  • In 1957 my mother told me the Gulf Stream was going to change. She said that she would not be here to see this change, but that I would. So for me to hear Oren Lyons talk here, is reminiscent of the wisdom my mother imparted, in one of the moments I actually cherish of my mother.
  • This man has a depth of wisdom and authenticity that pours out through his words. I'm grateful for his teaching and this video.

    Thank you for putting this video up. Words do not describe the screaming and pain my spirit feels due to the missed chances we had to unite all the people. May all those who hear this message truly understand it, and prepare as best you can. Peace, love and light to all.

    These kinds of videos need to be played in a learning environment. Teach the children. Have the wisdom keepers as special guests. Speak to the children of the future.

    The Native Americans are worthy of Honor because they are standing up for mother earth and protecting her. Mother earth provides us just about everything we need to survive and be happy. More power to you my Native American brothers and sisters.

    If each household attracted peace, love and kindness among its members, there would be peace. Love your children, be kind to them and teach them to be kind.
  • I really enjoyed listening to this elder talk about the one that brought direction to man on earth. My imagination was going into drive as I pictured how that must of looked a 1000 years ago. He talked about every living creature as having their own important society within the great scheme of things. It was fascinating. I will never look at a sweetcorn as just a vegetable again, but a life force with greatness. Thank you!
