All things are alive, and all posses WORTH.

The Grandfathers’ Teachings of non-interference - focuses on the Harmony and Balance that comes from your connection with all parts of the Universe in which everything has the PURPOSE and VALUE exemplary of HUMANS, including Animals, Plants, Birds, Rocks, Earth, Water and Wind.

As with Humankind, all of these Beings possess worth and Natural Purpose in the greater scheme of things. Within this view lies the most powerful sense of belonging and connectedness, as well as a deep respect for “all your relations”.

The concept of “all your relations”, in my Traditions and Teachings of the Grandfathers is that all Beings are related. So this makes everything your relations, beyond the concept of your Human Family.

Essentially it requires only that you seek your place in the Universe; everything else will follow in good time. Since everyone and everything was created with a specific purpose to fulfill, no one should have the power to interfere or to impose upon you or anyone which is the best Path to follow. This is the VALUE OF CHOICE.

Choice was very important in my Tradition and the Teachings of the Grandfathers. This is a Lesson for another day.

In the Ways of the Grandfathers, the significance of relationship lies in a Balance struck between an all-encompassing sense of belonging and connectedness with your ‘relations’ and the practice of non-interference.

The highest form of respect for another person or Natures Inhabitance, is respecting their NATURAL RIGHT to be self-determining. This means not interfering with another person’s ability to CHOOSE.

Every experience holds a valuable Lesson - even in death, there is valuable learning that the Spirit carries forth.

The Teachings of the Grandfather tell us that “everything, every encounter, is a Lesson”. Be it, in your concept, good or bad, there will always be THE LESSON, THE TEACHING.

Interfering is not only disrespectful, but it violates the Natural Order of Harmony and Balance in which each Being has to LEARN AND EXPERIENCE LIFE in his own way. Each person, each living Being, has his own Medicine that should not be disrupted or changed without that person CHOOSING IT. THIS IS PART OF THE LEARNING.

What moves the Circle of Life is CHOICE, and what keeps the Circle, is kindness and respect for the Natural flow of Life-energy.

Non-interference means caring in a respectful Way.
