Good day or evening to all the listeners of Medicine Wheel Ministries podcast, where we challenge the heart, the mind, the spirit, and try to become more one. I'm your host, Bear. I want to apologize to my listeners for being kind of uh not dropping as as usual as I was. Um as you all know, I had uh a very deep personal loss recently and uh had to take some time to grieve. So I appreciate all my listeners who are coming back here for this new episode that we're dropping today. Um notice this podcast is intended for mature audiences only. Please do not listen to this podcast around children. Also, everything in this podcast is of my own personal views, opinions, thoughts.

Uh like us on Facebook and uh please try to help us get better equipment to provide a better audio experience for you. Um you can donate at the bottom below to a link to our Cash App. Um today we're gonna go back and we're gonna speak on some beliefs. Uh, you know, we've talked about uh you know the seed of death and you know good medicine, bad medicine, and you know, being the people. Because in the end, we are all the people, regardless of skin color or beliefs or culture, we're all the children under the creator. Period. And it doesn't matter what we call that creator, but I mean beliefs, how much has happened over the beliefs, how many cultures are eradicated in a cloud of blood, rape, genocide, hate, etc. all in the name of a higher power of God? How much lies are cast as truth to hide these atrocities in the name of justice or progress under the guidance of God? Every history book shares only the righteous version of the victor. But what of all those innocents that are destroyed to get there? Do you really believe that your creator demands evil deeds and death to conquer others who worship in a different way? Only one way to God is to believe in God and through love. Never has God said that the only way is the Catholic way or the Baptist way or the Islamic way or the Buddhist way or so forth. In fact, all of these ways say not to judge others, not to harm others, to live in a good way, to be strong in family and come together for community for God's love. When did we become more powerful than the Creator? When did we get the right to change the Creator's original instruction given to all of mankind everywhere? Who gave anyone the power over others' lives? Look at your best friend. Are you gonna condemn them and kill them because they're listening to different music or food? Then why hate someone for their color their sexual preference or how they believe in God? None of that harms you, so why harm them? Respect and love thy fellow neighbor. This goes way beyond the human neighbors. You know, all plant and animals are our responsibility to keep safe. You know, to prove that point, I want you to take a multimeter, just a regular 12-volt multi-tester, and once you turn it on, I want you to grab the red side and the black side, one in each hand, you're gonna see electrical current. That's right. Energy. You do it to anything on this planet, anything in the universe, and there's energy. The creator's energy, the love that flows through us. So if we're all connected by this life force, this energy from the rocks to the sky to the birds, to the fish. Why is it that we can't live in a balance? Now, sure, we're going to, you know, eat plants, and we're going to eat animals, and they're going to eat us, or live off of the remains of us. It's a circle, an interconnected circle that was in perfect balance. And you've heard me talk about PFAS and different toxins that we've, you know, integrated into our own lives to basically destroy ourselves because we're just not content. Um, but there's more to it than that. You know, uh recently they um our government decided uh it was a good idea to officially unrecognize more traditional forms of spiritual belief. Now I'm talking about people that live by spirituality, people that live under paganism and so forth. The original instructions that people have been following for tens of thousands of years. And so many of those beliefs are been adopted and intertwined into organized religions. So here we are with a basically a doctrine that is being shoved down our throats. Well, that's not what our country is supposed to be about. You know, um Hitler did the same damn thing. Now I'm not saying that the administration in office is that, but what I'm saying is that anybody that takes the time to go back and actually look at the way that uh the Europeans and Asians and so forth had come into this country in the 16th and 1700s and seen what they were leaving. They were leaving religious and spiritual um attacks. They they were leaving uh absolute genocide because they believed in a different way. And this country, when it was founded, was said that it was free for the people. The people. That means you, that means me, that means everybody. And no one person should have the right to attack our beliefs. They shouldn't tell us that we have to go in and get an experimental uh injection, which is now proving the cause significant amount of issues. And I'm referring to the COVID shots. Um they've had a huge amount of issues starting to show up from those experimental vaccines. Experimental vaccines for an experimental virus that was engineered, because no natural virus mutates within five years to six different variations. That is just ridiculous to think that that exists like that in nature, because it doesn't. But we had an administration in this country under the Biden administration that pretty much made it to where if you didn't get this experimental shot that you wouldn't have health care, you couldn't be in the military to serve your country. I mean, come on, that's ridiculous. Healthcare workers that were told that they weren't allowed to work, people coming into factories that couldn't even produce anything. It was absolutely atrocious how we allowed our government to basically be, in essence, the same thing as, you know, the Hitler regime or the Stalin regime or whatever, and basically tell us what we can and cannot do to our own bodies. This is the home of the free people, and we just are not using our brains here to really combat the issue. Um now this administration's telling us what we can have as our spiritual beliefs inside our own homes. In our own homes. I don't care what anybody's spiritual beliefs are, that is their God given right to believe in what they have. When we forget to be humble above everything else, we forget our very compassion, our empathy, our heart. I want people to understand that there's a balance that we must have with our Mother Earth, with our sky, with our planets, with everything. We need to learn to live in a balance as a people with each other. You know, roughly 80% of the food, this is a rough estimate, but I believe it's like 80% of all the food grown in the world rots. But yeah, we have major starvation in many places in the world. Now, how is it that 80% of this food rots, but yet we have people that are starving? And I'm not