Hiya Wes, Sorry I have been so quiet. I have been knee deep in things around the house. Work is a pain, nothing unusally about that. However, I am at the tail end of writing my thesis for my second Master's Degree. This one is an MLS. The great news is that I have applied and been accepted...

I have read all the wonderful posts here and let me applaud all of you for your well thought out and presented ideas. When I think about the time I spent with my grandfather learning about the path of my people I wondered even then what was missing. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that...

We don't see it as dirty energy. It, of course, should never be used by a male, but I knew many women who use it for a variety of things. Myself, well when I was still able I didn't, but then again due to cancer I have not even had the abioity to since i was 24. =)

Re: Definition of religion and true religion How very rude and arrogant of you. I will make a point to avoid reading any more of your posts.

Re: indians? Althought I am as you put it native america, I would by no means say that only my people can see them. Yes, being a part of nature and not seeking to control it does help open the path, but it is not the only way by any means. Both the personal that is listening and the spirit...

Re: True religion is my very own one... Yes you do. Eveyone has one true religion. Sometimes it takes them awhile and alot of soul searching to find it. But for the purpose of this conversation, yes. No and yes, let me explain. No, I do not accept that to be true, in that for me there is one...

I have always believe that gaining knowledge was an avenue to creating confusion in my mind. Just when I thought I had things figured out I would learn soemthing new that would throw my new understanding out the window. Oh course I am happy to say that not a day goes by that I don't learn...

Why thank you sweetie, how very nice of you to notice.:D and I agree with Alexa, interesting! :)

I agree, his lawyer did try for that but as I indicated ealier he was not able to get it. The whole thing was more of a blood hunt then a trial. People were afraid and upset, they needed a scapegaot and Rollins was an easy target.

When my grandfather first started to teach me the way of a shaman I clearly remember him telling me that the more I looked the more I would see and that at some point I would have to stop looking or I would lose myself. Now, like most things old shamans say it had more then one meaning. (As a...

It wonderful to see the difference reactions to the same act can have when you add a religious out look to the actions. I have practiced sex magik for many years and for a varitey of reasons. I do not follow a dark path because I chose not to. None of the things I have done involving sex...

I agree with your totally on this oen. Read my post below for more.

Perhaps I can be of some help here (hehe ok, so perhaps I will add my two cents worth and confuse things further). I am what is referred to as Native America by outsiders and as one of the People from the inside. I am not a pure blood, one of my grandmothers is German. Although almost...

I tend to agree with you here. It think what you are seeing is the same thing that we see in a lot of religions, they all seem to have some characteristics that are shared but that does by no means make them the same. hmm, well I have to disagree with you here. My ancestors did not have any...

Hi all, It my humble opinion there is a true religion. It is the one that fills you heart with the certain knowledge that the path you take is the correct one for you. Religion is a tool by which we find our path to our God(s). Since none of us are the same I think it is foolish to think...

Greed and false hope Having read many of the replies here, I feel the need to add this. As a shaman, I do not sell my services to anyone. If and when I can help someone I am happy to do it. Mainly because it is the path that I walk and like with any path there are scared duties that simply...

Thank you for your kind words. But you did say it your, only those that are opened to the source. Here is where I see that everyoen has the ability to do it, most just don't for a varitey of reasons. The most common reason begin that as we begin to mature into adulthood we are told that we...

I use that term for lack of a better one to be honest. Not everything that we might preceive as spirits are really that. Its more of an echo of something that once happened. They can be there because a spirit is tormenting itself and needs the surrounding to compelte the scene. Such as in...

hehe, ok, let me explain how I view morality and it might help clear this up a bit. :) 1. moralilty is what I beleive is right and wrong AND making the choice to do what is right. 2. I do not apply my morality to others as I have no right to do so. 3. I accept that I might not always...

Interesting, I would say its sort of the opposite way around on this one. I think everyone is born with compassion but the difficult experiences in thier lives can burn it out of them or cause it to be hidden very deeply. I agree with you Bundy did not feel compassion for his victims. He did...
