Re: The Chalice of Wisdom - Part 2
"That was the moment the knowledge descended into my heart and I understood. Really understood. Crises, change, all the myriad upheavals that blister the spirit and leave us groping –they aren’t voices simply of pain but also of creativity. And if we would only listen, we might hear such times as beckoning us to a season of waiting, to the place of fertile emptiness."

The Wisdom of Sitting Bull’s Grandson
In 1969, my Grandfather, Frank White Buffalo Man (grandson of Sitting Bull), shared with me a wonderful spiritual insight and understanding that relates, among other things, of how we must learn to respect, honor, love, support, and understand each other as different nations, tribes, communities, peoples, religions, and cultures of the human family and the spiritual qualities needed to be victorious in manifesting freedom and human rights. He said, “You know grandson, the Great Spirit has given all people wisdom. To every living thing, he has given something special. Some people receive their knowledge and understanding through books. In your life grandson, you too must read and study books, but remember to take with you on your journey only those things that bring more unity within yourself and others, that bring goodness and understanding and help us to serve one another in better ways.” read on http://in5d.com/the-wisdom-of-sitting-bulls-grandson/

Re: The Chalice of Wisdom - Part 2
Still, what I want in my life
is to be willing
to be dazzled—
to cast aside the weight of facts
and maybe even
to float a little
above this difficult world.
I want to believe I am looking
into the white fire of a great mystery.
I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing—
that the light is everything—that it is more than the sum
of each flawed blossom rising and falling. And I do.”

Mindfulness is the root of all the methods that tame the mind. First it focuses the mind. Then it eases the mind. Finally it is the luminous nature, beyond thoughts.

Most of the sound is coming from this acapella group and not from instruments... except the drum.

What to do When The Going Gets Rough
Therefore, when our intention is sincere but the going gets rough, must of us could use some help. We could use some fundamental instruction on how to lighten up and turn around our well-established habits of striking out and blaming.
The four methods for holding our seat provide just such support for developing the patience to stay open to what’s happening instead of acting on automatic pilot. These four methods are:
First, if we have not set up the target, it cannot be hit by an arrow. This is to say that each time we retaliate with aggressive words and actions, we are strengthening the habit of anger. As long as we do this, without doubt, plenty of arrows will come our way. We will become increasingly irritated by the reactions of others. However, each time we are provoked, we are given a chance to do something different. We can strengthen old habits by setting up the target or we can weaken them by holding our seat.

Pema Chödrön on four ways to hold our minds steady and hearts open when facing difficult people or circumstances.
The most straightforward advice on awakening enlightened mind is this: practice not causing harm to anyone—yourself or others—and every day, do what you can to be helpful. If we take this instruction to heart and begin to use it, we will probably find that it is not so easy. Before we know it, someone has provoked us, and either directly or indirectly, we’ve caused harm.Therefore, when our intention is sincere but the going gets rough, must of us could use some help.

The four methods for holding our seat provide just such support for developing the patience to stay open to what’s happening instead of acting on automatic pilot. These four methods are:
- not setting up the target for the arrow,
- connecting with the heart,
- seeing obstacles as teachers, and
- regarding all that occurs as a dream

3 free meditations from the Sacred Science team
Over the past week, we've shared a few incredible videos from the 2015 Tapping World Summit. We always do everything we can to support this free online event in any way we can, for one simple reason – EFT tapping is one of the most promising new alternative healing options we know of.
Much like the approach used in most native wisdom traditions, EFT takes you right into your truth and works outward from there. Combining ancient methods from Chinese Medicine with conventional psychotherapy, this extremely unique technique can bring about instantaneous physical, emotional and psychological results.
It is one of the only modern methods I know of that can target those illusive inner blocks that need to be released for lasting wellness. In fact, a few of our shaman friends from Peru have insisted that I show them how to incorporate EFT into their own medicine work!
If you'd like to try it out, I've included a link below that will take you to 3 FREE tapping meditations that you can put to use right now.
Click here to access them
Here is a brief summary of each exercise and what condition it addresses:
1 - From Overwhelm to Calm
(Something that we Westerners can all use on a daily basis!)
2 - Releasing Feelings of Not Being Enough
(A very common challenge that often keeps us trapped.)
3 - Overcoming Procrastination
(We all face this when trying to achieve what we want in life.)

Re: The Chalice of Wisdom - Part 2
Granting Beingness
We are all alive. If you look around you, you will find life in all of it’s glory and splendor. Whether you use physical or spiritual perception, all that you see, in every direction that you look, you will find life in all of it’s infinitude. Life does not survive, it exists. The physical manifestation may come and go, but this is only a demonstration of life, and is not life itself. Life IS.
If we momentarily pretend that the physical life around our bodies is life itself, to that end will we pretend to ‘survive’. And in that survival we ensure our right to live by overcoming all the other life we may imagine or come into contact with. But this is not surviving, it is pretending.
Granting beingness has no pretense. There is no veil in which we filter our perception with. Granting beingness is recognizing, acknowledging, and enhancing the existence of others around us. We are not alone and in sharing existence with others, when we acknowledge the existence of others, we find that life contains the wonderment that is completely missing from the pretension of survival.
If you are worried about your survival then perhaps it may be to your benefit to find out why. We are not alone, and if you busy yourself with surviving, then be assured that others are doing the same. The enemies you create will either force you into slavery or they will provide the impetus for you to overcome the survival game itself. Granting beingness releases the enemies you have created and sets you free.
It’s easy to spot those who grant beingness. They make you feel good, not only about yourself, but about the world at large. They view the universe without the veil of perception, and this comes across in their communication to you. You catch a glimpse of something far greater than yourself and when you do, it makes you want to get it. Surviving the game of life requires that you attain it, you can’t win otherwise. To survive is to kill yourself off as a player. Granting beingness takes chess playing to a whole ’nother level. :-)
The way to spot the survival game in action is to watch for the signs. Refusing to understand another’s perception is one. Another sign is when someone denigrates someone else’s perception. Surviving the game is considered dangerous, and to overcome that danger it is customary to deny your opponent’s right to their thoughts. A sign of surviving is how well you have forced your thoughts, ideas and considerations upon others. A sign of granting beingness is how easy it is to accept another’s position on an issue. The time track is quite long. It is really, really, long. Do you actually think that those thoughts of yours have never been addressed before. You already know the answers, all you have to do is let someone else know theirs. Granting beingness gives another the right and privilege of finding out their own answers, in their own times. Don’t you deserve that right as well?
You can’t give another what you do not have. I wish for you to recognize, acknowledge, and enhance yourself so that you may pass the gift to another. Sooner or later it’s going to happen anyway, so why fight it? :-)

"What then is our course, what the manner of our flight? This is not a journey for the feet; the feet bring us only from land to land; nor need you think of coach or ship to carry you away; all this order of things you must set aside and refuse to see: you must close the eyes and call instead upon another vision which is to be waked within you, a vision, the birth-right of all, which few turn to use."
–Plotinus from "The Enneads," I.6 [1], translated by Stephen MacKenna.
