It is said that those who walk in oneness with Creator are people of few words. We understand that we have nothing to prove and are not living in a state of lack. Creator provides all its children with everything we need. These needs are being fulfilled even before we have the presence of mind to ask. Nothing exists beyond the realm of Creator or Great Mystery. This is why in the Seneca Tradition; all ceremonies are based first and foremost on thanksgiving. Walking in thankfulness is a way of being; a way if understanding the great love Creator has for all of us. It is an essential part of this tradition to remember our oneness with Creator.
If we forget, our Elders remind us for they have had many life experiences that have guided them home to this Sacred Unity Within. There is no separation between Creator and ourselves, only the one we imagine is there. The truth is that all creature beings, we included, are equally as valuable and important in the eyes of Creator. This is why we speak of them as our family. We say that they are all our relations and we give thanks for their wisdom. It is only humankind that has forgotten our true identity. When we bring our questions to Creator and ask for guidance, or the best way to live every day, we are walking as one with Creator. When we follow our inner guidance through our unity with Creator, our actions become blessed with wisdom. Our thoughts, words and actions become infused with truth. Each action is carefully laid out, step by step, for the health and well being of the next seven generations. In this way we walk our talk and fulfill Creators’ Dream of Peace.
