In the Mystical Kingdom
Where the Great Spirit reigns
And all Life is Sacred
In Nature’s Domain.

Sitting high on the bent branch
Of an ancient Oak Tree
The Owl is there pondering
Things that will be.

He watches in silence
And is fully aware
Of all things and all creatures
That pass by him there.

Nothing gets past him
For he already knows
Who’s deceitful, who’s honest
Who’s friend and who’s foe.

He’s observant and knowing
And tactful and wise
Is fond of the dark Night
And sleeps at Sunrise.

His keen mind is conscious
Of the wisdom he holds
He can see in the future
How it will unfold.

He has all the answers.
He’s explored the Unknown.
So those who are in search of
Won’t go it alone.

In his magical essence
He sits watching now.
He’s Nature’s professor
The mighty wise Owl.

Adults built the wall
To divide and separate.
Children climb over.

:Susan-kay: Hanzlik.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

In all actuality, “The Wall” is simply a metaphor that represents a wide variety of things including Mindsets, Belief Systems, Boxes, Cages; anything that human beings can get caught up in; trapped in; imprisoned in; wrapped up in; entangled within; talked into; anything or anyone that can be bought off; paid off, etc.

Some of the “Bricks” used to build the wall(s) are slavery, poverty, theft, indoctrination, propaganda, manipulation, subjugation, war, tyranny, coercion, domination, force, and control and one of the greatest “Tools” used in the building of the wall(s) is the Corporate Media. When 6 Corporations control 90% of the Media, what does that tell you? Is it any wonder so many of the people are so easily manipulated and controlled? More “walls” are being built with every so-called breaking news story. (Notice the word “story”…)

The fact of the matter is, everything is energy and what is held within the mind will be created. Whatever belief system we choose to buy into will become our reality, which if we are not very careful, can place us into very small tiny boxes with very tight lids and therein lies the danger because often times, those tiny boxes that entrap and encompass us are not even our own original thoughts!

When people are kept in continual fear, continual survival mode, continual struggle, or in continual “crisis” mode, they are much easier to control and manipulate and there are those who literally feed off of the energy of fear and continuously create fear and promote fear.

The big secret out there that some don’t want others to know is, there are two primary emotions, love and fear and all other emotions stem from them. We create our own realities from whatever energy we are in. If we are in the energy of love, we create from there and if we are in the energy of fear, we create from there as well. It isn’t very difficult to figure out why some would prefer humanity to remain in the energy of fear and survival mode. After all, can you envision the all of humanity in there own personal power, instead of giving all of their power and their away continually? Life would change instantly upon this Planet for all of us, if that were to happen!

The good thing is, humanity as a whole is awakening to what’s been going on and there are many adults who are joining the wise children and are choosing to climb over the wall(s) as well, while there are still others who are yet pondering the notion of doing so. There are also some who are far too afraid of climbing over any wall(s). However, there are also those who will not even allow themselves to even dream, let alone think of doing such a thing and to me, that’s the saddest scenario of all.

To be so deeply ingrained and hunkered down within a box so tight that one cannot even allow themselves to think of any other possibilities, is very sad indeed! It’s one thing to consider the possibility of climbing over walls, even if one may be afraid to actually do so. However, it’s an entirely different thing to be totally surrounded by and imprisoned within the walls of a tight little box that one cannot see anything else at all.

However, it’s all about choice and everyone gets to choose.

Bless all of the children who have not yet been immersed in those things that contribute to the building of the wall(s) and bless all of those who protect them from becoming immersed.

When crime and violence fill the streets
And a plot is planned for the sure defeat
Of a specific Someone in some way
Remember that Somebody pays.

When Someone decides to do a wrong
By taking that which does belong
To Someone else, along the way
There will be Someone who will pay.

When Someone hurts, destroys, or kills
Somebody else against their will
In due time there will come a day
When Someone’s chosen who will pay.

When Someone commits that wrongful act
The Clock cannot be rewound back
To those haunting seconds of that fateful day
So left are the Victims who have to pay.

