Today

Everything happens because of today.  There is nothing, absolutely nothing that happens outside of today.  Yesterday is your today, today is your today and tomorrow is your today.  The past had and is a today, the present is a today and the future has and is a today.  Your present state is the today you create for the future.

There is no past or future only today.  We are everything in the moment of today.  Outside of today is a mere illusion.  Today is our present state.  The key is today, for the knowledge of it unlocks the door to ‘The Way of The Ancients’, Sean Dedma.  We are all that we are because of today.

Long ago elders taught that we create a life day to day.  We were given knowledge of how to form the world that we perceived.  Within Sean Dedma we were taught the way of the Teach Allais or Sweat House.  Like many traditional cultures within the Teach Allais we transformed ourselves.  Many things were taught and many separate ceremonies were performed.

Teach Allais gave us many things, however, the greatest knowledge we received was through silence.  The quieting of our mind allows for us to center our self within the Greater Silence.  It is here that we begin to understand that the Infinite is always in a present state of existence.  It is never in the past or future, it always is in the present state of today, all that one wishes to be is today.

When we begin realize that our transformations from week to week, month to month and year to year happen in the today, we will bring forth our greater self.  We will begin to form our thoughts, words and deeds, An Tri Gniomh accordingly and our life will begin to change as we take a new and completely different approach to living.  Today, we can start a new transformation. 

In the moment of time we are in the today.  It is within this and every moment of time that we BECOME.  Every change of being is the becoming of our today.  Every thought, every word and every action, An Tri Gniomh happens in a present state, today.  The knowledge of this is the toll to absolutely change our world.

Every moment in time is a life unto itself.  It is within these lives that we form through perception our life, for as we perceive our self and our world so be it.  An Tri Gniomh is always in a present state, it cannot exist outside of the present moment in time.  Our being and the present state of circumstance we contributed in forming through our today.

Happiness, joy, freedom and peace, like sadness, sorrow, pain and anger found their life within someone’s today.  We knowingly or unknowingly participated in creating the person and circumstances that we live with.  Yes, there were other things that helped in our formation, however we were the designer.

Rather than lash out against the words written here, think.  If there is the slightest possibility that I speak words of truth, then we must of course have a tremendous power.  Outside of the Creative Force who or what carries this kind of energy?  We are all that we can imagine ourselves to be.  Let us become what our Soul moves us towards.

Our Perception

Our perception of reality is based upon preprogrammed ideologies.  We perceive what we have been bred, programmed and taught to see as truth.  Each of us faces a construct that is not of our True Self, but of another nature.

The preprogramming effects our thought processes; ideas and responses are not our own.  We act out on a grand stage a play written by another.   Humanity for the most part has marched blindly to the beat of a foreign drum. We see what we have been preprogrammed recognize.

If our perception was True we would perceive a world, universe, galaxy, cosmos that differs significantly from that of our delusional minds.  Our world would become open to us, we would begin to observe and truly understand its heartbeat.  Everything would reveal its true nature and we would be free.

Life, to this point, has led you to commune with the sterile, synthetic, artificial processes of a foreign nature opposed to all that is pure, natural and True.  The power lies dormant within our being, subdued by the delusion that we are weak, powerless forms of flesh, denying the resolute processes of Truth.

If...we had a glimpse of the ABSOLUTE, we would throw off the diseased mind and return to ‘The Way’.  If...we saw the Light we would recognize Truth and through recognition destroy the artificial mindset.  If...we Truly Perceived the false paradigm would fall away, leaving a pure crystalline being of certainty.

Our life, our world, our cosmos operates within the pure laws of The One, The Ultimate, The Source.  It is within each of us to open our hearts, minds and bodies to the rays and rhythms of the universe, to throw off the diseases of the mind and open ourselves to that which is infinite.

Today we hear and see a world that is awakening to the Truth.  No more are we willing to accept slavery.  Delusion is being subdued by the rays of Reality.  Truth is expanding into the minds of the ordinary.  Humanity is breaking free and seeing the Light of the One Great Source.

Each...of us has a choice.  Each...of us will be faced with decisions that will change the course of our lives.  Each...of us has a Soul subtly nudging us towards the Light of True perception.  Each...of us faces moment by moment decisions and choices where laid before us are roads leading in opposite directions.

Now...is our time.  Now...is the opportunity to receive.  Now...is the time to open up to Truth and deny the artificial self.  Now...are you and I willing, desiring to perceive things as they are.  Now...we will walk as the ancients once walked, free of delusional thoughts and perceiving for the first time life and The Way of The Tuatha De Danann.

