Cherokee Wisdom

by Starperson on January 6th, 2014

An old Cherokee was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, "A battle is raging inside me ... it is a terrible fight between two wolves.

One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The old man fixed the children with a firm stare. "This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too."

They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee replied: "The one you feed."

bluesbaby5050: Thank's Star!

That's exactly Right! " THE ONE YOU FEED! "

Quinton: Awesome parable Star, thanks

Awesome parable Star, thanks for sharing :)

Tarheel: Spankin post, Star

We have similar wavelengths.
Over the weekend, I was thinking of this one (below) and I modified it ...

Old adage-"God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference."

My addendum would include (in some better verbage)- "Kod, grant me the eyes to see the beauty of that which doesn't need changing". Perhaps that meaning lies in the serenity portion of the old adage.

Great post, Star.

bluesbaby5050: This Old Adage is also the SAME one used as the .............

As the " Special Prayer " that people use in the the AA Meetings by people that have Addictions to Alcohol, and Drugs, and Gambling. ( ANY ADDICTION) It is a Universal Prayer used by millions of people around the globe. (Used in the 12 STEP Program in this case).

7:18am : HebrianDaniel, most of those new ages are frauds and cons just trying to make money off the guillible. A sure sign is if they teach polarity and fear, pick a side and fight, or someone is gonna come save ya. Its to make you a victim and keep you programmed

7:20am : avoid anyone like that, cuz they conning ya

1:52pm : Good stuff,western_yogi. All the ships must sail the same direction.

2:49am : well in reality its about personal responsibility, no one can do the work for you, no one can heal you, that you must do yourself

6:04am : Tarheel thats a grand fallacy, it goes against the law of nature which is variety. Its the great lie of duality , the ying and yang, to impose your will on another or group and make them bend to your will. Thats why that path leads you to going in circles because making everyone or forcing them to be exactly like you goes against the laws of nature. Nature is variety, you trying to make everything a blade of grass and wiping out everything else. Life doesnt work like that and neither do human beings. What you may like may not be something someone else likes,and what may be good for you may not be good for someone else.

6:11am : everyone here in this matrix is on a journey of finding out self and not self, and through many incarnations you move forwards or backwards finding out who you truly are. Once you unravel that riddle and remember your true self you are out of the game

6:12am : everyone has been a saint and commited attrocties on the journey of discovering self and not self here. Some take longer to learn than others as well

6:13am : Thats the only game, not the dramas people circulate about some galactic war, light vs dark. Its just about finding your true self and remembering to get out.

10:27am : at the basis of it, is learning who you are not, and who you truly are.

10:28am : and by doing this you learn who you are to be happy, loved and you self heal in doing this and are no longer in duality, because you have found your true self.

10:29am : just as you have done things and experienced things in your incarnations when you may not like to find your true self eventually

10:30am : what is happening in this matrix is merely someone elses experience, and doing things which may be to learn who they are not, so they can eventually find who they truly are and get in touch with their inner god force or higher self to get out of duality themselves.

10:31am : they may need the experiences which may not be pleasant for them or for others to reach the end of their journey which everyone will eventually reach to get out of duality and this consciousness experiment

10:34am : so judging others, means you have not reached that point yourself of finding out who you truly are, and that all these experiences themselves all had a purpose in making who you are at the moment, which is to find your true self and to get out of duality, and get out of the consciousness experiment.

10:37am : you may even have multiple incarnations going where in one you are a saint and in another a murderer, a drug dealer, a prositute, a soldier, all with the goal in having so many at once to speed up your experiences where you can integrate all aspects of you to find out who you truly are in touch with your inner aspect of god force or higher self.

10:38am : its the way the consciousness experiment was designed, just as you are here to learn who you are from your experiences

10:40am : trying to save someone may be depriving them of theirs where they do not learn anything and they have to repeat the experience again because you decided to deprive them of their experience to learn from.