When Truth’s allowed to be covered up
And Lies prevail, the outcome does
Have direct effect on the lives of they
Who’ve been unjustly told that they have to pay.

Before Someone’s sentenced for the crime
Make sure the Truth is told in time.
Not Lies that cover the Crime Scene’s Day
Or the innocent will have to pay.

Just like the man who sits in jail
Because the Justice System failed
To honor Truth and wrongly say,
“An innocent man has got to pay.”

Leonard, I hope there soon will be
A place in time where you’ll be free
‘Cause you’re one of the Victims of That Day.
For Someone else, you’ve had to pay.

You’ve paid for something that you didn’t do
Many people know this and are praying for you
And we anxiously wait for That Sacred Day
When the Cage is finally opened and the Eagle flies away…

The man whose skin tone
She thought was the enemy
Saved her young son’s life.

“Never judge a Book by it’s Cover.” Remember that old saying?

Well, as we live our lives, the Chapters fall into place one by one as we go through all of our unique experiences…

The fact of the matter is, we all carry an amazing, inspirational Literary Masterpiece within us that we have been in the process of writing for years; a true Work of Art; our very own personal Biography and it’s totally up to each of us if we choose to share our story or not…

While standing outside in the bright Full Moon’s Light
I gazed at the Sky and admired the sight.
Of that big Moon who stood silent, so quiet and still
Her breathtaking beauty gave my heart a chill.

As I watched mesmerized at the vision so bold
My mind wandered to a place that is home
To the Wilderness Creatures who live wild and free
In the Mountains and Forests and the Open Prairies.

And my thoughts took me to a place I could see
The silhouette of a Gray Wolf on a Hill by a Tree
And I watched as he sat there ‘neath the shining Moonlight
With his nose to the Sky, howling into the Night.

His lonesome voice echoed through the Wind and the Trees
And his haunting song seeped to the soul within me.
As I watched him in awe, engulfed in the sound
The Great Spirit’s Presence was felt within and around.

The Moon was his possession; he had made her his own
She was part of his being; part of his soul.
And my body felt peaceful and my spirit was soothed.
I could have stayed there forever with the Wolf and his Moon.

And I could still hear him calling as I slowly came back
From that place I was taken near the Wolf and his pack.
Now every time I look at her, I hear that same tune.
His voice calls out to me, when I see the Wolf’s Moon.

Bald Eagle Take-Off

On the edge of a mountain’s jagged cliff
The Majestic Bald Eagle quietly sits
In the midst of snow and rolling clouds
Encompassed in the peace she’s found.

From there she watches the vast life below
While animals run and big rivers flow.
Where long, grassy prairies wave in the Wind.
Where past Spirits reside and new life begins.

And she decides the Direction she wants to go.
And prepares to journey where the Four Winds blow.
And when she spreads her wings and looks to the Sky
The Eagle is then getting ready to fly.

Soaring high in the Heavens, so proud and so free
She glides with such smooth grace, so effortlessly.
And as she floats with the clouds in the Realms up Above
She’s close to the Creator and Grandfather Sun.

And she’s fulfilling her purpose and achieving her goals
While teaching others freedom, she’s transcending her soul.
And as the Creator watches from His painted Dusk Sky
He’s proud of His Eagle as He watches her fly.

And He’s proud of His people when they soar through their fears
Discover their purpose; facing all types of mirrors.
For that transcends them, like Eagle; guides their soul through the Flight
Of their Unabridged Journey that leads them to His Light.

So, decide the Direction you want to go.
And prepare to journey where the Four Winds blow.
And spread your wings
And look to the Sky
And just like the Eagle
Get ready to fly…

 September 11, 2001. Blue Skies in New York City.
Someone knew the morning air, would bring darkness and pity.
They knew the planes were on the way, their destinations, fated…
WHO really knew Americans were so targeted and hated?

