Re: Elite Family Insider Returns for Q&A
I did notice something else that stuck out on your palms. Your left palm says you weren't close to whoever raised you, but your right palm says others. Usually one palm is the recessive palm and shows our genetics or 'what the gods gave you'. The other palm - the dominate hand - is the 'public' you - or what you DID w/ 'what the gods gave you'.

I don't recall seeing someone w/ such a difference b/t palms in terms of relationship w/ who raised you. So tell me about it, cause I wanna know for if I see this again.

Haha, not at all actually. I'm a meteorologist and reporter who works in television. I have degrees in broadcast news and meteorology, and have been told I am gifted in writing and public speaking, and have a distinct broadcast voice.

In fact, here's me: [link to www.youtube.com]

Thanks for taking the time to read my palms!


Are you in the healthcare or healing industry? If not, you seriously should be. See those vertical lines under your pinky (Mercury) finger? That's called the 'medical stigmata'.

Some literature on this mark - "MEDICAL STIGMATA There is a pattern often found on the hands of medical people which is called the medical stigmata. It is a small patch of vertical lines beneath the little finger. People with this marking are drawn to medical or social work. It is very common on the hands of nurses yet less common on the hands of doctors. This is interesting because it shows that some doctors choose their career path for money and prestige where as it tends to show that nurses are more emotionally involved in this choose of career. A hand with the medical stigmata and many fine lines will turn towards social work. People who work in the natural therapies area also have this mark."

My palms. Chris, can you look an analyze please?

Re: Elite Family Insider Returns for Q&A
Chris, this is me- figured I'd join, since I will be bugging you, lol. I kid, I kid.

On a more serious note. I got a feeling you DID see more than you said in regards to my "reading". I could be wrong, but here's why.

My wife and I went to a palm reader with a few friends. Their idea of a "fun" time. I planned to please my wife by going but not participate. We go in and it's "all eyes on me" type of thing. My wife and her 2 friends get a reading. Oddly enough these women only did private readings. I don't know if that is the norm or what. I felt extremely uncomfortable. The feeling you get when you know you are the subject of discussion but the discussion is in another language. Pretty sure they we're the real deal, meaning gypsies. I lived in Athens and encountered gypsies during a yearly festival during my time there.

Anywho... as we are leaving one of the women stopped me physically by grabbing my arm. I'm not a small guy, but this woman had hell of a grip pretty much giving me no choice but to stop. This particular woman was NOT giving readings while we where there, but only said "you, free, sit, sit". I still refused after much back and forth. She said something I didn't understand and one of the others said she said "you will come back".

It's always bugged me, I couldn't tell if it was good or bad. But they all seemed very interested in me for some reason. Just really strange. I do not think I am special or anything- I do realize I have been blessed with a great life, but seems I am missing something. Probably right in front of my nose, lol.

If you weren't being vague on purpose, I apologize. But if you did see something else, I would appreciate it.

Or should I just "man-up" and go back? lol

Hmmm... so I'm a minimum effort maximum gain type of guy? I mean that in a bad way, lol. Always have been. You're dead on, I won't try to deny that. So it wouldn't surprise you that I had several scholarships to play D1 football? Or that I was a kickboxing champion at 19? or a plethora of other successes, but walked away from all of them without seeing it through?

I am very successful in my career(LUCKY), but really do not give a shit about it.

I do have a "higher" calling, always have... but it "scares" me to pursue it.

Also there's the fact that I am dying.

Thank you for the response.

Your life line is chained and weak. You're not living your life to its fullest at ALL. I know this applies to everyone, but especially you.

anything interesting in that there palm?

or just boring stuff?

Okay, so like I guessed.

You are number 2, and Prince William will be Dr. Evil.. all depending upon if you're cast as the starring roles- because you did mention all of this is just based on candidacy.


Thanks. I don't know if I have any more questions at this time.

You should check out the films I mentioned, The Librarian Quest for the Spear, and The Hunt for Gollum. I'm curious to know what you think..

Also, Operation Endgame is a comedy that is out, I've noticed a lot of comedies have the most substantially truthful oneliners ever. It has Zach Galifianakis in it, so it's a given laugh.

yes I did..!

lets see.. she said that (not exact words.. havent had my vat of coffee yet)

1. I give too much of myself/love/energy but I get nothing back.. i am a very giving person, but it is draining my energy because (im not getting energy back in returnmaybe?)

2. no relationship w/my father early on.. caused a lot of emotional damage- hence the blocking of the 1st part of my life (i guess??) the spirits dont think it's time/or Im not ready .. something along those lines..

