Prayers and Muses: Language and Culture

Image by Mutha-Wit

Making cornmeal and tobacco prayer offerings to the rising sun this morning... from the language of Spirit that is an energetic Breath of Lifeflow, like Water, that gives shape to culture and is inner relational with All Life.

Praying about the Prophecies, about the future generations ...what does this mean when the Prophecies of the Hopi say that "we will live as One People again and have a common language"?  

My Hopi dad said to me "There is only one language of Massau (Great Mystery), and everyone can speak it."  This is what I was praying about this morning... and praying about loving someone who speaks a different language than my People …we are from different tribes ...what is this language of Spirit? How do we cross this bridge? I was raised with my culture and language, he was raised with his culture and language ...so we learn learn little by little through going to ceremony together, sharing feasts and cultural activities, and learning words and phrases of each other's languages ...these "doings" that speak the language of prayer, song, Life Ways that guide us to live a good life with All Life and each other....my Heart has no boundary for the love I feel ... so while we speak the bridge language of english for common things to get done... what is this culture and language that we are learning from each other? 

Spirit does not see you as color, shape, size, gender, language, money, property, prestige....Spirit only sees and feels the Beauty in how Great Mystery creates you. While we cry for the preservation of our languages, we also create divisions in our minds separating who can understand and who can not, because we only listen with our human ears ... I remember my Lakota Uncle who said, "Learn the songs and prayers in the old way - by showing up for the ceremonies. We have no books, or tapes, so you show up and participate".  

When I was growing up anyone who showed up, willing to learn, with a good heart, was taught by listening, observing, experiencing and participating. After a while the Elders would ask the youngers, to sing a song, take care of some part of the doing, or take time to talk with us, answer questions, give guidance. The Elders were generous, protective before and after the "1978 American Indian Freedom of Religion Act", and never turned anyone away… yet these Life ways were and are not a "religion", they are Life Ways.

I remember one time some men showed up from the village and they were drunk and angry and hurting. We were clearing the area for a new Sweatlodge, Ceremonial arbor and camp area. These men said we could not be there, it wasn't our land, they did not care if the Tribal Council said it was ok to be there, and to leave. Our Elder at the moment was somewhere else getting some more tools. These men were very angry. Our small group of youngers, immediately laid down our shovels and rakes, and formed a circle. I could feel the tension rising in the young men of our circle, in response to the angry words of exclusivity that the other men were saying. So I began to pray. The angry men, hushed …it did not matter what language I was praying in, it was the same language spoken to the trees, the animals, All Life, the Water, Air, Fire and Mother Earth and Father Sky. Then after my Prayer, another person in our circle prayed, and then another, and so on. When the prayers were all made, our Elder "appeared", and went over to the the angry men, and told them they were welcome to come to help prepare for Ceremony, however they would need to sober up. The angry men left. After everything was prepared for Ceremony, only one returned to come watch, as we sang, danced and prayed for four days without food or water.

If we are to continue like my Elders, to teach others, language, Ceremony, Life Ways to anyone who is willing to learn, and to show up to participate, will this make us weaker or able to understand one another better, or know that we are more the same than different? Or that maybe we teach others so that they can remember who they are. Imagine if, like my Elders we do not care anymore what they "look" like, because we are not Great Mystery, we do not know where our ancestors decide to be born, or to what family, or color, or gender. Colonialism has destroyed so many matrilineal linages because of trading women and girls, and then there were boarding schools, and imaginary boarders and enforced prisoner of war camps, keeping us apart from one another...arranged marriages, or marriages made because it was thought the children might have a better chance of surviving. Will the pain and suffering from loss of language and culture be healed? .... in the end when Mother Earth decides the beginning - end - and beginning of her cycles...who will be the children of the future generations that will be able to "recognize" each other beyond stereotypes, and colonialism that has torn the fabric of how we once were relationally? 
Will they know and choose to be Mitakuye Oyasin? 
Will they know this language of Spirit? 
Will they listen and see each other in Spirit and who they are beyond the ordinary senses? 
Will they no longer acquiesce their spiritual and cultural sovranty to politicians and ideas about what is means to be made as a two-legged? 


With gratitude for listening to my musings and prayers this morning about language, culture and loving someone who does not speak my People's language, nor I his...yet somewhere in the Spirit of Ceremony, Life Ways and Heart, is a prayer for the One Great Peace to be realized.

