Joseph Rael (Beautiful Painted Arrow) is a Native American visionary whose teachings have gained international attention. Though strongly rooted in native traditions, he has lived his life from inspiration. This is Rael's teaching about inspiration itself, "and how," as he says, "inspiration is in all things." Here, in the simple act of counting from one to ten in his native Tiwa tongue, Joseph Rael explores the mysterious connections between energy and matter, between spirit and manifested reality.
