"The
way of knowledge is like our old way of hunting. You begin with a mere trail -
a footprint. If you follow that faithfully, it may lead you to a clearer train
- a track - a road. Later on there will be many tracks, crossing and diverging
one from the other. Then you must be careful, for success lies in the choice of
the right road."

An entire
apple tree is initially contained in the seed. Visions are initially contained
in the idea. If you trace the path of a blooming flower backwards, it goes from
the blooming flower back to a bud, back to a stem, back to a seed. So it is in
the way of knowledge. Often we will experience a hunch or a feeling that we are
supposed to do something. At first it may not make any sense. This is the seed
stage. Once we start to investigate, more gets revealed. As more is revealed,
the more knowledge we get. This is the way the Great Spirit guides us.
Great
Spirit, help me to choose the right choices.
