Lakota Medicine Wheel
The medicine wheel is a sacred symbol used by Plains tribes and others to represent all knowledge of the universe.
The medicine wheel consists of a circle with horizontal and vertical lines drawn through the circle's center. Sometimes, an eagle feather is attached in the wheel's center.
Design Meaning
Circle - The circle represents the sacred outer boundary of the Earth often referred to as the Sun Dance Circle or the Sacred Hoop. It represents the continuous pattern of on-going life and death.
Lines - The horizontal and vertical lines represent the sun and man’s sacred paths, respectively; the crossing of the two lines indicates the center of the Earth where one stands when praying.
Feather - The eagle feather is a sign of Wakan Tanka’s - the Great Spirit's - power over everything.

----------------------
These tribes refered to rocks , animals and bugs as equals, respected them mush as people today respect eachother when they do. Even communicated with all these relations. So surrounding ourself with the life of all our relations, and being string in connection through how we relate. In the circle of life, this is a cycle of energy flowing from generation to generation from mother to suckling, Father to Family, God into Cosmos ~ stars~ planets~ galaxy ~ Sun Moon Planet Earth, sky earth water and that energy flowing all that fills them...
Surrounded by the Atom is the nucleus and molecules and and everything organized right around centers of orbit, so things orbit around the stillest place in us, the witness, pure consciousness, Christ, the eye of Horus, the everliving I, The Soul.
What has remained the most same about you since your time as a baby and befor that? What has remained the most same through your times journey through space around the sun years?
Clean up after I selft, so things do lurk up behind I , don't need to watch your back if you take care of things not leaving them behind, unfinished business catches up to want finished and well all our works fruits will catch up to us so what we leaving behind us even now is a Itinual stream , of light and info, vibration, like a shooting star leaves a stream of light info and disappears from visible eye into the Akashic record , a the record of all history, everything stored in the memory bank of consciousness itself. The memory of JAH Rastafari, HIM tells his-story the best!
JAH is always abouve and allways want to keep each of His Children firm on what belongs to them , to live in what JAH supplies is each ones lot, divine inheritance, we earn so much in life, nothing can change divine will, must merge into it, align with it for most success.
SO many aspects of life, we must meditate upon them all, in modern times we must eat best to have best working mind body soul interconnected synergy. Or else we will not keep our intelligence, spiritual knowledge and soul will power up enough to keep up with advanced technology and the world-wide community so close through the internet, telephones and more (planes-jets-trains, automobiles, bycicles even help shorten the time space continuum .
yes we have the material on our left hand side and the spirit in our right hand side. As KKing Selassie coronation he hold the orb(matter/earth/body/time/space) and scepter(spirit truth JAH 1KING of Universe and all Creation including earth)
Ahead of us are many choices, situations and circumstances. Question and answers.
Behind us are some answers from the history of all , our Lord God and King, The high Priest tells us that there are now in front of us we don't have reference to in history to find answers but we must look with in ourselves, in the depths of our souls, to almighty God JAH RASTAFARI , to Spirit and Truth itself, the Eternal 1, The AllKnowing .
Humans seem to be the links from heaven to earth, when each bridge is not connected peace cant get to earth in its multitudes.
Only birds and humans walk on 2 legs. This is because birds can fly with their wings and humans can fly with their Spirits.

Thunderbird
The legend of Wakinyan Tanka, the Great Thunderbird describes these beings as good spirits, guardians of truth and protectors of men – they are sacred and highly regarded by the Lakota people.
Symbolism
The Thunderbird is often depicted as giant bird-like beings with colossal wings and sharp claws that seem both protective and threatening at the same time.
As they are attributed with the ability to either create or destroy, it is believed this dual nature (give life, cause death) has made them a very prominent, powerful symbol in Native American art.
-------------
To many ancients, many animals and even insects will be identified as Angels, Surrounding, guiding, guardians.
To see every thing in nature come into alliance with the I becoming IandI. Moving,and changing everything around us from within out, from the center , from that of evry living soul communicates with the great guide and creator, sustainer and master of all Good Skill and Virtue.
Its in us and it surrounds us, tho hidden in divers matter, we all relate because something is the same in all.
By the way I seen a rainbow surrounding the moon tonight in a mystic foggy sky, very vibrant, so we are surrounded by our aura, and band sides and layers to that too.....Word can never prepare one full, word must lead ones and ones to the meditation and divine inspiration. The we can see.
