Another aspect of evolution involved in reaching a place of Being is given in a passage of Mokesh, the golden eyed snake, the son of Kato'ya and Kalina, parents of the Tlish Diyan.

"A Warrior of Light assesses the Shadow of Fear for the illusion contained within the Shadow. He places himself strategically; no challenge is ever a surprise. Integrity, generosity, and respect are his principles.

"Love is the defense. Therefore, a Warrior of Light heals all dysfunction contained within. He knows the Shadow of Fear has hundreds of tricks to lure a person into the confusion. He seeks to eleminate as many of his own issues as possible. In dancing with the Shadow of Fear, he calls upon two aspects: wisdom and truth – these are his strategy and offense. Yet there will always be challenges as long as there is evolution. Even for a Warrior of Light ther will always be healing on new and unseen planes of existence. Only the Way of the Dreamer eliminates all dysfunction."

According to the Tlish Diyan we do not think as a cerebral function only, but also a cosmic function. When we think we create a current of thought. We are continuously creating currents of thought, and when we, individually emit these wave lengths, reach the realm of manifestation.

We perfect our nervous systems, and create currents of thought which, like electricity, like magnetism, like light, heat, are a form of cosmic energy, which are vitally real.

In this higher degree in our evolution, our currents of thoughts are not so much enmeshed in things of fear, nor involved in judgment and concerned with external affirmation of self, our thoughts are able to rise above polarity, where we create higher vibrational currents of thought which are strong enough to harmonize terrestrial gravity.

Terrestrial gravity has an effect on everything. We all know that a stone thrown up in the air will fall down, illustrating the effect of gravity as we believe it to be. But there is also a kind of gravity to which there is access by altering thought perception – and these thoughts rise above this sphere.

In measuring our currents of thought, they are growing ever stronger – through the laws of affinity, our currents of thoughts establish unity with other higher vibrational thoughts. We are a family of higher vibrational currents of thought.

And through unity and love we are able to establish contact with All That Is, which is the Unity of all energy in motion, known and unknown. This energy exists, as the light coming from our individual eternal flames, providing its own existence and essence outside its manifestation. All That Is – Bidaa – permanent, perpetual and eternnal – no beginning, no ending.

There is a very beautiful Tlish Diyan legend. Child of Water, one of the Hero Twins of Creation (Legends & Prophecies of the Quero Apache, 2002), was in meditation in what is now Canyon de Chelly. Many months and years had passed – for then time was not existent.

Came wind, came rains, the winds blew earth upon his body, little seeds fell there and the grass began to grow. There came two swallows who built a nest upon his shoulder. The swallows returned every year to their nest, but one spring they did not return. Then in the eyes of Child of Water, the first healer, one who had traveled the Star Path and returned, appeared tears, for he missed the swallows. And Child of Water discovered that he was not balanced without his twin; there was a rhythm in the heart and they worked to help maintain the balance of Earth Human resonance axis alignment.

This path of the Snake shows how we can tap ever higher forces of conscious memory, how we are setting ourselves free from illusion in which we imagine we are separate in universal life.

Tlish Diyan shows us how to extinguish the ember of fear's smoldering shadow and how to open up inexhaustable new sources of constantly renewed and created energies that lead us into ever more defined self vision. So we see that there is a purpose, a Path of Beauty; we possess the energy of healing; we know how to effect unity with peace; with the vibration of the Power of One.

Everything is in the flame, in the Eternal HeartFire, the Flame of Compassion, the Flame of Cooperation and Tolerance. We transform in this HeartFire. This most freeing fire. So does the Medicine Sing bring. All thoughts return to the source of Creation. It is a path that must be walked to experience.

A simple, natural life philosophy. Inner intensive peace, sharing with those that ask, and always an increasingly higher connection of family, a higher unity with the eternal All That Is, leading to balance and to progressive disappearance of the illusion which fear feeds.

What happens, then? By our nervous systems, we connect and unify thought. We experience, assimilate, becoming more and more in harmony with All Our Relations, and finally, we harmonize with the sphere of gravitation around Changing Mother, we unite and see.

