THE INDIGENOUS CAFE PODCAST INTRO “The dictionary defines kindness as, the quality of being generous, helpful, and caring about other people, or an act showing this quality. I think humans are innately kind but events around us can change us. We need to find practical ways to show our kindness every day. Kindness comes in many ways, and being kind to ourselves, other people, animals and the environment are all essential. There is no hierarchy to kindness. We can be kind to ourselves and others at the same time, and we can receive the kindness of others graciously. How we treat others in the natural world has a direct and immediate impact on our own spiritual growth, which in turn influences our capacity to continue to give. Give kindness to all living things and expect nothing in return. Acts of kindness can and will change the world.”
-Roman Orona

Artist's you will hear in the order they are played on this weeks show:
THE INDIGENOUS CAFE PODCAST INTRO “The purpose of God in creating man (Humans) hath been, and will ever be, to enable him to know his Creator and to attain His Presence. To this most excellent aim, this supreme objective, all the heavenly Books and the divinely-revealed and weighty Scriptures unequivocally bear witness…Whoso hath failed to recognize Him will have condemned himself to the misery of remoteness, a remoteness which is naught but utter nothingness and the essence of the nethermost fire. Such will be his fate, though to outward seeming he may occupy the earth's loftiest seats and be established upon its most exalted throne.” -Bahá’u’lláh
“One must remember that the purpose of this life is to prepare the soul for the next.” -Universal House of Justice (00:00:00-00:01:59)

5. Joanne Shenandoah - “I Am Your Friend” (Peace & Power) (00:16:18-00:20:00)
Roman Orona (Host) (00:20:00-00:22:29) “ . . in this world he must prepare himself for the life beyond. That which he needs in the world of the Kingdom must be obtained here. Just as he prepared himself in the world of the matrix (in your mother’s womb) by acquiring forces necessary in this sphere of existence, so, likewise, the indispensable forces of the divine existence must be potentially attained in this world. What is he in need of in the Kingdom which transcends the life and limitation of this mortal sphere? That world beyond is a world of sanctity and radiance; therefore, it is necessary that in this world he should acquire these divine attributes. In that world there is need of spirituality, faith, assurance, the knowledge and love of God. These he must attain in this world so that after his ascension from the earthly to the heavenly Kingdom he shall find all that is needful in that eternal life ready for him…How shall he obtain these merciful gifts and powers? First, through the knowledge of God. Second, through the love of God. Third, through faith. Fourth, through philanthropic deeds. Fifth, through self-sacrifice. Sixth, through severance from this world. Seventh, through sanctity and holiness. Unless he acquires these forces and attains to these requirements, he will surely be deprived of the life that is eternal.” -Abdu’l-Bahá
6. Black Lodge Singers - “The Land of Gathering” (Recorded Live in Arizona) (00:22:29-00:27:39)

10. Insingizi - “Siyabonga” (Spirit Of Africa) (00:37:30-00:39:56)
Roman Orona (Host) (00:39:56-00:41:09) “But the life of man is not so restricted; it is divine, eternal, not mortal and sensual. For him a spiritual existence and livelihood is prepared and ordained in the divine creative plan. His life is intended to be a life of spiritual enjoyment to which the animal can never attain. This enjoyment depends upon the acquisition of heavenly virtues. The sublimity of man is his attainment of the knowledge of God. The bliss of man is the acquiring of heavenly bestowals, which descend upon him in the outflow of the bounty of God. The happiness of man is in the fragrance of the love of God. This is the highest pinnacle of attainment in the human world.” -Abdu’l-Bahá
11. Margarita Laso - “Viva Vargas Torres” (Putumayo Latin Playground) (00:41:09-00:44:20)

14. Native Roots - “Unity” (Most High) (00:51:16-00:54:55)
Roman Orona (Host) (00:54:55-00:57:29) “Nothing has been created without a special destiny, for every creature has an innate station of attainment . . . The divine teachers desire man to be educated that he may attain to the high rank of his own reality, the deprivation of which is the rank of perdition . . . man needs the light of the Holy Spirit . . . When we come to the estate of man, we find his kingdom is vested with a divine superiority. Compared to the animal, his perfection or his imperfection is superior . . . Yet if man remain content in an undeveloped state viewed from the point of capacity he is the lowest of creatures. If he attains unto his heritage through divine wisdom, then he becomes a clear mirror in which the beauty of God is reflected; he has eternal life and becomes a participator of the sun of truth. This is to show you how considerable are the degrees of human achievement. The aim of the prophet of God is to raise man to the degree of knowledge of his potentiality and to illumine him through the light of the kingdom, to transform ignorance into wisdom, injustice into justice, error into knowledge, cruelty into affection and incapability into progress. In short, to make all the attainments of existence resplendent in him.” -Abdu’l-Bahá