Yet one by one, each plane (?) did crash. Two now had hit the Towers.
The World was getting ready to send condolences and flowers…
And then, two more (?) came crashing down, leaving most in shock.
Americans stood hopeless; watching…for someone had stopped our clock.

What can one do as buildings melt and fall from fiery blasts
With helpless people in them, who are doomed to breathe their last?
Many would hit their knees and pray for all that had been lost.
And some would never be the same. How much did that day cost?

We’ll all remember that fated day, throughout the coming years.
And many unanswered questions will be mixed with grief and tears.
How could these things have happened? When will the bloodshed end?
How many loved ones will be lost? How many of our friends?

Will Humankind ever awaken, from our deep, unconscious sleep?
When will we realize it’s time to stop making mothers weep?
For the loss of their sweet children, it happens every day.
Every time a life is taken, some mother’s heart will break…

Will we learn to heed the call after watching those Towers fall?
What medals have we truly earned since those jets have crashed and burned?
What Lessons are there yet to teach, to people living out of reach?
Out of touch, without a clue, of other people’s points of view?

There’s danger in not knowing Truth, ignorance; not bliss.
So to hide one’s head down in the sand will not take care of this.
Some people do not want to know, they feel they’ll be protected
As if remaining in denial somehow, will leave them unaffected.

But running for cover to their box, will not help them escape.
Until they face those fears inside, illusion won’t keep them safe.
No matter how tight they close the lid, the box can still be shattered.
Anytime and anyplace by Truth, their convenience will not matter…

So at what time will the madness end and sanity come back again?
Who has the answers that make sense, to those on ALL SIDES of the fence?
And who knows what the future holds, since the date of 9-11?
I wonder…how many lost that day guard the Gates of Heaven?

He said it was way too cold
She said it was hot…

_____________________________________________________________________________________

I have often heard it said that life is merely a matter of perspective and that each living being upon the Earth has their own perspective based upon their own unique life experiences. Perhaps, whether one subscribes to the perspective theory or not is also merely a perspective? I could not answer that for you, for that would totally depend upon your own perspective… However, for me, it’s a fairly easy theory to subscribe to.

What is perspective anyway? Is it a point of view? Is it an opinion? Is it an analogy? Is it an outlook? Is it a theory? Is it a consensus? Is it simply a way of looking at something? Is it a belief system? What is it?

All of my life, I often heard things like, “That will never happen.” “That could never be done.” “That is impossible.” “There’s no way.” “If anyone believes something like that, they must be crazy.” So what are those types of statements? Matters of perspective as well?

When attempting to talk about the current state of affairs upon this Planet, the three stock replies that I often hear most from my family and friends are, “I know something is wrong, but I don’t care what it is and I don’t want to talk about it! Then there’s this one, “I just don’t want to know!” However, this seems to be the most common and the most favorite stock reply of them all, “There’s nothing I can do about it anyway!”

Really?

Could each of those stock replies that I continually hear actually be the same exact thing, simply matters of perspective? Or, could they also simply be excuses? Hmmm… now that question could also be a matter of perspective as well, wouldn’t you agree? After all, what may be considered as an excuse by one, may be considered a matter of perspective by another, right?

How many human beings are on this Planet right now? I’m not sure of the exact number however I have seen the number of 7.3 billion floating around on the Internet. Yet, who really knows for certain? Could it possibly be that all of the various numbers traveling through Internet Universe are simply nothing more than matters of perspective? How can we know for sure?

Regardless, let’s just say there are 7.3 billion human beings on this Planet at this moment. Should that be the case then there’s actually 7.3 human beings all with different perspectives as well, right? 7.3 billion human beings who, even though  we all share the same Planet,  we all also have very different perspectives, for we all have our own unique energies and life experiences.

