Paul as the Author of “The River of Life”
About his book, Paul writes:
“The River of Life came from the dream in 1972, and it is from this dream that I quietly began my journey into Spirit. The book that you hold in your hands and the Teachings found within may very well take root in your heart. This book is Spiritual. It was written from the heart. In these pages, you may find a key, a key that can open a doorway to discovering many secrets, including ways to build a Spiritual connection with Nature-and all of Life. And in these pages, you may also find your connection with your High Self and your Soul. Here too, is an opportunity to further your relationship with your Faith. Yet, this is not a book on religion. However, the teachings that I share here will complement anyone’s belief system. I do not lead you by the nose in this book. Instead, my hope is to Empower You. Therefore, consider me as a doorman for your Spiritual Journey…one who will help guide you as you heal, mend, cure, explore and grow deeper into your personal Sacred Path.”
Founder – Church of the Wheel, based in Idaho, USA.
Paul – who brought Nature as the Church to the hearts of many.
Church of the wheel was an initiative started by Paul to create a community based on the ways of the nature and the Sacred Medicine Wheel.
Words from Paul about the Church
Church of the Wheel is not your ordinary Church. Here, there is no Dogma. There is no “Preaching”.
Instead, you shall find a Pathway, a Road…A Road that belongs to You. It is yours and only yours. It is the Path of your Soul.
Here you will find a place that opens the doors to your own Divinity.
The Teachings I share are based on those of the Medicine Wheel.
The Wheel is also a response to my Inner Calling. This is a Call from Spirit to share, assist, guide, and Act with Compassion to All my Relations.
The Church of the Wheel is not your typical Church. The word “Church” is more of a label of a place where people Gather, usually with structure and readings that have been passed down (and modified). Instead, with the Church of the Wheel, consider it a Sacred Circle. We are not bound by four walls or dogma. Instead, this is a path, a Way of BEing, a Way of living your life. For the Path you walk belongs to you. It is yours, though ideally, you live in accordance with the needs, desires and Guidance of your Soul. We talk. We share. We consider. We walk. We speak of Soul and Soul Growth and Soul Purpose.
Therefore, The Wheel focuses on the Journey of your Soul. Here, you are invited to engage your Highest Self. What is shared in these pages may accompany you on your Spiritual Journey. I Bless you for the steps you have taken, and for the precious steps that await.
This is a place that opens doorways; these Traditions present you with a deeper relationship with Life, your Soul, the Creator, or Great Mystery. The footsteps you walk belong to you. Though we may share the road together, you own your footsteps.
In this Way, you take 100% Full Responsibility for your Life.
This is a Way of Empowerment.
It is a Way of the Spiritual Warrior.
Paul conducted weekly Gatherings live on Zoom every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. Mountain Time. He conducted these sessions live during his stay in Burley, Idaho). The link to the recordings of all the church of the wheel gatherings that he conducted is as below:
Standing Deer Stories
(The Standing Deer stories came to Paul during his stay at a Vipasana Center in Gujarat in the year 2015 while looking at the paint which was peeling off from the wall. His vipasana stay was also rich in his shamanic experiences)
About Standing Deer
By Paul Hinsberger
In early 2016, I was presented with a gift from Spirit: I was given Guidance to write a series of short stories based on a young boy named Standing Deer, who, in later life, will become a Medicine Man. He is from the Arapaho People of Colorado.
The stories are filled with teachings. This is actually the first story—the gifted story—that I share with you here. The collection is intended to be told in the oral tradition, or they may be read. Do share this with your children, grandchildren, and in your places of worship.
May these words fill fly straight into your heart.
Paul – The Sacred Elder
Paul started writing a book called “The Sacred Elder – Wisdom for all Ages”.
He very fondly describes in the book, who an Elder truly is. Read on :-
An Elder is not defined by age. You see, an Elder is someone special. Yet, an Elder usually will not think about themselves as being “special” and therefore, humility is a part of this.
For the sake of discussion, let’s consider an Elder as someone who has lived life in a Good Way and has learned from the experience. And as an Elder, they are willing to share their Wisdom with others. Elders do this freely, however you need to ask them first. Elders usually don’t intervene until you are floundering and on your final gasps of breath. Then they will step in and offer you a hand. If you take that offered hand, you have better be ready for what is coming your way!
Are they old? Usually. But Wisdom is found at any age. How many wizened Souls have you seen in the eyes of an infant?
But an Elder is different.
This is not Aunt Madge who will stick her nose into your life, poke around in there and then tell you what she thinks you should do.
Nope, Aunt Madge certainly isn’t an Elder.
An Elder, only with permission, will share their insights—based on their years of Living in a Good Way—and offer their words to you as Gifts. They recognize that you have the Gift of your Free Will, and they encourage you to use it. Therefore, Elders provide us with recommendations, not hard and fast rules.
Elders will Empower you. They will support you. And they are not afraid to hit you over the head with a stick if you need it. Don’t ask an Elder for the Truth if you are not ready for what may come your way. However, if you have a Strong Spiritual Warrior in you, you will treasure each heart beat that you spend with an Elder.
The Intention behind this book is to open up the doorway within all of us to become Elders. This is done through many lessons and subtle teachings.
I am a deeply Spiritual man, and I follow these ancient teachings with deep honor and respect. I walk a Sacred Path known as The Red Road and the words that I am about to share are words from my heart.
Though my fingers are typing, much of what you are about read will actually be the words of my beloved, primary Upper Level Guide. I shall refer to him as Grandfather. In actuality, he is a Spiritual Ancestor, not a Blood relation. He is my Great-Great-Grandfather. Earlier this year, he said; “Grandson, you are now stepping into the Path of an Elder. I have many words to say on this. It is time for you to write another book.”
You will also hear the words of his beautiful wife, a very loving woman who shares the Wisdom of Women. Her voice touches the heart, and for the men here, she has much to say, so best you carefully read her teachings!
Grandfather is very much, my Sacred Elder. When he speaks here, you will find his words are soft yet strong, tender yet grounded. His words, much like mine, are full of sub-textural messages. And when he speaks, I listen with 1000% of my BEing, for I know his words are True.
Regardless of your age, read all that is here. Like I said, doorways will open—should you allow them to do so!
Enjoy the Journey that awaits!
(Paul travelled to the other world before completing his very special book, the guidance for which he received in the foothills of Himalayas in Mukteshwar)
We are sharing with you some wisdom nuggets from the manuscript that he left behind.