ACTION: Messages from The Four Elements of Change

Dear Relatives, 
These messages came with the request that we share these messages far and wide. We know the prophecies, we know that we can change the warnings within them for a Peaceful world for our children and the generations to come. We know that this will take us all working together, so please speak to your Elders and relatives about these matters ~ Smoke and Prayers.

A Call to all Womyn:
WE are asking that ALL Womyn re-claim their Birthright as Lifegivers, and get ready to take Her rightful place among humanity to lead the Way to Peace. Every man has a mother, aunt, wife, sister, daughter...it is up to you to Show, Speak and Lead the Way for Peace.  It is time for healing, and to find solutions for the next seven generations.

A Call to Occupy:
All you Occupy People, please network this out, Now.  We do not have time to say "pretty please", or care about your dis-respects of the past. You are broadcasters, so do your job, put your egos away, and care about Mother Earth and All Life. Thank you ~ BearSense

A Call to Humanity:
From a Bear's perspective, the two-leggeds need to WAKE UP, SPEAK UP, STEP UP, to END destruction and WAR.
With gratitude to All ~ BearSense

First Message:



A MESSAGE FOR HUMANITY - That has come through our ceremony world wide. No one person can claim ownership to this knowledge for if they do it can destroy the individual and all those that deny it's truth will destroy themselves in their efforts to hide this as we all will see their darkness together. The truth stands alone - until WE ALL share it - that is now our task and please spread this quickly before it can be stopped. 

It is time we all understand why there are so few elders and adepts remaining. Therefore it is important to read this entire message and when you do you will know for yourself what it means when you say - Mitakuaye Oyasin or the true meaning of these two simple words." We are all related" because of where we truly come from.

Inside humanity is a memory of our true Home - where each human being comes from - a Blue star beyond this dimension of our present understanding.Long ago at the time of the great flood a disaster wiped out more than 89% of humanity. This was the time the Hopi spoke of when the last world was destroyed by the flood and those that survived went under ground in an effort to preserve what they could. The flood story is consistent around the world in all cultures and spiritual teachings.

When they emerged after the waters returned to the oceans, the old ones - called the Stone People shaped their world using stone for their buildings that we see today as the pyramids and megalithic structures around this world. They journeyed in the four directions to regather the tribes. In the times before the GREAT FLOOD, humanity did not kill to survive as all that was needed was provided in the harvest of the seasons.

The darkness begin to grow through fear and human consciousness de-evolved as we began to kill other living creatures to live. They began to eat the flesh of other beings taking their fears and trauma of death into our own being. Through the centuries the old ones who survived, died off but they knew this would happen so they left messengers and messages behind them around the world. The messages were carried in the only way they could be in ORAL tradition - for in that way the story of who we were / are could never be lost.

It was the indigenous populations, and ancient adepts in the remotest places in this world that carried those old teachings as this post speaks. The elders as we call them are those who walked the path - some call the Red Road - other have others names for it in their own cultures. As the population grew and with it fear and the darkness caused by the "not knowing and remembering" of who we are; the darkness took over and used humanity as slaves to this ignorance.

The people knew there was more beyond death as they had seen those recently passed over return to tell those behind they were all right, not to worry and to seek out those that remembered. Time passed and there was the rise of what is called "priest craft and patriarchal religions that claimed to hold the knowledge of god and were the "only" ones to lead humanity to salvation. They also in doing this they suppressed the divine feminine of Humanity and broke the balance of CREATION for all living things. All of humanity does not need salvation - it needs to awaken from the sleep of forgetfulness. Time passed and those who claimed to have the way took over the world using these religions and exploited our desperate longing to remember and know what lies beyond the death of our bodies.

They used religion and greed to dominate through fear, that lead to wars and further destruction of our world. Today we stand at a very critical time and once again our world is at the edge of total collapse caused by those who have abandoned all understanding and claimed that humanity has no soul or spirit as we call it in the old ways. It is not a soul or spirit in that understanding, those are but words to describe a memory that we are eternal and a part of the Creator or the ALL; where Great Mystery is the journey of experiencing Creation from our own view.

We originally came to this Blue planet to experience Creation from a first person perspective - your view - so that when we returned HOME and all that we saw and did would nourish creation and the essence of the Creator. Throughout time some were capable of crossing over and coming back and are called prophets or visionaries - such as Napi - White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman- Jesus - Buddha - etc. where each culture has their own such people. The other way is through our medicine people - our holy people who were able to travel between worlds. But each time one of these people returned they threaten the reality and control of the darkness and were killed or they had to go to the most remote places and live in seclusion as they knew they would be killed also. This happened because they were found out by the things they did by healing others and walking with pure compassion capable of moving stone, crossing the water, stepping through flames, walking with the HEART OF COMPASSION FOR ALL LIFE and did what all natural human beings can do - but the world has forgotten. Each time one of these people returned they were destroyed by that fear and that darkness.