Basically, if we wanted to add some analogy to that, we could actually perhaps say there are 7.3 human being worlds on this Planet, couldn’t we? Many of us have heard comments about how some people live in another world, right? Well, if you think about it, isn’t that actually true in a way? Don’t we all live in our own world made up of our own perspectives, belief systems, our personal experiences, energies, and emotions? For example, although we can offer assistance, help, and support to one another, we are still ultimately responsible for our personal journey through this Earth Walk, are we not? With that I mean, we all have our own work to do that nobody else can do for us, and although there will undoubtedly be those who choose to find as many shortcuts as they possibly can and there are also those who may actually choose not to do any of their work at all, that’s also just a matter of perspective, is it not?

Every human being on this Planet has their own story they could tell, that is unique to them. Although other people may be able to relate to their story, only we ourselves can actually know how we truly feel. We cannot honestly speak for anyone else in regards to claiming that we actually know exactly how someone else feel may because we don’t know. Why? Because we are not them! We have not lived their lives or their experiences! How each human feels is a sum of their entire life experience and for those who happen to also believe in past lives, well then the story can become even more complicated, as far as energies are concerned!!!

Simply because someone may be a member of the same family, that does not mean every member of that family holds the same exact perspectives. Someone who is very tall may perhaps have a completely different perspective than someone who is very short. Someone who is naturally thin may have a totally different perspective than someone who struggles with their weight. Someone who is homeless and living out on the street may have a totally different perspective than someone who has a roof over their head and a warm bed to sleep in. Someone who has continually known hunger may have a totally different perspective than someone who has consistently had plenty to eat. Someone who struggles to merely survive day by day may have a totally different perspective than someone who has never had to worry about money. Someone who continually puts their life on the line for others may have a totally different perspective than someone who continually puts other lives in jeopardy. Someone who has never known peace may have a totally different perspective than someone who has never experienced war. Someone who has been blind or deaf since birth may have a totally different perspective than someone who has been able to see and hear all of their life. Veterans may have a totally different perspective than those who have never served in the military. Parents who have lost a child may have a totally different perspective than parents who have not had to face that loss. Someone who has lived with health issues all of their life may have a totally different perspective than someone who has always been healthy. Someone who has lost a dear one they love to a violent act may have a totally different perspective than someone who has never experienced that kind of tragedy. Someone from a particular religion, heritage, tribe, or culture may have a totally different perspective than those from other religions, heritages, tribes, or cultures.

Two people standing outside together may have totally different perspectives on the weather. While one may feel it’s way too hot, the other may feel it’s way too cold. While some people love sunny days, others may prefer cloudy days. Some people may be morning people and some may be night Owls. Some people may love salty and sweet food, while others may prefer hot and sour food! The list goes on and on and on… The movies people watch, the music they listen to, the political parties they follow, the books and publications they read, the food they eat, the news they listen to, the organizations they join, the people they follow, the schools they attend,  the places they work, the activities they participate in, the causes they work for, all of these things are actually matters of perspective, are they not?

Let’s also not forget that human beings are not the only ones upon this Planet. For instance, there are those who have the perspective that the Earth is a living being and there are others who may have a completely different perspective. Then, let’s not forget the animals. Imagine a Wolf, an Elephant, or a Lion. Imagine living in a pack, a herd, or a pride. How often does anyone think about what their perspective may be? Just asking…

It’s very easy for human beings to get wrapped up in their own perspectives and to forget that theirs is not the only one. It also seems that there indeed may very well be a “Grand Agenda” that was set in motion upon this Planet a very long time ago and within that agenda is the perspective that it’s somehow okay to enslave the all of humanity and to destroy this Planet and all of the life upon her and part of the strategy of that perspective is to continually divide, separate, and conquer; doing everything possible to keep people in the energy of division and separation and in the energy of chaos that comes from being conquered.

The constant propaganda that is continually streamed and pumped through the air waves, the Internet, and the media is endless and often times, those stories that are spewed out into the collective consciousness of the Planet and are said to be so-called news, are actually not news at all. In fact, many of the stories we are told are not even true at all or to say the least, they have lots of holes in them. Some may consider these stories as perhaps being half truths, while others may consider them to be puzzles with lots of missing pieces. Yet, there are also those who simply call them what they will from their own perspective, as being nothing more than Fairy Tales and or distractions.

