Overview

Today's Native Americans still turn to the ancient knowledge and the wisdom of the elders. They have learned to seek vision the old way. Known for their ability to find the wisdom of the ancients and apply it to finding a more spiritual life today, Native American teachings help us comprehend the sacredness of Mother Earth, engender a deep respect for all living things, and develop the ability to find a place in the circle of life. Exploring Native American Wisdom brings the supernatural world of their ancestors back to life to show all of us how we can find peace within. We are shown how to live successfully in a rapidly changing world while reopening the ancient door to the divine power and wisdom that resides within each one of us. The reader is invited into a mystical dimension where humans are able to communicate with animals, fire, wind, water, earth, and each other. We see how Native Americans today follow the same traditional path to understanding of self and the supernatural using vision quests, dreams, ceremonies, and the exploration of natural laws. We learn about the wisdom of the Old Ones, how we can enter a mystical dimension of self-discovery with the oldest Spirit of Creation, and how to discover inner talents and gifts as we journey to the top of the Sacred Mountain to meet Eagle... and fly to a new dimension filled with energy and power.

Synopsis

Why was I born? Why must I die? How can I interact with the universe? Are there really visions? Is there a Deity? The First Americans had the same questions. In Exploring Native American Wisdom, you are invited into a mystical dimension, where humans communicate with the Oldest Spirit of Creation, Grandmother Earth, animals, fire, wind, and water. The wisdom of the Old Ones unravels the mysteries inside us waiting to burst forth with a new understanding of our place in the circle of life. Enemies become worthy opponents. Pain becomes purification, and strife disappears. There are no problems, only challenges, when we discover that everything is sacred and that our souls are very old. Trudging becomes dancing as we gain the strength and perseverance to make our lives new each day.

Exploring Native American Wisdom reveals how to live fully in a rapidly changing world, while reopening the ancient door to the divine power and wisdom within.
