A little About the 4 Worlds

Kia Ora brother, I'm a Maori from New Zealand , ngati pukenga tribe. In the top part of the north island. I found this very awesome as We were also taught about how we humans have always existed in spirit form. Also that the spirit comes through the top of the head when you are born and your not completely here until the top of your head full becomes bone. Touching a baby that did not belong to you was a very bad thing to do as your energy can effect the child. This was enough reason to cause war and has done. Thanks for reading

I could literally sit here for hrs listening to him and his experiences 💚

YES, Hesaid the YELLOW SUN. I am not the only one who remembers that the sun used to be soft yellow! Now it is a much brighter white.

Love our elders, honor our ancestors, listen to our creators teaching. .thank you for your wisdom. .

Long ago I heard an interview with a Australian aboriginal elder discussing his efforts to share the old wisdom with the youngsters who came back from the cities seeking to learn their heritage. He discussed how it was not possible to fully impart the ancient wisdom to those who had not been fully raised in the old ways. His closing statement still haunts me. "When I am gone 30 thousand years of our history will be gone"

Yes I too remember the Sun 🌞 being yellow. I was born in the Caribbean in the 70's and I can tell you that I spent most of my childhood in that yellow sun, today you can't even be outside for more than 20mins before it starts to burn you. The Sun today is white in the light that emits.

So much of what he says correlates also to what my native German, Celtic, and Iberian tribes had before the Church converted us and before that the Romans had conquered and "civilized" us. We knew water was conscious, knowing instinctively that every body of water has either a spirit or, in some cases, even a Goddess. The water was seen as a portal into the Otherworld and when we made sacrifices, i.e. our relationship with the deities was understood as a reciprocal exchange, so "sacrifice" could be with anything, it was often things we would sacrifice in rivers such as breaking a sword or something beloved to us. Water had an important role in both Germanic and Celtic cosmology, including our "creation" myths.

They should teach this at school.this men is a real teacher,people don’t know this anymore.

I really love the end when he talked about how much the women held all the assets of the family and how empowered she is to be in that position within the family. Great way to keep the men from going astray!

These lessons are wonderful. Please, whoever recorded these send them to the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington so this knowledge is not lost forever!

So interesting to hear him speak with all of his experience & wisdom. His family is very fortunate to have such a man in their circle.

I was a young, mad, lost soul when I was young! My parents were teenage parents who liked life in the fast lane!!! I moved out at 16 and never looked back! My grandma helped me out a lot and I was able to finish my education! That being said, I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. I try to learn from them but it's not always easy!!! I find solace in your teaching wise elder 🙏🏼! Much love and harmony always!!! Thank you so much ❤🙏🏼

Interesting how the location of the spiral on the head is also the place on the head many cultures cover, shave, etc, for spiritual purposes.

He reminds me of my grandfather. I could listen to him talk for hours. Thank you for your teaching and wisdom.

My great grandmother was Cherokee and she thought my father to never punish with his hands and to use a switch from a tree.. this man's wisdom has not fallen on deaf ears

I am so honored that I can listen to the traditional teaching in English and interpreting the Navajo language, I went to the boarding school where were told not to speak our native language, go to Christian Sunday school and got our hair cut short. I also learned independence, and do what you can to survived the boarding school life. Thank you so much for helping me to understand Navajo language, tradition, culture, and taboo.

I like listening to your teachings. In my family, my grandfather taught me a lot. He is gone now. But his teachings live on. He taught me how to hunt, he always said you dont kill animsls in less you intend to use it as food. Things like that. He taught me how to live off the land. Grandma and mom taught me to cook. I started at age nine. I always Cooke for 4 or more people.

Why would people thumb down this? Let me guess other religions... not liking it. So rediculous. I myself absolutely love learning anything and everything about indigenous people and their beautiful beliefs about our world and universe and spirit!

listening to him tell this story feels the same as my grandparents telling me stories in their old age. the slow speech, soft voice, and the obvious fount of knowledge that can be gained from just listening to their stories.

I wished we could live in a world where the Navajo teachings would be the way of life
