“Nowhere in the world is presented a government of so much liberty and equality. To the humblest and poorest amongst us are held out the highest privileges and positions.

“I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being. And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy.” PeopleWorldChildrenMadeI CanWholeTogetherSpiritMotherFatherSawsSeeingTreeGrewHolyShapesMountainHighestUnderstoodStandingAll ThingsSacredRoundsWideCirclesNativeNative AmericanShelterMother EarthDaylightFloweringNative AmericaNative American IndianStarlightNative American EarthNative American Indian InspirationalSacred ThingsFlowering Trees Author:Black Elk

“It is a union with a Higher Good by love, that alone is endless perfection. The only sufficient object for man must be something that adds to and perfects his nature, to which he must be united in love; somewhat higher than himself, yea, the highest of all, the Father of spirits. That alone completes a spirit and blesses it, - to love Him, the spring of spirits.” MenSpiritFatherUnitedObjectsHigherHighestSpringPerfectionAddUnionsEndlessSufficientBless Author:Robert B. Leighton
