Messages From The

“Spirit World”

~~~~~~~~~~~

We all can receive messages, signs, visions. We have to have the ability to open our minds, our Soul and our Spirit even our hearts to the Spirit world to be receptive of all of the creations. So Grandfather, the Great Spirit, the Sacred Council, these Spirits come to us in many ways, through the birds that call, of the people nocturnally or in the light of day. Creatures that crawl upon the Earth, on the ground, in the water, to open your Soul and Spirit to all of the people, bird people, fish people, animal people. They will speak to you and they will give you many messages if you will just listen and hear the word, the word coming off the tip of their tongue, the Sacred Word coming down from the Heavens, down from the Council. Experience what you will with all of these brothers and sisters that walk among us, that maybe do not speak what language we are used to hearing, used to speaking but it is possible to be in tune with all of nature and all of the creations. Experiences such as many, many years ago, the Western Screech Owl brought me a message by colliding with the thunderbird sticker on the left side of my windshield of my war pony, my pickup truck. If the windshield would not have been between myself, the driver and the bird it would have struck me in the heart. Looking all over the truck and a large trailer that was being pulled behind the truck there was no sign of any body debris or body fluid. Was it a Spirit bringing me the message of the death of my grandson through the Western Screech Owl.

Years later a very deep Indian

Spiritual, an emotional young woman was residing at my lodge, brought up to my lodge by the Great One, sent to my lodge by the Sacred Council for she was very heavily on drugs and a very outwardly practicing alcoholic. She was unclean, she had no direction in her life. Grandfather sent her to

Two Feathers lodge for shelter and for guidance. She had come by several articles of wearing apparel, a beaded choker to go around her neck which was found out in the forest laying on a rock. Her long black hair she put in a long pony tail with a beret which at one powwow jumped out into her hand. She had gotten all of this regalia together to go to a powwow and dance with the Spirit. In route to the powwow, Cricket is sitting on the passenger side of that same war pony, that same pick up that the Western Screech Owl had collided with several years prior and as Cricket was being transported to the powwow, she did not have a shawl so she would not have been able to go in Grand Entry without a shawl. Going along the highway toward the powwow a large white mourning dove struck the windshield of the war pony on Crickets side which is she would have not been protected by the windshield it would have struck her heart. After getting to the powwow she is in the ladies room putting on her makeup and the rest of her regalia, one of the sisters asked her are you going in Grand Entry and Cricket said I have no shawl. The woman said use my shawl, come over to where I am and you can use my shawl because I am busy, I am tied up and I cannot go Grand Entry. When Cricket went to get the shawl from the lady it was the same color as the mourning dove that had given Cricket the message of the white shawl. Cricket danced with white shawl in Grand Entry. She danced in the steps of the Traditional Woman, perfect steps as if she had been born and raised to do exactly as she had done, by looking at her that is what a person would have believed but this was the first Indian step that she had ever done, perfect Spiritual dance.

Several months later an individual who is Canadian Michigan Cree on her mothers side but had never been allowed to practice any of the Indian Spiritual ways or even admit of her Indian heritage, her father all white and all non-Indian, very much against Indian Spiritual ways, never let Humming Birds mother hardly even admit that she was of the blood. Her mother crossed over to the other side and was cremated, only instead of spreading her mothers ashes out on the reservation or out on the plains where the buffalo are still roaming now, out where the free winds blow, out where this beautiful Cree woman could have gone back to nature, gone back to her free world, although her Spirit and her Soul was sent off of Panaci Spirit Drum Group, her Earthly Temple which had been cremated. It had been requested that it be scattered free on the plains, free on the mesa, free like the eagle. Humming Birds father put this Cree woman's ashes into the ground far, far away from where she wished to be scattered. Humming Bird had a blackness, darkness in her heart for her father. Many moons rose and set on her darkened heart. Humming Bird was taken involuntarily as far as she was concerned but I am sure that Grandfather, the Great Spirit, led her by the hand and by the arm and then those of the Council took her, guided her, led her to the powwow. She sat without moving for six or eight hours absorbing the beat of the drum, the rattle, the bald and golden eagles circling overhead, the dancers dancing with the Spirit in the Sacred area, she sat transfixed to that circle, circle of life. Inside this circle of life, this Sacred dance area, Spirits dance, Spirits talk with one another. After this all day transfixation on the drum beat, the dancing with the Spirits of the brothers and sisters, Humming Bird gets in the war pony on the right side, the passenger side, Cricket sitting in the middle and TaLi UGiDaTi, Two Feathers was the driver. I turned to go down a very sacred stretch of the highway and not a word had been said by Humming Bird from the end of the

powwow, like she was in a trance. All of a sudden out of the darkness a black bat with wings totally spread open collided with the windshield directly in front of and protecting her heart. Her physical heart that was inside her body would have been struck by the black bat wings spread. We traveled on to Two Feathers lodge to the Red Road Indian Spiritual Council house and when she walked inside Humming Bird said from the depths of her Spirit, it is over, no more black heart, no more dark heart. That was another message from the Spirit people, no physical material was left behind. Was this an actual black bat as was the White Mourning Dove, as was the Western Screech Owl or was it the Spirits bringing a message, surely it was not real bird people meeting their doom.