According to Bik'egubijedidii... the Guardian of the Four Leggeds, everything of which we consist comes and goes and changes in us, but this force , this energy which we create, as a creation of a form of energy, of currents of vision which are projected, will never be lost, for every energy remains. Currents of reality are an elementary force; constantly created by us, perceivable by others. But they are not perceivable by all, for we are only able to perceive images we believe and contain. If these visions of reality as elementary force are sufficiently strong enough to overcome fear within our planetary reality, then they go to boundless time and space and unite with all the forces of creation which exist in the infinite Web of Life of different energies from All Our Relations, and not only humanity. And just as visions of reality go from us into space, so there also, All Our Relations send out vision to us, for co-creation is not only a priviledge of our existence but also in other children of the infinite. Indeed there exist incomparably family relationships between the species. These co-create constantly on the Path of Beauty and all these projected visions meet, forming conscious reality. Together, limites no longer exist, all influence the dynamic force of life. As we establish contact with this universal eternal ocean of the higher vibrational currents of thoughts of all beings which are capable by their degree of development of harmonizing with the gravitational forces of the planet, we are also capable of harmonizing with the gravitational force of our Changing Mother, we are united with this universal cosmic ocean and our thoughts are united and combined in the eternal ocean of higher vibration currents of thoughts. Jut as plants growing upwards harmonize with gravitation, just as a bird harmonizes with gravitation flying in the air, so is humanity, and combined this represents a high form of physical earth evolution, capable of harmonizing with Changing Mother's magnetics with thought. Our currents of thought are sufficiently strong and harmonize with Changing Mother's magnetics, then they traverse cosmic space, for the projection of the highest and finest energies of thought without limit and without time. Strong currents of thought are capable of crossing the universe ina moment and ths eternal cosmic ocean of higher vibrational currents of thought, this universal consciousness, is evolution unfolding.

This concept of Bik'egubijedidii, has had some late echoes even in the philosophy of the west. For instance, Goethe said that if we want to understand the Infinite, we must read the Infinite in every direction. Meister Eckehardt, the medieval Christian mystic, said that those who try to find God in definitions of dogma, will find the definitions and dogma, but not God. Those who searh for God without definitions and dogma, may reach God. There are as many great minds in history which held a kind of affinity with the philosophy of Bik'egubijedidii. Bik'egubijedidii recognized how dangerous it is to be one-sided, how danger it is to try to force our way of thinking, our philosophy or religion onto others. She knew that everyone will harmonize the understanding of the Universal Laws according to our degree of individual evolution. This is a very important point of Tlish Diyan which, through centuries, here and there, was even forgotten by many mystics themselves. Another example of clearness and lucidity of the philosophy of Tlish Diyan is Bik'egubijedidii's comments on the importance of affirming peace. To Bik'egubijedidii, the most important thing in life is not metaphysical speculation nor the forming of a philosophy, but to bring peace to All Our Relations, right here and now. She gives a very beautiful parable, with the irony off Voltaire. She describes how an individual is walking through the forest and is wounded by a poisonous snake. He immediately sits down and begins to speculate: From whence came the snake? From what direction - north, outh, east west? Who sent this snake? Who was the snake's father? Who was his grandfather? And of course in the midst of all these questions the poison reaches his heart and he dies. The poison is the symbol of conflict in Bik'egubijedidii's parable. According to Bik'egubijedidii, the first thing is to transmute the poison immediately. Release as much toxin as possible right away, transmut right away. After we have eliminated the toxin we have time to speculate on all the other questions, but dis-ease will not wait.

Another charming parable with the same message depicts a deer sleeping in a wooded glen when suddently a tree is struck by lightning and begins to burn. The woodland creatures run around, yelling at the deer... get out! The forest is burning! But instead of running out, the deer asks questions - what is outside of my territory? Perhaps I will be unable to find sanctuary. Is the hunter waiting? Where will I go? He wants to know everything before he leaves his wooded glen. And of course very soon it will be too late to leave.

