Ethics
Image by Victoryanah
1.
Rise with the sun to pray. Pray
alone. Pray often. The
Great Spirit will listen, if you only speak.
2. Be
tolerant of those who are lost on
their path. Ignorance, conceit,
anger, jealousy and greed stem from a
lost soul. Pray that they will
find guidance.
3.
Search for yourself, by yourself.
Do not allow others to make your path
for you. It is your road, and
yours alone. Others may walk it
with you, but no one can walk it for
you.
4. Treat
the guests in your home with much
consideration. Serve them the
best food, give them the best bed and
treat them with respect and honor.
5. Do
not take what is not yours whether
from a person, a community, the
wilderness or from a culture. It
was not earned nor given. It is
not yours.
6.
Respect all things that are placed
upon this earth - whether it be people
or plant.
7. Honor
other people's thoughts, wishes and
words. Never interrupt another
or mock or rudely mimic them.
Allow each person the right to
personal expression.
8. Never
speak of others in a bad way.
The negative energy that you put out
into the universe will multiply when
it returns to you.
9. All
persons make mistakes. And all
mistakes can be forgiven.
10. Bad
thoughts cause illness of the mind,
body and spirit. Practice
optimism.
11. Nature is
not FOR us, it is a PART of us.
They are part of your worldly family.
12. Children
are the seeds of our future.
Plant love in their hearts and water
them with wisdom and life's lessons.
When they are grown, give them space
to grow.
13. Avoid
hurting the hearts of others.
The poison of your pain will return to
you.
14. Be
truthful at all times. Honesty
is the test of ones will within this
universe.
15. Keep
yourself balanced. Your Mental
self, Spiritual self, Emotional self,
and Physical self all need to be
strong, pure and healthy. Work
out the body to strengthen the mind.
Grow rich in spirit to cure emotional
ails.
16. Make
conscious decisions as to who you will
be and how you will react. Be
responsible for your own actions.
17. Respect
the privacy and personal space of
others. Do not touch the
personal property of others -
especially sacred and religious
objects. This is forbidden.
18. Be true to
yourself first. You cannot
nurture and help others if you cannot
nurture and help yourself first.
19. Respect
others religious beliefs. Do not
force your beliefs on others.
20. Share your
good fortune with others.
Participate in charity.
