ABOUT THUNDERHANDS



About Me: "Wakiya" (Thunder)
I am a Tribal, Musician, Writer, Artist. I try to walk the path and have studied the tradition of the "Wisdom keepers" like Lame Deer, Fools Crow, Black Elk, and Rolling Thunder from the tribes of this region, and Lao Tzu, Buddha, Bodhidharma, Yeshua, and other enlightened ones from the many various tribes of the earth. I understand the worlds religions and belief systems, and realize the division this can cause by the lack of understanding the "real message" from the Masters. My intention, and life's prayer is to try to live in harmony with Grandmother Earth, Grandfather sky, (Nature) and "the spirit that moves in all things," and help in any way I can to build a bridge between all men and tribes so they can walk their path in a manner that will benefit themselves, the Earth and others. I open up, and ask Great Spirit, The creator, The Tao, The Universe, to work and direct healing and positive energy through me by different means, like the Flute, drums, Words, Prayer, and Touch. I try to be loving and accept others from the heart, and practice forgiveness. I honor all people, the winged one's, and four legged ones considering us all equal, not one being above another. I honor the bountiful Harvest from Mother earth in the form of plant life, water, air and herbs which sustain our oneness with her. I pray all tribes should re-unite as one, so we may protect the planet and live in harmony. Within you, without you.

Holman Hunts famous painting "The Light of the World"

"click on photo to enlarge."
Jesus, crowned with thorns and carrying a lantern, stands outside at night, knocking on a closed door that is covered with weeds. Holman Hunt's famous painting is full of symbolism. "Listen! I am standing and knocking at your door. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will eat together."
There is a saying "The incarnate lord is the host of the one you can't see. You cannot move the palm of your hand without moving the back of your hand at the same time."
We have to choose to open the door to the light or enlightenment. No matter what your beliefs, Christian, Buddhist, Spiritual Seeker, or believer in Great Spirit. This picture is stirring and stands as a metaphor for allowing ourselves to open up the door so that we may realize our own divinity and oneness with spirit. Remember, Qoute: "the handle of the door to you is on your side."
Jesus often spoke of the light that shines within, and the kingdom that is within. Other great masters were of the same spirit. Buddha means "Awakened Mind." When the student is ready the master appears. What form the master takes and when could be a surprise, just be ready. Being ready means ridding yourself of preconceived notions and dogma. Clearing the mind (mushin) or having a child's mind is like Clearing the weeds and opening the door for spirit to activate your light.
