Since we all share the very same elemental building blocks of Nature that are animated by the spaces of our personal perceptions, we are experiencing the holarchic center and circumference of a pure and total presence that is infinitely vast and deeply personal simultaneously. Whether we refer to all this as the Six Elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Space, & Knowledge), the periodic table, or some other terminology, Life itself enfolds all of us with its own vitalizing creative spark. That universal spark manifests as the momentous flash of the rousing pulse of our primal desire to know. How each of us chooses to 'feed the fire' in order to further substantiate the indwelling clear light of the Knowledge element is up to each of us. "Native Knowledge: The Ecological Way of Elemental Harmony Volume 1 -- The Sacred Golden Thread" provides the methods for making the raw materials of our lives immediately available. With these, the process of self-illumination burns brightly from within. 

Native Knowledge: The Ecological Way of Elemental Harmony is a "Book of Life" for the living. It is a "Book of Death" for the dying. It is a "Book of Union" for uniting the two as the key to vitalizing our direct experience of the Tree of Life itself. William Braham has written a comprehensive manifesto for envisioning the coalescent growth of the seeds and fruits for today's Ancient Now Age. Here, he establishes the structural framework for this current era with firm roots grounded in a primordial origin story of the "Great Perfection of the Wheel of Time." William sees our way through these momentous times in eco-logical terms. We are the creative union of elemental forces evolving towards the harmony of our true nature. An 'ecosystem of the organic mind' is the lens he uses to focus upon the actual source-material of what informs our experiences. This primal design clarifies how we conceive, birth, and live our everyday lives as active agents engineering our internal and external environments. Life introduces itself to all of us as the universal ground of everything each of us seeks to know. As such, the reader is invited to look into how Native Knowledge weaves its connective thread-work by fleshing out the rousing pulse of our desire for everything we bring to life and the stories we tell. This is both deeply personal and vastly global in scope. And so Native Knowledge: The Ecological Way of Elemental Harmony introduces the reality of our individuality in terms of pristine consciousness. Here, we encounter the original weaver of the "Sacred Golden Thread" of life's continuity. This is the real meaning of the oft-misrepresented word 'tantra.' Native Knowledge: The Ecological Way of Elemental Harmony is a call to action. Those moving towards activating an elementally embodied reason for being that is grounded in a consilient system of holarchy will find an architectural blueprint. Today's culture creators who seek direct access to that field will find open source-code for stoking a fire that reveals an indwelling clear light where the mysteries of organic mind dwell nakedly.

William Braham is a rare type of author. He sees with the organic mind's eyes. This sort of vision engineers patterns revealed by the organic nature of the mind as his means of bridging diverse world-views so the readers may also see what is hidden in plain sight. For decades William has consistently envisioned wholesome ways of living in harmony with Life's evolutionary challenges. Since his early years the awe-inspiring beauty and raw power of the primal elements have fueled his inspiration. From then on Life itself became his most important teacher. As a young man the spirit of 'pure stoke' opened his travels to distant, remote, and forbidden places. While visiting he instinctively knew himself to be completely at home in those wildwoods and plateaus. As a wayfinder William discovered his own guidebook to a mysterious state referred to in ancient lore as the Source of Happiness. Thereafter William's life-work appeared in the form of a quest to make the continuity of that vital experience accessible to others. After years of quietly authoring his pure vision in the arcane language of Tibetan (primarily) key seismic and volcanic events of 2018 unlocked William's creative energy. He reformulated his expression solely in the American idiom, his mother tongue. That first expression burst forth spontaneously in the form of a prose-poem spoken by a pristine form of consciousness, the primordial Śrī Vidyāmātā. She is intimately known to this author by the name "Smiling Lotus." At that time the very first lightning strike of knowingness clearly thundered the title as "The Flesh of Smiling Lotus." Its cloudforce grew into a continuous down-pour of transmission lasting all of a full thirty days. That single-voiced series of essentialized statements united to provide the maternal womb-source and paternal root stock needed to conceive the growth potential of the Ecological Way of Elemental Harmony. And with that, the most basic elements of Life itself decisively crystalized into an effortless envisioning of practical tools. These engineer the precious raw materials of our lives that are necessary for embodying authentically holistic, element-based systems for conscious growth. Over the long and rigorous test of Time, the applied living of his vision has brought the core tenet of native knowledge−his sacred golden thread–down to Earth and into open minds and hands. Its elementary simplicity easily supports the daily practice of actually grasping the real meaning of our everyday way of living that organically coheres with our own true nature.