According to Bik'egubijedidii, the whole world is burning in the flames of conflict, ignorance, intolerance, and arrogance. The flame of these forces is more deadly than burning wood. We must douse the flame, and smother the ember of fear that keeps us separate from All Our Relations. We must connect, and eliminate the flames of destruction. The only way to quench the flame is through the immediate manifestations of peace in each and every one of our daily lives. It starts in our own hearts.

And so with Taanaashkaada... the great Coming Together... the 5th World, many begin to walk the Wheel of Life in search of alternative life philosophy. They have chosen the beautiful and meaninful symbol of the Wheel, whose outer spiral symbolized the discovery of personal truth, moving continuously, and whose light directions represent the basic identity of higher self, leading to the center of the wheel, the only point which is permanent, the act of Being. The definition of Being has always been a much discussed subject in the philosophy of the Tlish Diyan. Being is non-existence, Being is existence. But when we say this, we still have not expressed that which is Being. What is meant is tht it is something which, at the present state of our senses and our minds, we connot yet fully comprehend. According to Bik'egubijedidii, to watch the Four Leggeds of the sacred Changing Mother is to come to understanding. It means that we establish contact with All That is - a contact from which we draw knowledge as from a book - but an immediate awareness of reality that is difficult to describe because our common reality cannot comprehend it yet. To establish flow with All Our Relations, to enter this state of Being, is a re-turning - a remembrance of harmony and balance.

This is the beginning of connection to cosmic thought. To discover self truth and establish connection with All That Is, begins with the first conscious choice to live a responsible life of co-creation. You see, all of you that are excited by the new movie THE SECRET, this knowledge has been around 10,000 years or more. The indigineous like the Tlish Diyan, have long lived their lives in this premise of earth-human resonance connection.

There is a correspondence between the Wheel of Life with the eight directional magnetic energies signifying the Spiral of Truth and the Tlish Diyan cosmology in which eight is a number of integration.

The individual who projects thoughts of fear, immediately aligns with others having those same thoughts of fear. The individual who creates violent thoughts, immediately aligns with those of violent thoughts. And he who creates currents of thoughts of hatred similiarly aligns with those having thoughts of hatred. So Bik'egubijedidii tells us we are our thoughts.

Our thoughts can be for us higher vibrational source of energy, harmony and knowledge. These thoughts create in us perfect glandular activity and direct our whole organism. There is an interchange between limitless and varied forms of energy and the energies of life and of individual existence. The question at hand is, where will you choose to put your energy today?

The ceremonies of Fire equip us with personal truth so we may become more loving toward All Our Relations. If we, after having been purified by fire, use our gifts in service to the whole, we benefit and are given further vision that we put forth as part of integrity's way. This strength from within helps us understand the Children of the Four Directions and we become more tolerant and loving towards All Our Relations.

Looking into the flame, beyond what the eyes can see, and seeing the many Ancestors around, we know we are never alone.

How can we be lonely or feel that no one cares, when the flame that burns within us is filled with Ancient Ones' prayers.

We have more to learn. Patience, understanding, selflessness and love - these are real evolutional developments. Some say FAITH, but faith IS love, Spirit love. When we have Spirit love we have faith. When we do for others without agenda, we gain, we develop selflessness. When we see situations in the light of learning from them, or allowing others their right to learn from the situations in their lives, we develop understanding. When we do not offend because others do not share our point of view, we develop patience. When we constantly send out love to All Our Relations every moment in time, we have Spirit love. This is evolution.

No judgment need exist, only lessons. Learn and move on. Forgive and release. Transmute in the Sacred Fire - O'izeege.

This time, perplexed as it may seem, is only a tiny part of a manifesting dream.

Think and act kindly towards All Our Relations. We were all born of the Sacred Parents, with divine purpose specifically laid out.

Rain and tears BRING SUNSHINE tomorrow. Love is manifested FROM THE SOUL, intent spoken. The GREATER WE now is becoming known. We give and receive. Love is everyWHERE, we are beginning to see. Co-creation begins by saying, "I am."

To accept each one as they are in their learning is UNDERSTANDING. Love without judgment or agenda is true understanding!

Vision is ever ready to hear our call, if our intent is true, our Guides will teach us! Never be afraid to Cry for Vision. Spirit wants to be with us, but we must ask before connection is established.

