I am a \u2018Seeker\u2019, a \u2018Searcher\u2019 and a \u2018Truth Freak\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have searched various pathways, roads, and highways to \u2018higher\u2019 knowledge. I have tried various methods, schools, disciplines, systems, theories\u2026 (etc.) to find the truth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pieces of the \u2018puzzle\u2019 often fall into place only after you have knocked yourself out and laboured over where they should fit for days, months- years\u2026 sometimes these pieces only fall into place after you give up hope that you\u2019ll ever understand or \u2018know\u2019 what it\u2019s all about, what\u2019s real, and where which bit of information or dis-information fits into the \u2018big picture\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Somebody exposed me to \u201cMedicine Cards\u201d and their system of approaching the understanding of Life and Spirituality through a Native American understanding of Totem animals as spirit guides. The meanings and personalities attached to various animals depicted on these cards, and the book that explains them, made more sense to me than any dream interpretation book I ever read, or scanned through.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a healthy skeptical streak. I am not a debunker, I don\u2019t go into anything with a cement mind (all mixed up and permanently set). I don\u2019t believe this is a religion that worships animals or lower astral spirits disguised as animals. It may be more like a belief system in which enlightened non corporeal beings (that some of us call \u2018Angels\u2019) appear to those with a certain mind set as animals, or animal spirits.<\/span><\/p>\n

When trying to ascertain who or what my \u2018guides\u2019 might be or \u2018be like\u2019, I drew several cards.<\/span><\/p>\n

The card I drew to represent the guide I have who\/which assists me, or teaches me about, or helps me understand \u201cThe Great Star Nation\u201d was \u201cOwl\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Owl is often called \u2018Night Eagle\u2019 and represents \u2018Deception\u2019 because it flies silently. Its prey doesn\u2019t know it\u2019s there until it\u2019s too late. Many people, especially liars, are afraid of \u2018Owl People\u2019 because they sense we can see through their lies, and see them -not as they wish to be seen, but as they are. (or as close to \u2018as they are\u2019 as anybody can see them.)<\/span><\/p>\n

So, yeah, I do make dangerous people uncomfortable. And yeah, maybe this principle, this flavour or note or chord of spiritual insight, or spiritual guidance; does help me see through lies and liars. (I take so many grains of sand with this suff, it\u2019s a wonder I haven\u2019t died of a heart attack a long time ago.)<\/span><\/p>\n

I do not \u2018channel\u2019 wisdom from Night Eagle. This is a facet of my spiritual make-up that I bounce ideas and feelings off of.<\/span><\/p>\n

Am I a Knight Eagle? Most \u2018knights in shining armour\u2019 were a whole lot more tarnished than history admits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do I subscribe to some lofty moral code of chivalry? Lofty moral code, yes. Chivalry? I doubt it.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t let anybody define me by their misunderstanding of this world or their own delusions (or greed, or manipulative prowess\u2026 whatever).<\/span><\/p>\n

And I am not \u201cOn\u201d \u201c24\/7\u2033. But I thought it might be a good Idea to write stuff here. Why? -who knows? -because it\u2019s here and because I spent a lot of anguished time and energy looking for the understanding that is falling into place these days and I thought it might be nice to \u2018put it out there\u2019 for anybody who might be struggling themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014that works.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014Night Eagle<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