3. good husband, good kids

4. wont work for anyone else again/possibly own business

5. back and belly problems (both were not happening at the time however she DID NOT say ANYTHING about my HUGE fluid filled knee.. I think I have knee bursitis (sp?)..getting MRI soon)

6. my soul is sad/hurting..im an empty vessle ready for guidance... I just need to ask/pray for it

I want Christophers opinion b/c I know he's not going to give the run-of-the-mill reading.. I have so many squares, triangles forks branches, etc.. I want the "real deal" just him pointing out the eye thing.. that was INTERESTING and completely different..and thats what I want to know.

**do palm readers usually tell you to go out and buy a bible? to read psalms and john? she did.. she was adamant (sp) about it..

Re: Elite Family Insider Returns for Q&A
I grew up with both of my parents, who are still together. They did a fantastic job raising me and my sister. I was close to them then, still close to them now. We talk several times a week. I never caused any trouble, they provided many opportunities for us.

They always pushed me to be myself and to do whatever I chose to do in life.

Is it going to be tough for me to pursue a weather/news career any further?

I did notice something else that stuck out on your palms. Your left palm says you weren't close to whoever raised you, but your right palm says others.

Re: Elite Family Insider Returns for Q&A
This may help some of you survive the Darkness. . .

The Art of War
1. War is the last resort in disagreements. A just nation or person must never strike first. As the sun will rise tomorrow, evil will seek to destroy what is good. Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War” is a simple, basic guide for warfare. The following is critical advice from “The Art of War”.

2. “The art of war is governed by five constant factors: moral law, heaven, earth, the commander, method and discipline. Moral law causes people to be in complete accord with their ruler, so they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger. Heaven signifies night and day, cold and heat, times and seasons. Earth comprises distances, great and small, danger and security, open ground and narrow passes, the chances of life and . The commander stands for the virtues of wisdom, sincerity, benevolence, courage, and strictness. Method and discipline is marshalling the army into proper subdivisions, graduations of rank among officers, maintenance of roads so supplies reach the army, and control of military spending.”

3. “With seven factors I can forecast victory or defeat. Which of the two sovereigns possess the moral law? Which of the two generals has the most ability? With whom lie the advantages of heaven and earth? On which side is discipline most rigorously enforced? Which army is stronger? On which side are officers and men more highly trained? In which army is there greater consistency in reward and punishment?”

4. “All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, seem unable. When using forces, we must seem inactive. When we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far.”

5. “There is no instance of a country benefiting from prolonged warfare.”

6. “In war let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns.”

7. “The captured soldiers should be kindly treated and kept.” Kindly treating prisoners of war destroys the evil image enemy propaganda paints.

8. “In the practical art of war, the best thing is taking the enemy’s country whole and intact, not to shatter and destroy it. It is better to capture an army than to destroy it, to capture a regiment, a detachment, a company than to destroy it. Hence, to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme intelligence; supreme intelligence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.” In Operation Desert Storm, American planes heavily ed the Iraqis, took aerial photos of the destruction, and dropped copies of the pictures on the enemy. Many Iraqi soldiers surrendered when what they were up against became clear. This psychological tactic saved many lives.

9. “It is the rule of war: if our forces are ten to the enemy’s one, to surround him; if five to one, to attack him; if twice as numerous, to divide our army into two; if equally matched, we can offer battle; if slightly inferiors in numbers, we can avoid the enemy; if quite unequal in every way, we can flee from him.”

10. “There are three ways a ruler can bring misfortune upon his army. By commanding the army to advance or retreat, being ignorant of the fact that it cannot obey, this is called hobbling the army. By attempting to govern an army the same way he administers a kingdom, being ignorant of the conditions in an army, this causes restlessness in the soldier’s mind. By employing the officers of his army without discrimination, through ignorance of the military principal of adaptation to circumstances, this shakes the confidence of the soldiers.” made many mistakes listed. He staged a lengthy war, ruled his army like his country, d prisoners, and caused destruction. This resulted in Germany’s social, economic, political, historical, and intellectual ruin.

11. “Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted.” Germany drove deep into Russia, reaching Stalingrad, but crossing the massive area took its toll on German troops, who would lose over three hundred thousand men in the Battle of Stalingrad.

12. “We can form a single united body, while the enemy must split into factions. Hence there will be a whole pitted against separate parts of a whole, making us many to the enemy’s few.”

13. “Rouse him, and learn the principals of his activity or inactivity. Force him to reveal himself, so as to find his vulnerable spots.”

14. “Military tactics are like water; for water in its natural course runs away from high places and hastens downwards. So in war the way is to avoid what is strong and strike at what is weak.”

15. “We are not fit to lead an army on the march unless we are familiar with the face of the country – its mountains and forests, its pitfalls and precipices, its marshes and swamps. We shall be unable to use the environment as an advantage unless we make use of local guides.”

