Backward Dancing with the Art of Dialogue
Language is one of the "foundations of every culture".
Tales with Grandmother Rosa Marguerita
Preface:
There was a time called the 4th Sun… the Peoples that had long living memories agreed that time-space is a cosmological relationship with the seen and unseen, form no form, of living conscious life and this loving expression of All Life. The time-space of the 4th Sun lasted 5,125 years and there will another cycle in the 5th Sun.
During the last 5,125 years it was known that a great imbalance would occur and much destruction to the Life Ways of the People would happen. At one time all of the People's knew that language, is the tonality and resonance of how two-legged's give voice, with the Alchemy of Creation. The languages are birthed from the living Life Ways that are inner and interconnected to their relationship with All Life, and are inner and inter connected to their cultural Cosmo-visions.
During the 4th Sun a people came from across the waters to Turtle Island. Their language was used for violence and born from thousands of years of living with limited and oppressive worldviews, both within themselves, each other and toward everyone they came in contact with. They developed many new sciences from these languages that took them further and further into objectification, subjugation and attempts to control the Natural Laws and Original Instructions of Creationing. They also created a religion to teach people to acquiesce their cultural spiritual sovranty with Creationing, by putting someone, ideologies, and things between themselves and their direct relationship with Creationing. This created spiritual hierarchal matrixes of belief and people forgot that Creationing is sentient energy and the words are the resonances of Creationing's living Dance with All Life.
"There is only one language of Massau and everyone can speak this language."
~ Dawahongva, Hopi
++++++
There was a time when nearly all languages with roots in the living cosmology of Natural Law and the Original instructions were gone. People were unhappy and fought with each other. Even though nearly everyone understood and spoke the two or three of common languages that had replaced their original languages, they still could not understand each other because these common languages (english, spanish and french) did not have their linguistic roots of the People's cultural Life Ways that inner and interconnected the People with Creationing. Often speaking these bridge languages triggered their generational trauma. Yet some people began to give great care and awareness to how they spoke in these bridge languages.
One day Coral Blossom, was very sad and praying with this. So she went on a walk to gather some wild blooming Chamomile to give to her Grandma and ask her what to do. As Coral Blossom walked, she sang and hummed a gratitude song to the flowers, birds, to Mother Earth, and All Life, until she came to a small hill with lots of Chamomile. She smiled and gave her offering and prayer to Flower Nation. The sweet scent of the flowers calmed her as the little white suns gathered into a small handful in the red cloth for her Grandma.
When Coral Blossom came to her Grandmother's path, Grandmother Rosa was already sitting on her front porch with a pot of hot water waiting for her. Coral Blossom, giggled and skipped the rest of the way, coming into a loving hug with her Grandma. "Hi Grandma, i knew you were listening, and waiting for me!" she said with a smile radiating from her heart's love, as they kissed and she slipped the Chamomile Flower bundle into her Grandma's hand.
"ohhh with gratitude!" Grandmother smiled when she saw the fresh flowers for their tea, and then gave a round offering to the hot water. "Yes deer one, we knew you were coming, come sit, lets learn about the Art of Dialogue today."
"Grandmother Rosa, what are we to do, everyone is still fighting, they do not understand each other, how can we realize the One Great Peace, if we can not listen, understand and communicate with each other?"
"I know Granddaughter, let us dream a different dream." For a while the two sat quietly, looking into the clear turquoise sky, not saying a word. Then a few little Hummingbird clouds puffed up and flitted across the Sky. Then a few more larger Coyotes scampered across the Sky, and then some big roaming Buffalo began to gather and Dance with long wispy Eagle wings above them. It was then that Grandmother poured them both, cups of tea.
"Granddaughter, if language has been used for violence it can be shared for Peace. In changing the language, the culture will change." Grandma began.
"How is that Grandmother?"