Although a huge part of what continually keeps feeding into the division, separation, and the conquering is the barrage of propaganda and stories that are continually pumped out through the Media Waves night and day, however let’s not forget the other factors that play into this as well: corporations, wars, poverty, starvation, genocide, extinction, nations, governments, secret societies, religion, politics, political parties, think tanks, organizations, race, skin color, culture, heritage, education, economic circumstances, gender, age, and the list goes on and on and on.

In fact, isn’t it part of the Grand Agenda or the Great Deception, to keep everyone’s focus and attention away from the ball or the task at hand? Isn’t it the ultimate goal to keep everyone upset, angry, fighting, at war, in poverty, starving, thirsty, sick, divided, separated, conquered, blaming one another and pointing the finger at each another?

Isn’t it the nature of the Game, to keep people in the energy of fear and chaos? Why? Because when people are in fear, they create from fear and all that fear then continues to recycle around and around and around, over and over and over again and when people are in fear, they are not in their own balanced personal power, so they are easy to manipulate and control. When people are in fear, they give their power away. So, while in the midst of all that fear, instead of concentrating on everything we have in common, we instead focus on all of our differences and judge one another, which keeps us further divided, separated, and conquered, which is exactly what those who set up this Game want…

Instead of finding all the things that make us “different” from one another and focusing on all those things that separate us and keep us divided and conquered, how about perhaps approaching it all from another angle? How about sitting down and actually communicating with one another and finding out all the things we actually have in common with each other? How about really talking and actually listening and hearing instead of just screaming, shouting, or yelling loudly over one another?

How about finding all the things that we have in common with each other instead of focusing on all of our differences? For instance, we all experience hunger and thirst, right? So, how about talking about our common basic needs? How many people actually think that someone else who lives somewhere else upon this Planet does not have the same basic needs as they do? Do not all of us want to eat when we are hungry or want to drink when we’re thirsty? How many people do you know who would not seek some kind of safe shelter in a bad storm or if it’s really cold outside?

The bottom line is we all have “basic needs” and if those basic needs are not met, those who continually have to struggle on a day to day basis and who don’t ever get their basic needs met are going to have a totally different perspective than those who do not have those same struggles and for those who cannot seem ever to move out of the energy of that constant continual survival mode, it’s exhausting and it takes a huge toll!

What would your life be like if you were to be in a continual struggle just to survive, in a moment to moment basis? How would it feel to have to be in a constant survival mode day after day, day in and day out? What would life feel like from that perspective? Yet, that is exactly what is happening upon this Planet for multitudes of people, for that is exactly what the “system” has been set up to do; to keep people struggling and in fear. It’s all part of the Game. Yet, isn’t it the responsibility of all of humanity to either change the nature of the Game or, stop playing it altogether? Isn’t it up to humanity to shift the energy? When does humanity finally say, “The buck stops here!”?

Humans are often given titles and labels and with those often come very tiny boxes with really tight lids for people to place not only their titles and labels in, they also place all of their so-called “belief systems” and perspectives in those tiny boxes with tight lids as well.

Just imagine all of the labels, titles, belief systems, and perspectives we each hold, bound up very tightly in a tiny little box with a very tight lid. Just how cozy is that, to be snuggled in with all that stuff?

It’s really easy to go through life with blinders on, however by doing that, when we walk around in our tiny boxes with the lids closed so tight, we cannot even see even a glimpse of what life may be like outside of that box; outside of that perspective!

Imagine all of the people who cling so dearly and so tightly to their beloved belief systems and perspectives, that they are actually willing to die for them; even though many of those belief systems and perspectives they are holding so tightly to, may not even actually belong to them! What if many those belief systems and perspectives are not even theirs?

Perhaps a real important question to ask in regards to all of those so-called “belief systems” is… “Whose perspective is this anyway? Who does this perspective actually even belong to? Is it even my perspective in the first place? Or, did I just happen to buy into this particular perspective because it was either what I was taught or what I was told to buy into a long time ago because everyone else I knew happened to buy into it as well? Or, does that belief system; that perspective; actually belong to someone else who just either handed it down to me or handed it over to me? Perhaps, those are questions to ponder…or not.