16. “Now a soldier’s spirit is keenest in the morning; by noonday it has begun to flag; and in the evening his mind is bent only on returning to camp. A clever general avoids an army when its spirit is keen, but attacks it when it is sluggish and inclined to return. This is the art of studying moods.”

17. “It is a military axiom not to advance uphill against the enemy, nor to oppose him when he comes downhill.”

18. “Do not swallow bait offered by the enemy. Do not interfere with an army that is returning home.”

19. “When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.”

20. “There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: recklessness, which leads to destruction; cowardice, which leads to capture; a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults; a delicacy of honor, which is sensitive to shame; over concern for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.”

21. “Camp in high places, facing the sun. Do not climb heights in order to fight.”

22. “After crossing a river, get far away from it. When an invading force marches across a river, do not advance to meet it in mid-stream. It will be best to let half the army cross, and then deliver your attack.”

23. “If forced to fight in a salt marsh, you should have water and grass near you, and get your back to a clump of trees. In dry, level country, take up an easily accessible position with rising ground to your right and rear so the danger may be in front and safety lie behind. If you are careful of your men and camp on hard ground, the army will be free from disease of every kind, and this will spell victory.”

24. “If his place of encampment is of easy access, he is tendering a bait.”

25. “The rising of birds in their flight is the sign of an ambush. Startled beasts indicate a sudden attack is coming.”

26. “When some are seen advancing and some retreating, it is a lure. If those who are sent to draw water begin by drinking themselves, the army is suffering from thirst. If birds gather on any spot, it is unoccupied. Clamor by night betokens nervousness.”

27. “We may distinguish six kinds of terrain: accessible ground, entangling ground, temporizing ground, narrow passes, precipitous heights, and positions at a great distance from the enemy.”

28. “Ground which can be freely traversed by both sides is called accessible. With regard to this ground, be before the enemy in occupying sunny spots, and carefully guard your line of supplies.”

29. “Ground which can be abandoned but is hard to reoccupy is called entangling. For this ground if the enemy is unprepared you may go forth and defeat him. But if the enemy is prepared for your coming, and you fail to defeat him, then, return being impossible, disaster will ensue.”

30. “When the position is such that neither side will gain by making the first move, it is called temporizing ground. In this position even though the enemy should offer us an attractive bait, it will be advisable not to stir forth, but rather to retreat, thus enticing the enemy in his turn; then, when part of his army has come out, we may deliver our attack with advantage.”

31. “With regard to narrow passes, if you can occupy them first, let them be strongly garrisoned and await the advent of the enemy.”

32. “With regard to precipitous heights, if you are beforehand with your adversary, you should occupy the raised and sunny spots, and there wait for him to come up. If the enemy has occupied them before you, do not follow him, but retreat and try to entice him away.”

33. “If you are situated at a great distance from the enemy, and the strength of the two armies is equal, it is not easy to provoke a battle, and fighting will be to your disadvantage.”

34. “An army is exposed to six calamities, not arising from natural causes, but from faults for which the general is responsible. These are flight, insubordination, collapse, ruin, disorganization, and rout.”

35. “When the common soldiers are too strong and their officers too weak, the result is insubordination. When the officers are too strong and the common soldiers too weak, the result is collapse. When the higher officers are angry and insubordinate and the enemy gives battle, before the commander-in-chief can determine if he is in a position to fight, the result is ruin. When the general is weak and without authority; when his orders are not clear and distinct; when there are no fixed duties assigned to officers and men; and the ranks are formed in a slovenly manner, the result is utter disorganization. When a general is unable to estimate the enemy’s strength, allows an inferior force to engage a larger one, or hurls a weak detachment against a powerful one and neglects to place picked soldiers in the front rank, the result is rout.”

36. “The art of war recognizes nine varieties of ground: dispersive ground, facile ground, contentious ground, open ground, ground of intersecting highways, serious ground, difficult ground, hemmed-in ground, and desperate ground.”

37. “When a chieftain is fighting in his own territory, it is dispersive ground. On dispersive ground I would inspire my men with unity of purpose.”

38. “When he has penetrated into hostile territory, but to no great distance, it is facile ground. On facile ground halt not, and see that there is close connection between all parts of the army.”

39. “Ground the possession of which imports great advantage to either side, is contentious ground. On this ground attack not and hurry up the rear.”

40. “Ground on which each side has liberty of movement is open ground. On this ground do not try to block the enemy’s way, and keep a vigilant eye on defenses.”

41. “Ground which forms the key to three contiguous states, so that he who occupies it first has most of the empire at his command, is a ground of intersecting highways. On this ground I would consolidate my alliances.”

42. “When an army has penetrated into the heart of a hostile country, leaving a number of fortified cities in its rear, it is serious ground. On this ground gather plunder, and ensure a continuous stream of supplies.”

43. “Mountain forests, rugged steeps, marshes, and fens – all country that is hard to traverse: this is difficult ground. On this ground keep steady to the march and keep pushing along the road.”