talking in some third world country, I'm talking about right here, right where we are. Look in our our own backyard. All these people that are literally starving. Did you know that when your produce gets to a store, if it's not the right color, shape, conformity, texture, they throw it out. Because it must resemble the pictures that we were taught in grammar school. Are you absolutely for real? It's asinine. So it's got a little eye on it, or it's got a little bump on it. It's not gonna change its nutritional value or how it tastes. But we have become so obsessed with the way that things are supposed to look that we totally are killing ourselves. You know, carrots were never originally orange. That's been bred and genetically changed to be orange. Carrots traditionally had many colors, just like green beans. Green beans were multiple different colors as well. But they were bred and engineered to become just green because it's in their name. You know, and it had nothing to do with even the color. It had to do with whether it was either green or whether it was ripe. Because a bean in its pod, when it's ripe and dried, well, we already know what that pre is. But when you pick them before the beans actually freaking develop, you have a green pod, an unripened pod. But that's not the way that our produce in this country is turned into. In many parts of the developed world, we throw away so much, it's ridiculous to think just how much we're wasting. You know, when you throw away or you refuse to eat the traditional colors, like carrots being white or yellow or purple or red, um, or potatoes that are deep purple, or even some are black. Um when you get rid of all those colors, you actually are cutting away nutritional value. Macronutrients and vitamins that are within those that are not in your common orange carrot or whatever. I mean, we need to put aside that. You know, there's a practice that I believe for embracing humility, and it's realizing that we have so much power as a species over the life of everything else on this planet. And most people will never have the humility to understand just how powerful they are over the creator's creation. The average person gets up, they drink their coffee, they eat their breaths, they get the kids out to school, go to work, whatever, etc. We're all in that. But if you ever stop to think just how much life force you have, how much power you have over life. How about this? We're gonna do something really, really simple. Go get a houseplant. Any houseplant. Hell, you could even go and get just a small little herb. You can go get a small little tomato plant, strawberry plant, whatever. That plant's life is literally dependent on you. It's its own life force. And when we eat, say, a tomato that's ripe off that vine, the power that that tomato has to reproduce itself is within those seeds. We literally are taking away that plant's ability to produce with those seeds because we're consuming that tomato. So when you go and pick that tomato or that strawberry, you see those seeds, remember you literally have the power right then and there for the that single plant's entire future generations. So don't overtake. Be thoughtful. If you grow a plant for food, leave a little bit so that you can use those seeds to bring up the next generation. I always do the traditional way of the Lakota, which is offer tobacco prayer. Whenever I hunt, whenever I fish, whenever I forage, whenever I pick something from my garden, I always remember to thank the sacrifice of whatever that is for giving me food, for allowing me to take of it. Because it reminds me that I am that powerful that I have control over its life. And in order for me to walk in a balance the way that I truthfully believe that the creator, that God intended for me to be, which is a caretaker of the Eden, of the garden, not a desecrator, but a caretaker. And when you look at the world in that way and remember to do a prayer, just say, hey, thanks. I understand you're dead now, but thank you for giving this nutrients to my family, to feed my kid, to feed my friends, to feed my family. When you bring yourself down to that level of humility, only then can we start understanding the true power that we possess, the true power that God had put within our hands? And beliefs, beliefs can be manipulated and twisted to remove us from that power, to make it to where we look at it in a different way, to where we separate ourselves from the natural world, but we are part of that natural world. What do you think happens when you're buried? If you're buried in a thoughtful manner, you're not going to have your body stuffed with a ton of formaldehyde and chemicals. You're going to give yourself back to the earth that you have been living off of your entire life in a way that the earth, that all animals in that, all plants in that, have the ability to reuse the nutrients that we leave behind in our body. But leaves have a way of twisting things and separating us to make us think that, oh, we are the king of the food chain. Well, if we're the king of the food chain, how is it that a shark can kill us just as easy if we're swimming our ass in the ocean? Or how is it we're walking along a trail, minding our own business, and out comes a damn mountain lion and bam, you're dead? Hmm. Guess you weren't the king of the freaking woods after all. The fact is that we have allowed ourselves to forget humility, to twist beliefs, to where we literally are allowing it to consume our souls in a way that we are absolutely not just harming ourselves and harming our neighbors and harming the people, but we are hurting everything that the creator made before he made us. We are desecrating the very love and compassion that the creator was so angry about us doing before that he flooded the whole world. And it doesn't matter what your belief system is, every single belief system that I have personally so far have studied all believe in the great flood. It's interesting that every culture has believed in this great flood and has oral stories or legends of it long before the Bible was ever written and talked about it. Think about that one for a minute. That puts truth in the fact that the Creator has already tried wiping us out because we desecrated everything that he made. So when is it that we are going to grow up and quit acting like a bunch of spoiled little brats and start embracing that humility and love that the Creator gave for us to still be here? And if you don't think that Mother Earth can't wipe us all out in a split second, Yellowstone sure could. So don't want you to think about that for a second. It's proper to embrace humility. Set the politics, set the BS aside, and just be one with your neighbor, be one with the creator, embrace that humility, and don't allow these petty differences of our beliefs to really take away the most precious thing that we all have that right of life, love, and happiness. Thank you for joining us on Medicine Wheel Ministries. I'm your host, Bear. Until next time, be good to each other.