This time it has to be different as the darkness will not let go of greed and power and as a result this world can be destroyed. Therefore it is your job to release this message. This message is all that is necessary for you to awaken yourself. If you gather the people and tell them this and before you do - use your ceremonies in the old ways and quiet their minds and then tell them this - they will awaken. When they do something special will happen - what some call mind-speak or telepathy - a hidden part of every human - that we call -" I just know"

Now we all know and this time it must be brought forward by the Women of the world - the life givers. it is up to us all to spread this message and tell children - especially our sons to stop killing. ALL of them - you are their mothers and fathers of all the presidents - leaders and men of arms. Each have a mother and father and each of these men are capable of potentially destroying this side of our Creation story.

This information is just from a letter carrier - a messenger - we all are the ones that must do the work. Gather your children and tell them to stop killing to live - that is the paradox of their own making. The only real paradox is in the following phrase.

The only constant in the universe is CHANGE - that is called the Creator's Breath.......of existence for all life.

This is the doorway to Great Mystery or what we see in our children; who have just arrived from the other side of our true existence. They share what we call curiosity and why in the old teachings we say - our children are our teachers from who we inherit our future in the reason and purpose they give us. 

We now have all we need and it must be the Women who lead this awakening to ensure this world will not end and as the next trial of humanity is FIRE . It is the task of all MEN to protect the Women of the world when they stand - MOST IMPORTANTLY through non-violent means. ALL these things you already know and these words are but a memory. That is why this messenger has no name.

Bless you all and no one can claim ownership of this message, in that way we all can finally enjoy the years we all have together to quietly see the world change before we return HOME and say there is hope and a reason to continue to this world.

"Those who live for one another learn that love is the bond of perfect unity."
--Fools Crow, LAKOTA

Remember the words of Rumi - "The wound of humanity is where the light enters". It is time to seal that wound and send that light of love and compassion outward globally. Blessings to us all and the efforts we make to bring the era of unity and peace and close the door on darkness trying to cover us all world wide - WHY ELSE ARE WE ALL HERE AT THIS TIME? 

** (Please note this message is being edited as it goes around the world by teachers and adepts and updated as it continues to travel...watch it grow and change - and see you own reaction change at the same time.)

Second Message:



This where we all need to jump together - FIRST NATION AND ALL ALLIES - this is the true front lines in both issues - Indigenous Sovereignty and the Allies task to stop Canada and China from turning Canada into a resources colony for corporations.

where we all need to truly focus ..is in the NW corner of British Columbia - there are four Nations with no treaties...corrupted officials inside the nations..
The facts ARE that RIGHT NOW the Tahltan are standing against this and the RCMP have moved in with a full encampment. Once again this is a Matriarchal Nation and the elder women are doing what those out in Thunderchild reserve are doing...they are ACTUALLY doing something. 

ALL issues for the Allies and all First Nations are combined in this one action - this is the edge we all need to tell each other about and inform everyone. These four Nations in the NW of British Columbia are literally all that stands between freedom and destruction. That is why they call it the front lines.

Dreaming, Past, Present and Creationing


The "Dreaming" is the awareness and witness, the dialogue with, the inner and inter-connection with the Sentience of All Life. The Dreaming is one of the human senses. The Dreaming is living consciousness -past and future, and creativity/imagining of Creationing in the present -Now. The Dreaming is not limited by time/space. The Dreaming is the ability to Listen and dialogue with any life form, animate or in-animate. The Dreaming is an ability to dialogue without technology. The Dreaming is not linear, or static and is between duality and fluid. The Dreaming has nothing to do with religion. Dreaming is inherently natural within the female of the human species because they are Life-givers. The Dreaming has no gender and dances with creationing in the balance and harmony of All That Is. The Dreaming is the Sentience of Creationing. ALL of the cycles of Creationing are embodied in the Dreaming. The Dreaming is the Alchemy of Creationing, Prana - Life Source.

In the beginning of the last cycle or "world" of which we currently call the Fourth World or the last 5125 years, all People's were inner and interconnected with the Sentience of All Life through the Dreaming. Along with the increase of masculine energies came changes within the cultures of All Peoples, called "the sleep or forgetting". The natural sense of Dreaming, began to decrease, for it is inherently natural in the Life-givers, feminine potentiality. As the masculine principle increased, the feminine Dreaming ability to be embodied decreased. Colonial culture became material and thought directed, and did not listen to the Dreaming Prana and heart. 