44. “Ground which is reached through narrow gorges, and from which we can only retire by tortuous paths, so that a small number of the enemy would suffice to crush a large body of our men: this is hemmed in ground. On this ground resort to strategy, and block any way of retreat.”

45. “Ground on which we can only be saved from destruction by fighting without delay, is desperate ground. On this ground fight and proclaim to your soldiers the hopelessness of saving their lives. For it is the soldier’s disposition to offer an obstinate resistance when surrounded, to fight hard when he cannot help himself, and to obey promptly when he has fallen into danger.”

46. “Skillful leaders know how to drive a wedge between the enemy’s front and rear; to prevent cooperation between his large and small divisions; to hinder the good troops from rescuing the bad; the officers from rallying their men.”

47. “There are five ways of attacking with fire: to burn soldiers in their camp, to burn stores, to burn supply trains, to burn arsenals, and to hurl dropping fire against the enemy. The materials for raising fire should always be kept in readiness. In attacking with fire, be ready for five scenarios: when a fire breaks out in an enemy’s camp, respond at once with an attack outside the camp; if there is an outbreak of fire, but the enemy remains quiet, bide your time and do not attack; when the force of the flames has reached its height, follow it up with an attack if practicable; if you can attack with fire from outside the enemy camp then do so and not wait for it to break out within; when you start a fire, be windward of it.”

48. “None should be more generously rewarded than spies. The five types of spies: local spies (inhabitants of a district), inward spies (officials of the enemy), converted spies (getting hold of enemy spies and using them for our purposes), doomed spies (spies we report to the enemy), and surviving spies (spies who bring back news from the enemy’s camp). If a secret piece of news is divulged by a spy before the time is ripe, he must be put to .”

49. Never be the aggressor. Use war when all other options to subvert have been used. “America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom.” –John Quincy Adams

Re: Elite Family Insider Returns for Q&A
:)... you're a kind spirit. Showing "care" for a complete stranger is a special "gift" in my opinion. Do not loose that.

Sure I will be missed by my wife, and mostly my children. But have tried my best to instill the things they need before my time comes. I have been told I will have the time to see that completed- which if it is true, is a gigantic blessing.

My wife is a very strong, spiritual woman. I am putting her through Med School(crosses fingers hope she get in next fall). She will inherit my half of my business so not only will she be independent, but financially secure from that as well.

Funny thing is I think I will miss them more, lol.

I'd tell you don't be sad for me, but I'm pretty sure it's ingrained in your spirit. Which as I said before, I see as a blessing.

So I will just say "Thank you."

No frowns for me, turn it upside down
:)
I've been blessed, given more than I deserve in my opinion.

Hmmm... so I'm a minimum effort maximum gain type of guy? I mean that in a bad way, lol. Always have been. You're dead on, I won't try to deny that. So it wouldn't surprise you that I had several scholarships to play D1 football? Or that I was a kickboxing champion at 19? or a plethora of other successes, but walked away from all of them without seeing it through?

I am very successful in my career(LUCKY), but really do not give a shit about it.

I do have a "higher" calling, always have... but it "scares" me to pursue it.

Also there's the fact that I am dying.

Thank you for the response.

Re: Elite Family Insider Returns for Q&A
Native Americans

1. The Silver Rule – Fully exercise the will, but never encroach upon the will of others. Breaking this rule leads to the horrifying example of our oft-forgotten brothers and sister, the Native Americans. Considering willpower the most prized gift to humanity, bear in mind the Path of Humanity. Knowledge, the first step, is the most objective and pure in truth. Wealth becomes more subjective – the value of an item differs according to its possessor. Furthering subjectivity is self-improvement – a ‘fix’ for one person may not work for everyone. Government becomes more subjective and flexible as time progresses, as does religion. Dependent on current issues, many religious beliefs are very subjective to a culture. Judaism and Islam forbid consuming pork. Keeping pigs cool requires more water than most domesticated animals; because swine have few sweat glands. Islam and Judaism originate in a desert, so consuming pork wastes the most precious resource, water. Society (way of life and habits) is the ever-changing model. Each step reveals universal truths (“contemplation benefits self-improvement” or “freedom lends to creativity”) and subjective ideas (“Communism is better than Capitalism” or “New Testament is more applicable to modern life than Old Testament”). Each step springs forth through exercising will. Present the results of free will (such as technology, religion, form of government), but never force the results upon others. Sharing their knowledge, the Native Americans find their wisdom used against them by Europeans; their wealth is robbed; ability to self-improve destroyed; ability to govern subdued; religion squelched; and their entire society decimated. Hampering another’s free will is the greatest insult to God, and remember this in recalling how many tears fell on American soil.

