homo spiritus

I am looking forward to the changes coming, and people should start to get excited ! Our grandchildren will move into the next form for humanity. They will no longer be homo sapiens, but will start the era of homo spiritus, spiritual mankind. ( homo spiritus- copyright allen zronik 1998 )

wrath of god

well, I guess it is about time, mankind will be reminded it is very small, pitiful, and not the king of the castle on earth. as we see the world wide crop failures coming, water shortages, and devastation from the weather, people had better take advantage of these times to get right with the universe, get in harmony in themselves, with each other and with the earth. the ones that do this, will be the survivors.and i do not mean mindlessly repeating words of the prayers, lighting candles, or chanting with no connectedness to anything but your own ego; i mean really get it right.I do not mean ' drum circles' which, as far as I have seen, are musical experiments by people who would not know spirituality from a hole in their head,but getting it right. deep inside everyone is the exact knowledge of what this means but they better get busy pealing away the layers to get down deep into it, while there is time.

this year, we should all have our plans for the next 2 decades ready; where we will get food, how we will get along; and most important; have our spirituality strong to guide us.

commentary feb 08

the only thing that keeps you from enjoying every second of your life, is you.. live with the fact that you could die at any time.

comments

If you want to talk about spirituality, don't blurt it out in passing, as you speed off to do something else. You must take the time, and make the effort, to sit calmly and spend as much time as necessary to completely finish the discussion............................You cannot treat it like ordering fast food:............... " yeah,I got one dream about a pipe and a wolf, can I have an explaination to go?'..............doesn't work that way.

poem

Jack frost came when all was dark........ and painted on my window.........pictures of a fallen star..............and crescents that were wind blown...........many things that have worth............will be swept away..........by the huge sun drawn broom.................of a cold december day !........copyright allen zronik 2007, based upon a poem I wrote almost 40 years ago.

comments dec 07

The humility of the great warrior comes from not only self awareness of one's abilities and skills, but from knowing that in the great scheme of things, my life is expendable.In all the great mass of living things, past, present, and future, my life is as nothing..Who am I, to think I am special in all that timeless life and living?I am nothing, and while I value life, and some others might even value my presence here; my life is what I can offer. Who am I NOT to spend my life on a sacred way , giving up things that are not in the path; so that I can keep ready those things that might help others?Who am I not to devote my life to living in harmony and spirit?Shall I taste the physical sensations sparingly, as I need devote time and energy to the great Path; or shall I indulge like a glutton in sensation until the path is but a ' could have been' ?The humble warrior knows that his life is like a blade of grass on the vast rolling prairie; and is as nothing but another part of the same whole.In spiritual awareness, I not only touch all things; I AM ALL THINGS !I am that is, i am that am, what is: i am.The jehovah consciousness goes on, and on.......

ultimately, each person of light is willing to , and must, stand firm even if alone, to push back the darkness of mind and soul anywhere it is found.medicine powers are spiritual awareness, in different hues and vibrations.the powers we have, or discover in ourselves, are those things we vibrate most close to. as we elevate vibrations, we reach further out in spiritual awareness, and thus in the encompassing range of power. not only is distance not a barrier to our powers,time is no barrier. However, when we change the past, the ramifications reach not only to our time,changing lives, but far into the future to the very ends of time.we must consider carefully, and the holy ones in tradition, take up to 4 days to consider actions, or inactions to take. also, it is known in all cultures, and is also in the bible, that he who can heal, can also kill. for this reason, and for other reasons, we live in a dispassionate center, or can instantly reach it from anywhere in our emotional or mental medicine wheels.These are layers of our overall total medicine wheels.once we think we understand, we are ready to begin wiping clean the mind to let in true understanding.

this is the time written about in the bible that those who have a lot ( of spirit and light ) will get even more; and thos who have but a little , will have even that little taken from them. this is the time to get it together before the changes coming. You ain't seen nothin' yet !

so many ascribe too much emotion to Jesus Christ,they just do not get it, He had the dispassionate centering of dedication.

age 5

I was very proud of my new leather mittens with fringe on the cuffs ! I insisted my mother wrap my shins with leggins like the old days; but two of my dad's big handkerchiefs had to do.They just stuck up to my knees. It was a deep snow winter, but I was very content !I had just turned five years old.

my book, art, photos. about "beyond the lodge of the sun"- revised edition. .It encompasses transcending, sweatlodge, sundance piercing,vision quest fasting,sacred pipe, directions, tobacco offering,starwalking, astral travel, medicine , healing, As my Lakota teachers shared traditional native ways in a fundamental unencumbered way.I experienced changes through consciousness, and then later was led to the ceremonies that usually brought about these changes.This was done so that I could understand that the growth and changes are in us whether we use tradition and ceremony or not.They are a safe time tested way when done right by people who are prepared in the right way, but need to now be stripped down to the bare essentials so that the basic funamental rite remains in it's purest form. In this way, people of all ways can find benefit from them without the burden of learning intricate symbology that no longer applies. In this revised edition, I have added the commentary that could not before be told, and it rounds out the book, making it whole and complete. It refers to the changes coming and our responsabilities and preparedness. My limited edition reproductions of photos of buffalo and hawks are now available.Taken in Alberta, Canada, the landscape is prairie and could be mistaken for Montana, Wyoming, or the Dakotas.They are taken with 35 mm film and printed on an epson printer onto acid-free paper for archival ( museum ) quality.Each are signed and numbered.Each reproduction has a quality of depth available only through this printing process and resemble something half way between a photo and a painting because of this process.