Over time Tribes or Peoples of particular regions maintained the Dreaming within their cultures, and even today whole villages or Peoples are still this Way. What was more common is the development of "specialized" abilities within Tribes as their cultures became more complex and diversified. Dreamers were "identified" at early ages and raised in particular manners that would nourish this Way of Being.
The Dreaming People chose to be born within All Peoples, Red, Black, Yellow, White, and were the "receivers and communicators" in service to their People,  to maintain communication and awareness with the People Nation and all other Nations, be they Four Legged, Winged Ones, Swimmers, Crawlers, Standing Ones, Stone, Seen - Unseen, Ancestral, Celestial and so on. 

Over time in the continued increase of masculine resonance came the increase in patriarchal culture or ideologies. As the patriarch increased, the ability to Dream Creation became "coveted" and the "desire" to control the nourishment of dreaming ability began; because it is non-conforming, non-linear, holistically creative and life giving. Ideas that the masculine is the source of creation emerged and began to imprint within the consciousness of the human species and a great war has been waged by logic, reason, knowledge and intellect of the masculine against the inherently feminine realm of the Dreaming, and religions were formed as intercessors between people and Creation's Dreaming. This caused the "separation" or decrease of the communication interceptors of the human being's brain as they became less developed, like under exercised muscles. (I will talk about the human being's brain at another time.) Creationing's Dreaming is the first form of tangible reality.

Because females are made like the Cosmos of Creationing and are naturally interconnected to the Dreaming as Life-givers, so too has there been a war against all females and matrilineal cultures. Within matrilineal cultures there are "rites" for masculine People to develop a healthy relationship with the Dreaming. The Dreaming is now associated with ability to be "healers". Healing is only one aspect of the Dreaming. Today there are matrilineal cultures that maintain these "rites" for both females and males. 
In recent time/space within the Red, Black, Yellow, White, Blue, Brown, and Honey Peoples we still see the domination of masculine or men in the world that maintain "position" because they have participated in some of the "rites" maintained by matrilineal cultures. 

"Positions of patriarch" are maintained by men who do not know the respects and the necessity of their female counterparts as Dreamers, and the "position of patriarch" is maintained by females who continue to give the "position" of the Birth-gift of the Dreaming to men, by believing men's Dreaming is somehow still more important or more valid or that they have more knowing and have better understanding of the Dreaming. It is important that a balanced relationship with men and women be restored, for healthy individuals, families, Tribes and Nations to be realized. The balance is being restored by healthy inner-connections being nourished by men and women Dreamers in the Dreaming. This is also happening as the inner-dialogue and relationship with the feminine and masculine consciousness, culture, past-present-future, is healing and coming into balance. 

The extreme masculine resonance has brought us to the life conditions we are now living. Men are now beginning to ask women, their female counter-parts, the feminine Dreaming, "what are the possibilities? where do we go from here?, how do we heal our relationship with each other ( men and women) and Mother Earth?, what are your 'visions' and how may we support you"? They are also re-membering the Sacred aspect of the masculine as Protector vs Creator. (Please re-member Creation is genderless, "Great Mystery") Sorry, i have not yet met a man that can birth a child, with the exception of men born into female bodies. The masculine principal can birth ideas and build empires outside of any consultation or dialogue with the feminine Dreaming of Creationing, and this in part is why we have a world that is in the condition it is in. Currently there is a gentle rise of feminine awareness within the consciousness of men. They are allowing Her knowing and relationship with the Dreaming to have equal discernment in the navigation in the creationing of tangible reality. Some experience this as awakening to the Divine Father Light nature in a dance of Life with Her, while other's experience it as "competition" between the masculine and feminine principles of creation for fear of loosing their positions of dominance and control.

