Red Foxes Talking Circle

[stranger]

So far I have thought of this circle as a place to discuss uniting the broken sacred hoop--the united community of people.

Once again, our purpose is to bring people from all walks of life, despite their race, color, gender, age, or religion beliefs (or the lack of) together for encouragement and support. We are open to help bring forgiveness, reconciliation and healing from the wounds of the past. All people are welcome, but bullying will not be tolerated.

I would suggest that the meaning of the broken band is two-fold , both aimed at and essential to one thing alone , the glory of God ...

The first is the most beautiful to most people , it is the uniting of all creation spoken of in the holy scripture but denied by most people on earth at this time ...

The second is the deeper and darker to many , it is the beginning of the breaking of the power of the Satan over all mankind [except but very few] which power most men deny, but which causes whole nations to live ways unacceptable to God, even those who call themselves 'christians', even the Jews , even the House of Israel who wield much power in this earth...

There are two witnesses in heaven , one to the perfect love which is the Way all creation will return to God , the other who controls almost the whole earth already must witness in shame the failure of all other ways thatn love, all ways of sinners ...

In the earth are two witnesses, the House of Israel [paganised, lost, scattered , not a people] and the Hosue of Judah [keeping Judaism , united , scattered , a people ]...

The union of the two witnesses in the earth is the beginning only of the GREAT RECONCILIATION of all creation , one small step , but an irrevocable one by translation to the spirit

The reconciliation of the two witnesses in the heavens is the end of time...

This circle could be the beginning of this great healing of the rifts between men, and the greater union of the witness of light with the witness of darkness...

there was darkness , then there was light , ONE DAY as One , the BEGINNING and the END ... the same , but not alike , two cherubs touching wings at the throne of God ...

Psalms 139:12 Even darkness, will not conceal from thee,—but, night, like day, will shine, So is the darkness, as the light!

Not without pains of birth for all ...

Isaiah 5:20 Alas! for them Who call evil good and good evil,—Who put darkness for light and light for darkness, Who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

So all will come to realise that all creation IS for God, not for this earth, not for the new earth either, but for the third heaven, the pardise of God, final rest in the spirit as One...

Good Morning or Evening Friends!

For this world is One wherever you are at this time,
Whether awake or sleep we are all as one on this earth.

To the Body of Christ the brethren and those who seek an escape from the trials that are common to man, now and If you go to fellowship this morning may God's Gentle Breeze, the Breathe of His Peace overcome you and those around you today or tonight as you come together to Worship or seek the Peace He Gives. And may the Son of Glory Shine in your Heart who is the Hope of Our Salvation, Jesus Christ the Lord!

And to those that know not who the Son of God is, His Light also Shines on You! For I know with God, He is ~no~ respecter of persons... For those who are called to His Son; His Grace is without repentance through His Jesus Christ the Lord. I hope you also have a great day or sleep well!

To the Father and the Son of Glory the Lord Jesus Christ be Majesty now and forever , Amen!

I am just checking in, I have been away from home. I am so grateful my Talking Circle survived the bullying, and my other circles were not targets. I am grateful to see it thrive and grow. I hope everyone has a blessed and peaceful day today. I will be back home tomorrow.

I had a disturbing dream last night that was one of those dreams that shook my spirit.

I dreamt that I was still married to my ex-husband. We were living here in Oregon and had a home, a church, our kids had a school and friends, I had friends--in other words we had a LIFE built. And one day for no apparent reason he decided we were going to move to New Jersey!! CLEAR ACROSS THE COUNTRY!! We had no home there, no job, no friends or family, knew no one...and he did not consult me or discuss it with me. He just announced that we were moving next week. He was renting a UHaul, and he expected me to have the whole house packed--plus, I was going to have to help him pack the truck! AT MY AGE!!

Needless to say, in my dream I was FLABBERGASTED!! I felt like I didn't even exist and none of my desires or needs were even heard, much less considered. But it was that feeling of being *discounted* that really shook me. As I said, I felt like I didn't exist, and that disturbed me.

Could your ex-husband in any way represent G-d in your dream?

That is an interesting question! Why do you ask? I have to admit, I never looked at it from that angle but I will consider it.

The overall feeling or message that I got from that dream was the feeling of "non-existence"--not so much message that I had received the call to leave all that I knew and go somewhere. In real life, I *HAVE* in fact, left all I knew to go where I knew I was supposed to be--once moving from Wisconsin to Colorado and a second time moving from Colorado to the Pacific Northwest. So it wasn't so much the "leaving all" aspect that disturbed my spirit.

I have no issues going where God leads me...nor do I expect Him to "consult" with me, and all it in His time for His glory. But in a marriage relationship, I do expect at least a little input whilst understanding the concept of federal headship. I would expect to have some input and that my thoughts and feelings would have some worth and value--not just be ignored as if I didn't exist! So the disturbing part was the lack of importance and being treated as if I didn't exist.

One final word on this dream: in my real, waking life my ex-husband did do this exact thing to me more than once. I was pregnant, and he decided to move us all across the country and bought a business--all without consulting me. Then he expected me to pack and move furniture--PREGNANT! When I refused for the welfare of the baby, he was furious.

I guess I assumed this dream was just an echo from the past--like a wave of remembrance. However, due to you question, I will consider it!

"It is better to give than receive." But it doesn't really matter if we are giving or receiving. There is an identical feeling associated with both. We get this feeling every time we receive, and we get this feeling every time we give. We can't control when we receive gifts but we can control when we give gifts. Therefore, the more we give, the better we feel.
​

When we are given gifts, or someone does something for us, it is the Indian way to honor this person.

​

Great Spirit, let me honor and be respectful to those who are good to me today.

