Native 10 Commandments

(Just more sharing of where I come from)



The Native American Commandments



The earth is our mother, care for her

Honour all your relations

Open your heart and soul to the Great Spirit

All life is sacred; treat all beings with respect

Take from the earth what is needed and nothing more

Do what needs to be done for the good of all

Give constant thanks to the Great Spirit for each new day

Speak the truth; but only of the good in others

Follow the rhythms of nature; rise and retire with the sun

Enjoy life’s journey, but leave no tracks

happy you liked it i will add more later

wow thats nice

Go Forward With Courage

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still;
be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists
-- as it surely will.
Then act with courage.

Ponca Chief White Eagle (1800's to 1914)

I was reading (in that book I mentioned to you, Donna) that everything is energy and when we eat plants we are absorbing their energy. That sounds like the commandment you mentioned about take from the earth only what is necessary.

Very peaceful commandments. I like incorporating these things into my own life and spirituality.

I too beleive that ALL living things have their own "life force" or energy. That is why we should respect all things living, and take time to care, nuture, respect and replenish them. In doing so, you will be repaid in multitudes. If everyone were to keep taking and not giving back, then everything would soon be gone, including us. There is alot that can be learned from nature.

take from the earth only what is necessary.
I think that also Is a very very important one

want to bump this,I love it!

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;

I love that one, I try to apply that in my life when I don't know which way to go!

I know I read this before, but its always a great reminder to read again. Thank you.
