    Default The Ten Commandments-Native American Version

    Someone posted this on another MB I frequent, and I couldn't find it there with the MB's search engine, but did find the list on Google.

    This version seems based on "thou shalt" instead of "thou shalt not" which, more or less, makes it at least seem more humane, compared with the other version


    Native American Ten Commandments:

    1. The Earth is our Mother, care for her.

    2. Honor all your relations.

    3. Open your heart and soul to the Great Spirit.

    4. All life is sacred; treat all things with respect.

    5. Take from the Earth what is needed and nothing more.

    6. Do what needs to be done for the good of all.

    7. Give constant thanks to the Great Spirit for each new day.

    8. Speak the truth; but only of the good in others.

    9. Follow the rhythms of nature; rise and retire with the sun.

    10. Enjoy life's journey, but leave no tracks.

    thanks for posting that -

    I appreciate the simplistic presentation i.e. based on thou shall as opposed to thou shall NOT...

    Sometimes it IS in all how you say it...eh?

    The one common rule that is present in every religion/following/belief structure, is the basic golden rule, you dont even NEED 10 rules as this one rule fits them all...

    DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.

    Each and every other rule law commandment guideline or stipulation ALL fall under the golden rule -

    Its the only one you'll ever need....


    Peace,

    Never explain yourself to anyone, because the person who likes you doesn't need it and the person that dislikes you won't believe it.

    * The Earth is living being - take care of her and she will take care of you.

    * Open your heart and soul to something greater than yourself without giving up your own personal power.

    * Give constant thanks for each new day. Living in gratitude this is also called ... it helps you keep positive (I know it does for me as it helps me focus on the half full not the half empty glass).

    * Tread lightly on this earth - which basically means try to lessen your impact on the environment esp. in this day and age where we do have environmental problems.