What is the role of "Protector"? 
We have lived through Four Worlds, we are now entering the Fifth, or 8th Fire. The divine feminine principal of Creation is pregnant, the female human species is pregnant, Mother Earth is pregnant. Each prior World has had a different cosmology and birth. When the feminine is pregnant, when the female is pregnant, the masculine resonance/man "protects" the sacred place, space, cocoon/womb of Creationing, to insure a healthy birth and life of the child/World. Healthy children are born when the female has peaceful, loving, joyful, creative, environments that are nourished and protected. When the feminine/female can devote her Sacred time, to energizing and nourishing the child/world, without "worry or concern" about predators, the birthing process is healthy. This is not to say, that women are not Protectors and Warriors, they are actually the ultimate which are called Mid-wives, for if they were not - the masculine/men species would not be born and carried over to Creationing at forms end. In the same way our Elder Nations have had to become educated in the Colonial paradigm to both survive, and protect their cultures from genocide…. so too have women needed to become colonially educated to survive in a patriarchal world and protect their Dreamseed of Creationing. At this time, more balance and harmony will be experienced when our men step up to support and protect the women, youngers and children - locally and globally - that are directly and tangibly transforming the Colonial construct rather than supporting the predatory lifestyles, ideologies, and behaviors of the colonial construct.

As women and caregivers of Life, over time they have taken on certain patriarchal traits such as competition due to survival mode in a patriarchal world. Feeling the pregnancy of Life and to instinctually want to protect Mother Earth and their own dreams, visions, the child/world from predators is natural. They have learned that "position and hierarchy" is power in a colonial world. If women continue to give their power to colonial patriarchal structures, ideologies, lifestyles of consumerism, education, and "business as usual"…instead of returning the Natural Law, education and governing, we are doomed. The power of the collaboration among women is more powerful than any colonial patriarch, because it is our Birthright as Lifegivers to have the final say in war and peace. Feminine wisdom, love and compassion for all children will transform the world. 

As per the wisdom teachings of the 8th Fire, Eagle Condor, Shambala, Hopi, Mayan, and many others from around the world, we have been and ARE IN THE TIME OF PURIFICATION. At this time we are beginning to see the rise of the feminine Dreaming and with this, the visions and guidance needed at this time to fully birth the Fifth World. We must give gratitude to the many ancestors, women and men who have given their Sacred Time for many decades to insure that these teachings were/are shared with People's outside their cultures and the influence this has had in beginning to change colonial culture.  I can only hope that we are able to pass and awaken enough living memory to those children that have awakened to the fact they are children made of Mother Earth and Father Sky or that they are our re-incarnated ancestors that have chosen at this time to love, protect, and live harmoniously with Mother Earth. Our children want our support, love and hope for a Good Life !

If we look at mainstream culture's idea of "co-creation"…this does not mean that men are still in control and domination.  Within the " awakening oneness" there is diversity, the Dreaming is not homogenized, it is the beauty of the living tapestry of Creation.

Many Elders are "crossing over", it almost feels like a mass exit from Mother Earth. Why? My Dad always told me, "remember who you are and never forget where home is". 
You may have seen this place during the Ceremony on August 25th 2013.
Stay true to Mother Earth, she loves you, you are her children, protect Her and the Lifegivers (women). Do not be afraid to die. Show-up and do all you can to live a simple and good life in harmonious relationship with Mother Earth and All Life. Take care and be generous with one another. There are still olders that are still here, many have opened their doors to welcome any and all youngers who choose to learn the Life Ways of harmony with Creation. 

There are beautiful and vital skills within the Dreaming Life Ways of our Elder Nations that have nourished the foundation of bridge language for western colonial culture to re-member the Dreaming. Within these Elder Nations, there are still some Elder's alive who can recognize who another is and introduce them to Spirit, Prana. They do not "see" you as being simply defined by color, gender, social position, or genetic embodiment. There are also many People all over Mother Earth who are remembering  who they are beyond linear time-space, the Dreaming is "awakening" within them…they are becoming "free", living without boarders within the consciousness of reality.  Many are young people, who are hungry for traditional knowledge and Life Ways of our Elder Nations, and are willing to put the time and energy into creating and living with each other outside the colonial paradigm. They tell me, that they want the old movie of the colonial beast to CHANGE to one of beauty, love, peace, harmony and joy. 

Mi Abuela Rosa Marguerita showed me that the Dreaming is living, and embodied within the Life Ways of the Dreamseed Traditions.

Muses about Hope: A Luna Media Film, the Divine Feminine and the Nohu

HOPE:  http://youtu.be/lVSmLpNK45Q  a Luna Media Film by Catherine Margerin, based on the wisdom tellings of Willy Whitefeather, illustrating the Natural law of Cause and Effect and suggests the path to health and harmony.

Muses: 
I am entirely open to hearing other perspectives, about what I speak of because I am here to learn with you.

If I may speak to some of the beginning images of Hope. 
Circle, Spiral, Seed, the "Nohu", the pregnant wuma. 

