This course covers the philosophy by which Stalking Wolf lived his life, as well as what he taught to Tom during their 10 years together. While it is based in Native American philosophy, Stalking Wolf found many truths common to all mankind throughout his years of extensive wandering. It is the combination and distillation of these common truths that are covered in this, and subsequent, Philosophy classes. I will also combine the Philosophy 1 with Temples. Temples is a class that combines the Way of the Spirit and the Temples of the Soul to create the highest form of enlightenment and power that Grandfather ever taught. It will bring the student into a new dimension, a higher level of understanding, skill, and awareness that I have never been able to take a class to before. This class combines the best of both worlds and brings us to a full understanding of how Grandfather lived, experienced, and believed."Grandfather spoke again, saying, "Trying to live a spiritual life in modern society is the most difficult path one can walk. It is a path of pain, of isolation, and of shaken faith, but that is the only way that our Vision can become reality. Thus the true Quest in life is to live the philosophy of the Earth within the confines of man. There is no church or temple we need to seek peace, for ours are the temples of the wilderness. There are no spiritual leaders, for our hearts and the Creator are our only leaders. Our numbers are scattered; few speak our language or understand the things that we live. Thus we walk this path alone, for each Vision, each Quest, is unique unto the individual. But we must walk within society or our Vision dies, for a man not living his Vision is living death."
