All Nations Dream Catchers of the Seventh Fire Dream Catcher Heritage Collection

All Nations Dream-Catchers
 of the Seventh Fire Dream Catcher Heritage Collection

All Nations Dream-Catchers teach that all paths lead to the Creator and interweave one with another.  Truth can be seen from many points of view.  The Lakota spiritual leader, Black Elk, described his vision of the races of all people coming together into the circle of life and living in harmony and joy.  From the four corners of the earth came the Red Nation, the Black Nation, the Yellow Nation and the White Nation.  All paths lead to the Creator and interweave one with another. Each nation has its own ways of being and its own way that leads back to the Creator. You are to honor the ways of being of each nation and their special way that returns them to the Creator.  In so doing you will bring honor on yourSelf and your own Nation.  To accept and allow the vision of others is the heart of Peace.

All Nations Dream-Catchers tell the story that the Creator is at the center of the universe by the placement of a turquoise stone at the center of the sphere.  All the weaving passes through this center, the strands representing the many nations--four-leggeds, finned ones, winged ones, the trees, grasses, and flowers, the rocks, waters, and the air.  And, of course the many tribes of two-legged, the races of human beings.  The weaving shows that all of these nations are inter-connected and inter-dependent in the fabric of life.  They are all ONE being in many manifestations.

Woven through the center of  the All Nations Dream-Catcher is the ancient sign of infinity, a figure 8, that shows that the promise of peace in the Land of Souls can become the reality of peace on Mother Earth.  It is our heritage.  Peace will come as we learn to see our underlying connection to each other and to all nations, and as we learn to accept and allow the ways of others and their own special connection to the Creator.  Tolerance of others is an expression of Love, the Love we receive each moment from the Creator, with Whom We Are One.

Creator has many names and expressions.  Some call the Creator, God.  Others say Allah, or Yhwh, or Jehovah, or Giidzhii Manidoo, or Tunka-shila, or Wakan Tanka, or Vital Principle.  Some see the face of the Creator in the face of all creatures, in the forms of all creation.  They know that the Creator is present in all things and so they honor all things.  Some know that the Creator is everywhere, in everything, including themSelves.  Some see the Creator in the working of the Universe and speak of the Creator with the language of quantum physics, using words such as gravitational force, electromagnetic force, strong or weak nuclear forces.  Many of these same scientists see the hand of the Creator and so the circle of knowledge becomes complete, a unity.

The All Nations Dream-Catchers can become a symbol for all the world to take into their hearts and minds. There is no need for struggle, conflict, greed, poverty, despair, fear, or hatred when we acknowledge our expansiveness in the seamlessness of the universe.  When we were children we played the game of "so big" as some adult spread our arms wide.  Now as adults we can stretch still farther and see that all things are connected in the Circle of Life.  "So big!"  These dream-catchere are a gift from a very advanced culture, the many cultures of the many tribes of Native America.