The divine feminine is pregnant, all wuma's are pregnant. Our Mother Earth is pregnant. Wuma Niti means the Eternal Life flow of the Source of All Life. Wuma, the feminine and Niti the masculine principles or Life in Balance/harmony. 

During the ebb and flow of time space we and our Mother Earth, her Solar Tribe, the Milk and Honey galaxy and the Cosmos have evolove-olutioned the realms of reality that we are inner and interconnected with and made of. 

Our Cosmos breaths, Our Mother Earth breaths, the dance of the Wuma Niti Breaths, with sentient awareness and intention. 

The Seed, Egg or Nohu within the womb (dark) of Wuma, Mother Earth, and the Cosmos is energized, actionated by the Sun Light, Milk and Honey Light, and I will even go as far as to say "impregnated" by the BlueStar Kachina, both born of the Cosmic Sentient Awareness and Intention of Love's Destiny. 

The Prana, Breath of Life we speak is vitally important, and the reason for : sing, drum, dance, pray the Sacred Language of Beauty of the Heart....

Many years ago I received a healing Dreamvision from a doctoring from an Elder...22 years later I took the Dreamvision of where I was rebirthed to rejoin my Tribe. Yes the Tribe was a 'rainbow' tribe.

This Dreamvision is now a healing Ceremony. 
Now I am going to say something with the greatest of respect, for all of you Beloved's. There is the balance of duality, the seen and unseen, dark and light, night and day, Jaguar and Hummingbird, etc.... One part of the Dreamvision showed what has happened during the last 5125 years of the sub-judication of the Divine Feminine and within the Thoughts of the Masculine and Feminine.

Everything "bad, harmful, hurting, destructive of the shadow realm of not-truth and not-love" was associated with the "dark" the "feminine" and her "womb"... Her womb, is where the Nohu: the Egg of the original instructions, of the New Sun, The New World are.... So, over time hu-man Denial has put all their fears, junk, hurts, lost parts of themselves, etc..." in the Portal of the Cosmic Womb, and the Womb of all Feminine Beingness. See the english language is a real funny thing, because our Elder Nations original languages do not have the relationship with the "dark" that the colonial construct of fabricated reality has created, by it's use and abuse of the language, and breath. We can not perceive the light and all it's radiant colors without the "dark". Language is one of the seedroots of Culture. We can transform the colonial culture through our own sovereignty and responsibility in the communication, and re-definition of it.

So when we go through the portal (birth canal) it will be an easier ride if we heal, let go, transform, cleanse, clear... these not-truths, the illusions, the Shadow, by whatever we need to do personally and collectively for the greater good of All Life. The journey of Truth can be painful. 
So, I ask my Self "What would Love say, What would Love do?"

The language of Beauty is the language of Peace and Love. The language of the Obsidian Blade, cuts the poison out, and can hurt, yet those wounds will be cleansed with compassion and forgiveness and fully healed with love. 
So these generalized terms of "dark", is a dis-service to our selves who speak the bridge language of english and are part of the New World, who chooses a life of balance and harmony with All Life. 

Unless you are all choosing to go to another world where there is no dark of the cosmos, no rest, no ebb and flow, no seasons... Which is fine, because now we can begin a conversation about what is in the Nohu's of original instructions that each of our Wuma's caregive...and let the dialogue for the Creationing and the Ceremonies begin!

I am entirely open to hearing other perspectives, about what I speak of because I am here to learn with you. 


It is vital that we do not succumb to the slumber of forgetfulness during the transition. 
Much Love ~

Decolonization: Chief Seathl's Letter, Dum Diversas, UNDRIP and DRME

There is the storyteller and poet form of "call and response". This is such a post, a collaboration of two people, one living in Lebanon, and the other Turtle Island. These are not just "stories", these posts contain educational reading FACTS, of human his-her-story, and the  results those facts have on the environment, our lifestyles, beliefs, and our relationships.

Environmental degradation began long time ago. It was the scientific fact that global environmentalists tried to face with no success. The environmental awareness famous slogan was and still is “think globally and act locally”.
Politicians, money tycoons and decision makers were never motivated by continuous environmental losses. They actually thought locally and even individually to act globally and make more money. Their industry polluted the soil, the water resources, the rain, the oceans, and the air. Step by step their products and supplies caused the contemporary global warming threat.

