WHEELS AND KEYS FOR HEALING OTHERS PRACTICAL USE OF HEALING CRYSTALS STEPPING INTO THE SILENCE This way is an all-consuming, all-illuminating lifelong commitment that will tolerate NO illusions. It is not a hobby, sport, recreation, diversion or a fad. As this Warrior Task Assignment journey begins, we must approach it as we would a pilgrimage to a Holy Shrine. We must hold in our Hearts, the knowledge that there is only one true way or route to this shrine COMMITMENT and DISCIPLINE! We take to the road with certainty and a strong will and intent to reach the goal. As we proceed, however, other roads that seem to be more attractive, more enjoyable, more socially acceptable, or more physically (economically) rewarding�or merely easier or shorter� will always appear. In our confusion it may soon appear as though the other roads better match the superficial appearance of what we think the path "ought" to look like. Instead of following the "true" route to the "shrine; we then find ourselves wandering in all directions with our energy scattered, racing after what entertains us at the moment and losing the possibility of reaching the shrine! By embracing the Warrior's Path we will find our way home! We will discover our Inner Heart!

These Twisted Hairs were all "WARRIORS" and came from many different tribes from all of North, South & Central America which was called Turtle Island. A Twisted Hair Warrior was also, usually, a Elder and respected Medicine Man/Woman, Shaman, Sorcerer, Magician or Wizard and was a member of these particular tribes "secret" Medicine Society or Magickal Lodge. Therefore, they were considered to be a Man/Woman of Power and Knowledge. What seperated a Twisted Hair from a Traditional Medicine Person was their "ability" and "desire" to seek knowledge from all sources! For what ever reason, these men/women were not content to blindly accept the limitations and bounderies of their tribe's traditional teachings; and chose, instead, to travel and seek knowledge from every direction of the Wheel of Life in order to get to their Center and come into perfect alignment with the Great Spirit. In our people's language, the hair symbolized knowledge and, therefore, a "Twisted Hair" was one who wove knowledge from all sources into their Path with Heart and made it their knowledge. They learned to utilize every available resource around them in accordance to the Great Law: "EVERYTHING IS BORN OF WOMAN" & followed the two other Great Laws of "MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY WITH MINIMUM EFFORT", and "NOTHING MUST OR SHOULD BE DONE WHICH WILL HURT THE CHILDREN"! In this way, they became "Rainbow Warriors" and began to meet with each other,sit in council and exchange openly their various sources of knowledge. At a very historical meeting in 1224 in OAXACA, Mexico; they met and banded together into a very secret Medicine Society/Magickal Lodge and named themselves the Twisted Hairs Medicine Society of the Sweet Medicine Sun Dance. Their "Council of Elders" came to a unanimous agreement for membership and established a Circle of Law to help facilitate the sharing of their combined knowledge with anyone whose primary reason for choosing a physical body was for the purpo...
