How We must be to Influence the Future

The late Navajo elder Leon Secatero (Headman for the Canoncito Band at To'Hajillee) once told me that (in a near death experience) he saw the Wind Walkers take corn pollen in their mouths to bless their words before they spoke to him.

“The 9Spirit) elders talked about positive things, focusing on the positive to make things happen, to bring in good energy so that life will continue. They said to use song, prayer, dance to focus on positive thought, and to help us go forward on the path to the future in a good way, in a sacred way.”

“What I was shown,” Grandfather Leon told me, “was the way we should be, how we must be to influence the future, and also to influence all the plants, the animals, the waters, the air and the fire.

“It’s important. I came to a knowing that the only way you can have the power, is through the color and the light of positive thought and energy. Put all your concentration on this, not other things.

“Put your concentration on the positive. That’s how it’s done.”
