The Puma, Jaguar & Black Panther

[Daniel]

Panther: At the begining nothing is known, at the end little is known, through the duration we adopt forms of known lightly and tred through the dream-weave making temporary ripples of knowingness as nothing is perminent and we can hold on to nothing in the face of eternity.

All we can do is mask the known, we can't do anything about the unknown other than witness it and move accordingly to its new alignment.

Enter the field...

[Daniel]

What the Puma taught me:



Green paw...

Circumstance: Condition of path

Actor: Treader of path

If you didn't get that job you really wanted, it affects the circumstance - that actual treader should not allow so much dis-heartedness as the actor in essence is still intact.

If the women you loved with all your heart refused to be your mate it strikes hard. Yet still this is path stuff, the actor's essence is still intouched and treads are placed thereafter.

The path is variable, it is unpredictable & inconsistent. There is no deceit in the nature of the path, you can't place blame on fate or God.

Is there something you haven't currently got, some configuration of circumstance that is required to verify completion? The self-presence of the treader is still as always a continual movement of completeness. One selects continuation with impeccability regardless of the conditions of circumstance.

[Daniel]

'Being me' is the known and usually a make up of a collection of lets say, items. When we let go of those items, we look the Black Panther in the eyes and may eneter a little more into the unknown.



What people *do* in life mainly is re-arrange or re-create reasons to uphold those items.

All we can do is mask the known, we can't do anything about the unknown other than witness it and move accordingly to its new alignment.

Words are only valid in mapping out temporary contours of the knowable field.

The Puma in this Medicine Wheel is the main Central Totem that is above the White Deer. The structer of this forum is that the Puma is the Leader or director of what is held here and is teaching, protecting or directing the Circle of the White Deer.

The Jaguar is the entire collective body.



May I add, these forms are adopted as symbols, and each has a specific Medicine in that movement of awareness.

   The dream-weave is a name for the collective body of the world, as in everyones dream is interwoven. Even though we are each separate dreamers, we each release layers of our dreams into the world.
It is easy to see this perhaps in using an example of a film-maker. A film maker and all those involved in creating that dream have interwoven their abilities, or medicines, to form a collective dream known as a film or movie.
Observing the world, watching a film, reading a book, observing a street scene as we walk, or observing work as and when we are there allows us to perceive stands of this alive dream-weave as and when it happens. Someone who has spider as one of their personal medicines can easily perceive this and knows or learns to know about how the energy of the dream is woven. Looking at scenes we are actively involved in allows us to become familiar with our witnessing state. Just like watching a film at the cinema or in our front rooms we are able to take a step back from the activity and just watch.
When we look at stories about our history we are allowing our attention to move over the strands of activity that have taken place through the lifetimes of people who have come before us. We who have a life-force now are the current possessors of the energy that weaves the dream-weave. This energy is called awareness. When we are no longer alive, the way we have threaded our strands of awareness through life can not be undone, they are there, yet the glow of presence has passed through them.

It is that what I call as will is the needle, and the thread used is awareness.

It is not really important if we thing our own life is better or worse than someone else's, that comes from comparing and comparing alone creates that better/ worse blade that cuts the value of our own thread away from us deluding us to think we are of no worth, or greater worth than others. Looking at it in a simple way allows us to appreciate all beings and see that each human is a carrier of the thread of awareness. We weave our own story. All has a worth, yet it is our own decisions that take that thread to move through and to move how we direct it to.

In my current view, each human has a potential of qualities that lay in our nature, and that nature is within the glow of our awareness. This glowing awareness glows because we are preset, because we are now. We have 9 potential qualities that are inherent to our nature. Our way, our path in life is never completely to do with anyone else, but it often is partly. Taking the realisation on that we are this glow and that we contain these qualities, we pay some attention to ourselves to cultivate the qualities or abilities and thus thread our dream through the dream-weave according to our moments. These qualities or abilities are known as medicines. They are medicines because they are what we have, what are, what we have to offer. When developed, these medicines bring forth our awareness into the outer world to reach a connectivity with the collective body.

We are not in a competition, we are growing, realising, releasing layers and choosing through our moments. For me we stand alone as that without a need to be graded according to success.

It is often the case that people dont want to discuss deeper things. This is not because they cant grasp it, because they can explore the deeper layers of awareness. It is more that people dont want to. They are happy with the outer layers, which is fine - I have no objection.

But what we select to invest our attention into makes all the difference of not only where we move to, but what we ourselves manifest from our own glow of awareness.