The Elements Within

In Khotani teaching all of the elements are within each living thing.  Air, fire, water and earth are held within a space, the Great Circle.  The Great Circle is ether, the parent to all other elements.  It is within the Great Circle that we have life. 

In the center of the Great Circle is the origin of its (ether) being.  From Grandmother Spirit flow three great forces known as primal natures.  From these three the Five Great Elements are born; first ether, then air, next fire, followed by water and earth. 

 

The elements, like all things, are made up of three circles; the inner circle, the middle circle and the outer circle.  The inner circle is causal, the middle subtle and the outer is physical.  From the most subtle to the physical the elements make up all living things.

From our ancient Khotani ways we are taught that the elements have characteristics that make up their nature.  Their character is a manifestation of their inner essence.  It is this essence which shows us the signs or path of each element.

You, I and every living thing is a reflection of the nature of elements.  The quality of elements is their personality.  Ajila is fire and has a nature or personality unique to itself just as all other elements have.  Their quality or personality teaches us about them.  It shows us that their nature manifests in different forms.

By reading the signs we learn when something is out of balance with itself.  For instance, Ajila or Fire in the mind is responsible for inspiration and discernment, also known as the discerning of fire.  However, when fire becomes out of balance it jumps its boundary and becomes a problem.  Imbalances such as infections are a sign of high fire that is out of Right Relationship.

Every level of our being mental, vital and physical is in a relationship with the inner, middle and outer elements.  There are mental fires, vital fires and physical fires.  Each element seeks to be in Right Relationship on all levels.  The elements like all things living communicate with us, telling us about who and what they are.  It is our responsibility to stop, listen, learn and live.

Everything is Essence

 

We are all an essence.  The physical part of our being is nothing more than a shadow of our True Self or the True Human Being.  However, we tend to place our emphasis on what appears to be the most tangible.  All that we hear, feel, see, taste and smell demands our attention to the detriment of everything else.

What is it that moves our being?  What is it that remains after the physical dissolves?  These are questions that most people answer with an opinion influenced by their religious belief.  Bottom line, most everyone believes that some part of us lives on into eternity.

In Khotani teaching we recognize that all things are manifestations of their greater Self.  For instance, we are an image of our Creator Unetlvnvhi.  What do we mean by this?  Our beginning starts with a spark.  The origin of our spark is the Creators Fire.  From this spark comes our fire.

Everything in life begins with a spark from the Creators Fire, also known as Acherra Wanaka (The White Fire).  Minerals, plants, animals and humans all have an inner fire to their being.  This inner fire is our essence.  Upon physical death our fire returns to its source, Creators Fire.

We see and understand that through our related fires everything is linked.  Therefore, in Khotani teaching we are literally brothers, sisters, etc. with all living things via a common Creator.  My Creator is also you’re Creator and the Creator of everything.  The Creator of all is our common parent.

When a rock dissolves, a tree ceases to exist or an animal or human dies their essence returns to its Source.  At the Source (The Grand Center) our fires once again become a part of the Creator’s Fire.  However, all throughout our physical existence our fire remains constant.  It always is.

The fire is our essence, which is our Soul.  Our Soul is on a journey walking through a physical life.  The Earth that we walk on, just like the water that is Her blood has an essence that is their life force.  Mineral, plant, animal, human and Earth all have an essence.  It is who and what we are and it is eternal.

The Path of Life and An Tri Gniomh

I was working with someone the other day regarding things of a deeply spiritual nature.  This individual has had several experiences with regard to spiritual phenomena.  His experiences are real to him and yet mainstream science explains them away.  Is it because they have never had an experience?

Why do some people have encounters and others don’t?  Why are some people visited by benevolent entities while others are tormented by dark forces?  These were some of the questions he asked.  After years of praying and pondering over these things he was still seeking answers.

 

The answer was given long ago in this short dialog between student and master.  Student, “if every person has two dogs fighting in them which one is the strongest?”  Master, “The one that you feed.”  

The path of life is made up of many things.  The basics of the formula are 1) our Souls evolution, 2) past life experiences/choices and 3) present life experiences/choices.  These three are the result of our present conditions in life.  However, your present situation can be changed.

Actions are one of or combination's of our thoughts, words and deeds (walking in it).  They are referred to as An Tri Gniomh, The Three Deeds.  There is thought action, mental action and deed action. All past actions are planted seeds that produced offspring, your current conditions.  All present actions are seeds that will produce offspring, your future conditions.

Imagine a circle with the four directions placed around it. North on top, South on bottom etc.  One complete circle represents one life.  Some circles are very large and take a considerable amount of time to travel their course; North to East, to South, to West and back to North.  Other circles are very small and take a fraction of a second to travel. 

