Good afternoon, family of Medicine Wheel Ministries. It's great to have you guys back. Disclaimer, this is a mature podcast only. Please do not listen with young children around. All opinions, thoughts, and ideas are strictly my own and nobody else's. Anything that comes close is strictly coincidence. We challenge the heart, the mind, and how to be better in the human experience. So I want to welcome you again to Medicine Wheel Ministries. You know, the uh last week I had the pleasure of meeting some very fine individuals. Uh Gen Zers, I believe is what they call this generation now. And you know, these young people had it really together. And uh you listen to the broadcast, and so they'll know who I'm talking about. But you know, they're all about helping people and loving thy neighbor and no judgment, and just amazing individuals. Had a great conversation with them. Uh they gave me some help and just want to give a shout-out to them. Just amazing individuals, and it's so refreshing to see this younger generation. You know, some people that just they don't want to hand out, they just want to work hard for what they've got, and just refreshing, you know. And I want to talk about more of that, you know. It's it's this human experience, this uh this need that we have to do to you know, let's not cast shade and stones on other people, you know, love that neighbor. Yeah, your neighbor may have gone to prison or they may not cut their lawn or they may be disabled. It doesn't give us purpose to cast that shade. I mean, we could call it karma, we could call it a lot of things, but you know, in the end, it really boils down to the fact that if we do that, if we allow just that seed of negativity in our lives to cast that stone at somebody else for something that they may have done or something that's happened to them, or the condition that they were just born in, it's out of their control. If for any reason, if we if we cast these stones, if we allow that seed of negativity in our lives, it hurts not just the people that we're doing it towards, but it hurts other people. You know, granted, somebody may have done something to you, and you don't have to trust them afterwards, you don't have to even like them afterwards, but what you have to do is you have to set a boundary and say, I'm not going to allow the negative things that they've done or happened to me to make up what I am choosing to be in my life because the moment you allow that one seed of negativity to sprout, it brings so much more chaos within our individual selves, within our lives, with everything. It's a cancer, it is a complete toxic cancer that takes a hold and everything ripples apart. Now, I'm not saying I'm an angel, far from it, but what I'm saying is that I still can forgive and forget. You know, I re-established contact with a friend from um several years ago recently, and she had done some stuff to me, um, stole some stuff, and just all around uh allowing addiction to run her life and allowing that that seed of negativity to grow. And we lost contact for a couple of years. Now she's doing better and she's you know dealing with the issues that she has, but at the end of the day, I still forgive her, and I'm still willing to be there as a uh support um and a guide, you know, as a friend, and you know, she did me wrong, but yet here I am still giving forgiveness, not judging, and still allowing her to have that positive seed in her life of support and understanding, and that is what we are supposed to strive to be. You know, we can say that, you know, it's many things, but the the fact is that if we just hold on to the ideals that are positive in our lives, it would just do us so much better in every aspect. You know, they say, oh, well, it's life so hard. Well, yeah, life is hard, but that's what this is supposed to be. We are supposed to grow into the spiritual people that the creator is waiting for. If not, I truthfully believe that we're just going to keep coming back over and over and over again until we learn to get our head out of our ass and step up and be that person of big medicine, of good heart. We have to be that person who's not allowing toxins and negativity to rule our lives. We have to say, you know what? I respect the choice that you're yeah, I don't necessarily agree to the choice that you're making, but I understand. And I'm still here, friend. When you're ready, I'm here. But I have to keep you at an arm's distance. At an arm's distance. It's not that we have to choose to have it intimately in our lives, it's that we have to choose to not allow it to take over us and consume us. Their road is their road. But if we abandon them on that road, are we not condemning them to be forever on that road? This is what is so toxic within our social issues today, and it really has become such a problem with socializations of not just with each other, but the standards that are now being set. Um, you've got so many of these younger women now that are in their 20s that are going after guys that are much older than, because that older guy tends to be a little bit more mature or uh socially with