RE: If You Want Sanity - Try: The Native American 'Ten Commandments'
Remain close to the Great Spirit
Which would it be? Some mythologies say that it lies within us, others that it's everything, others that it's the creator, others that it's just a being on which we live. My big brother says that he is God, lol, and he'll say "You're welcome!" anytime anyone utters "Thank God".
I like those commandments on the condition that they are non-dogmatic, merely a self-choice of gratitude and self-preservation. They're very pretty for that. :) They seem a bit repetitive at times, like I'd say that the commandments 1, 3, 4, 5 and 8 could be fused.
Great spirit has a specific identity to the tribes, though each individual may disagree somewhat with each other individual.
For me, 'great spirit' is the conscious light energy that originated the universe, of which we are all parts but which has it's own experience.
If you have time, could you elaborate on this conscious light energy? I've never heard that term. It seems similar to God but not of the Earth but of the Universe. Some kind of sentient being of uncertain composition and with the power to influence matter?
It is god, yes. A higher vibrational energy/essence than we commonly experience here in this world of form and density... However, we are not so far away - we can connect directly through correct alignment, receptivity and internal readiness. Some schools of yoga direct us to that, though they usually don't make that clear to students!
Oh! I didn't know that either. I have never practised yoga, although many of my friends keep urging me to. Thank you for the information! <3 :)
And your concept of God seems very intriguing. The only time I've heard something about vibrational energy was in the Black Panther movie, where there is an element that carries this vibrational energy. It was called Vibranium if I remember correctly.
You are welcome. Typically, the forms of yoga found in the west do not include the metaphysical aspects but some teachers can be found who understand. That said, I found I had to do significant amounts of other processing before I could connect - including fasting and emotional processing/healing.
Wow, that's amazing! It seems like a brilliant thing to try. :) I'm glad you managed it and had this wonderful experience.
