Guest guest Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 A few weeks ago, I posted a question to another group requesting 'stone people stories' as there was some discussion going on about 'the standing ones 'a commonly used phrase in the Native American culture for the trees. I was curious about peoples stories about 'the stone people " . The answers were interesting and exciting, each having a significant lesson or reminder for me. I've been intending to post to this group and just hadn't gotten to it, but as the discussion today is focused on this I will do so now. It is interesting to note that in the NA culture there is no word for 'religion'. There is considered no separateness as in Mitakuye Oyasin meaning 'All My Relations' which includes mankind, the four-leggeds, the winged ones, the creepy crawlies, the standing ones and the stone people. there are many names for the Omnipresent force that unites creation including God, Creator, the All Knowing and many more. If any one can add to this please do. Enjoy!

I gifted the crystal to a woman I felt needed it as she has a hard time real-eyesing her medicine, she had to have surgery in a few days and I told her to keep the crystal nearby, she had a very difficult surgery and the doctors actualy came out and said " if you have anyone in your family who prays...pray now " ...I learned about this the day after from her mother, and I asked her how the weather was during the operation, after a few moments of thought she said " there was a huge thunderstorm that came thru the area during the operation " ...I never question spirit when it comes to compelling me to do things I need to do when it asks, and it wasnt me who put the storm in the crystal nor was it the storm that saved her life... just the four letter word we sometimes miss in our original instructions...L-O-V-E.

My first profound stone entity experience came when I was in a metaphysical book store and picked up a quartz cluster that would not let me put it own. I debated over the idea of taking it home, until guidance told me to put it over my head. At that instant a column of light wider than my body came through me and I have never been the same. When I don't understand the message that a particular one is sharing I ask for a dream and low and behold, it happens. They are so wise and so insistent when they have something to share. The aspect of having a memory of all of Earth's history intrigues me. I was just in a consignment store where I espied a large coral cluster that got my attention. My first thought was 'where can I display it with honor?' then realized that it didn't matter, I could gift it to someone if need. The checkout lady laughed and said the piece had only be out for ten minutes and we both > laughed. It instantly found a beautiful place to rest and I happy that intuition led me into the little store. Coral is considered a fossil and connection with the Ancestors, so I will need to dwell on that until I understand the connection. > > Stomping Elk story about their importance in Medicine Lodge reminds me of a time that we counted the elders (stones) many, many times before lighting the fire trying to make sure that we had the correct count. We knew that coyote had been hanging around and wondered when he would show up. We all had a good laugh when there was one extra stone in the mound and dedicated it to coyote and thanked him for his playfulness. > > There is a line in Barry Lopez book Crow and Weasel that says 'it is our stories that keep up alive'. I truly believe that and always feel a sense of awe and joy when the words that make up the story come alive and touch in me the sacred. > > Blessings to all for sharing! And deepest gratitude the Stone People for sharing their wisdom. And to all of creation and Creator for supporting us. Mahalo. .

They were Stone People and they all had the appearance of Merlin's with their pointed hats and gowns and staffs in their hands. I would just sit there amongst them listening to the murmur of them talking, and in my minds eye I knew them to be from another dimension, a dimension in which they were from the council of Merlin's... > > _______ > > When I was sent here (where I live now) to weep for the Mountain, right after the Stone People laughed and told me that I left my memories in a man, I was asking for directions on where I was supposed to go to plead my case and weep for the Mountain. A little bird flew up and said 'follow me' So not looking where I was going I followed that little bird to the edge of the Mountain and then I was taken sideways across the Mountain until I found myself sitting on a stone on the side of the Mountain. I began my prayer, began weeping my tears for the Mountain, for the sacredness of the Indian walk, for the ones who remember that this a Holy Mountain, a Place of Peace where all the tribes used to come to for Ceremony because something would happen to them when they were here (that I believe is called sanctification) > > In the midst of my tears, in the midst of my supplication, I became aware of an ommmmm noise. And the more I prayed and wept the louder this Ommmmmmm became until it completely drowned out the sound of my prayer and I felt like one little tiny voice amongst the great Ommmmmmmmm. So when I finished my prayer I turned around to see who had come to pray with me as I wept in my tears for the Mountain and for all the Tribes of people who no longer remember to come to her for the gift she bestows upon them when they come to the Place of Peace, I turn and find that I am sitting right in midst of a great Stone Amphitheater, so many there praying with me, Grandfathers and Grandmothers, mothers and father, aunts and uncles and little children, all with their faces pointed out on the edge of world. > > .... so I just curtsied and thanked them for joining me in my prayer... It was really beautiful seeing them there like that and listening to them that way.. > > I hope I come across that book and it calls out to me to get it, > Maureen > and in the end we'll all be dancing... > - > Skye Coe > DiosasAncianos2012 > Wednesday, September 26, 2007 1:45 PM > Re: [DiosasAncianos2012] Stone People .. not my teachings but my belief. > > > Aloha Maureen. . .Beautiful and appreciated, memory being an an aspect I had not considered. I think of them as wise teachers and have been told that they are entities who have finished there work on Earth and return only with love and not judgment. I once had the experience of sitting in a group meditation where large crystals circled a 'grid' where flickering candles caused the stones to appear like a circle of elders. For the first 45 minutes of the meditation a voice kept repeating itself. . 'We are not separate from you, we are the same as you. . here to be of service " . No matter what I did this same mantra repeated over and over. The format of our meditation that a bell was tapped at the 45 minute mark. At that point the message changed to " Be human, be happy, have fun, " . I still laugh when I think of how it took such a profound experience to get my attention and remind me that I needed to begin to play and laugh more often. Yes, it's a good day to > play, today! I work with many who have had some beautiful what I call DNA shift experiences when the Stone People have gotten their attention in unusual ways. A book by Twyla Nitsch and Jamie Sams called " Other Council Fires Were Here Before Ours " came to me some time later sharing with me how deeply these stone teachings can affect us. Again, Mahalos for sharing. Mitakuye Oyasin from the heart.

I had that happen a few years ago when I was sent to Sacred Mountain to weep for her. Spent the whole week climbing the mountain asking the trees and stones if the knew where I left my memories from when I had lived here before.. and after a week I found myself up on top of the Mountain, in the place of the great Stone > Amphitheater explaining how I knew myself to be a spunky person, in any life I would have thought I have to leave my memories somewhere so that after the great sleep, when I come back to help restore her I will be able to find them again... so I was telling them this, laying my body across them in contemplation over where I left my memories, knowing a spunky girl would do this, when they said with a smile and a laugh, " You left your memories inside of a man. " Then they showed me pictures of the time when we knew it was time to leave the Mountain, the group who came to keep our memories through the time of the great sleep were known as the Phoenix Rising.. > > After that I always thought the Stone People were remembering me from that life..... and that the do remember us, even as we walk through time. > > Maureen > and in the end we'll all be dancing... > - > Marty Cline > DiosasAncianos2012 > Tuesday, September 25, 2007 10:07 AM > [DiosasAncianos2012] Stone People .. not my teachings but my belief. > > > The trees are great teachers.