*General Concepts and Some Dances*
2. Native Americans develop traditions held in common with foreign religions including a generally monotheistic (belief in one god) religion, and they did so with no outside influence.

3. One God is above all spirits, has no gender, and mostly leaves earthly affairs to humans. Some tribes believe in twin deities: one destroys to avoid too much, and one creates to avoid too little.

4. Without fasting (refraining from food/beverage except water) at some point, one fails to truly experience Native American tradition. Fasting produces spiritual enlightenment/insight and ‘exercises’ the muscle of willpower by denying the body’s needs. Squeeze the body to expand the spirit. Fasting for an extended period, an Islamic tradition, should be universally practiced. In addition to stabilizing blood pressure, heart functioning, and boosting the immune system, fasting also rids the body of one-tenth to one-third of toxins obtained from breathing and eating. Jesus in the desert, Buddha under a tree, and Mohammed continually – all fasted. Deny the inner-self and become more aware of the outer self.

5. Humor is held in the highest regards, and clowns are found throughout many tribes. The Cheyenne clowns ride horses backwards, walk on hands, and perform many tasks contrary to ‘normal’. Many believe clowns cure some illnesses. The benefits of humor and laughter are numerous: laughing works abdominal muscles, lowers blood pressure in the long term, sends more oxygen through the body, decreases stress hormones, boosts the immune system, improves memory, and attracts friends. In finding a mate, men and women rank a good sense of humor in the top ten sought-after traits. Humor unites people during distress. Babies exhibit laughter as one of the first personality traits, and humor pervades every society. Developing humor means smiling more often, but more importantly – associate with others possessing a sense of humor, and spend time with people who make you happy (how rarely some do this).

6. Celibacy (abstaining from sex) is purifying and enlightening; however Native Americans practice temporary celibacy rather than permanent. Temporary celibacy leads to spiritual insights by freeing one from the worldly want of sex, but permanent celibacy leads to depression, irritability, insomnia, and physical ailments (like increased prostate problems in men).

7. Sweat lodges purify the body and spirit. Usually sweat lodges are dome-shaped huts with steam created by pouring water on fire-heated stones. Studies show sweat lodges detoxify the body by speeding up removal of toxins in our largest organ - the skin -; removing harmful mercury, lead, and zinc; promotes scar healing; breaks down calcium deposits in the blood; and removes toxins stored in fat. Countries valuing sweat lodges or saunas are among the most progressive (Finland, Sweden, South Korea, Germany, United States). Native Americans spend much time in a sweat lodge then quickly immerse themselves in snow or cold water for a short time. Often neglected in modern practice by non-Natives, hot/cold contrast is crucial in detoxifying the body.

8. In solitude and a natural setting, vision quests are performed. Confined to a small area, one must fast for days, only being allowed water. People in a state of severe crisis seek answers within using a vision quest – this being the goal of a vision quest – seeking an answer from within. Remember the continuing notion, “Society can only instruct. Inspiration springs forth from solitude.” Abandoning the outer world to retreat within is the best way to find the truth when truth is scare. Not always will a vision quest result in a vision – if this be the case, seek outside help. In the desert Jesus experienced a vision quest, and under a Bodhi tree did Buddha have his.

9. Dreams reveal inner wishes, and certain people have talent in interpreting dreams. Rarer dreams have a visiting entity, revealing plans to carry out God’s will, which brings physical or mental illness to those who do not fulfill the plans. Seldom dreams contain prophecy of future events.

10. Resulting from an imbalance between a human and the environment, an illness may be cured through changing behavior.

11. Upon reaching puberty a guardian spirit is sought through fasting, self-sacrifice, bathing, and self-purification. The purpose of a guardian spirit is to deal with a task or issue. After experiencing a spirit - a dress, dance, song, or ritual is given in order for the spirit to remain.

12. In a form of wealth redistribution, material possessions are given away to guests during a potlatch ceremony.

13. The spiritually-inclined tribe “Hopi” makes a series of predictions, all of which seemingly come true.
“We are told of the coming of the white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana. Men who took the land that was not theirs. And men who struck their enemies with thunder.” (This is the coming of white people. Thunder refers to gunshots.) “Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices.” (wagon trains) “A strange beast like a buffalo, but with great long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers.” (long-horn cattle) “The land will be crossed by snakes of iron.” (railroad) “The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider’s web.” (power/telephone lines) “The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun.” (roads and mirages) “You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it.” (oil spills) “You will see many youth, who wear their hair long like my people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn their ways and wisdom.” (hippies) “You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease.” (possibly Skylab, Mir, or a future even in space)

14. Before, during, and after events, a sacred pipe is used by all ceremonial participants. The bowl represents women and earth, sustainers of life. The pipe’s stem symbolizes men and growth – builders of life. Only a joined bowl and stem are spiritually active. Tobacco or any herb is smoked through the pipe.