A while later a large Raven caused a large crack in the windshield but did the bird in a true physical state make the crack or was it the message so heavy that the crack was formed by the Spirit of that raven. The raven brought a message of separation of friendship between an individual by the name of Raven and the residence of Two Feathers lodge and the Red Road Indian Spiritual Council. The brother of the blood about an hour away from the lodge was very deep into the old ways of the medicine people only he was as they call it in the modern world, overdosing on this juju, on this good medicine. If you take a little bit it is good for you, if you take a whole bunch it will kill you, that is the way, the method. You have to be very careful with this JuJu, this good medicine. As the modern medical doctors say take two of these twice a day and somebody figures if two twice a day then four six times a day would really, really be good medicine, wrong, how incorrect. So Two Feathers, TaLi UGiDaTli, went to the lodge of this brother with some medicine, Spiritual medicine and was going to attempt in a communication with this brother, the brother rejected the communication but accepted the good medicine, so TaLi has this feeling that he does not want to go back because he feels dark Spirit on that ranch. So another Spirit brother says; TaLi you have got to take in another dose of JuJu, so I tell Four Winds I really, really do not want to go. I have to walk with this with Grandfather, with the Council. Charlie says one more trip Two Feathers to take it in and get out. Going into the lodge of this poor sick brother, not physically sick but a sickness, a darkness in his Spirit of this overdosing on this good medicine was escorted in by a Red Tailed Hawk, largest red tailed hawk TaLi has ever seen in his entire life as a Spirit even not just being on this Earth flesh, flesh and bone but his entire life as Spirit. So this red tailed hawk escorts him in, he leaves off the good medicine and his war pony and him and Humming Bird escorted back out by two large, huge ravens, black ravens escorted out to the highway. When the war pony stopped at the highway a very large, very colorful peregrine falcon came across as the war pony was stopped to safely go into the highway and go back to Two Feathers lodge, to the Red Road Council house. This Peregrine Falcon crossed from the East to the West across the hood of the war pony, opening the gate to safely go onto the highway then crossed back from West to East closing the gate to the ranch, do not go back.

TaLi, when he was at the lodge of this blood brother, brother of the blood did not want to go back and when he got in the war pony and was escorted to the highway by the two large ravens and when the gatekeeper, the peregrine falcon opened the gate to leave and closed the gate, TaLi knew in his mind, Soul and Spirit to never go back. Was that a real falcon or was it a message from the Spirit world, closing the gate to the ranch, do not go back onto that ranch with the dark Spirits with the sick brother even though you had left the good medicine. If he takes it as with the physical doctor he very possibly would get well but if he does not he will surely die. All Spirit brothers and sisters say that this brother will surely Spiritually die and when we Spirit people, we people from the Spirit world temporarily here on Turtle Island, Mother Earth in the flesh. When we speak of death we do not speak of being clinically dead but the death of the Soul and the Spirit, poisoned by what this brother thinks is the juju, good medicine that he is taking but it is not the juju he is taking that is the good medicine. What he thinks is good medicine is the dark Spirits speaking to him causing him to overdose on the dark Spirit medicine.

Now these messages from all of these bird people, the bat having wings, Spirit classification is that of a bird person. The howl of the wolf, the rut of the buffalo, the talking of the cougar, raccoons walking past your doorstep, a snake, a deer, an alligator, fish in the water, send out these messages, these signals. Same signal as if you turn on the television or the radio, same type signal as years ago, smoke code talking with the smoke of a fire or a runner taking a message from one village to another village or maybe one tribe or nation to another. Going in peace, red feather means one things, white feather means another, do not have to have it spelled out everybody knows if everybody just look and see, touch and feel the waters, the air, listen and hear the animal people speaking to you and you can speak back. When you keep your eyes open, the eyes of your heart, the ears of your Soul, the touch of your Spirit, you receive many messages from many directions not just the East and West, not just the North to the South but as wind picking up the sands of the desert, more directions than of the compass, more drops of moisture than in a cloud or in the ocean. Weigh the volume of the air that you breathe, the blood that the human heart pumps through the Earthly abode, Earthly temple of flesh and bone. All of these Spirits have been floating around forever, Spirits have no youth, Spirits have no age, Spirit is a Spirit and those of the Spirit world, listen and hear, we look and see, we touch and feel. We listen to all of the Spirits and the Spirits speak with knowledge. Listen to Grandfather, the Great Spirit,

Wakin Tanka, Manatu, Turawa, Usen, God, you listen and you will see, you look and you will hear the messages from the Spirit world. In the movement of the grasses and of the leaves when the boulder breaks open and has little baby rocks, the water flowing down a creek or down a river, the furling waves of the ocean coming into the shore, every sound a message maybe not of great importance maybe it is just conversation with another Spirit but if there is a message or a sign to be received that is, could be communication, communication between the Spirits. That was just a few of communications with the bird people that was shared.

