people who are strong enuff to carry a lie and pass it on like a game of tag .... are strong enuff to be tagged but only with truth
I hear so much that i kept from everyone and only the people that are truly close to me can really be aware of the many stupid things that people choose to believe about what is truth. There is only one truth and there are no versions or segments or chapters that can be changed to the strength of one man and the weakness of another. Truth helps... truth heals and truth is the close sibling to "Love" Allowing a figment of someone's imagination to hurt another is not truth! It is lie that continues to hurt because it only grows like a cancer inside the body of humanity.
I will not elaborate which lie is directed towards me, because i dealt with so much crap in this path that i was chosen to walk. Just believe that lies are like debts... they must be paid for some day !!

Probably the hardest thing for people to achieve is to move forward from traumatic event or episode. The keys to discovering these moments are to rediscover the elements to that event within. Clinical people will always address the moments that they perceive as regression by moving mentally from one area to another with your psyche. The only times when you regress to those moments unconsciously is through the many triggers that are present at any given moment.
As a spiritual person that sees beyond the mentality of the many clients that I have dealt with, there is a many moments that are compounded together that creates new persona within people that eventually steers the person from the destiny which they were born for. All too often they deal with their pain by helping other people that are dealing with trauma that are similar to theirs. Sometimes when they haven't accepted the pain, they are incapable of feeling anything at all. These are the type of people that i seek because they eventually create more pain and trauma in the universe not to mention the community that you may live in.
Moving forward is not just a phrase it is an actual movement that will be created to spawn new ideas in the country and continent that we live on. With the world depending on economic progression to reflect our stature within the world and the disgrace of creating democratic society in societies that were once dominated by dictatorship leaders that used only fear as a manner of leading. Would you eventually reflect on our own society and see the many messages that are splashed in the media. For aboriginal people " Sign treaty or Get nothing" or "sign dotted line for all the trauma that you survived in residential school and pretend that nothing happened at all"
With the missing women of Highway 16, also known as the "highway of tears" We must move forward from that name so that we can have a highway of hope so that no more tears will fall amongst our population.
Moving forward; by moving backwards!! Go back to that child within and nourish his/her pain and soothe them within. If dealing with a loss of someone that you loved, go back and remember the words that healed! Don't think of the moments that you wished you could take back. These keep you in one place and only makes you a person running on a treadmill with the speed on the highest level, soon you will fall to see that it only hurts you and the others that see you as an authority figure.
This may be the year that all belief in a 2000 year old belief and create new pathways to believing on the one that you should believe in the first place!! Yourself, you make what you create, you create blocks because they are easy to deal with than the gates to new lands that you will have deserved. Creator will be proud of you for the decisions that you make good for yourself and ultimately everyone that crosses your path. We are all pioneers these days ! Just look behind you and see the many people following your steps.

2008 may just be the year to remember all the chiefs that lead our people from disasters and towards the choice of healthy lifestyles. Throughout their lives regardless of religious backgrounds, they have stated openly in public realms that the only method that our people can be kept intact and be regarded as a "distinct" society is to keep out spirits clean by keeping our bodies free from influences that tarnish the state of being that we once were.
So far since the beginning of 2008 there has been a steady stream of chiefs lined up to go across the great pearly gates. The ones that are left without their presence may feel lost or untouchable because of the great loss that they may be feeling. The best words i can give these people is to remember the great times, remember the words that they openly stated and rewind over and over the message that they may have attempted to give you in life. Messages are endless and can be reached for just like you would if you were reaching for the remote to an electronic device. Except it is true the remote is a real tangible object that you can touch. So is that memory that you have hidden inside of you, we may have blocked it out because we were either playing a nintendo gameboy or something but, you must remember that in everyday life we use only 10% capacity and although we were focused on the gameboy much of your subconsious attention was recording everything around your entire environment, from the person picking their nose beside you in your side view, to the baby across the room crying their head off, and alas the great message your grandma, grandpa, mother, father uncle or aunt was giving out in that moment. Reach out to that message inside you and believe that the life after death is within our hearts! Spiritual forms of the passed person always comes in two or more forms. Sight and smell, motion or hearing a faint voice, almost always there is a distinct scent that comes with the visit. Be open !! It sucks for the loved one to visit and be chased away because we still can't believe in spirits due to religious belief.
Native people regardless of wetsuweten, dekelh, gitxsan or navaho were all in the same wave length with the spiritual frequencies and constantly sought advise from a passed chief and the answers most often came in the form of dreams or visions within a sweat. Although you may feel lost from the grief of not being able to touch your chief again, really inside when you think of the hug before a celebration cake, you have touched them and they have hugged you always and in that memory will always hug you.
Most times we are people that been through assimilation tactics and through these tests in proving our survival, we often only remember the bad times, the time you may have disagreed with your chief and said stuff you know you can't take back especially now since the big passing.
Try to accept that you are a strong willed person or weak one but either one, you are you and your chief accepted you for who you are and in most times of peril, protected you!!
2007 may be remembered for all the lost people that walked their own direction and the gate was open to them as well, but 2008. Will be remembered for all the great chiefs that cross over and the names will be passed along with the blanket or stick to show that the status is always within the family. The biggest change in the new chief world is that the rug that covered all the skeletons will be pulled and the skeletons will be put to where they belong!!
