Pay Attention To Your World Around You

The focus of your practice now - there needs to be more attention to what is immediately around you. Try to notice little things that may have escaped your attention.

The creatures who may walk on the ground, the little ones eh. The birds in the sky, the ants on the trees and so on. Try to pay attention to what the non-humans are doing. That will always give you clues as to what you can expect in the future.

Do you know that almost all accurate future predictions are supported by non-human life on this planet. They do not know, ala a crystal ball eh, what's going to happen exactly in the future but with their cumulative contributions simply by being - and being comfortable with them and allowing them to be and exist without harming them and perhaps even being cordial to them - saying goodlife and so on and mean it - then they might just make available to your conscious mind or to your inspirations what may happen. And what develops there is either through dream or sudden inspiration or other forms of communicated wisdom - you may get an idea of what will happen in the future.

This will not have to do with personal lives very much but it may have to do in general with weather, climate, earth motion and activities, drought, flood, plenty, famine. In short it will have to do with general things that can often make the difference between comfort in life and struggle.

This is not new information so much, it is just a reminder for you. Pay attention - what are the animals doing, are the trees seeding in an unusual way, what are the plants doing.

I'm not talking about what you grow in your yard and fertilize and water, I'm talking about what grows naturally on its own without need for human care.

If you're in a city this would probably be weeds, also known as plants that have not been fully appreciated for who they are yet, or trees that have grown on their own near streams perhaps or rivers.

If you live in the country then they will simply be plants - not a part of farms - or in the forest. Old growth perhaps or even young growth that has sprouted up from old growth.

Pay attention. What are the plants doing. What are the animals doing. What does it feel like around you. Pay attention. What do the clouds look like in the sky. Pay attention. How is the wind blowing and what ways does the patterns in the dirt or sand show you what might be.

Talk to the elders. Ask them what signs they have seen in the past in the natural world - what I'm speaking about here today - that have immediately preceded something that happened. Don't lose that wisdom in your family, in your culture, in your world. Try to accumulate it not only for your own sake and the sake of those around you but for the sake of future generations.

Towards that end, if you like, you can say the following living prayer. You might say, "I am asking that all those beings on Earth which are representative of all peoples now make their knowledge and wisdom much more available to human beings and especially to me that I may know and communicate to my fellow humans that which we need to know to help ourselves and to help each other."

Now when I say "peoples" this always refers to all beings. Goodlife.
