Elder's Meditation of the Day - February 21

"Every thing or living being that exists in this world, be it trees, flowers, birds, grasses, rocks, soil of the earth, or human beings, has its unique manner of existence--its essence, its spirit that makes it what it is. That is what is meant by connectedness."

-- Larry P. Aitken, CHIPPEWA

Scientist are finally realizing what the Elders have taught thousands of years--everything is connected. Because everything is interconnected, whatever you do to any one thing, you do to everything. If you poison any part of the Earth, the poison eventually affects everything\ else. If you poison the plants, the birds will eat the plants, which poisons the birds. The birds are eaten by humans, which poisons the humans. The humans will have babies who could be deformed because the plants were poisoned. We must learn to think good things. Every good thought is felt by everything, which causes everything to be happy.

Creator, let my thoughts only be good thoughts.

Elder's Meditation of the Day - December 16

"If you have one hundred people who live together, and if each one cares for the rest, there is One Mind."

-- Shining Arrows, CROW

One of the principles of Community is Unity. The alignment of thoughts in groups of people will cause One Mind to form. One Mind is Unity. Each individual in the community must align their thoughts with what other members are thinking. If all the people think of helping one another, then the community will be service oriented and powerful results will be enjoyed. Having our thoughts aligned within a group will cause our children to experience a positive environment. When they have children, the grandchildren will automatically experience these results also.

My Creator, help me to contribute to positive group thought.
