2netis Posted February 15, 2011 Quotes from: Joseph Rael Shaman Picuris Pueblo, New Mexico, US "The oneness is, actually, the only thing that exists. It is the only reality. And it is nothing. Yet from that nothing comes all that is." "There is a supernatural power that every human being has, that cannot be cultivated by reading and writing. (To cultivate,) We must do something with our physical bodies and natural elements of the land, the fire, water, air, minerals and wood." "We came into this physical form to express an individual, particular vibration or essence." "Ceremonies we do intentionally as ceremony focus our energies on certain acts and lift us powerfully into states of consciousness through which we are literally drinking light." These quotes are from just the first few pages of Rael's book: CEREMONIES OF THE LIVING SPIRIT Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Easy Posted February 15, 2011 Joseph Rael...blast from the past. I recall doing sweat lodge, or something like it, with the man in the 80s. But I have to disagree with this... "There is a supernatural power that every human being has, that cannot be cultivated by reading and writing." ...that power is the most natural thing there is, nothing super about it. Folks call it Qi or Prana and those peyote guys up on the northern plains would call it 'medicine.' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