Humans can continue to find a way to hate each other; to remain divided; to remain separated and conquered and they can also continue to state the stock reply of, “There’s nothing I can do about it anyway.” They can also turn a blind eye and pretend that they cannot see or hear anything else that is going on around them; that are they can only tune into what is going in within their own tiny little box with the tight lid. Yet, please explain to me how doing that serves anyone? How does that help? Desperate people often times do desperate things; things that they normally would not even consider doing should the circumstances be different. Once again, it all goes back to “perspective” now does it not? After all, isn’t everything basically just a matter of perspective?

So, with all of that being said, how about this? How about if we took off the lids on the tiny little boxes and then stepped out the those boxes altogether and instead of looking at all the things that make us different and all those things that separate us, how about finding all those things that we actually have in common with one another? How about working from that place? How about coming from the perspective that things can change and things can be different for all beings on this Planet? How about truly communicating with one another in spite of the fact that we may not necessarily agree or even totally understand all of the different perspectives and the belief systems that exist?

Humans can continue to find a way to hate each other; to remain divided; to remain separated and they can also continue to state how, “There’s nothing I can do about it anyway.” They can also continue to turn a blind eye and lend a deaf ear to situations that they would much rather prefer to pretend that they cannot see or hear at all. After all, that’s much easier, isn’t it?

Isn’t much easier to just simply disregard anything and everything else that is going on around them? Isn’t it much easier to simply just tune into what is going in within their own tiny little box with the tight lid? Yet, please explain to me how doing that serves anyone? How does that help? Desperate people often times do desperate things; things that they normally would not even consider doing should the circumstances be different. Once again, it all goes back to “perspective” now does it not? After all, isn’t everything basically just a matter of perspective?

So, with all of that being said, how about this? How about if we take off the lids on the tiny little boxes and then step out the those boxes altogether and instead of looking at all of the things that make us different and all those things that separate us, how about finding all those things we have in common with one another? How about working from that place? How about coming from the perspective that things can change and things can be better for all beings on this Planet?

The picture of the Sun in the Trees on the top of this page…could also perhaps be a matter of perspective as well. After all, some may look at the picture and see a Sunrise and others may look at the picture and see a Sunset. So, the Sunrise could be one perspective and the Sunset could be another perspective, right?

Yet, in spite of any and all perspectives, there’s also one other important point to ponder and to remember and that would be the Truth…of what it really and actually is, not simply a perspective….

So, let’s just pretend that all of the 7.3 (or so) billion people on this Planet all looked at the picture at the top of this page and they all said with absolutely no doubt in any of their minds that the picture is of a Sunrise.

Then, let’s remain in La La Land for a just a little while longer and continue to pretend that for some odd reason the all of humanity could actually even agree on at least one thing! (Can you even imagine that kind of scenario? Humanity agreeing on one thing? Wow!!!) However, in this case they do! It’s unanimous! All of humanity agrees that the picture is of a Sunrise! They all share the very same perspective!

However, would that very same perspective shared by 7.3 billion people really even matter after they all find out that the picture was actually taken at Sunset? Hmmm…perhaps that’s a really good question! Or not!

The moral of this little story is, there are perspectives and then there is the actual Truth…of what really and actually is…

A stranger gave her.

Have you listened to the lonely Wind
Blow sadly through the Trees?
Or watched the lonesome Tide roll in
From out beyond the Seas?

Have you ever seen lone Seagulls fly
Across the Ocean’s waves?
Or watched the Shadows slowly fall
Upon a dear Friend’s Grave?

Have you ever walked alone in a Storm
And stood in the pouring Rain?
Did the tears that fell from the Sky Above
Hide your tears of pain?

Have you ever sat in the Night and cried
In a room that was empty and cold?
And wished you had someone to love?
Have you ever been alone?