Every moment has a complete life and all actions, An Tri Gniomh are within moments.  Some of our actions manifest and live their entire life within seconds.  Others can take weeks, months or even years.  Yet, each action contributes to a larger circle of life that is built block upon block.  However, all things can be manipulated and ultimately changed.

What has An Tri Gniomh got to do with someone having visitations, everything.  Remember, An Tri Gniomh consists of thoughts, words and deeds.  These actions show that we are in a state of something.  For instance, someone who thinks, speaks and walks in peace draws to themselves peace energy. 

Entities live off of energy.  Their food comes from our thoughts, words and deeds.  They are drawn to that which they can live off of.  Every thought, every word and every deed is food for something in life.  We knowingly or unknowingly draw to us life forces that contribute to our current condition.

Following a universal law these forces or entities travel to their food source.  They diligently seek energy to sustain and strengthen their existence.  We literally become beacons, advertising our menus.  We are a 24 hour full service establishment.

However, An Tri Gniomh applies to the physical world as well.  We draw unto ourselves people of like kind.  Remember the three aspects of the formula in paragraph four.  This is important for someone will declare that they have nothing in common with the one they mistakenly married. 

Every aspect of our lives we have helped to build (remember the formula).  Throughout numerous lifetimes we have built our lives through the natural law of An Tri Gniomh.  This did not happen over night.  Yet, we have the formula to affect change.

Right now or at any moment you can decide to change the way you think, speak and act.  Right now you can apply An Tri Gniomh and start planting seeds that will be your future harvest.  It is really that simple.  Changing our thoughts affects our spoken words and together they birth our deeds.

The Breath of Gohantone

Everything derives from the One.  Our elders spoke often of the oneness of all things.  They told how everything is connected and only in mans eyes is there difference.  Nothing exists outside of Gohantone.

We are taught that everything has a breath and therefore breathes.  Not just animals and humans, but rocks, trees and grass all have breath within their being.  All of us, brothers and sisters inhale and exhale.

The breath is the animating force that brings life into being.  Breath works in conjunction with Yashkah Yati, the sacred fire.  In reality breath is a type of fire.  All breath comes from Gohantone, the Breath Master.

All that we see in the physical world are mere expressions of Creator.  When we look past the physical manifestations we experience breath.  The body dies, breath remains.  With fire, breath is the moving force in all creation.  It is inseparable from Gohantone.

It is said that for fire to exist breath first had to move.  Air was the first child of the Great Center or Space, the seat of Gohantone.  The Breath Master, Gohantone began to blow and through the movement of air fire came to be.      

Our own words find life in the sacred breath.  They are the children of the sacred breath of Gohantone.  However, most of us do not know this truth.  We are responsible for every word that we utter.  The elders would say that ‘we speak words of life or words of death’.

Each day we inhale and exhale.  Each of these momentary breaths is a life of its own.  Our breaths are connected to our thoughts and in turn our spoken words.  Every thought and spoken word is a sacred act.  Gohantone has made it so.

The sacred breath is a gift that has the power to create anything.  The way we perceive life is the world that we create for ourselves.  Every thought, word and action has formed the world we live in.  We are co-creators with the Creator.

Becoming conscious of these ancient teachings gives us the knowledge to change anything we desire to change.  At any moment we can choose to create a better life for ourselves through the sacred breath of Gohantone.  Think of it, every thought and word ultimately has its source in the breath of Gohantone, Creator of all.  It is there for us.  We are gifted with all of the abilities to live a life of our choosing and therefore capable of walking the Sacred Road.

Finding The Light - Part Two

Listen, for the voice of the Creator is speaking.  We must learn to discern the difference between the mental voice and the inner voice.  We mentioned in part one ‘intuition’, ‘gut’ and ‘a feeling’ as all being the same and that everyone has experienced the sensation of ‘knowing’.  Most of us simply followed this ‘knowing’ and experienced its truth.

How do we really know?  The answer is simple, by listening.  Ask yourself this question, when was the last time that you were leaving the house and felt the sensation that you were forgetting something?  Next, ask yourself if you waited and remembered what it was or you went out the door, realizing later that you had in fact forgot something.

The point we are making is that it doesn’t matter whether you remembered in time or not.  What matters is that you realize its truth.  The ‘knowing’ is your inner voice emanating from Yashkah Yati (the White Fire) or the Creators Fire.

Each of us has this.  Furthermore every one of us has experienced it numerous times in our lives.  Where we get into trouble is in mentally analyzing.  At first our mind wants to point out all of the reasons why this cannot be so.  However, you find that your ‘gut feeling’ is NEVER wrong.

