Mahpiya - 'from the stars' (Lakota)

Mahpiya - 'from the stars' (Lakota)

I recall reading that the Hopi Indian people referred to Meteorites as 'Diamonds from the sky.'

Here is a picture of a piece of the Brenham Meteorite that came to Earth in Kansas, it is mostly Iron, with small Nickel and Olivine Crystal inclusions.

Consider that these elements can be found on Earth but not in this make up. So I asked myself, this 4 + billion year old piece of the universe has been orbiting a great distance, so if it contains Earth elements, there must be somewhere out there maybe like Earth, perhaps populated too? Perhaps from where some of the Star People originate.

I have a couple of square pieces of the Brenham stone, I use one as a dowsing pendulum and it is very accurate. So how does this work? I think the Great Mystery has a hand in it.

Why then, should as most might say, an inanimate object be able to behave like a living entity and to be able to give accurate answers to questions a human asks with their thoughts? It must come down to the common energy force that is all around us and in the Universe, the Great Mystery.

Not everyone has the ability to divine the answers by dowsing, I think you have to have a given ability or gift to do so. The power of the mystery must be used wisely and not to try and predict lottery numbers say, it will not work for that and it may lose you effectiveness, if the mystery decides you are trying to use the conduit for improper reasons and cease to work for you or send you in the wrong direction as a lesson. My belief is that this gift must be used in an authentic way, as intended by the gift giver, to help others.

Perhaps many of are unaware of your purpose here, we learn and acquire knowledge, but if we have the spiritual understanding gift, we have the chance to help others for the better. You have to be a person who is in tune with the Earth and the unseen spiritual force that is all around us to be able to understand this, many don't and are unaware.

The American Indian people have largely not lost this connection, that is a unique gift for any people to have.

For those truly connected, you may at times have situations where you plan to so something or say something, but some unsaid counsel tells you not to, listen to that. It knows. Often I have been about to say or do something and this prompt not to, has saved me something that might be a future trouble.

Going back to the opening of this theme, the Lakota have a phrase Mahpiya, which can be translated as 'falling from the stars or the heavens'. It was a strange thing but when I was very young, I could not say my name Matthew properly for some time and what I did attempt, came out very similar to Mahpiya. Perhaps a coincidence, but perhaps something that had already been decided.

For those with enquiring minds, looking to enrich their knowledge, we sometimes come across by chance things that amaze us. I think how you live your life and treat others is truly your persona, they say 'what goes around, comes around.' It works out like that. Things are circular, seasons, orbits, perhaps life and lives. People who live bad lives, end up in bad situations. It catches up with them in the end.

We are truly living as a part of something with many connected pieces, perhaps that is the purpose for us humans, to collect the required parts so that in the end we move onto another dimension, whole and equipped to live in some sort of paradise where everyone lives harmoniously.

This was the way it used to be for the American Indian, perhaps to prepare them eventually, once they had lived their required amount of lives to then finally move the soul onto the ultimate perhaps eternal life once they had acquired the necessary knowledge.
