Native American Wisdom:
Spiritual Principles
"Spiritual matters are difficult to explain because you
must live with them in order to fully understand them."
--Thomas Yellowtail, CROW
To know something we must become one with it.
We cannot know what a flower smells like until
we actually smell it. Close your eyes and
experience the fragrance.
The Elders say there are two worlds, the Seen World
and the Unseen World. To experience the Seen World
we need to physically pick the flower and smell it.
To experience the Unseen World we need to know about
principles, laws and values; and no matter what our
mind or our physical senses tell us, we must decide
and act on these principles.
If someone does wrong to us, we must pray for that
person or persons to have peace, happiness and joy
in their life. We must not get even or retaliate in any way.
Only by doing this can we understand spiritual matters.

Great Spirit, give me your power whenever my weakness shows
so I can live by spiritual decisions.