After you have read these messages, if each one lived these teachings, the world would know the Fifth World of Peace.

No words can say how it feels. The joy is too great when we enter the sacred gate of the west. Taasizi, Grandfather of the West, you wait patiently.

A smile, a tear, a hand extended - this is the sincerity and heartfelt compassion that brings peace.

All is revealed - the truth of the moment - all is found in the gentle flooding of the Sacred Parents deep love of All Our Realtions. No prejudice, hatred, jelousy or fear will darken our lives as Fifth World energy vibrates our being. This is the miracle of evolution and the truth of Sacred Laws now in motion. Spirit gives. Changing Mother gives to all, we need only to receive it - to feel it - to be humble like a child. Our Guides merge within and touch us, so gently, yet so powerfully. The energies exceed all expectations, because we are one with Spirit. Taasizi, we thank you for our visions of the upcoming year and beyond!

As humanity realizes this is A WAY OF LIFE, we become family. It was never intended that we be separate from others. All came to this plane of existence for a purpose, a learning. Each is equal to the degree that within the perfect child within is all there is to know, ready to be perfected by our experiences. Throguh our many lifetimes and worlds we grow to perfection. WE ARE INFINITY ALREADY. The western gate opens for our growth. The SHIFT IN WORLDS, IS HAPPENING FOR OUR GROWTH. The beauty andharmony and understanding to be received is too great to comprehend in this moment. But be assured there are greater things in store than our human eyes can see.

I write this to one and all, as directed through the young men currently in intiation. Through their experiences, they embrace the Path of Beauty. This is a Hero's Journey we all undertake... it is beginning. Think and feel THAT WE ARE; how and what we are, WE ARE. Such elemental self-awareness is obviously proper. It is only fitting for us to realize and experience our unique self-existence, because we stand in this time as co-creators, held responsible in our actions.

For it happens that we learn about our Time in Silence - our time of connection to Spirit - and feel a mounting desire to be more intimately united to Spirit, through the daily lives we live. Certainly this indicates grace is touching us. We walk through the door and witness potential.

In the dzil shaash'ni - Mt Bear Chant - ceremony performed two nights ago, I spoke the ideas of the Ancients. These were not meant to be paradoxic. I think our night and intent solidified changing time and will bring clarity to those whose heartstrings have been plucked. The initiation of our young men into the Fire Warrior Clan is the continuation of a mystical tradition, a reliable path into the Fifth World of Peace reality dynamic; and the path that has been of great value both to these young men, and all of us that follow the life structure of Esonknhsendehi - Changing Mother earth - and to those who follow other transcendental and contemplative forms of thought, is spiritual awareness.

This lifestyle speaks of two clear cut lessons in this initiation. The first initiation at dzil shaash'ni was the rejection of all thoughts about TRYING in order to be conscious of DOING. This is an existential lesson because of its essence of manifestation. But it is only the first lesson. The second lesson of the Stone Calf Way of Peace (1/6 - Little Rock, CA) is the rejection of all thoughts and feelings of alienation and separation to be conscious only of being connected to All That Is. In this way, this intiation leads all of us to total involvement in life and love. This is interesting.

I find these ancient ways relevant today. This is a path that is responsible and joyous, and attracts an inborn nature of sacredness. I look forward to the final initiation of this phase of our evolution during the Eagle Chant Vision Quest (6/14-22/07). This is truly a year living up to self-fulfilling prophecy!

diyi dihyu! power up!
Maria Naakai Ts'ilsoose

Bik'e gundinde, I confidently rely on this gentle stirring of love in my heart and follow wherever it leads me, for it is my sure guide in this life and brings me to the glory of my next adventure. This little love is the essence of life and without it life is not possible. Love is a personal commitment to All That Is. This means that will is harmoniously attuned to conscious choice in an abiding sense of responsibility and a passion for doing the very best that we can in any given moment.

Love is so refined and integral that it includes in itself perfectly both humility and clarity. For the same reasons and in the same way, it perfectly includes every life affirming action as well.

