Vision Quest

Father, What kind of seeds can I share with the world?
A "Seed" carries the potential for endless creation. It's the origin of life, prosperity, happiness, culture and freedom.
Seeds are Ideas, Dreams, Relationships, Children.
It all starts in your imagination.
You carry seeds.
You are a seed!
Now, you are ready to go on your quest...
Aho!
A vision quest is a rite of passage, similar to an initiation. It is a turning point in life taken at any given time to find oneself and the intended spiritual and life direction. When a person is ready, he or she will go on a personal, spiritual quest alone in the wilderness, often in conjunction with a period of fasting. This usually lasts for a number of days while the person is tuned into the spirit world.
There is something about being alone in the wilderness that brings us closer and more aware of the 4 elements and our connection to the creative source. We go to seek truths and divine realization, just as many of the ancient prophets did in their time.
In its own way, the vision quest is an Initiation. It is a time of internal transformation and renewal.
Who am I? Why am I here?
There are many ways to do this.
To find your's, first, you must choose to seek and connect with your vision.
It's highly recommended that you experience a traditional Vision Quest at least once in your lifetime. And after this experience, it may take time for you to process affecting dreams, synchronicities and other messages you received for your life.
Let your heart guide you to that place of harmony and balance.
Your path is always ahead,
and it goes one step at the time.
Earth my body,
Water my blood,
Air my breath,
Fire my Spirit.

A Vision Quest is an experience of deeper understanding of Nature and Spirit. It is a ceremony practice by the first peoples of Turtle Island.
To prepare for this "insight" one must first cleanse the body and mind by going through an Inipi or sweat lodge. Then with the help of a Holy Man is told certain things and must go to a spot, usually on a holy mountain, and stay 2 or 3 days. During this time no food is eaten and one does not sleep but spends the time in deep prayer and observation. Many times, but not always, there is a vision. This vision is then shared with the Holy Man to help learn of its meaning. Sometimes the meaning is not shown for several years afterwards. This is part of a vision quest I was told to share with all who may be interested.
Once, I went to pray at the top of the sacred mountain of my ancestors. As I climbed to the top I heard voices singing as the wind blew the leaves. At the top I saw, made from many stones, a large circle with a cross inside. I knew from my teachings that this represented the circle of life and the four directions. I sat down by the edge of this circle to pray. I thought this is only a symbol of the universe. "True," a very soft voice said. "Look and you will see the Centre of the Universe. Look at every created thing."
As I looked around I saw that every created thing had a thread of smoke or light going from it. The voice whispered, "This cord that every created thing has is what connects it to the Creator. Without this cord, it would not exist."
As I watched I saw that all these threads, coming from everything, went to the center of the circle where the four directions were one place (the center of the cross). I saw that all these threads were tied together or joined here at this spot.
The voice spoke again, "This is the Centre of the Universe. The place where all things join together and all things become one. The place where everything begins and ends. The place inside everything created." That's when I understood that all of creation, the seen and the unseen, was all related.
The voice spoke one last time, "Yes, now you know the Centre of the Universe."
Great Spirit ~ Mother Earth,
grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
