"Divine control and unquestioning obedience to God are the only conditions necessary for a spiritual life. Divine control means absolute faith and trust in God, a belief that God is the Divine Principle in all things and that He is the Intelligence and the Love that controls the universe. Unquestioning obedience to God means living each day the way you believe God wants you to live, constantly seeking the guidance of God in every situation and being willing to do the right thing at all times.".......

"Know this, and know it well...you cannot take care of spiritual problems with natural means.
Modern day 'Christians' have led themselves away from spiritual awareness.
Cooperation with God is the great necessity for our lives. All else follows naturally. Cooperation with God is the result of our consciousness of His presence. Guidance is bound to come to us as we live more and more with God, as our consciousness becomes more and more attuned to the great Consciousness of the universe. We must have many quiet times when we not so much ask to be shown and led by God, as to feel and realize His presence. New spiritual growth comes naturally from cooperation with God."

"Once we are "born of the spirit," that is our life's breath. Within us is the life of life, so that we can never perish. The life that down the ages has kept God's children through peril, adversity, and sorrow. We must try never to doubt or worry, but follow where the life of the spirit leads. How often, when little we know it, God goes before us to prepare the way, to soften a heart, or to overrule a resentment. As the life of the spirit grows, natural wants become less important.".......

~Native American Wisdom~
"I will follow the white man's trail. I will make him my friend, but I will not bend my back to his burdens. I will be cunning as a coyote. I will ask him to help me understand his ways, then I will prepare the way for my children, and their children. The Great Spirit has shown me - a day will come when they will outrun the white man in his own shoes."
( inspired by 'Many Horses'®...from a friend to a friend R.I.P. )

~Rigid personality definition~

"And..are not the attributes of Idolatry...many.
lifeless object with no power...
representation of anything real or imagined..
including but not excluding...jealousy, anger,resentment
“When it comes to idolatry, the danger is not in an item… it is in us.”
Idolatry is anything that either disproportionately consumes your thoughts, actions or resources."

~From the 1927 Grand Council of American Indians~
>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>>>
"The white people, who are trying to make us over into their image, they want us to be what they call "assimilated," bringing the Indians into the mainstream and destroying our own way of life and our own cultural patterns. They believe we should be contented like those whose concept of happiness is materialistic and greedy, which is very different from our way.
We want freedom from the white man rather than to be intergrated. We don't want any part of the establishment, we want to be free to raise our children in our religion, in our ways, to be able to hunt and fish and live in peace. We don't want power, we don't want to be congressmen, or bankers....we want to be ourselves. We want to have our heritage, because we are the owners of this land and because we belong here.
The white man says, there is freedom and justice for all. We have had "freedom and justice," and that is why we have been almost exterminated. We shall not forget this."

"Depression is a demon! Depression is rooted in the spirit of fear. Depression is simply a chemical imbalance in your body. If you or your church does not have an understanding of spiritual things then it will be hard for you to understand what you are reading in the Bible. Bitterness, guilt and fear have legal grounds in you when you have depression. You need understanding and prayer from a man of God that has been called by God and not ordained by an organization or called by his Momma! "............
