Horses

I have been asked why we never post equine articles.  The answer ....... still waiting.  After thinking about it for some time I have come to the conclusion that I must of felt people were coming to the blog to learn about themselves and not horses.  Is there really a difference?

In Khotani teaching all of life is connected.  How many times have you read or heard these words?  Yet, people are funny creatures.  They are most often focused on exterior issues relating to the more surface aspects of their own being.

Everyone is unique, having interest’s specific to their individual self.  Most people are just not interested in horses, at least not seriously.  However, there are hundreds of thousands of people that range from the backyard horse lover to the professional horseman or woman. 

I apologize to our friend and you.  To you both I now write.

In ‘The Way of Khotani’ the horse is a highly evolved creature.  We see this wonderful animal on the brink of moving into the human kingdom.  Like everything in nature the horse speaks to and with us, however, we are usually not listening.  Every movement of our four legged brother is a message.  Their Soul is speaking a language that our Soul understands. 

In working with horses most of my life I have learned that there is much more to learn.  Horses usually work their rears off attempting to get us to understand.  As long as we are thinking and speaking in English it will be hit and miss.  Yet, let us get outside of our selves and we GET IT.

We must become believers in the horse.  We must know that this creature is a highly evolved animal, capable of doing some pretty amazing things.  What has the horse been to us; a best friend, healer, therapist, teacher, fellow athlete, partner in crime and babysitter.  

So, we will begin to write about and for our good friend The Horse.

What If


What if you we’re living simultaneous lives?
Consider for a moment that there are multiple planes of existence, running concurrently.

What if you could alter the past, changing the negative aspects of your life?  Is this unimaginable for you?  For most it is.  However, there is an ancient teaching that says you are walking many roads of an ancient hoop, all at once, all right now.  If this is so then imagine...

There are four corners of a vast universe.  Within this square is a sacred circle or hoop.  The circle is the road that you walk.  All life as you know it exists on the sacred ring.  It is what the elders referred to as ‘The Circle of Life.’  All things are connected, inseparable.

You are constantly moving around the hoop.  You find your self north, south, east, west and in the quarter directions.  You move freely upon the sacred circle, from lifetime to lifetime.  Each life upon this earth leaves a path in the Mother, showing where you once walked.

Your essence is upon every rock you have touched, every stream you have drank from and every breath you have shared.  You have left a lasting impression.  Each time you ‘Soul Walk’ more of your essence permeates the atmosphere.  You are everywhere and in everything.

Contrary to the circle of life is straight time.  If the sacred circle could be cut and straightened out you would have linear time.  It is the way that most people see life.  In linear time you are considered in the center, equal distance from the far left and far right ends.  The left is past, the middle is present and the right is future. 

In linear time there is no possible way for the past to be in the present or future, nor can the future be in the past or present.  Each of these past, present or future lives or experiences are separate and only slightly influence each other.  They become a part of your memories in linear time.

Deep within the inner aspects of your being is stored a truer memory of your self.  These true memories are of your life on the sacred circle.  They are recordings of your Soul Walking upon this earth.  Your past and future lives and experiences are inseparable from your present existence.

What if the far left and far right of the linear line were connected?  Your mind would see the sacred circle again.  You would see that the past joined with the future, making the present state of your being.  You would see that past and present experiences in this life and past lives join, making them always in a present state of being.

The sacred circle shows you that everything is always now.  You’re past experiences and lives are assumed as such because of linear teaching.  As long as you see your life or lives along the linear line you will never see or know your True Self and its memories as opposed to those of your false self.

Imagine... What If.

Website Update

The website has now been up 12 days.  Even though it is not close to being finished, we have been visited by scores of people from 21 states and growing.  We want to thank everyone for your support.  

We are currently working on the human health side and Equine pages.  We will be adding formulas, testimonials etc. to both.  We will also be adding information on the Dorman May horses.

People have been asking about our seminars.  We plan on getting something added that will explain in a little more detail what we offer.  We will also be scheduling future meetings in the U.S.

We get many requests asking about the teachings and how to learn more.  In the very near future we will be offering CD's and perhaps videos.  For those seeking a more structured curriculum we will be offering courses as well.

Traditional Khotani counseling is available via the phone.  However, we are working on general group sessions in the near future.  We address traumas of all types, helping people get in ‘Right Relationship.’ 

Anyone have a testimonial?  We are once again accepting testimonials.  As many of you know we were overwhelmed with them.  Without a website we had no place to show the world.  Now we do.  So feel free to send one and we will get it posted sooner or later.

Again, thank you to everyone that has supported our work over the years.  Your support and encouragement keeps the old Khotani way alive and well.