Pope Nicholas V issued the Dum Diversas papal decree on 18 June 1452 to bless colonization and slavery stating the following:
"We grant you [Kings of Spain and Portugal] by these present documents, with our Apostolic Authority, full and free permission to invade, search out, capture, and subjugate the Saracens and pagans and any other unbelievers and enemies of Christ wherever they may be, as well as their kingdoms, duchies, counties, principalities, and other property [...] and to reduce their persons into perpetual slavery.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dum_Diversas)

Religious and sectarian hierarchies who were always urging believers to wait for a savior that is sure to appear never took any environmental friendly stands. Religious feasts are becoming mere occasions to widen the markets one year after the other. Consumption of unneeded extra food, drinks, clothes, fireworks, toys, decoration items, gadgets, greeting items, Christmas trees, shoes, bags, etc…. leaves piles of garbage to be stuffed in plastic bags….

In 1855 President Franklin of what we call today The United States of America made a “request” to Chief Seathl of the Suwamish tribe of Indians to “sell” his land to the government. In reply Chief Seathl declared the wisest environmental friendly manifesto titled “Message to the modern world” which was sent to the president. Chief Seathl peacefully tried to raise the environmental awareness of “civilized” aggressive preachers, colonizers, decision makers, money seekers, and their followers with no success.

“You may think that you own God as you wish to own our land” the wise chief stated and clarified that earth can be neither owned nor traded in order for life to flourish and sustain. Extinction of species, deforestation, noise pollution, sight pollution, self harassment, greed, etc… was mentioned to declare the beginning of a new era: the beginning of survival. “Continue to contaminate your bed and you will one night suffocate in your own waste” the message clarified.
Sea level is now rising one moment after the other. This is a global fact. Is it the start of a serious flood that will lead us to reach extinction of the human race? Time is definitely going to tell.

The Decolonize movement is in part about education. The current form of the "Colonial Construct" we are living today was born from Papal Bulls. The Colonial Construct reaches into our lives, beyond politics, broken Treaties and "business".  It was intended from it's inception, to enslave, indoctrinate and domesticate People's minds and hearts. The language was used to create belief systems built on driving a wedge between dualities, and split the inner and interconnection between mind and heart, masculine and feminine, dark and light, us and them...and on it goes in the his-her-story of willingly adopting or un-willingly imposed notions of what is "good or bad". One that has been most detrimental, is the notion that a person needs someone between themselves and the Source of All Life for them to have a relationship with this Great Mystery, which every People around the world has a name for: Massau, Gitchi Manitou, Wakan Tanka, Allah, Buddha, God...  and results in a very schizophrenic culture that can be manipulated to the extremes and for the continuation of genocide and terra-cide. Wars can be fought over Religion, yet Peace is always realized in a Spiritual Life, for there is only one language of the Source of All Life, and everyone can speak it, this language is the Beauty from the Heart.

Another example of the Colonial Construct is the demonizing or making less than, everything feminine. The demonization of the feminine includes our Mother Earth, as she was reduced to a "thing, a resource" to exploit for the Colonial Patriarchal Construct's ideas of what "civilization" is, in being made in "His image". She is in fact a Living Being. Today we are enslaved to the lifestyles, governments, ways of doing business which are threatening our ability to live as a species, and without a healthy relationship with our Mother Earth, and the Elements of Creation: Water, Earth, Air, and Fire, we will perish. We need to no longer acquiesce our cultural-spiritual sovereignty in thinking that something or someone else is going to save us or change the culture of the Colonial Construct. To continue lifestyles that are suicidal to our own lives and All Life, can only mean that the world of the Colonial Construct at it's core foundation, is not-truth. We as a species need to re-learn harmonious relations, for every "dis-ease" is a result of our relationship with Mother Earth, the feminine, and Her marriage with our Father Sun. 

The Colonial Ivory Tower of Education in the "Colonial western industrialized" world, has intensionally omitted the wisdom, knowledge, and voice of who they label as "Indigenous, First People's, Aboriginal". All People's, Red, Black, Yellow, White are "indigenous", and have roots in Universal Natural Laws. It is unfortunate that most "white" people in the United States and Canada, do not know their own colonial history well enough, to know that the Colonial Construct indoctrinated them first, and thus we have a population who forgot an original instruction which is to caregive right relationship with the Element of Fire and Father Sun and thus, exploited the Fire of the Heart of Mother Earth. However our Elders after generations of oppression and genocide, have written Declarations to speak to the Colonial Construct and re-educate our Peoples. Our Elders ask that every man, woman and child learn both UNDRIP:
United Nations Declaration of Indigenous Peoples:  http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/unpfii/documents/DRIPS_en.pdf
and the
Declaration of Rights for Mother Earth  
http://therightsofnature.org/tag/universal-declaration-for-rights-of-mother-earth/.

