πŸͺΆ The Pipe Prayer Song — Learning to Walk the Way

  Listen to the NEW Narration and Song about this Prayer :    Moroni's Walk the Way Same Narration and Song a bit softer :         Moroni's Pipe Prayer Song πŸͺΆ The Pipe Prayer Song — Learning to Walk the Way Reflections on a sacred teaching shared by Cloudpiler Many of you may not know who   Cloudpiler   is. He is one of the original translators of the   Ayahtkuhyaht Nemenhah —often called the Nemenhah Records—a work translated by a small group around 2004–2005 that I’ve studied for years. Whatever someone thinks of the record itself… there are moments in it that carry real beauty. This was one of those for me. Cloudpiler recently shared something called   The Pipe Prayer Song of Mohrhohnayah —an ancient prayer pattern from the record tied to covenant, prayer, gratitude, and walking what they call   the Way. And as I sat with it… I didn’t hear ritual. I heard remembrance. I heard the soul gathering itself before God. And h...

Did Jesus Take Our Punishment—or Show Us the Way Home?

Did Jesus Take Our Punishment—or Show Us the Way Home? The Nemenhah Sacred Records, the Scapegoat, Personal Accountability, and the deeper meaning of At-one-ment There is a question I have been wrestling with lately. It is a big one. What exactly did Jesus Christ save us from—and what did His sacrifice make possible? Like many Christians, I grew up hearing words such as: Atonement. Sin. Sacrifice. Forgiveness. Savior. Repentance. I still believe deeply in Jesus Christ as my Savior. But as I have studied the Nemenhah Sacred Records, particularly the Tuhhuhl Nuhmehn , I have begun wondering whether I understood the word Atonement as completely as I thought I did. Maybe Christ's sacrifice is even bigger than simply: “I sinned. He took my punishment. Now my debt is paid.” Maybe He didn't come merely to change our account in heaven. Maybe He came to change us. The Scapegoat Question A recent discussion among some dear friends brought this right to the surface. ...

πŸͺΆ The Four Ages of the Soul — What Tohohyayloh Taught Me

  πŸͺΆ The Four Ages of the Soul A Story About Growing Up, Growing Wise, and Coming Home A quick word before I share this. Some of you may not know who   Phillip “Cloudpiler” Landis   is. Cloudpiler was one of the principal translators associated with the   Nemenhah sacred records , first published in the early 2000s through a five-member translation council. This story— The Legend of Tohohyayloh Ahkehkt —comes from a vision or “medicine dream” attributed to him. Don’t let unfamiliar names throw you. You don’t have to know Native terms to feel what this story is saying. At heart, it is simple. It is a story about growing up. About how life teaches us in stages. As children we act before understanding. As youth we rush without reflection. As adults we begin seeking counsel. And as elders we finally learn surrender and Spirit. That’s what moved me. This isn’t really a story about eagles, mice, buffalo, and wolves. It’s a story about us. About the four ages of the soul. A...

πŸ•Š️ The Pillar of Consecration — Learning to Create Good in the Universe

  πŸ•Š️ The Pillar of Consecration — Learning to Create Good in the Universe   “The Pillar of Consecration teaches us to examine the effects of our actions and consciously create good in the universe.” There is a difference between having experiences and becoming a different person because of them. That may be one of the deepest truths hidden inside the Pillar of Consecration. Most of us were raised in Babylon’s rhythm: have fast, consume quickly, react emotionally, collect experiences, survive the week, repeat. But the Nemenhah teaching on consecration slows everything down. It asks: What effect did my actions produce? Did my choices create peace or burden? Did my words strengthen or wound? What good have I actually brought into the world? Can what I have created be consecrated? That is a very different way to live. 🌱 Consecration Is More Than Giving Away Possessions Most people hear the word consecration and think: “giving surplus to the poor.” That is only the outer layer....