15. Affecting weather, growth, and fertility, ‘Kachina’ is a term for spirits of the dead taking form of plants and animals. Inappropriate human behavior causes the kachinas to bring bad happenings such as inclement weather and infertility. The San Francisco Peaks are believed to be the home of kachinas.

16. Used by the Iroquois and other tribes for social and religious gatherings, a longhouse contains fire at both ends while people sitting on benches watch a dance or ritual performed in the building’s center.

17. After a bad omen, people form a circle around a leader, confessing their sins publicly during the Confession Dance.

18. Wrapped up or worn around the waist, a medicine bundle is a collection of sacred objects important for religious practices.

19. Upon reaching her first menstrual period, a woman is isolated from the rest of the tribe since she has power over others. She is told of her responsibilities and duties as a woman and taught to lead by example.

20. The Navajo believe in a holy wind directing and animating the body. The wind gives us thought, is the soul, and upon death this wind leaves the body.

21. Considered a protector, a totem is an animal, plant, or naturally-occurring thing functioning like a crest of symbol for a clan.

22. Sandpaintings depict celestial objects or a design given during a vision and are used for religious ceremonies.

23. Shamans are men or women close to the spirit world.

24. The Hopi believe Masau’u the ruler of the underworld, war, fire, and creation – comparable to Yaldabaoth.

25. Pollen sanctifies and renews things.

26. Prayersticks, elaborately-carved sticks, appeal to the spirit for good fortune.

27. Peyote, a plant producing psychedelic visions, is used in religion with the visions giving one spiritual insights.

28. Brining people together and celebrating life, the Sun Dance is initiated at sunrise when participates carve a tree to connect earth to the heavens. The eagle plays an important role in this ceremony, and is considered sacred, as the eagle flies higher and sees better (can identity a rabbit moving a mile away) than other birds. The eagle is a messenger from God.

29. The Cherokee Reconciliation Festival includes cleaning the council house (to prevent disease), hunting, dancing, music, starting of new fires, forgiving old conflicts, and starting anew.

30. The Prophet Dance beings with foretelling future events followed by a dance.

31. Gifts are given to the poor during the Grass Dance, a social ceremony, in which abstention from sex is practiced, and participants refusing to dance are whipped.

32. The Iroquois Code of Handsome Lake calls for abstaining from alcohol, abortion, divorce, and deserting children; people (especially witches) must confess sins to God; people must help each other; and Thanksgiving must be practiced.

33. The drum represents the heartbeat of a nation or tribe.

34. In the Nootka tribe, a seriously ill person is made well again by having his/her material possession given away, as owning fewer material possessions improves spiritual health. Material things make excellent servants but poor masters.

35. The Apache believe in spiritual energy used for good or evil. Channeled through a helper (animal, plant, or something manmade), the power is transferred to a person for a number of purposes. Prayers or chants control this energy.

36. Used determining an illness, a ‘hand trembler’ is selected by a patient’s family, and upon singing the trembler’s arms and hands shake, which is studied to determine the cause of the illness.

37. A ‘berdache’, an individual dressing or behaving like a member of the opposite sex, are considered spiritual leaders and counselors between men and women. Berdaches are also called ‘two-spirits’; because they simultaneously exist in two worlds.

*Native American Rights*
38. The Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 protects all Native American artifacts from excavation without permission given by appropriate Native American(s). For qualification an artifact must be older than 99 years.

39. The National Historic Preservation Act of 1992 is used by the US government to protect an area proven to be culturally significant to Native Americans.

40. The American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1994 legalizes peyote use in Native American ceremonies.

Re: Elite Family Insider Returns for Q&A
This is a GREAT read. This gentleman [link to www.dragon-tsunami.org] gave me the book when I was very young. He was a mentor to me both in martial arts and spiritually. I have read it over and over.

Chris would you agree that it can be applied to many things in life?

This may help some of you survive the Darkness. . .

The Art of War
1. War is the last resort in disagreements. A just nation or person must never strike first. As the sun will rise tomorrow, evil will seek to destroy what is good. Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War” is a simple, basic guide for warfare. The following is critical advice from “The Art of War”.

2. “The art of war is governed by five constant factors: moral law, heaven, earth, the commander, method and discipline. Moral law causes people to be in complete accord with their ruler, so they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger. Heaven signifies night and day, cold and heat, times and seasons. Earth comprises distances, great and small, danger and security, open ground and narrow passes, the chances of life and . The commander stands for the virtues of wisdom, sincerity, benevolence, courage, and strictness. Method and discipline is marshalling the army into proper subdivisions, graduations of rank among officers, maintenance of roads so supplies reach the army, and control of military spending.”

