Honorable Beings of Mother Earth
by Dane Larson

The traditional methods of teaching come from an oral tradition. They have been whispered, spoken, chanted, drummed and danced fro hundreds of thousands of years, and they are imbued with the mystery of starlight, firelight, dawnlight. It is now that these sacred teachings are to be passed to all so that they may kindle within our heart a great joy in the gift of life; in having friends, family, co-workers, a community to live and learn with; and in the opportunity to renew in this time the Sacred Hoop of life on this planet. So recognize these words as a carrier wave for wisdom's pure light.

Their intention is to strengthen individual's relationships with their families, communities, nations and the land, the Earth herself. I invite people to be in good fellowship and to respect the teachings of their family of origin. Thus may we all cooperate in manifesting a vision of peace.

These words themselves, or the symbols that make up the words, they are a small part of the interaction of the reader and creations. Life and death, manifestation and formlessness, are all within the circle, which spirals out through all dimensions. And so patterns of the past echo in the present and resound through the future. Our timekeeping systems reflect the spiral as interlocking wheels of energy and consciousness ever in majestic motion together. During these cycles of time certain teachers continue to manifest in Americas to express the same essence, the same wisdom and they come at appropriate times to remind the people of harmony.

According to the ancient teachings and calendar, a great darkness would fall upon the peoples with the end of the cycle of worlds called the thirteen heavens. Over five hundred years age (1531) a Council of Elders of the Red Nations of North, South and Central American was called to ensure the survival of the sacred teachings through the coming age of darkness. At that time the teachings were hidden within the home fires, in secret societies within family lines, to sustain the people through the times to come. On April 21, 1519 Cortes landed in Mexico and his coming wrought great destruction upon the land and the people that has lasted for close to 500 years. Yet the wisdom has survived within the home fireplaces, awaiting a time when the people would be of one heart, awaiting sturdy vessels to carry the fire out.

Thus for hundreds of years the sacred teachings have been kept hidden. In the late 1960s and early 70s different Elders of different tribes and bands decided that the time had come to share some of these sacred teachings with all those of good heart who were dedicated to manifesting peace.

Within these teachings are particular methods of training used in the ancient priest craft, entailing steps of development and example: teachings suitable for all people morals, manners and ethics. Practices for purifying ignorance and obscuration, for clarifying mind, for pacifying afflicting emotions, illusions and suffering for magnetizing the good and for actualizing the vision of peace and harmony held as a sacred ember within the heart of every being. These sacred teachings call upon one to become the best human being one can possible be to fulfill ones' unmanifest potential for the good of all beings.

In 873 B.C., as people began to forget some to their wise teachings, there came a teacher known as the Pale One to rekindle the sacred fires and reaffirm the basic principles of creation, that the temples might ever resound with the light of clear mind and the people live in harmony with Earth and one another. When the people had forgotten their original instructions, neglected their spiritual duties, and become war like, the Pale One came to rekindle the sacred wisdom fire. Born in a miraculous manner, his body emitted great light. He re-established the building of temples and schools, reformed the priest craft training, and gave methods for cultivating and maintaining peace within individual, family, clan, nation and planet. He rekindled the hold fire and renewed the original instructions encoded within all beings to act as one with the sacred law and bring all thoughts and actions to harmonious resolution.

The Pale One established the lineage of these teachings 2877 years ago. Since then there have been 28 generations who have been entrusted to maintain these teachings, to ensure methods of stabilizing the mind in times of confusion. By invitation into particular spiritual societies according to ones clan and particular lineages loving within those clans these precious teachings have been brought forward to this time. Let us remember to remember these most precious sacred instructions for our actions in this time. With our thoughts, our words and our actions may we build a world of peace and walk in beauty and be one with creation.

The Pale One left many prophecies and wonderous teachings. Let us remember that the practice of sacred relationship is practice of good relations with all in the family of life. Thus Pale One gave seven reminders to the people, that all might recall and honor the unity of the hoop:

What walks, swims, flies or creeps is in relationship; the mountains, streams and valleys and all things are related to your thought and action.
What occurs around you and within you reflects your own mind and shows you the dream you are weaving.
Three principles of awakened mind guide enlightened action: will to see the mystery as it is; intention to manifest one's purpose for the benefit of all; courage to do what must be done.
Generosity of heart and action brings peace and abundance to all in the circle.
Respect for elders, clan, land and nation inspires acts in harmony with the sacred law, good care taking of the gifts received.
Action to benefit the land and the people unto seven generations shapes the consciousness of the Planetary Caretaker, dreaming those yet unborn, ever mindful of lifes unfolding.
To be in good relation, transforming patterns of separation, pacifying conflicting emotions, is to experience the wisdom within, still lake of Mystery.

Arising from these teachings are nine precepts in the Code of Right Relationship:

- Speak only words of truth.
- Speak only of the good qualities of others.
- Be a confidant and carry not tales
- Turn aside the veil of anger to release the beauty inherent in all.
- Waste not the bounty, and want not.
- Honor the light in all, compare nothing; see all for its suchness.
- Respect all life; cut away ignorance from one's own heart.
- Neither kill nor harbor angry thoughts, which destroy peace like an arrow.
- Do it now; if you see what needs doing, do it.

The opportunity of life is very precious and moves very quickly. May these words inspire action in relieving the suffering of the peoples of the world. May all beings realize freedom from suffering and all conflicting thoughts reach resolution, that the great Fire of Wisdom may burn in our hearts and shine forth in all we do, as enlightened action benefiting all our relations.
