What makes someone a human being you would like to emulate? Who do you admire most?
What does it mean to have a noble and courageous character? Each of us is capable of fulfilling our deepest inner ability to raise the vibration of the world. By finding ways to live and love, to learn new ways of thinking and being in this world with a positive attitude, we can affect a change in those around us. With qualities such as humility, patience, and caring for others, we can help, perhaps one person at a time to find hope and joy in life.
At the Parliament of World Religions in 2018, Onaubinisay (Walks Above the Ground) or Dr. Jim Dupont gave a talk which can be watched on the web at https://youtu.be/AB-Fi31klTs
He is an elder of the Ojibway-Anishinabe of the Marten Clan and originally from the Shawanaga First Nation on Eastern Georgian Bay.
He spoke of how we must live our lives in the best way we can. We can “live our lives in this world in a way that touches the Spirit directly…Everything that we do is spiritual…Live your life in the most direct way. Express yourself in the beauty of life.” By fulfilling our soul’s purpose through the guidance of the Spirit we can bring love, happiness, and beauty into the world.
I offer this day, this walk,
To bless the Earth
Upon which I tread.
I offer these rocks
Atop one another
As a sign to all
Who may pass this way,
That they may be blessed.
May the breath of God
Wave the fronds of ferns
And palms of the devil’s club
In a greeting of welcome
To all who pass this way.

The Future of the World
What would you like the world to be like in 20 years? In 50 years? In 100 years?
How do you think you can help this vision become your ideal?
Consider this: Our children will be running the world.
What kind of consciousness do they need to have to create and maintain a better world? How do they become the kind of leaders we want to see running our world and caring for our earth?
Very young children learn by imitating what the adults in their lives do, how they live, their habits, how they talk. We are their role models in every moment of our lives.
How is what you are doing affecting others with whom you spend time? What habits and tendencies do you have that you want your children to see? And which ones do you want to hide and not show your children?
This is what I have learned.
To look not ahead nor behind,
But to look only in the moment with love
Upon the being which my eyes
And heart behold.
To look with truth,
With my own eyes
With my heart & soul
Guiding & teaching me.