Sometimes Spirit leads another brother or sister, it does not necessarily have to be of the blood but of the Spirit, a brother or sister of the Spirit world, of the circle but of the Spirit power circle. Sometimes, many times, you know another Spirit walking down the path but you do no know him physically. You know that Spirit, that Spirit says; I know you. A Spirit from way over across the mountains sent me to talk to you, Spirit says your a good Spirit person. I want to talk to you, I want to visit, I want to communicate maybe we just sit around and have a smoke, figure of speech, smoke like the old days. We used to smoke the pipe and when you smoke the pipe it takes a little time to take in the smoke through that long pipe and not necessarily mean to smoke the pipe or what is in the pipe but the smoking of the pipe gives you a chance to take a break and to think. Absorb what this other Spirit has spoken to you and time to think before opening your Spirit mouth and making a reply. Messages, Spirit messages come from all over,in the breezes, in the violent winds,the ripple of the water, the rolling of a rock, the rumbling from the bowels of the Earth, from Turtle Island. It is Mother Earth speaking to you, telling you to be a good Spirit person. You do not need to look up when a feather or a piece of down falls at your feet maybe the messenger has already left the area. When you hear the branch of a tree crack or moan there is no need to look around because you do not see a mouth move all you do is to hear a Spirit speaking to you through this tree, through that branch, leaf falls or a pine cone or an acorn will fall and roll or blow across in front of you. Tumble weed driving across the desert and you see nothing and all of a sudden there is a clump of sage say OSiYu right back, hello, have a good trip down the path.

Many, many Spirit messages come down from many, many ways, through the rock, through the water, through the trees, through the wind, through the rain, the delicate pure flakes of snow are messages, all Spirit messages, when you look across the mountain, across the desert. People who are not of the Spirit world call it a mirage, you think you see something, how wrong can they be, Spirit message, you know you want a drink of water, you know you are hungry and want a bite to eat. Spirit is just reminding you through this message, Spirit message that you are a human being, you are very vulnerable, you are weak and you are small, you need to get closer into the Spirit world. Look and see even though you reach out your hand and you attempt to grasp this water that you see, you reach out to touch but you do not feel. In the Spirit world you touch and you feel and you would have your drink of water. Follow the birds in their migration, watch the birds as they build their nests and you will learn how to build you a house of sticks and stone here on Turtle Island.

How many messages have you received today, how many messages while you have listened and hopefully heard what Spirit world has had to say, look around. No matter how many times you look at feather you will see that feather differently each time. Each time you hear the wind blow you will hear, listen to the breeze, each drop of water going down the stream gives you a message. The Spirit world is speaking to you, Spirit world full of messages, Spirit world full of vision, full of signs, not like you see along the highway or along the path but signs much more powerful if you look and see. Be with the Spirit world, speak with the Spirits of all the creations. You need medicine, take good medicine, do not overdose, do not take too much. Soul and Spirit will have to go on the other side to be recycled. Oh, you listen to Grandfather, listen to the Great One, listen to the Great Spirit and the Great Council that guides you through this life here on Mother Earth, Turtle Island, guide your Earthly Temple. Spirit world will guide your Soul and Spirit along the good path and the straight road, follow those light Spirits. Gather all these light Spirits hand in hand, gather your Spirit forces of light Spirits, go to war with the dark black Spirits, the evil Spirits. You go to war to win not just to fight, a war to the death and it will not be your death it will be black and dark Spirits death if you are in the Spirit world and no temptation is going to make you go live in that other world, that dark world. You have got the strength, you have the power to move the rock.

(A Me Nv) Amen, Ho.

I feel I should share one more story with you, it was several, several years ago. I was sitting in front of the State Capitol in the State of California and I was downtown in Sacramento. I had some business to take care of across the street from the State Capitol building and all of a sudden I reached up with my right hand and I grasped a Thunderbird bolo tie ornament. This Thunderbird is a pretty large Thunderbird, sterling silver with turquoise breast, turquoise wing tips and a turquoise eye. A Thunderbird always has lots of power. I reached up and this Thunderbird was hanging from the mirror of the war pony and it was hanging by black leather, black braided leather with a silver tip on each one of the thongs of the leather. This bolo tie normally goes around the neck and the Thunderbird goes up where the top button of a shirt goes but I thought it was nice and I thought it would show my Indian affiliation and my Indian Spirituality by having this sterling silver Thunderbird hanging from my mirror. I was parked in front of the State Capitol of California. I reached up with my right hand and I grasped the Thunderbird, I squeezed it so tight that blood ran from the palm of my hand. At that very moment, the exact same minute, unbeknownst to me, approximately twenty-two hundred miles away in Indianapolis, Indiana my nephew was dying of a massive heart attack. Where did this message come from except from the:

"Spirit World"