A Traditional Heart


Though I cannot take credit for having penned these words, I will acknowledge the thirsting of my own spirit to hear them again and for sharing them with you.
                                                                                                    
Though I once walked blinded, my perception having become clear and distinct, revealing a world once lost to me.
I see now the place of my birth more clearly, desiring to return home, I understand the oneness of all things.
Seeking to be, I lost my self in the illusion of man’s time.  Yet, the Fire willed itself within my being and revealed its inner secrets.  Life was all that I saw, though not through the physical eye, but the inner Soul of my heart.
The desire ‘to be’ lost its will and I became that which I sought.  The longing to find peace became the way and TRUTH pierced the dark veil of my soul.
Master of the self, just walk, The Good Road awaits the foot beats of the enlightened.  All things become one, melding into the Soul of origin.  Breath Giver, the Soul of my being is the Self of ALL.

     We have all heard the word ‘Traditonal’ and its numerous definitions, yet we suppose this to be a thing of physical knowledge.  By studying the sayings of masters without application, we become nothing but another walking book, without THE LIFE.  The art of being Traditional comes from and resides in the HEART of man.
     Do I see only through my physical eyes?  Does my comprehension come solely from the mind?  Do I reside within the limitations of gross nature?  These are not truly questions, but rather answers to our soul’s current state, the evolution or location of our soul on the Good Road.
     To live Traditional, is to walk a road uncommon to the majority of people and finding your self in the presence of TRUTH, the essence of ALL things; to be that which is uncommon in mans world yet common in the place of True SPIRIT.

The Teacher



 Everywhere, everyday we are being shown the truth.

Nature is all around us.  She subtly directs our attention to the reason and the "why for" of Soul Walking.  She is alive with truth.  There is no answer to any question that cannot be found within the laws of Nature, for her laws are those of Creator; The Great Teacher.

Nature is the great determining factor in ferreting out truth.  Everything can be weighed on the scales of Nature’s divine law.  It is the manifestation of a greater force, its True Self.  You see, Nature is the very incarnation of Gohantane.

Nature is indivisible from the laws that govern Her nature.  She is the essence of that which is Her breath.  She cannot be anything else, it is impossible.  Her very existence is an outward expression of Her heartbeat, which is the breath beat of Gohantane.   

All that we desire to know is present before us.  Within Her domain we can weigh everything to see if it is truth.  If it is of the light it will be in complete unison with Nature and Creator.  It must, for Nature is a manifestation of Creator, The Great Teacher.

We are alive and well.

Humans? Horses? What To Make Of It

Some of you might be confused, wondering why we have a War Horse Formulas Facebook or a website addressing other than human issues.  Perhaps we can shed some light on this.

Medicine Bag Project is mufti-faceted.  We have numerous programs from equine health to human wellness to healing the land.  'In Right Relationship' is about life, all of it. 

From a Khotani perspective everything in life is connected.  We see our human relationship inseparable from the other three kingdoms of animal, plant and mineral.  We teach that to understand yourself you must first see the foundation.

Just as we are connected to every living kingdom, we are also intertwined with the other aspects of our own being.  ‘In Right Relationship’ also encompasses being in a ‘Right Relationship’ with yourself.  

Medicine Bag Project is about addressing life and teaching others how to do so; for we can only preserve the way by living the way.  To be in a balanced state with all things, especially your self, is our sole purpose for being here.

The Greatest Truth

The greatest truth is you.  For when you discover who you are, everything else falls into place.  Imagine every high and low we can trace to self.  Every joy and pain has their source within our own being.  The realization of this comes when you see clearly who you are.

You are the embodiment of Creator walking this earth.  You carry all the tools to ‘Walk In Right Relationship’.  This is the greatest truth.  It is in you.  However, you have been taught to search for it everywhere but the one place it resides. 

Are you happy?  Are you sad?  Find the stream and know its source.  Every creek, stream or river begins somewhere.  When you find its beginning you find truth.  Everything else has only a portion of truth in it. 

Within the center of your being resides the perfect Soul.  It is your spark.  It is without flaw and cannot be influenced by the laws of cause and effect.  The Soul is perfect.  It is the source.  Everything else is at best a smoky mirror. 

Every organ, element, feeling and mental activity is secondary to the Soul.  However, few there are that follow the Soul.  You have been taught to listen to the secondary leaders within your own being.  These less than perfected parts are important and play a key role in your discovery of truth.  However, they are not the source.

If you will think for a moment you will see that your mind, feeling and emotions have governed your life.  For instance take a song; it can make you happy, sad, motivated or mad.  Does the song tap emotional responses?  If so, where do they come from and where do they reside?  This is just one example.

You have been led by everything but your Soul.  Your life has been the product of your secondary parts.  Think of your conversations.  Think for a moment what moves you and why.  What caused your temporary balance or imbalance?  Do you have a reason for being here? 

Think about it....