3. “With seven factors I can forecast victory or defeat. Which of the two sovereigns possess the moral law? Which of the two generals has the most ability? With whom lie the advantages of heaven and earth? On which side is discipline most rigorously enforced? Which army is stronger? On which side are officers and men more highly trained? In which army is there greater consistency in reward and punishment?”

4. “All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, seem unable. When using forces, we must seem inactive. When we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far.”

5. “There is no instance of a country benefiting from prolonged warfare.”

6. “In war let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns.”

7. “The captured soldiers should be kindly treated and kept.” Kindly treating prisoners of war destroys the evil image enemy propaganda paints.

8. “In the practical art of war, the best thing is taking the enemy’s country whole and intact, not to shatter and destroy it. It is better to capture an army than to destroy it, to capture a regiment, a detachment, a company than to destroy it. Hence, to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme intelligence; supreme intelligence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.” In Operation Desert Storm, American planes heavily ed the Iraqis, took aerial photos of the destruction, and dropped copies of the pictures on the enemy. Many Iraqi soldiers surrendered when what they were up against became clear. This psychological tactic saved many lives.

9. “It is the rule of war: if our forces are ten to the enemy’s one, to surround him; if five to one, to attack him; if twice as numerous, to divide our army into two; if equally matched, we can offer battle; if slightly inferiors in numbers, we can avoid the enemy; if quite unequal in every way, we can flee from him.”

10. “There are three ways a ruler can bring misfortune upon his army. By commanding the army to advance or retreat, being ignorant of the fact that it cannot obey, this is called hobbling the army. By attempting to govern an army the same way he administers a kingdom, being ignorant of the conditions in an army, this causes restlessness in the soldier’s mind. By employing the officers of his army without discrimination, through ignorance of the military principal of adaptation to circumstances, this shakes the confidence of the soldiers.” made many mistakes listed. He staged a lengthy war, ruled his army like his country, d prisoners, and caused destruction. This resulted in Germany’s social, economic, political, historical, and intellectual ruin.

11. “Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted.” Germany drove deep into Russia, reaching Stalingrad, but crossing the massive area took its toll on German troops, who would lose over three hundred thousand men in the Battle of Stalingrad.

12. “We can form a single united body, while the enemy must split into factions. Hence there will be a whole pitted against separate parts of a whole, making us many to the enemy’s few.”

13. “Rouse him, and learn the principals of his activity or inactivity. Force him to reveal himself, so as to find his vulnerable spots.”

14. “Military tactics are like water; for water in its natural course runs away from high places and hastens downwards. So in war the way is to avoid what is strong and strike at what is weak.”

15. “We are not fit to lead an army on the march unless we are familiar with the face of the country – its mountains and forests, its pitfalls and precipices, its marshes and swamps. We shall be unable to use the environment as an advantage unless we make use of local guides.”

16. “Now a soldier’s spirit is keenest in the morning; by noonday it has begun to flag; and in the evening his mind is bent only on returning to camp. A clever general avoids an army when its spirit is keen, but attacks it when it is sluggish and inclined to return. This is the art of studying moods.”

17. “It is a military axiom not to advance uphill against the enemy, nor to oppose him when he comes downhill.”

18. “Do not swallow bait offered by the enemy. Do not interfere with an army that is returning home.”

19. “When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.”

20. “There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: recklessness, which leads to destruction; cowardice, which leads to capture; a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults; a delicacy of honor, which is sensitive to shame; over concern for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.”

21. “Camp in high places, facing the sun. Do not climb heights in order to fight.”

22. “After crossing a river, get far away from it. When an invading force marches across a river, do not advance to meet it in mid-stream. It will be best to let half the army cross, and then deliver your attack.”

23. “If forced to fight in a salt marsh, you should have water and grass near you, and get your back to a clump of trees. In dry, level country, take up an easily accessible position with rising ground to your right and rear so the danger may be in front and safety lie behind. If you are careful of your men and camp on hard ground, the army will be free from disease of every kind, and this will spell victory.”

24. “If his place of encampment is of easy access, he is tendering a bait.”

25. “The rising of birds in their flight is the sign of an ambush. Startled beasts indicate a sudden attack is coming.”

26. “When some are seen advancing and some retreating, it is a lure. If those who are sent to draw water begin by drinking themselves, the army is suffering from thirst. If birds gather on any spot, it is unoccupied. Clamor by night betokens nervousness.”

27. “We may distinguish six kinds of terrain: accessible ground, entangling ground, temporizing ground, narrow passes, precipitous heights, and positions at a great distance from the enemy.”

28. “Ground which can be freely traversed by both sides is called accessible. With regard to this ground, be before the enemy in occupying sunny spots, and carefully guard your line of supplies.”

