Ha2ku by ha2tim- insights from hamblacha 2010 Every warrior must take it upon him/herself to find something worth questing for. When we go on a quest, we throw ourselves into the unknown forcing ourselves to grow. I use the term warrior because in our process of SelfMastery™ we understand a warrior as one who is involved or experienced in conflict. In our culture we have been taught to avoid conflict; take the easy road. Not realizing we may be robbing ourselves of the very experience we may need to move us to the next level in our lives. When we embark on a quest we are thrown into a world of difficulties and obsticles that can bring out the best in us. Even more important these challenges can bring out the worst. I know you probably are wondering why is it important to bring out the worst. Well many of us have pushed the worst part of us so deep down inside that we can pretend and e

Image via Wikipedia Exposed and alone/ Realized, I had all I need/ When I stopped hiding/ Ha2ku by ha2tim- hamblacha 2010 Stop hiding from your power. Wake up to the reality that you have been created with all that you need to succeed. Sitting alone during my hamblache I realized that everything that I felt that I needed to be successful i really did not need. Wake up to your power.

Image via Wikipedia Shadows trick my eyes sounds made in dark shock my soul I still say welcome - Hamblacha 2010 As I sat in the woods during my hamblacha, I experienced many lessons. This one deals with shadows and fears. In life we are surrounded by unknowns and if we are not careful these unknowns will consume us. Not because they have power but because we allow our fear to make them bigger and more dangerous than they really are.Things in this world feed off our fear, and many of us surrender our power along with our dreams to these monsters we created. Last year was my first time out on hamblacha. I was alone and scared, but I would not admit this fact and as soon as night fell I was jumping at every crack I heard in the woods. i would turn around and prepare myself for the worst and in the end I used all of that energy for nothing. What I decided to do at that time was to sit down and embrace the fact that I was alone, that I had a fear of the dark, and even accept that

Image by lassi.kurkijarvi via Flickr Exposed to nature No Food or water I prayed, words had no meaning. I will be reflecting on Hamblacha 2010 and the lessons that came to me for a few blogs so bear with me. I exposed myself totally to nature, and faced what one of my elders described as the "lonely miles". The concept of the "lonely miles" was taught to me by an elder who use to be a race car driver. He stated that in the middle of a long race he would reach a point where he would start to wonder about why he chose to race. He stated that he had to battle and push through this time. He told me that this is where your mind starts playing tricks on you and if you are not totally commited to what you are doing you will quit. Because what you are doing makes no rational sense. As a race car driver he stated that he would be faced with the fact that here he is in the middle of a 500 mile race, a full grown man with responsibilities, risking his life by hurtling h

Peace:   Hey just checking in. I hope that these quotes and proverbs that I am sending out are helping you in your day to day development. I have something else to share with you today for those of you that are serious about your personal developmenat and SelfMastery. check out this video and if there is enough interest in the ideas presented we can arrange a viewing of the whole movie and discussion. You know I am always trying to find ways to raise funds to support what the Tribe is doing. so at your leisure check out this powerful video. It is about what scientist have labeled as the spiritual Molecule. There is a substance that is produced in the pineal gland called DMT, that modern science is stating is the gateway to alternate realities, but if you check the writings and rituals of ancient people as well as check out the modern shaman they have known about this for a while. We did not label it in scientific terms but we knew, and still know how to release it. This is the gatewa

Image via Wikipedia Have you ever took the time to listen to the hum of mother Earth?If you take the time to listen, she will teach you alot about yourself and the world around you. While I was out doing my Hamblacha I had to listen. The sounds that I heard were amazing, but nothing unusual. It seems that all these sounds when you take the time to listen tell you a story.  In the city I would walk right pass a bird chirp, cricket song, and a mosquito's buzz. But on my short journey these sounds combined with the Hum of Mother Earth helped heal my heart and carry my prayers to their destination. When we take the time to listen we will see that our mother is singing for us all the time, and this hum can help us heal all the pains in in our lives. Whether they have taken the guise of emotional or physical. Our healing is waiting for us, as a matter of fact it is calling us if we can slow down and listen. The Earth is humming singing 2 songs, day and Night you can hear.... listen

Patience is the key to contentment. ~  Muhammad It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways. Buddha Brother Ha2tim Self Mastery Coach Nation Builder Urban Shaman

This is a ha2ku dedicated to the ants that ate me up during my hambalche. These tiny ones taught me that the small may not be able to beat the large, but they can irritate them to a point of surrender. thank you ants for forcing me to surrender, because when we pray shouldn't we be in a state of surrender? Thank you ants for humbling me. When we pray shouldn't we be humble? These ants were able to teach me a college level spirituality course in less than 48 hours. The Spirit is marvelous.
