Horoscope AstroClick Portrait - Astrodienst

Horoscope AstroClick Portrait - Astrodienst: "You are very sensitive to others people's needs and desires, and in many cases you go out of your way to help those whom you love. This reinforces your sense of self- esteem. Also you are able to empathize with others, that is, you can put yourself in their place, which makes you want to ease people's pain whenever you can. These are signs of a highly intuitive and sometimes even psychic mind. You often perceive truths about the world around you that others are blind to.
Certainly you love anything mysterious or fantastic, for such ideas help you get in touch with that dimension of the world that others cannot see. If you learn to understand yourself, you can become a very creative individual."

The Meaning of the Blue Butterfly

The butterfly, or APANII, has a good deal of meaning in our culture and is used sumbolically in many ways as an expression of our beliefs and view of life.

The BLUE BUTTERFLY, Ootskwiinatsinum, is the being that brings us good dreams and visions of a beautiful future. This is why just about every Blackfoot tipi has a butterfly up high on the back of each one. It appears to be a cross but is not. Rather it is a stylized way of depicting APANI, the Butterfly, which carries you to the dream world, or Apahtopi.

The gift of the symbol of BUTTERFLY is a way of wishing the person in your life a beautiful life of happiness and good health.

Today the image of the Blue Butterfly on a rising sun has come to be a symbol of persons who invite all others to join in supporting and voting as a group in elections for political offices that give rise to indigenous peoples quest for justice, which indirectly includes all peoples since we are all the children of the Source of Life.

The Rising Sun is the symbol of the power and renewal of all life each day. The Blue Butterfly represents that which brings us harmony and peace and our visions for a better future in honor and respect of all people. Life is always changing as does the Butterfly during its lifetime, so we seek to emulate its quiet and beautiful nature.

The seven dots on the upper wing represent the Big Dipper and the five dots on the lower wing represent the constellation Pleiades which you see on the smoke flaps of every Blackfoot Tipi. These represent stories from the Blackfoot culture but in this instance they also represent the fact we are people from the stars and for this reason we are sacred. We are all a people of the universe.

The color Blue is significant because it is the color of water, which brings us all together as male and female. Water is the element into and out of which we are born; water is the commonality that makes us all relatives and which make us related to all things.

By Long Standing Bear Chief, Blackfoot

Marijuana and Hemp Story: Hemp Facts (Page 2 of 10)

Marijuana and Hemp Story: Hemp Facts (Page 2 of 10): "No other natural resource offers the potential of hemp. Cannabis Hemp is capable of producing significant quantities of paer, textiles, building materials, food, medicine, paint, detergent, varnish, oil, ink, and fuel. Unlike other crops, hemp can grow in most climates and on most farmland throughout the world with moderate water and fertilizer requirements, no pesticides, and no herbicides. Cannabis Hemp (also known as Indian Hemp) has enormous potential to become a major natural resource that can benefit both the economy and the environment.
'Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere.'
--President George Washington, 1794"

Marijuana and Hemp Story: Hemp Facts (Page 2 of 10)

Marijuana and Hemp Story: Hemp Facts (Page 2 of 10): "It takes years for trees to grow until they can be harvested for paper or wood, but hemp is ready for harvesting only 120 days after it is planted. Hemp can grow on most land suitable for farming, but forests and tree farms require large tracts of land available in few locations. Harvesting hemp rather than trees would also eliminate erosion due to logging, thereby reducing topsoil loss and water pollution caused by soil runoff."

Marijuana and Hemp Story: Hemp Facts (Page 2 of 10)

Marijuana and Hemp Story: Hemp Facts (Page 2 of 10): "Hemp can be used to produce fiberboard that is stronger than wood, lighter than wood, and fire retardant. Substituting hemp fiberboard for timber would further reduce the need to cut down our forests. Hemp can also be used to produce strong, durable and environmentally-friendly plastic substitutes. Thousands of products made from petroleum-based plastics can be produced from hemp-based composites. Mercedes Benz of Germany has recently begun manufacturing automobile bodies and dashboards made from hemp."

Asvaghosa - Asvaghosa Biography - Ashwaghosa Bodhisattva - Life History of Asvaghosa: "Asvaghosa was once teaching and singing the principles of Dharma to a crowd in the royal city, when the king deliberately fed seven hungry horses to test their reaction to Asvaghosa's teaching. The horses were distressed due to hunger, but they did not touch the food to be relieved of their distress. Instead they understood Asvaghosha's sermon and were relieved. That is how the name Ashwaghosa bodhisattva came into being. It literally means 'horses that listen to Bodhisattva'."

That quote works on my heart, pulling it up into my throat where it wants to strangle any words that try to make it past my lips. It’s a beautiful merging of earth and water ~ salt, water, tears, knowing.
I’ve settled on “knowing and helping” as the meaning of compassion. I can’t ignore your trials, I can’t dismiss your longings. I am called for something more, to serve as co-pilot on your journey, however brief. “Where two are gathered” is more powerful than one alone. Surely, there is healing there ~ for both of us."

Recognizing the Obvious | jonathanzap on Xanga

Recognizing the Obvious jonathanzap on Xanga: "Many, or even most, of the significant problems in our lives are more about recognizing the obvious rather than discovering the mysterious or hidden. One of the most classic ways that we deceive and hide from ourselves, is by refusing to recognize the obvious and shrouding what is right before us in rationalization and false complexity. We often delay and deny necessary transformation by claiming that there is a mysterious answer hidden from us, when actually we know the answers but have various reasons to pretend that we don't."