The reason that I suggest this is the dissolution of the self in becoming One with G-d which seems to fit with your dream, together with your strong belief in obeying the husband [even against your will , as distinct from your previous decision]... which signifies that if G-d had told you thet you would have done [and persumably felt some conflict at not obeying your husband at the time]

Good Morning everyone!

There has been some great conversations happening here! Praying for all of you!

 

[GigageiTsula]

Thank you for adding the Elder's Meditation, my friend. I have added this to my personal blog before. If you have any suggestions for NDN issues or topics for my blog, please let me know.

[GigageiTsula]

I am in need of suggestions for a blessings exchange thread I would like to open. I want to share my abundance of blessings with others. As I once heard, you can start to change the world with just one random act of kindness at a time. Any ideas?

Red Fox

 

[cristianna]

Hmmm... unfortunately I'm lacking on creative ideas. I've gone in and posted random things like questions or lyrics to specific songs to give away blessings, but I cannot come up with much more than that.

Go there and search for a thread titled: Big Blessing Bomb. I'm there daily and enjoy that. Or maybe it will give you an idea if nothing else.

 

[wolfman544]

Just reminding everyone why I'm here. A person in one of these clubs insinuated that I hold wrong motives and I'd like to make it clear that I am in love with the Lord Jesus Christ and I trust in Him only.

My way has not always been easy; in fact, I have had a very hard life. But the suffering I have done with the Lord Jesus by my side was the best suffering of all, because I was brought closer to Him.

One should not assume that I've had an easy life simply because I have a cheery name or that I try to be positive. I think that is what hurt me the most, is this person insinuating that I have had an easy life and know nothing about suffering...or that I know nothing about the Bible. I do not pretend to know all of the Bible, but I study it and meditate upon it, I attend worship regularly, I pray daily, and I seek to know God better and better.

Anyway....a blessed weekend to all and God bless everyone at the forums.

And remember, God loves you... People who are filled with hostility do not truly know Him, they just know OF Him. And those who are at the forums seeking God's love...we need to represent God's love to them. If we fight and argue among ourselves, it only shows those who needs God's love...that we don't have God's love.

By this, they will know we are Christians. They will know us by our love.

I agree, how will they know us unless it is by His love?

I am just checking in, I have been away from home. I am so grateful my Talking Circle survived the bullying, and my other circles were not targets. I am grateful to see it thrive and grow. I hope everyone has a blessed and peaceful day today. I will be back home tomorrow.

Good morning my friends. I have not decided on a thread name yet. I am not creative either.

 

[cristianna]

Ah, don't worry Red Fox. God gives up answers in the most unlikely of places. I know He'll give you an answer.

 

[GigageiTsula]

Thank you my friend.

 

[cherokeehippie]

Hi everyone! I'm back! I got back home late last night!! So glad to be back in the Ozarks!! I grit my teeth everytime I have to go home to Dallas Fort Worth area to see family. LoL. Dysfunctional family members and the traffic!! It's too crowded there!!

Guess what??? I got an invitation from a big powwow to set up booth and demonstrate basket weaving!!! (at this powwow it's by invitation only to set up a booth!) I'm sooooo blown away, yet nervous, too!!! It won't be til March the powwow, so that gives me time to make a lot of baskets!! I just hope I won't mess up!! I've never done this before. Believe it or not. I've set up at small gatherings--but nothing like this!! I keep thinking...."I don't think I'm good enough.." etc. Abba Creator is sooooo GOOD!!! I had to deal with dysfunctional family over the holiday, which can be sooo depressing, and then I come home and find this invitation in my e-mail!!!!
Now another thing....just almost a month ago, I had a dream. I dreamed of my grandmother(who has been dead for 10 yrs now.). I dreamed that I was talking with her on the phone...and out of the blue, she told me that the Echota Cherokee of Alabama have just opened up their rolls for new members and that I should apply and that they were a good tribe. I woke up and immediately got on the computer and looked up Echota Cherokee. I've only been to their website 2 times probably. The page came up and there it was!!! They had just opened up the rolls for new members and that more information will come about it. Now it's this:
http://www.echotacherokeetribe.homestead.com/

My ancestors were in Alabama before they round up being in Texas, so, I guess this would be a good choice!! I was in Alabama a few years ago at my first Native christian conference(and yes, Jonathan Maracle-Broken Walls was there, as well as Richard Twiss, Spyder and Tekawitha Webb, etc, etc!!!) I was on cloud 9 and I also got to be honored and gifted up on teh stage!! (and both chiefs of the Northeast Alabama Cherokee, and Echota Cherokee were up on stage) It was so special. I get soooo nervous going to gatherings, etc sometimes and was nervous, too, but it ended up where I was 'drunk' with joy and because I didn't want to wake my bunk mates up, I went outside in the rain and laughed and then sat down on a wet seat and got my rear wet!!

This is sooooo weird!!! and yet awesome!!! I had prayed that the Lord would show me which direction I should take in getting enrolled, etc!!!! Send your prayers up to the Creator for me!!! That I won't be soooo nervous(about the enrollment process--etc). I don't want to grind my teeth in my sleep again!!! (a few weeks ago, I had to go to the dentist because my tooth hurt...and found out it was from grinding my teeth--due to stress dealing with car and computer problems that was going on at same time!! LOL

 

[GigageiTsula]

Good to see you back, my friend. Where is this powwow?

 

[cristianna]

Wow cherokeehippie! That is fantastic! PTL! I'll be praying, but if God is opening the door, I'm certain He's empowered you with all you need. You just need to believe in yourself now.

Hello everyone!

 

[GigageiTsula]

I stand in prayer with you, my friend. And hello to you, too.
