Everyone is free to have there own telling of the way they think it is. 
The 2 keepers talked of in this thread are free to sort it out.
It does not disrupt anything in me. LOL |
Goody-good then
ImthatIm.
Because entering the 'injun country' to me is like stepping into a mine-field and I am quite shell-shocked already.

This
IS a beautiful and ever so important Amerind story - Thank you for bringing it up:

And the seven ceremonies are so valuable to keep.
Info about the pipe (for non-NDNs):

From the video:
Pipe as an
"energy conductor" for energetic thought-form and he called that an "energy signature"..
Interesting ....
In my culture "the energy conductors" are some specific trees (symbolic of the World Pole), but of course a Shaman no longer needs to do these symbolic acts.
"The Spirit Horse" that came and took the shaman-to-be-person
to-the-other-side during the
"Shamanic-Death-Experience" and also brought him/her back into the body - now is the energy between the Earth & Sky carrying the prayers. (What Tibetans call the "Windhorse" and Mongolians "Hiimori" - the now 'extra soul of the Shaman').
But the expression
"Walks like a living prayer" should be clear enough - no?
Either understood by these symbolic acts or as an already existent "energy signature" of a holy person.
What the Sage intends .... manifests ...
