Before the arrival of many explorers in the Americas there was in place a vast knowledge of teachings based on Ancient Wisdom. The soul of any nation is based on their language. These teachings were preserved within the language context of those individual nations.  When they spoke their teachings the Elders included knowledge of the physical, spiritual and natural laws.  Supernatural abilities came through their vision quests.

Their understanding of the natural environment also became the messenger of things yet to occur.  Eventually we may all have to by necessity come to that understanding what this ancient wisdom has to teach us.  Perhaps then we will have a clearer mind to make reasonable judgments in our understanding of each other.  We have to be practical in our life ways to bring back balance in the way we see our world and ourselves.

What is this ancient wisdom I speak of? Could it be getting back to the basics of living?   A different mind set?  A paradigm shift?

The oligarchy that is in place within the system of things is not working. The pyramid structure that exists today has to change. The people that have supported the base have been totally left out.   The base that supports the structure has to be recognized or the rest of the pyramid will soon collapse.  I believe this is where we are.

It’s time to apply that Ancient Wisdom that is deep within our psyches for all Sovran Nations survival.
