DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to the elder of the eldest grandmothers, of all people, all races, and all nations, who were the living embodiments of grace and humility, demonstrating to the world how to move through adversity with dignity

And...

the elder of the eldest grandfathers, of all people, all races, and all nations, who were living embodiments of commitment to family and responsibility to community, demonstrating to the world that manhood is a condition of mind and being that cannot be bought or sold.

I acknowledge you and call you to an awakened state, to infuse the presence and power of your lives into the conscious minds of your descendants who are alive today.

Ache!

Hau Mitakuye Oyasin!

What you think means more
than anything else in your life

more than where you live,
more than your social position,
and more than what anyone else
may think about you.
George Matthew Adams

There is a light so intense, so powerful that nothing other than itself can exist in its presence.

It is a light that never goes out.

Certainly, no lie or deception, no boundary or defense can remain intact in its presence.

It is enduring power, and yet it is tender.

This light is natural.

When recognized, you do not think twice about it.

You know that anything that cannot stand the heavenly heat of this light is to be cast aside swiftly by conscious choice.

This light is your souls light.

The choice is yours to make.

Many are suffering from psychological, emotional, and spiritual torment they do not understand, cannot seem to shake, or are unable to move beyond. Others are suffering because of habitual behaviors that motivate reckless decision-making and poor choices, keeping them stuck in repetitive cycles of dysfunction and despair.

For the purpose of the healing work that will be offered as the Get Over It! process, I am defining suffering in the following way:
