THE SELF AND THE SELF ALONE

War bonnettWe cannot find peace of mind from some outer source. What we see and hear and feel may help at times, but these things are temporary. The lasting help comes from an inner source. This source is the Life of life.

When we have problems, whatever we turn to, whether it be philosophy or psychology or something else, sooner or later we learn we must draw on our own inner resources to solve life’s dilemmas. It is the self and the self alone that must handle living.

Some fear that if they allow themselves to go deeper, they will lose their freedom. But some of the most threatening and feared circumstances bring the truest answers. Prosperity, good health, companionship all lie before us, and we must develop our faith to step out and claim them.


From the book, A Cherokee Feast of Days, written by Joyce Sequiche Hifler. The author is a Native American. Her book contains her daily meditations and at the end of each page there is quotation from eloquent Native chieftains and notable figures of all tribes such as Chief Seattle, Black Hawk, Santana, Tecumseh and many others.
