“They are so damn ‘intellectual’ and rotten that I can’t stand them anymore….I (would) rather sit on the floor in the market of Toluca and sell tortillas, than have anything to do with those ‘artistic’ bitches of Paris. (on Andre Breton and the European surrealists)”

The truth shall set you free. This is the truth. When we speak the Truth, we do not need to be defensive. Truth needs no defense. When we speak the Truth, we do not need to attack because Truth cannot be attacked.

Maya mystical Vision Serpent, part of the Tree of the World (via tolteca pilo)
View tolteca pilo’s map Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here)
The venerated serpent, drawn under the Maya canons as being part of the Tree of the World. Charcoal and color pencil.
In ancient times this vision snake was invoked by the rulers and priets of old, in sacred rituals within temples or at the top of pyramids. This was done in order to contact the ancestors. The revered ancestors would then manifest in this world only through this vision snake. They will come out of the mouth of the snake. In many cases, it was done so the spirit of the beloved deceased could witness a specific event or festivity.

"That is not our way, to set yourself apart and talk about who you are and what you’ve done...."

“That is not our way, to set yourself apart and talk about who you are and what you’ve done. You let your life speak for you. With the Mohawk people, wisdom is how you live and how you interpret what your mother and father, what your grandmothers and grandfathers have told you about this world - and then how you interpret that into the fact of living every day.”

- ~ Tom Porter, MOHAWK
It is said, how you live your life makes so much noise that people can’t hear what you are saying anyway. It is so easy to see people who do not walk the talk.

“For me, the essence of a medicine man’s life is to be humble, to have great patience, to be close to the Earth, to live as simply as possible, and to never stop learning.”

- ~Archie Fir Lame Deer
The Medicine people focus on their Being, not their doing. After all, we are human beings not human doings. The Medicine people are very patient and consciously trying to live a live of humility. Medicine people are servant leaders. Their main purpose is to serve the needs of others. By this service attitude, they become the leaders people listen to and the leaders the people want to follow. The Medicine people say everyone is their teacher. Maybe we should try to live this way ourselves; humble, patient, honoring the Earth and listening to our teachers.
