This is an excerpt from the book
Beyond 2012 by James Endredy, A Shaman's Call to Personal Change and the Transformation of Global Consciousness.
Many people have awakened to the need to change the way we are stewarding our beautiful planet. We need to start right now. The messages from the First Shamans, as well as those awakened people that understand and are taking action, can broadly be boiled down to four main categories:
1. That the planet we live on, our miraculous Mother Earth, a living and breathing entity that needs to be protected from the mindless greed and exploitation of the human race. It is time that we wake up and develop healthy and harmonious ways of living in a sustainable fashion with teh planet that provides us with life.
2. That the peoples of the world need to unite for the common good and humanity mature so that race, nationality, and religious affiliations don't stand in the way of conducting human affairs in a healthy and peaceful manner.
3. That compassion, caring, charity, and love replace hatred and bigotry as we move forward in this time of great transformation and into a new age of global awareness and stewardship of our planet.
4. That education of the interconnection of all life be the cornerstone of social, political, and religious institutions that make up the human enterprise.
In terms of action, the transformation of consciousness toward conscious co-creation requires us to act in a more evolved manner. A list of some of these requirements might look like this:
1. Require that our government treat all peoples with peace and compassion.
2. Require our government not to grant more rights to corporations than it grants to individuals. People must be held accountable for their actions and not be allowed to hide behind their corporate "entities."
3. Require our businesses to produce goods and services in a way that is not detrimental to the health of our biosphere.
4. Require our media to provide honest information not dependent on commercialism but geared toward making informed decisions on both local and global situations and events.
5. Require ourselves to actively help others to live through the Luminous Self and to encourage children, from an early age, to evolve spiritually through teaching about the interconnectedness of all life.
6. Require ourselves to work "jobs" that serve to protect, preserve, and restore the delicate ecosystems of our planet, and develop new technologies that will enable us to live more harmoniously with the natural environments that sustain us.
NATIVE AMERICAN TRADITIONAL CODE OF ETHICS1. Each morning upon rising, and each evening before sleeping, give thanks for
the life within you and for all life, for the good things the Creator has given
you and for the opportunity to grow a little more each day. Consider your
thoughts and actions of the past day and seek for the courage and strength
to be a better person. Seek for the things that will benefit others (everyone).
2. Respect. Respect means "To feel or show honor or esteem for someone or
something; to consider the well being of, or to treat someone or something
with deference or courtesy". Showing respect is a basic law of life.
a. Treat every person from the tiniest child to the oldest elder with
respect at all times.
b. Special respect should be given to Elders, Parents, Teachers, and
Community Leaders.
c. No person should be made to feel "put down" by you; avoid hurting other
hearts as you would avoid a deadly poison.
d. Touch nothing that belongs to someone else (especially Sacred Objects)
without permission, or an understanding between you.
e. Respect the privacy of every person, never intrude on a person's quiet
moment or personal space.
f. Never walk between people that are conversing.
g. Never interrupt people who are conversing.
h. Speak in a soft voice, especially when you are in the presence of Elders,
strangers or others to whom special respect is due.
i. Do not speak unless invited to do so at gatherings where Elders are
present (except to ask what is expected of you, should you be in doubt).
j. Never speak about others in a negative way, whether they are present
or not.
k. Treat the earth and all of her aspects as your mother. Show deep
respect for the mineral world, the plant world, and the animal world.
Do nothing to pollute our Mother, rise up with wisdom to defend her.
l. Show deep respect for the beliefs and religion of others.
m. Listen with courtesy to what others say, even if you feel that what they
are saying is worthless. Listen with your heart.
n. Respect the wisdom of the people in council. Once you give an idea to
a council meeting it no longer belongs to you. It belongs to the people.
Respect demands that you listen intently to the ideas of others in council
and that you do not insist that your idea prevail. Indeed you should freely
support the ideas of others if they are true and good, even if those ideas
ideas are quite different from the ones you have contributed. The clash
of ideas brings forth the Spark of Truth.
3. Once a council has decided something in unity, respect demands that no one
speak secretly against what has been decided. If the council has made an
error, that error will become apparent to everyone in its own time.
4. Be truthful at all times, and under all conditions.
5. Always treat your guests with honor and consideration. Give of your best
food, your best blankets, the best part of your house, and your best service
to your guests.
6. The hurt of one is the hurt of all, the honor of one is the honor of all.
7. Receive strangers and outsiders with a loving heart and as members of the
human family.
8. All the races and tribes in the world are like the different colored flowers
of one meadow. All are beautiful. As children of the Creator they must all
be respected.
9. To serve others, to be of some use to family, community, nation, and the
world is one of the main purposes for which human beings have been created.
Do not fill yourself with your own affairs and forget your most important
talks. True happiness comes only to those who dedicate their lives to the
service of others.
10. Observe moderation and balance in all things.
11. Know those things that lead to your well-being, and those things that lead
to your destruction.
12. Listen to and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to
come in many forms; in prayer, in dreams, in times of quiet solitude, and in
the words and deeds of wise Elders and friends.
