Messages from Our Community Wisdom Keepers

During our October Community Night we presented the task to all participants to step into the role of a keeper of wisdom and to share a short message of wisdom with our community and the younger generations. Following are the messages s hared by our community.

In the past our elders would go to sacred places. To caves, to sacred lodges, to places of darkness. To sit in stillness, to wait and to witness. Because within that darkness and within that stillness the deep wisdom was past on to them. I want to remind the generations that come ahead of us to not fear the darkness. To let it be a companion. To sit in the stillness and know that your wisdom lies there as well.
When you own your life and your light that’s when you can charge ahead and empower the world.
There are many layers to wisdom, it is a lineage being passed down through many generations and many people. We all have an impact, we are all ripples in the pond.
Reconnect to the oceans. Make sure to have “me time” so you can get to where you need to go.
Fortune is not the amount of money that you have but what you feel inside. Your wisdom, your love, your acceptance of other people. Share that with others.
Be like the deer, use the compassion that is inside yourself to seek the compassion that is in others around you.
Be connected to the earth. Stand in your place of power. Be like an empty cup. You have to be empty in order to receive. When you stand in your power you will transcend and be in your place of passion.
Creating a context for connection with impeccability is what I want to be and to pass on.
When we ask for wisdom the trees, the leaves, the squirrels, the sunrise, and the sunset will all speak to us, passing their wisdom on to us.
We are all brilliant and we all radiate. We stand in the four directions and we are to honor ourselves as warriors, visionaries, healers, and teachers.
Make pilgrimages to be in the presence of sacred places. Let yourself be a part of the sacred ceremonies accessible in this world. Awaken to divine power and to healing.
Try to find a balance between all things. To not only think of physical wealth, even though it has its place. Try to take in everything in life and find balance and acceptance of all of it. This will help in finding some happiness.
The universe and the planets are rotating and revolving around each other in unison. Focus on celebrating yourself. Practice your art. Do things that esteem you, that make you feel good. Keep your spiritual path strong and have compassion for the world and for yourself. You don’t have to be perfect, just be who you are. Keep moving on and stay with the journey. God helps the ones that help themselves.
Connection is so important between all of us. We are all connected. We are all brothers and we are all sisters. It is so important to listen, to honor each other when people are talking. Really listen to what they have to say instead of thinking about what you are going to say next about yourself. Honor each other, hug each other, listen to each other with love. It is important to hug someone, to touch someone, or to simply say “I love you”.