" All cultures give their language meaning, and show-experience meaning with and through living their Life Ways. This is part of our understanding individually and collectively. Same for a family. If we define our own meanings to their words, and teach our language's, word by word and seed these words and phrases into the colonial culture's language…., even if they do not know yet that these words can only be fully understood by living the Life Ways these sounds resonate beauty and clarity of thought… the living resonance and tonality of our language's living consciousness is also strengthened. Also if they speak these words, their Spirit's hear and feel this, and it will help them wake up….maybe even come to learn from us the harmonious Life Ways to live. …. consider it like backward dancing into their worldview. if our Cosmovision comes from and gives to our inner and inter relationship with Creationing, and gives form to our Life Ways, and is the voice and song of our Being's languages …well Creationing goes both ways, it is reciprocal. So what makes us think we can not make positive changes by seeding and teaching our languages to others? Actually, this has been happening for some time.
You see, what happens when we sit and talk to Sky through our listening hearts and the language of the Cloud Nation comes?" Grandmother giggled.
"Better than tv, isn't it?" Coral Blossom giggled too. "However some think that the colonial world will dilute our meaning because they have no real context to understand it."
"Hmmm, yes i know Granddaughter, yet this diminishing thought is from of fear. Massau's languages that were given to us are more beautiful and powerful than fear because they are part of the living Natural Laws and Original Instructions we were given to caregive.
See, their dictionaries are obsolete as soon as they are published because the power of any language really comes from those who speak, give voice to it. The colonial culture teaches that their power comes from their educational institutions and the written word. They often think words in print are truth. This is not truth. Languages are living sound, resonance and vibration of consciousness. Listen to some of the most powerful voices, they do not need written text…or listen to poetry or people who break every one of their written language rules…. consider that the colonial world is just their nightmare of story, that they made up…. we can live, write, sing, dance, speak our story, and if it is one of beauty, the People will come to learn this because they are tired of unhappiness and suffering. The Spirit that lives within all of us knows the song and resonance of Truth's Love."
"This makes sense Grandmother, and what about the Art of Dialogue?"
" The Art of Dialogue comes when we Listen without fear Granddaughter. Listening is half of the dialogue, and one can not truly Listen with an agenda and time table for an objective self serving outcome. The greater good for All Life and each other must be considered. Listening happens when language is not used as a weapon, rather that it is understood as part of voice which is sound and the resonance of what we create together."
"hmmm, this sounds like the colonial worldview would understand, why is this not happening?"
"When the mind is also inner and inter connected with the heart and All the Senses, one is also inner and inter connected to Awareness's Listening. The colonial world only hears from the seen-body senses, what they forgot a Being is able to experience their senses in the un-seen. Some even think that their thoughts are consciousness or sentience, like they are the mind, the mind is a very powerful organ of the body, just like every other organ our beautiful form has. Some forgot that we have Nine senses. See, Feel, Touch, Taste, Smell, Hear, Intuition that comes from Knowing, Thinking that comes from Knowledge, and Dreaming that comes from the Art of our Life Ways with Creationing…and that all these senses exist in both the seen and unseen, form no form, of All that Is. This in part is what makes us People, or Beings, rather than hu-man doings."
"i feel overwhelmed Grandmother, Mother Earth needs us to live in harmony with her" Coral Blossom looked sad again, feeling that decolonization of billions of people was not happening fast enough.
" ahhhh Granddaughter don't get all caught up in all these explanations and labels …. remember Uncle Albert always said ' when we pray in this way, it is So'…. well we are the living consciousness, the Life Ways and Prayer in Motion caregiven and lived from long ago, is now, and will be. So care for the Dreamseeds, and share them. All who will Listen will also share too, like Chamomile flowerings or a passing Cloud Nation's thunder." Just as Grandmother finished her saying, a few drops of Rain began to kiss them.
Coral Blossom hugged and rocked in her Grandma Rosa's arms for a while, then their eyes sparked with each other, with smiles and kisses that gave safe journey for her walk home.
