerous and possibly a prelude to an Indian uprising. Mooney emphatically explained that it was peaceful. In his introduction he describes several fieldwork trips between 1890-1894 that “occupied twenty-two months, involving nearly 32,000 miles of travel, and more or less time spent with about twenty tribes.” As a participant/observer he sang and danced with the Arapaho and Cheyenne, consulted with participants in the new religion, and also took photographs. One reason for the excitement about the Ghost Dance among ethnographers at that time was that the researchers of American Indians were seeing the emergence of a new religion developing in a surprisingly short time and crossing culture and language barriers. This was an extremely rare event. The new movement spread throughout the Native camps in the West, giving Native people much needed hope.

White settlers reacted differently to the “new religion”. Some traveled to the reservations to observe the dancing, others feared the possibility of an Indian uprising. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) eventually banned the Ghost Dance, because the government believed it was a precursor to renewed Native American militancy and violent rebellion. One of the goals of the agency was to convert the Natives to Christianity. The agency did not recognize the Ghost Dance, misunderstanding and ignorance were part of the BIA decision.

Wovoka’s message clearly promoted pacifism. However, spreading rumors of Indian treachery ignited fear and panic with non natives. On November 12th, 1890, president Benjamin Harrison ordered the military to take control over Lakota Sioux reservation in South Dakota.

On December 29, 1890, 300 Lakota men, women and children were killed in an event that came to be known as the Massacre of Wounded Knee. What started as a peaceful movement in 1889, was brutally ended a year later by the U.S. military.

Trinity ~ 3, 6, 9

Published October 10, 2022 by tindertender

Has everyone actually thought about the different aspects of Self in the realms we seem to inhabit here in 3D?

The Higher Self
The Self of Matter
The Self of Spirit

Some might say:

God/Goddess (Higher Self)
Son/Daughter (Self of Matter)
Holy Spirit (Dream Self)

Or …

Trinity

Micro, to Macro, and Beyond

3,6,9

There are many of us here under the umbrella of Creator.

Those who are against “God” attack the Self of matter (Son/Daughter) and then do awful things to their Holy Spirit if able, in the attempt to kill the Higher Self.

This is the Holy War.
