I’ve been running across a lot of Native American stories lately that show an advanced understanding of living in the non-dual state. I’m not going to tell the story myself because you can hear it directly from a Navajo Elder. The Truth About Prayer… A Native American (Navajo) Perspective. This story is deeply interesting because …
It’s the words that get stuck in our head that cause craziness and conflict. This is what non-duality teaches. You can’t get rid of the words, instead you find what’s under it.
So why would prayer help us with our addiction to words? This addiction is manifested in way that words get stuck in our head. It’s the way they suck away our consciousness and make us think that we are words. How could prayer help with that? In our Native story this week, when the elder …
The part of our brain that tries to understand everything with words, and put names on things, is really the small part. The vast majority of our Consciousness is a silence with no words.
This week we have a great non-duality teaching from a Navajo Elder. He is talking about evil, and evil beings who come. What happens is they fool us. And one of the ways that they fool us is by giving us temporary happiness. Happiness that comes and goes. Confidence that comes and goes. Joy that …

He talks about the difference between what he hears from English society, how we view love, as compared to what he was taught in the Navajo traditional teachings. We see love as an emotion. “I’m feeling that I love you.” We …
Non-duality, in its simplest form, is about discovering what you are not. You are only one thing, and illusions are billions… so if you can eliminate everything that you are not, the only thing left over is you. Let’s that explore that a little bit. You are not your hat, because you can take off …
We don’t need to steal native spirituality for lots of reasons. Number one… really??!! Our ancestors (our parents and grandparents, who were spiritually bankrupt in many ways because they had had their native wisdom stolen from them generations ago) whizzed into all these countries: the Americas, Australia, New Zealand, all these places, and brought a …
So I was editing my last video on “Don’t steal native spirituality” and thought of an even more important reason not to do it. So I’m going to continue my rant — don’t steal native spirituality! It’s like… I know you you’re a modern person just exactly like me. And the biggest reason that you …