We discussed in part one that the ‘intuition’, ‘gut or gut feeling’ and ‘a feeling’ are not emotions or feelings.  By ‘a feeling’ we are not referring to feelings, but rather a sensation deep within our person.  These expressions are mere attempts on our part to try and define something that is not of a mental, emotional or feeling nature.  It is ‘a knowing’.

The next time you have ‘a feeling’, ‘a gut feeling’ etc. pay attention.  Here is an example.  You are heading out the door and you get this ‘feeling’ that you are forgetting something.  Stop and listen.  Quiet your mind and wait to see if you remember, if not head out the door.  Somewhere down the road or in days to come it will be brought to remembrance what you forgot.

What is important here is that you start to become familiar with the sensations of ‘the knowing’.  Let us say that you had ‘a feeling’ you were forgetting something but were in such a hurry you forgot to stop and listen.  Days pass before you even remember that you had the experience.  That’s ok.  As soon as it is brought to your remembrance stop and go back.  The sensation is still there.

By doing this you will begin to connect those parts of your being that are on the surface level with those that are inner aspects of you.  Slowly but surely you will become more and more aware of the voice within and your true Self.

Our goal in life is to ‘Walk in Right Relationship’ with our self and in turn all things.  However, for this to happen we must first know who we are and for this to happen we must know that OUR TRUE SELF is not the physical person but the inner being.

Finding The Light - Part One

There is a spark within each of us, a light that is ever constant.  It is the reason for our being; it is who we really are.  It dwells within the inner recesses of our spirit or causal body.  Deep within the Center are its endless flames.  The most sacred of all fires its smoke purifies completely.

At the Center is the core of our being.  This is where all things share a common flame.  In the world around us we see numerous and diverse minerals, plants, animals and humans, yet each are a spark from the original fire.  All things manifest within the three fold world through the Fire.

Most human beings are programmed to look to the external for God, heaven, peace or salvation.  We are taught the throne of God dwells outside of us and the sum of who we are is less than perfect.  Man in his darkness stumbles trying to find the Light, repeating the same mistakes over and over again.

The original spark of Yashkah Yati (White Fire) is the source for all fires.  Each spark represents our individual Soul.  Every mineral, plant, animal and human have Souls.  Our Soul is the Fire that dwells within each of us.  Our Fire is inseparable from Yashkah Yati.

When we seek the Light we are in reality seeking our own higher Self.  The voice of Creator is within Yashkah Yati.  Truth is within each of us.  However, we are usually influenced more from the mind than we are from the Source.  Our society has taught us to seek mental and emotional satisfaction.

Everyone has experienced hearing from what is referred to as ‘the gut’, ‘intuition’, ‘a feeling’ etc.  These are all the same thing.  They come from a direct line out of Yashkah Yati.  The ‘gut feeling’ that people experience is never wrong.  It is not emotion and is not based on feelings.

Finding the Light is learning to hear our inner Self.  This inner being is a spark of Yashkah Yati.  Our inner Self resonates with all things sacred.  Creator, God, the mountains, waterfalls, sacred images etc.  All of these cause a response within our Center, Yashkah Yati.

Start by listening and paying attention to your ‘intuition’ or ‘gut’.  Observe the bodily sensations.  If you remember after the fact revisit the experience.  Engage the mind with your remembrance and catalog the sensations.

This is only a start.  However, simply paying attention to ‘the gut’ will eventually lead you into greater truth.  You must start somewhere and with something that everyone can relate to.  We have all had these experiences, for they are the small still voice that is The Light.

Uisce Co Aicned

The stream that flowed upon the land saw no night,
It was I that remained within the veil of a darkened world.
I, the mountain of knowledge forever is,
Yet, I walk through a valley enveloped in mist.

Sister stream following the enlightened course of sairse,
Knowing not the limitations of the less fortunate waters.
Images permeating that, which is silently still,
Echoes a voice whose permanence remains concealed.

Uisce, a constant movement never faltering in its course,
Living, moving and ever within that which is Ap.
Luan reflecting its greater light draws you forth,
Intinn but a wave of its greater source.

Conditioned as it is, separating from aicned,
Intentioned upon that which withers and fades.
Aicned, three present in the living, knoweth their natures,
The very essence of Grandmother, upholding the living stature.

Old man asks of that, which is living,
Please reveal the nature hidden within.
Flowing past, all that remains is silence,
Revealing the profound natures of science.

Whispers from the nine levels grow loud,
Walking the steps upward I discover seven septs.
The seven clans revealing the inner and outer spheres,
At the base of the great Tree flow the five tears.

Uisce moving, always in a state of balance,
Aicned, Inntinn and Menma, three rings of three.
Five tears forming streams of fifteen elders………tell
Mind within the universal waters fell.