29. “Ground which can be abandoned but is hard to reoccupy is called entangling. For this ground if the enemy is unprepared you may go forth and defeat him. But if the enemy is prepared for your coming, and you fail to defeat him, then, return being impossible, disaster will ensue.”

30. “When the position is such that neither side will gain by making the first move, it is called temporizing ground. In this position even though the enemy should offer us an attractive bait, it will be advisable not to stir forth, but rather to retreat, thus enticing the enemy in his turn; then, when part of his army has come out, we may deliver our attack with advantage.”

31. “With regard to narrow passes, if you can occupy them first, let them be strongly garrisoned and await the advent of the enemy.”

32. “With regard to precipitous heights, if you are beforehand with your adversary, you should occupy the raised and sunny spots, and there wait for him to come up. If the enemy has occupied them before you, do not follow him, but retreat and try to entice him away.”

33. “If you are situated at a great distance from the enemy, and the strength of the two armies is equal, it is not easy to provoke a battle, and fighting will be to your disadvantage.”

34. “An army is exposed to six calamities, not arising from natural causes, but from faults for which the general is responsible. These are flight, insubordination, collapse, ruin, disorganization, and rout.”

35. “When the common soldiers are too strong and their officers too weak, the result is insubordination. When the officers are too strong and the common soldiers too weak, the result is collapse. When the higher officers are angry and insubordinate and the enemy gives battle, before the commander-in-chief can determine if he is in a position to fight, the result is ruin. When the general is weak and without authority; when his orders are not clear and distinct; when there are no fixed duties assigned to officers and men; and the ranks are formed in a slovenly manner, the result is utter disorganization. When a general is unable to estimate the enemy’s strength, allows an inferior force to engage a larger one, or hurls a weak detachment against a powerful one and neglects to place picked soldiers in the front rank, the result is rout.”

36. “The art of war recognizes nine varieties of ground: dispersive ground, facile ground, contentious ground, open ground, ground of intersecting highways, serious ground, difficult ground, hemmed-in ground, and desperate ground.”

37. “When a chieftain is fighting in his own territory, it is dispersive ground. On dispersive ground I would inspire my men with unity of purpose.”

38. “When he has penetrated into hostile territory, but to no great distance, it is facile ground. On facile ground halt not, and see that there is close connection between all parts of the army.”

39. “Ground the possession of which imports great advantage to either side, is contentious ground. On this ground attack not and hurry up the rear.”

40. “Ground on which each side has liberty of movement is open ground. On this ground do not try to block the enemy’s way, and keep a vigilant eye on defenses.”

41. “Ground which forms the key to three contiguous states, so that he who occupies it first has most of the empire at his command, is a ground of intersecting highways. On this ground I would consolidate my alliances.”

42. “When an army has penetrated into the heart of a hostile country, leaving a number of fortified cities in its rear, it is serious ground. On this ground gather plunder, and ensure a continuous stream of supplies.”

43. “Mountain forests, rugged steeps, marshes, and fens – all country that is hard to traverse: this is difficult ground. On this ground keep steady to the march and keep pushing along the road.”

44. “Ground which is reached through narrow gorges, and from which we can only retire by tortuous paths, so that a small number of the enemy would suffice to crush a large body of our men: this is hemmed in ground. On this ground resort to strategy, and block any way of retreat.”

45. “Ground on which we can only be saved from destruction by fighting without delay, is desperate ground. On this ground fight and proclaim to your soldiers the hopelessness of saving their lives. For it is the soldier’s disposition to offer an obstinate resistance when surrounded, to fight hard when he cannot help himself, and to obey promptly when he has fallen into danger.”

46. “Skillful leaders know how to drive a wedge between the enemy’s front and rear; to prevent cooperation between his large and small divisions; to hinder the good troops from rescuing the bad; the officers from rallying their men.”

47. “There are five ways of attacking with fire: to burn soldiers in their camp, to burn stores, to burn supply trains, to burn arsenals, and to hurl dropping fire against the enemy. The materials for raising fire should always be kept in readiness. In attacking with fire, be ready for five scenarios: when a fire breaks out in an enemy’s camp, respond at once with an attack outside the camp; if there is an outbreak of fire, but the enemy remains quiet, bide your time and do not attack; when the force of the flames has reached its height, follow it up with an attack if practicable; if you can attack with fire from outside the enemy camp then do so and not wait for it to break out within; when you start a fire, be windward of it.”

48. “None should be more generously rewarded than spies. The five types of spies: local spies (inhabitants of a district), inward spies (officials of the enemy), converted spies (getting hold of enemy spies and using them for our purposes), doomed spies (spies we report to the enemy), and surviving spies (spies who bring back news from the enemy’s camp). If a secret piece of news is divulged by a spy before the time is ripe, he must be put to .”

49. Never be the aggressor. Use war when all other options to subvert have been used. “America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom.” –John Quincy Adams