it, or I mean we could say a lot of different ways about it. But when you got guys that basically have that woman and they're sitting on that couch playing video games all day, and she needs something done. Just as simple as, hey babe, take the trash out. But it becomes an issue when you disconnect from that, it's just toxic. A man needs to understand he can't allow her to be both the man and the woman. Then she's no better off than just going and getting herself a battery-operated boyfriend. And ladies, I truthfully tell you, you don't need a man. Just like a man don't need a woman. We have fingers, we have hands, we can take care of stuff better than most people with us. Do we need that human connection? Absolutely. But at what cost? What cost are we willing to sacrifice ourselves, our medicine, our hearts, our spirits, and allowing such toxic things in our lives to where we're willfully trading our very essence of our spirit to that negativity. It's just not okay. You know, it's just it. We could go up the legends and the teachings of you know different native cultures around the world, you know. Um, but we could also take it to a step and just say, you know what, look at what Jesus did. Well, if we go after true versions of him, he didn't cast shade or stone or anything else. And people were out to absolutely harm him. He just said, I forgive you, and still embraced him as his neighbor. That humility is what we all need a huge, huge bite out of. You know, we have become such this toxic world that we, oh well, they've got differences and hurting each other over those differences, or we can't hire you because of this, or nope, you're a felon, we can't do this, or nope, this is white. So what? They went to prison, they did their time. Their debt is to society, but their biggest debt is to themselves. And if we do not set aside that negativity and become that support, you know, there's an old phrase within my people, Matakiyase, we are all related. And we recognize that we are related not just to the humans, we're related to the earth, we're related to the wind, we're related to the rain, we're related to the rocks, we're related to the trees, the birds, the deer, everything. Everything has its place. If we go by the Old Testament, the creator made absolutely everything. Everything. And then rested. And then after he rested, he came back and he made us. Well, if you stop and take a real deep look at that, he made everything else exactly perfect, and then rested, and almost like an afterthought made us. And how have we treated that love to give us that chance? How have we respected our mother earth? How have we respected each other? How have we respected the resources and everything else of it? We don't. We absolutely systematically harm everything around us. You can't even drink water, eat fresh vegetables that even are organics anymore without having toxins still coming into us, you know, PFAS. And if nobody knows anything about PFAS and what we've allowed companies to do with their chemicals and their uh genetics and organic manipulation, please learn about PFAS. Um, I'm dealing with some issues on a medical level because of PFAS levels. We need to be more concerned about how we affect our relations for many generations out. We don't need all these different kinds of things, we need to slow down and take the time. You know, um cast iron cooks more freaking evenly and efficiently, but it takes more work. But oh, it's easier to go get this Teflon coated pan. Well, so now we're literally monetizing the very toxins that are poisonous. And if we enable that, then we are enabling the destruction of our very selves at the molecular level. So I want you to think about that. When you throw your trash out, when you simply just reach for something, if it's toxic to you, then it's toxic for your relations, all over the earth. That means that we are still giving that seed of negativity the power over our lives. We are in an absolute crisis over this negative seed growing so strong. The tree of life is on fire, y'all. It is completely on fire. And every time that we make a choice to give that negative seed or that profiteering company that wants to give us something in our food that's quick and easy and convenient, and when we set that there as a priority, we are literally enabling the very negativity that's destroying us. There has never been an inner time where we've had so much strife, so much anger, so much self-destructive behavior on every level than we do right now. Drugs are rampant, depression is rampant, suicides is rampant, suitings and all of this stuff is rampant. Even our media barely talks about positive things. Has anybody actually watched the nightly news? You have all these catastrophic things and negative stories that lead the first 45 minutes, and then you get one little clip after the big commercial break that's like 30 seconds long of something positive. 30 seconds? 