Knowing - Feeling - Sensing

To know, to feel, to sense. All Human abilities.

KNOWING: Knowledge starts from birth, you learn to speak and to walk, to read, to write and further your education in formal schooling. These are only important and necessary to prepare you for the task of living, your Physiacl Life.

FEELING: Again, this starts from birth. It is sad, in this society, the first feelings are that of pain. A slap on the buttocks to make you cry to start your breathing. A gentle hand, rubbing the cheat will accomplish the same effect, causing a gentler easing into this Physical World and Life.
Much is taken for granted when it comes to your Feelings. You learn to know and accept the feeling of Joy and Saddness, Love, Hate and Anger, your Mental Self. Yet not much attention is placed on the subtle feelings encountered daily in Nature, A PART OF WHICH YOU ARE! A soft and gentle Breeze crossing your face, most often goes unnoticed.

SENSING: This begins before birth. By the time you are able to express what you Sense, in todays' Society, the adults discourage it as silly nonsence, thus depressing it in the Child. Senseing is of the Spiritual Self.

Todays' Society has problems accepting the Concept that the Physical, the Mental and the Spiritual are one, making us Humans whole. The ability to Sense things is not a special Gift from the Creator for a few select Humans, all are born with it. Most Children are not allowed to explore this ability because of the narrow minds of todays' Society, who focus on the so called, what is real, or reality. When reality is trully an individuals concept, thus neither right nor wrong, only a concept to be questioned.

As a Boy, the words of my Grandmother, "You were chosen, not by yourself or by any Human Being, but by a greater Power greater than you or me. Don't listen to those who would criticize you or me for Honoring our Abilities." My Grandmother taught me through many Stories of the Old Ways. She taught through example to be a helper to everyone you meet. That everyone is special in this Life, that Love has no Boundaries, and that Boundaries cannot be set on Love.

My first Lessons were to Respect ALL LIFE, Protect Mother Earth and All of Nature. How can you have or give Love if there is no Respect?

Looking back on the Teachings of my Traditional Ways,
My Concept: Honor, Trust, Respect and Love. To love and to be Loved, you must Honor, Trust and Respect in the HUMAN SENSE. If you cannot Sense Honor in the Person, if you cannot Sense Trust in the Person, if you cannot Sense Respect in the Person, THERE CANNOT BE TRUTH IN LOVE.

For Balance and Peace within: The Knowledge of something or Feeling something, these are not as important for your WELL BEING as Sensing something.