THE INDIGENOUS CAFE PODCAST INTRO HONOR/HONOUR “Then is is clear that the honour and exaltation of man cannot reside solely in material delights and earthly benefits. This material felicity is wholly secondary, while the exaltation of man resides primarily in such virtues and attainments as are the adornments of the human reality. These consist in divine blessings, heavenly bounties, heartfelt emotions, the love and knowledge of God,” (the creator) “the education of the people, the perceptions of the mind, and the discoveries of science. They consist in justice and equity, truthfulness and benevolence, inner courage and innate humanity, safeguarding the rights of others and preserving the sanctity of covenants and agreements. They consist in rectitude of conduct under all circumstances, love of truth under all conditions, self abnegation for the good of all people, kindness and compassion for all nations, obedience to the teachings of God,” (the creator) “service to the heavenly Kingdom, guidance for all mankind, and education for all races and nations. This is the felicity of the human world! This is the exaltation of man in the contingent realm! This is eternal life and heavenly honour!” -Abdu’l-Bahá (00:00:00-00:02:45)

Roman Orona (Host) (00:20:00-00:21:07) INTEGRITY “…Let the light of truth and honesty shine from your faces so that all may know that your word, in business or pleasure, is a word to trust and be sure of. Forget self and work for the whole…If a man in his own home doth not treat his relations and friends with entire trustworthiness and integrity, his dealings with the outside world-no matter how much trustworthiness and honesty he may bring them-will prove barren and unproductive. First one should order one’s own domestic affairs, then attend to one’s business with the public.” -Abdu’l-Bahá

Roman Orona (Host) (00:40:00-00:42:04) COMMITMENT “The darkness of this gloomy night shall pass away. Again the Sun of Reality will dawn from the horizon of the hearts. Have patience, wait but do not sit idle; work while you are waiting; smile when you wearied with monotony; be firm while everything around you is being shaken; be joyous while the ugly face of despair grins at you; speak aloud while the malevolent forces of the nether world try to crush your mind; be valiant and courageous while men all around you are cringing with fear and cowardice. Do not yield to the overwhelming power of tyranny and despotism. Serve the cause of democracy and freedom. Continue your journey to the end. The bright day is coming. The nucleus of the new race is forming. The harbinger of the new ideals of international justice is appearing. The trees of hope will become verdant; the copper of scorn and derision will be transmuted into the gold of honor and praise; the arid desert of ignorance will be transformed into the luxuriant garden of knowledge; the threatening clouds shall be dispelled and the stars of faith and charity will again twinkle in the clear heaven of consciousness.” -Abdu’l-Bahá

We must leave behind all save what is necessary for the needs of today, nor attach ourselves to any form or ritual which is in opposition to moral evolution.” -Abdu’l-Bahá

THE INDIGENOUS CAFE PODCAST INTRO “There are two ways of healing sickness, material means and spiritual means. The first is by the treatment of physicians; the second consisteth in prayers offered by the spiritual ones to God and in turning to Him. Both means should be used and practiced.” -Abdu’l-Bahá (00:00:00-00:01:12)
1. Injunuity - “Cornwoman” (Fight For Survival) (00:01:12-00:04:12)

5. Southern Boys - “Grand Entry” (Live At St. Croix) (00:16:30-00:20:00)
Roman Orona (Host) (00:20:00-00:21:02) “O thou distinguished physician!…Praise be to God that thou hast two powers: one to undertake physical healing and the other spiritual healing. Matters related to man’s spirit have a great effect on his bodily condition. For instance, thou should impart gladness to thy patient, give him comfort and joy, and bring him to ecstasy and exultation. How often hath it occurred that this hath caused early recovery. Therefore, treat thou the sick with both powers. Spiritual feelings have a surprising effect on healing nervous ailments.” -Abdu’l-Bahá
6. Solawa & Moe Clark - “Sacred Stones” (Tempo) (00:21:02-00:25:17)
7. Lila Downs - “Malinche” (Una Sangre (One Blood)) (00:25:17-00:29:13)

Roman Orona (Host) (00:40:00-00:40:45) “We should all visit the sick. When they are in sorrow and suffering, it is a real help and benefit to have a friend come. Happiness is a great healer to those who are ill…This has a greater effect than the remedy itself. You must always have this thought of love and affection when you visit the ailing and afflicted.” -Abdu’l-Bahá

14. Fawn Wood ft. Randy Wood & R. Carlos Nakai - “Remember Me” (Kikāwiynaw) (00:50:56-00:55:00)
Roman Orona (Host) (00:55:00-00:57:26) “Illnesses which occur by reason of physical causes should be treated by doctors with medical remedies; those which are due to spiritual causes disappear through spiritual means. Thus an illness caused by affliction, fear, nervous impressions, will be healed more effectively by spiritual rather than by physical treatment. Hence, both kinds of treatment should be followed; they are not contradictory. Therefore thou shouldst also accept physical remedies inasmuch as these too have come from the mercy and favor of God, Who hath revealed and made manifest medical science so that His servants may profit from this kind of treatment also. Thou shouldst give equal attention to spiritual treatments, for they produce marvelous effects.” -Abdu’l-Bahá
