PML Disease: What is it? by Harmony Stalter
"
You may be asking yourself what exactly it is. PML stands for Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy. The majority of the population carries the Polyomavirus JC, which is known as the JC virus, and it normally lays dormant until a person's immune system becomes weakened. This disease can occur in organ transplant patients, people undergoing chronic corticosteroid or immunosuppressive therapy, and people that have certain cancers, such as Hodgkin's disease, lymphoma, and sarcoidosis. PML Disease most commonly occurs in individuals that are HIV positive. This disease affects the central nervous system and brain, often causing a misdiagnosis."

Tell Me A Story by Bear Walker
"The most often asked question I get from my patients, students, or friends, young and old, is, “Can you tell me a story?” Tell me what it was like to grow up in the native ways. This is exactly what I used to ask my own grandfather. So all the stories that I share with my own children or any one else are the stories my kind, sweet, simple grandfather shared with me."

Panache Desai: Vehicle of Peace, Love and Light
"People experience the energy in very individual ways. Some speak of a tangible feeling of a vibration or energy moving through their body. Some experience being filled with an ecstatic divine love. Some experience the release of that which is limiting them in their personal and spiritual growth. Many awaken to spiritual gifts and abilities. What is most important to remember is that people draw to them whatever experience they need at that time for their evolution."

Joseph FireCrow: Renowned Native American Flute Man
"My musical journey began when I was young. Drums were a regular part of our lives. In the summer were the war dances, now called powwows. As kids, we would imitate the drummers on my mother’s galvanized washtub.
The very first time I heard the flute, I was a young boy living on the
Northern Cheyenne Reservation located in
Southeastern Montana. Grover Wolfvoice was the flute man playing this wonderful music. The music was beautiful to my ears, yet it scared me. There was much poverty and depression at that time. The sound of the flute touched my heart, where there was much pain and uncertainty. Through all of the hardships of reservation life, the beauty and wonder of our homeland beckoned to me."

The Internet as a Living Symbol of Global Oneness by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
"I believe that the Internet is a gift we have been given. It provides an image of how the energy of life can flow freely in a way that defies the barriers of nationality and geography. Yet sadly because we are so immersed in the surface activity of this technology, in its tools of commerce and communication, we do not realize its deeper, symbolic dimension. A symbol is a connection to the sacred ground of our being which alone gives real meaning to our daily life."