30 seconds. I want you to think about how that makes any kind of sense. We concentrate more on that negative energy and that negative seed than we do about the positive things. We have to start today of that change that we will not allow this negativity to literally override us. We will not give this seed of toxins into a tree. We're not gonna water it. We want that negative vibe or medicine or whatever you want to call it. We don't want it to sprout. We don't want it to grow roots and grow deeper. We don't want it to sprout up and grow branches. We want that to wither and die. Because that's not part of our relations. That's the poison that destroys everything around it. That's what makes the desert of absolute nothing able to be around it. We have to admit it starts with us right here, right now. It starts with you, it starts with me, every choice I make. And don't think that I'm an angel, I'm not. I'm addicted to Copenhagen. It's a toxin. I'm willfully pouring it in my body. But I live freaking drug and alcohol free, but I'm still got that little seed that I'm fighting with, and that has been a lifelong fight. And we all have our little things that we hang on to, all these things that we grasp onto and we make excuses and we stumble on our face and we say, Oh, well, at least this is this or this is this. But the bottom line that we have to remember is that we need to do better. Men need to get up off the couch and go get a job. Don't sit back and allow yourself to get into a toxic cycle of, oh, she's my sugar mama, oh, I'm gonna get this, she's gonna do this. Yeah, you okay. You may have it life easy and clear that you think, but in the end you have nothing of substance left within your relationship. There's nothing of substance for her. You literally are tearing her down at the very spiritual level. You're crushing her because she's now trying to be the man and the woman for the household. She's doing it alone. And women don't put up with this. Under no circumstances, be in a relationship to where you're settling. You're sacred, your water carriers, your water protectors, and no life exists without water. So do better in your choices. Stand up for the very sacredness that you have to all living things. Don't settle. Oh, we have kids together. That's not a reason for you to do it. Oh, he'll change, he'll change. Yeah, how many of them have actually changed? Abuse is more than physical. It's spiritual, it's emotional, it's mental. And guys go through it too. And I would rather go and get myself a battery-operated girlfriend than to ever lower my standards and be in an abusive, toxic, or half-assed relationship ever again. And women, you need to do the same thing. Because when you love too much, you literally are trading a piece of your very sacred self forever. You will never get that back. The scars and the damage that leaves is forever. A bruised eye, bruised cheeks, yeah, that heals. But your heart, your heart, your spirit, your mind, that's forever. Are you willing to trade that and make that the example for your children and tell them that this is socially acceptable to live in misery, self-doubt, feeling like you're worthless, feeling like you're not doing enough, when in fact you're giving everything of yourself and getting not what you need back in return. And it goes on towards men too. I've been the victim of this on more than one occasion. I can no longer willfully accept toxicity in my life, and I will never again settle. And so my son, because I'm a single dad raising a 12-year-old, I will never again allow my child to think that it is okay just to settle. I will never allow him to think that sitting on the couch and allowing a woman to provide for him is okay because that's not a man. A real man will step up when things are hard. A real man doesn't need to be asked. He does it because he notices it needs to be done. A real man doesn't need DNA to provide for a child. And a real man steps up and takes care of the responsibilities of him pulling his damn pecker out. The fact is, is that there's too much of this stuff going on. We have got to stop this negative seed growing. We've got to stop allowing these trees of toxin to be planted within our own homes. We're not planting them in our front lawn. We're planting them in our very bedrooms, our living rooms, our workplaces. We have to be that change. We have to stop this now. We can't blame it on, oh well, the Democrats did this and the Republicans did this, and the mayor did this, and the federal government did this. No. We are allowing that. We are doing that because we allow it to happen. We simply don't do the things. You know, if everybody stopped watching the news because it's all negative, they wouldn't have viewers. They'd lose their sponsors. They would have to actually change the idealism that they can't just show a story that if it bleeds, it leads. It would literally change the entire ability for them to even make money and profitize off of that negative. They would have to actually change and become reporting positives. And only give those negative seeds that 30 seconds, but give the positive great stories that first 25 minutes. If we reverse the trend, we save ourselves, we save our ancestors' sacrifice, and we save our future generations. We need to do better, people.
