Blue
sky, clouds, and Father Sun reflected in the blue waters of the great
sweet water sea of the Ojibwe people. The old man shifted himself to
relieve the strain on his knees and back. Sister Wind blew the
fragrances of the forests, rivers, and Mother Earth to him. He
inhaled the sweetness and sang songs of thanks. He had lost count of
the many winters past. Many days he had walked in the beauty and
wonder of Dreamtime. He had come back each time bringing secrets and
wisdom for his people. His love for his people had kept him coming
back to share this treasure. Through his dreaming he had opened new
doors of possibility. His stories pointed the way through difficult
times of famine, fierce cold, sickness, and wars. They brought
clearer ways of understanding so that everyone could see beyond the
simple day-to-day life.
He had separated himself from his people for weeks while he traveled
to a high place closer to the Great Spirit. Not eating for several
days as he prayed and dreamed, a white eagle appeared before him and
spoke.
"Why do you come to this holy place, human?"
"Brother Eagle, I seek a vision of wisdom so my people might live in a
beautiful way," he said.
"Is it not enough to be alive to rejoice in the pleasure of each day?"
said the white eagle.
"Yes, I have learned the beauty of living in the moment of each day.
This I have taught my people. Yet I believe there is an even greater
beauty that hides behind each moment and I have searched to know what
it means. I wish to know the way of the One. When I can bring this
wisdom to my people they, too, will know this hidden beauty."
"You have asked to receive a great and wonderful gift, human. From
this day you shall be called Eagle Dreamer, for you shall learn
through my eyes, the eyes of Wabishkie Ginu, the White Eagle."
"I shall bear the name with honor and humility, Wabishkie Ginu."
"Now, Eagle Dreamer, close your eyes and look into the windows of your
heart. There in the golden shadows of inner sight shall we soar at
the top of the sky. I see all things and I bring wisdom from the
Great Mystery. In your heart you have become Eagle. Now we shall
journey beyond the dawn and into the heart of wisdom."
The White Eagle and Eagle Dreamer pushed off from the high place and
soared above the clouds. The entire world lay below, a richly woven
tapestry of color and texture. And they could see beyond horizons.
Eagle Dreamer was amazed at such beauty and wonder. He could see from
far above the world with the far-seeing eyes of the white eagle.
After what seemed like forever and no time, in a great symphony of
color and silence the eagle said, "Within the Great Mystery are
principles upon which the universe is moved into and out of Being.
You can learn of these when your heart is open and your mind is at
peace. This wisdom is always before you throughout your Earth
Journey. Simply atune your awareness to the natural world around
you. Have you noticed the shape of the sun, Eagle Dreamer?"
Looking toward the sun, the old man replied, "A circle."
"And what do you think is the path of the sun across the sky from
sunrise to sunset to sunrise again?
"Well...it must also be a circle!" he said.
"And the seasons passing from the time of cold to the time of new
growth to the time of warm days to the time of falling leaves to the
time of cold again?"
"A circle!"
"What can you learn from the path of our flight, Eagle Dreamer?"
There was a pause as he considered the question. "We seem to be
flying in circles," answered the old man.
"You see that the world is made of circles, and circles within
circles. Look for these and you shall begin to understand. There is
more." They soared so high that they could see that earth was also a
circle. "What is happening to the clouds below?" asked the white
eagle.
"They seem to be travelling in circles," said Eagle Dreamer.
"Hidden in these circles is the spiral," said the eagle. "The clouds
spiral through the air the way whirlpools spiral in the water. Look
inside all things and you will see the spiral."
They began a glide that carried them over hills and valleys, rivers
and lakes, deserts and forests. Soon the hills and valleys
reappeared, and the rivers and lakes. As they circled they came
closer and closer to the pinnacle from which they had begun.
Suddenly, in a flash of white wings they were standing in the high
place. "Eagle Dreamer, look closely at the cone on this pine tree.
How is it constructed?" asked the white eagle.
"The scales are arranged in a spiral," said Eagle Dreamer.
"And you will see that there are spirals that cross. What is at the
joining of the two spirals?“
Eagle Dreamer examined the pine cone closely from different directions
and said, "Where the spirals cross there is a seed. At each crossing
there is a seed.“
"In this seed you will find a truth. And what did you observe about
the path of our return flight?"
"We seemed to have been soaring in a circle that got smaller and
smaller, " said Eagle Dreamer.
"Yes, and within that circle is a deeper truth." Wabishkie Ginu began
to disappear as silver mist began to descend upon them. "Our path is
a spiral leading from the outermost view of the world to the
innermost, the hidden. This is the Great Mystery hidden within you,
hidden within All That Is. The spirals are the key to discovering the
Great Mystery, to knowing the One."
Thunder
in the distance and a sudden gust of wind brought the old man to a
sudden awareness of the need for shelter. He clambered down among
the rocks to a shallow cave under a rock overhang. There he would
remain safe and dry from the thunderstorm that was coming. Lightning
crashed between the mountain tops, splintering trees in explosions of
flame. He picked up two stones and for the next several hours he
carefully hammered his new discovery into a memory of stone. A
Spiral.

This is a crazy world. What can be
done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been taught that we can
control government by voting. The founder of the Rothschild dynasty, Mayer
Amschel Bauer, told the secret of controlling the government of a nation
over 200 years ago. He said, "Permit me to issue and control the money of
a nation and I care not who makes its laws." Get the picture? Your freedom
hinges first on the nation's banks and money system. That's why we
advocate using the
Liberty Dollar, to understand the
monetary and banking system. Freedom is connected with
Debt Elimination for each individual. Not
only does this end personal debt, it places the people first in line as
creditors to the National Debt ahead of the banks. They don't wish for you
to know this. It has to do with recognizing WHO you really are in
A New Beginning: A Practical Course in Miracles.
You CAN
take
back your power and
stop volunteering to pay taxes to the collection
agency for the BEAST. You can take back that which is yours,
always has been yours and use it to pay off your debts. And you can send
others to these pages to discover what you are discovering.
