‘Living Life The Nishiiyuu Way’

Brief Summary

What is Human Development?

“The basic purpose of development is to enlarge people’s choices. In principle, these choices can be infinite and can change over time. People often value achievements that do not show up at all, or not immediately, in income or growth figures: greater access to knowledge, better nutrition and health services, more secure livelihoods, security against crime and physical violence, satisfying leisure hours, political and cultural freedoms and sense of participation in community activities. The objective of development is to create an enabling environment for people to enjoy long, healthy and creative lives.”

Mahbub ul Haq – United Nations

Human Development Is All About Choices

The greatest gift of a human being is their gift to choose.

The Western way of choosing is on the basis of environment and conditions surrounding the individual. That is not really a choice. At the most, they are just alternatives or alternates between this or that or multiple choices. This is not the freedom of choice.

The Nishiiyuu Way or the Eastern Way is the freedom to choose without depending on conditions. The Nishiiyuu Way says that the individual creates his or her environment and conditions because every individual is the individuation of one Spirit and therefore not limited by environment and conditions.

The Nishiiyuu Way

The Nishiiyuu Way of healing is going back to the roots where the strength of the individual comes from the Rites of Passage in the ancient way which created their mind set in the pre-contact era.

Their mental and physical health was robust, they were in harmony with their environment and they were economically independent. Everybody owned property and everybody had responsibility.

The principles of the Rites of Passage the Nishiiyuu Way is to be applied in relation to today’s world of instant communications and instant gratification and in the world of social media and virtual existence.

The purpose of this program is to create a new mindset, the Nishiiyuu Way, the Wisdom of which is to be transferred and transmitted by the Elders to the Youths.

Situation As It Stands Today

Living in the Shadows

Statistics in health and education reveal that the youths are too disempowered. The youths are caught in the shadows of the new world and the old world. This is one of the causes of disempowerment. They almost live in the twilight zone between the innovative and creative world of today and the old world and the pre-internet and pre-windows time of yesterday.

They have full access to the virtual world and sometimes watch it as they would watch a TV show without playing an active role in it. They use it for communicating and for socializing. Very rarely do they participate in it as the youth of the rest of Canada and the U.S.A. for building family and Nations.

Causes of Unexpressed Frustrations

They see the pathway to the new world and they know they can walk on the pathway to success but success needs purpose as the vehicle to carry them to a destination. They are looking for purpose. This program will help them find their purpose the Nishiiyuu Way.

When the youth has no purpose the path way to success and to a changed life is inaccessible and then they tend to focus on wrath and on nursing their memories which develops disturbances in their environment.

The Elders Advice

The Elders of Eeyou/Eenou have recognized that the mindset of the youth has to be changed.

A new mindset on the principles of Nishiiyuu has to be developed to find purpose and meaning in life which will recreate and empower every youth to be leaders of tomorrow while deeply rooted in their philosophy, the Nishiiyuu way of life.

They will have choices and have destinations to arrive at.

Personality Building

The purpose of this program is to transfer to the youth the wisdom of the Nishiiyuu Way and be empowered by it. They will live a life of power and purpose, and handle adversities with grace, fortitude and resolve.  They will also develop unflinching determination to succeed.

The Focus of the Program

The Nishiiyuu Way Personal Development Program focuses on the Rites of Passage with the 4 Step Path to develop in the youth a new personality, a Nishiiyuu personality of courage, bravery, valour, tenacity, resolve, fortitude, decision and will, the very backbone of the Nishiiyuu way of life.

The process of developing the new personality of the youth is to enable them to recognize:

1)      To know that their own culture is as great as all the other cultures.

2)      The depths of their culture will enable them to withstand adversities and to grasp opportunities.

3)      They will develop increased pride and respect for their own culture not because it belongs to them but because it is the truth. That their culture empowers them to withstand prejudice and empower them to be whatever they want to be and do and have.

4)      They will discover self-identity and will promote their identity to the world today so that they can interact with other cultures more effectively. We live in a very small world today. We live locally but deal with the world globally.

5)      They will also be eager to learn and understand other cultures while staying firmly rooted in the foundation of their own culture.

6)      This program is focused to give anyone who follows it the power to set purpose, create vision, and manifest their vision.

7)      To be able to set vision not from the limitations of the past but from the freedom of the Nishiiyuu Ways:

a)      Freedom from all limitations that has kept them in the house of blame, judgement of past conditioning.

b)      A breakthrough to be made with developing a new mind, a Nishiiyuu Way mind. A new mindset as the Elders has advised.

c)      Will create leaders with vision to participate in today’s world of skyrocketing growth. To become innovative and creative and create a new world so that they can stand on an equal footing with the most advanced Nations.

d)      They will be able to maintain their mental balance and calmness in the midst of immense change they face every day of their life.

Infrastructure of the Training Program

The Personal Development Program with Nishiiyuu content will follow the 4 Step Path of Universal Personal Development

1)      Right Understanding

The first step before we take any action or set goals or purpose, we must have a clear understanding of the principles and philosophy that we are going to apply, the power that comes with it, the strengths and limitations of it.

The Nishiiyuu Way of life and how it was lived before is to be understood. This will give insight into self-identity and the power of the individual in relation to the environment and circumstances. This understanding will be the cornerstone and the foundation to set vision and goals.

2)      Developing Purpose

They will set goals and visions the Nishiiyuu Way

3)      Right Speech (Unspoken Speech, Thought and Spoken Thought)

Speaking kindly, acting kindly, living not only for oneself but for the welfare of all. Thought and word to be maintained in harmony with vision and purpose.

4)      Right Actions and Conduct

All our actions and behavior should be in harmony with purpose. In thought, word and deed to live the Nishiiyuu Way.

Creating the Nishiiyuu Mindset for Today’s World

Outcome of the 5 Day Session

Awaken, Inspire and Build

Awakening the Power Within

Getting the Agreement

First day awakes the individual to his own potential, The Nishiiyuu Way. Then with this new awakening they see the power that they already have had at their disposal to build a successful life.

Then they realize and believe and make an agreement with themselves that their life is under their control and not under anybody else’s. They agree to take charge of their life. They own their own time and they have mastery over their lives and careers.

“I am the Master of my fate. I am the Captain of my soul.”

-          Invictus by William Ernest Henley