And so to stand firmly, we keep to the path we are on. We let our hearts beat upon the knowing that lies between us and Creation. We pierce Fear's shadow with the light of our love, giveaway all that no longer serves life affirming purpose. For love will eventually heal all. The Fifth World of Peace can now begin.

Our hearts lie open to Spirit's desire, so eloquent and from whom no secret pain can be hidden; pure of heart, outpouring compassion, we love All Our Relations with an unconditional love and respect richly deserved.

Imagination and feeling, both present. The nature of life causes character, and makes excellence accessible.

A personal sense of responsibility is inculcated in us, to be an ememplar for it is history that each of us raise in energetic vibration.

Yusn - the Giver of All Life - male entity energy force of All that Is, who was purposely created by All That Is, impressed upon All Children of the Four Directions a purpose far beyond our mere comprehension. All Our Relations have a language of their own, and the two leggeds can communicate with them through reverance to the combined Source embodying the wisdom to know, to do, to co-create life.

Changing Mother - Esonknhsendehi - in all her resilent splendor, holds the keys to all life; all things that grow upon the Sacred Ground, and in the depths of the Holy Waters wereh new life first comes into being.

The Spirit is a universal essence, the Natoh - Holy Smoke - an expression of its essence. The Spirit cannot get lost; it is everywhere at once. The Natoh makes us aware of the guiding light of Yusn.

Even as radio, which is human made, can pick up fine vibrations and translate them into meaning - now is our time, the vibration is finer, fashioned by All That Is, making us conduits for greater and more subtle vibrations. Pipes for the Sacred Natoh.

The will is one fo the keys of the physical body, for once you "choose responsibly" you collect one of life's most precious gifts, and become a co-creator and a sacred drum dancer. Embrace reality as you co-create it, and thus join the living celebration...

Natoh patterns form a mystic vision. Sacred spirals with naadindi'i'i - spiraling stones of emergence along the medicine wheel Path of Beauty. This represents a different interaction that affects life during day and night, early morning (sunrise) and at sunset, as well as during the seasonal cycles. Recognize... and celebrate.

Naakisi, Grandfather of the South, for me, what follows is a moment of magic. The encroaching chaos seems to recede into nothingness, and there hovers a sense of expectation that is transcendental. For this brief moment the serenity I feel is an embodiment of a whole, proud community, a magnificent family, who understands the silence, and is rewarded by its priceless wisdom.

We are learning to see and hear again, with our imaginations stimulated. The singing, dancing and chanting of our community soothes and stimulates us, while the sounds of All Our Relations draw our attention to the whole. always we love and respect and endeavor to understand our Relations. We know we come to fulfill the law of Nature, not to break it, and we teach others the exciting game of observation, indentification, communication and fulfillment with Changing Mother, who enfolds the loving heart, be that of two legged, four legged, wingged, creepycrawly, finned or plant nations.
We are like birds with two wings that can potentially lift us to the Path of Stars. No longer are we like a bird with a broken wing. One wing is the physical conscious thinking process, and the other is the spiritual, including the subconscious dream pattern. When the rhythm of the Path of Beauty (spiritual walk while upon the Changing Mother in physical form), they have mighty power, and carry us to the joyful heights.

We honor those that have gone before, Nohwiza'ye (the Ancestors), for they watch from the Place of Souls, as we speak their sacred names. The fire that is All That Is has flamed up and welcomed one and all. The lesson at hand is that of detachment. With this in mind, we prepare a pipe - on some occasions, the natoh, sacred smoke will sway gently as a tree, where the motion of the wind is associated with our inner rhythm. We face toward evolution where ceremonial chants are a part of the relationship of the wind, the birds, the trees, the fire, and the lodge.

We are protected on three sides by Nakia, Rainbow Snake Guardian, who holds in his 13 diamonds the keys to evolving.

Perhaps you have noticed how horses, cattle and other animals seem to be charged with extra vitality - change is eminent, so burst into jubilant capering and playful excitement. Their actions indicate to a trained observer that truth is in the air, even though the Shadow of Fear may yet be too near to definitely identify illusion. Some are looking for shelter, while others of us reveal ourselves to be healed. Traditionals, in particular, are remaining close to our ancient ways - a shift is here.
