-
Rise with the sun to pray to the Creator. Pray alone. Pray
often. The Great Spirit will listen, if you will only speak.
-
Be tolerant of those who are lost on their path. Ignorance,
conceit, anger, jealousy, and greed stem from a lost soul.
Pray that they will find guidance.
-
Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow others to make
your path for you. It is your road... and yours alone. Others
may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.
-
Treat the guests in your home with much consideration. Serve
them the best food, give them the best bed, and treat them
with respect and honor.
-
Do not take what is not yours... whether from a person, a
community, the wilderness, or from a culture. It was not
earned nor given. It is not yours.
-
Respect all things that are placed upon this earth... whether
it be people or plants, or animals.
-
Honor other people's thoughts, wishes, and words. Never
interrupt another or mock or rudely mimic them. Allow each
person the right to personal expression.
-
Never speak of others in a bad way. The negative energy that
you put out into the universe will multiply when it returns to
you.
-
All persons make mistakes. And all mistakes can be forgiven.
-
Bad thoughts cause illness of the mind, body, and spirit.
Practice optimism.
-
Nature is not for us, it is a part of us. They are part of
your worldly family. Care for them.
-
Children are the seeds of our future. Plant love in their
hearts and water them with wisdom and life's lessons. When
they are grown, give them space to grow.
-
Avoid hurting the hearts of others. The poison of your pain
will return to you.
-
Be truthful at all times. Honesty is the test of one's self
will within this universe.
-
Keep yourself balanced. Your Mental self, Spiritual self,
Emotional self, and Physical self, all need to be strong,
pure, and healthy. Work out the body to strengthen the mind.
Grow rich in spirit to cure emotional ails.
-
Make conscious decisions as to who you will be and how you
will react. Be responsible for your own actions.
-
Respect the privacy and personal space of others. Do not touch
the personal property of others, especially sacred and
religious objects. This is forbidden.
-
Be true to yourself first. You cannot nurture and help others
if you cannot nurture and help yourself first.
-
Respect others' religious beliefs. Do not force your beliefs
on others.
-
Share your good fortune with others. Participate in charity.