The voting record for countries who recognize UNDRIP can be found here. Yet remember recognition does not necessarily mean that the government-corporations are upholding and operating by UNDRIP. As you will see, the US and Canada, have voted No.  http://unbisnet.un.org:8080/ipac20/ipac.jsp?

Chief Seathl's Letter, the Dum Diversas and these Declarations are only a small portion of the not-truths, Wisdom and knowledge that is needed to be learned and understood personally and collectively. Please share and talk with your children, your family and friends...about the Colonial Construct and the Wisdom and knowledge that will help us heal. There may be times that in piercing the "veils of illusions", learning to live and integrate this wisdom/knowledge within our lives that anger, fear, and pain will surface. This is to be expected, have courage and do not turn away because Repressing = Depression.  Rather choose to recognize these emotions as opportunities to nurture and energize the compassion, love and forgiveness necessary to heal. If we do not have the truth and wisdom, we will continue to proliferate the Colonial Construct, or may repeat it again. So it is time to listen to the voices, that have gone unheard for far too long, which includes Mother Earth's and the feminine. ~ Decolonize !

America's Secret




Relatives, 
If you are from New Mexico, the "Land of Enchantment, Home of the Atomic Bomb" or anywhere from Wyoming to Arizona, the death and dying from the Nuclear-Military-Industrial-Complex is no "big secret". However what has kept it out of mainstream education, media, or public sight, is the same Colonial-corporatocracies, that have for generations dictated, indoctrinated and domesticated the American people with acts of genocide and terracide, calling it the "American Dream". 

I have a dream that one day the One Great Peace will return. Mother Earth will be given a rest and she may heal, her skin will move and transform, and even birth a New World.. and the Two-leggeds will heal from the Colonial matrix of not-truth illusions, imprinted within their hearts and minds, and become free once again. I dream of a great Ceremony of Life all over the Earth. I even dream the Two-leggeds uniting in their respective regions and rehabilitating with the eco-systems of Life in a good Way. Meanwhile back in the Now ----

Earthworks reports :"According to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, there are currently 26 proposals to start, expand or restart in situ projects in the states regulated by the commission (Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota, New Mexico). Of these, nine will be new operations." 
Read it here:

From a Bear's perspective the Colonial corporatocracy wants ALL of Turtle Island. If they poison all the Waters of Life, there will be nothing left here for us to be able to live our Life Ways. It has never been only about the OIL Boyz….it has been about weapons of mass destruction made in the form of bombs, and nuclear energy, and now Oil's progeny named - KXL and Tarsands to be exact.  The progeny of the Colonial Construct is threatening every form of Life, including the harmonious Elements relationship with Creation: Water, Air, Earth and Fire.  If they take Turtle Island, they could then go from continent to continent as they have been, to take all that is left OR there will be a mighty storm born of Mother Earth's pain. But who are "they"…the Colonial corporatocracy would not be here without our participation, willingly or unwillingly.

I heard a man say that the Womynkind are so powerful at this time, that if she gets upset, she can cause a storm upon Mother Earth because she is made like her and her heart is inner and inter-connected to Mother Earth's Heart. What has been done to Mother Earth has also been done to Womynkind. And Mankind is so powerful that when his heart is broken because he can no longer take care, provide and protect the Womynkind without subjugation to the Colonial Construct…his mind and heart has to split apart, so he too learns and imposes domination and control. This however, is such a simplification of the Colonial Construct of reality and it's many tendrils of not-truths. I have more questions than I do answers. What are the possibilities? 

So, what would happen if Mankind and Womynkind, healed Together. I think that some of our relatives who are Winc'te may have some answers for us. I notice there are far more Womyn that are actively on websites - talking, learning, healing, taking actions, ….is it that the Mankind are out protecting Mother Earth? Are they on the front lines? Are they going out of their way to help a Womyn rise to her calling? Are Mankinds returning from war and going home to the Womynkinds and protecting Mother Earth?

SO….with
- the power of our unified 
- prayer, love, ceremony, healing and actions
- our generosity to help one another decolonize, re-learn and live 
   harmonious  Life Ways
- our courage to become self-determining and responsible
Will we feed everyone where we locally live?
I know I can not this without you.

Mother Earth's Children: Splitting the Sky, Walking Strong


Mother Earth's Children: Splitting the Sky, Walking Strong


This morning I found myself during morning prayers, standing once again in the stillness between the seen and unseen, the shadow and the balance of the dark and light of the Cosmos…a tapestry laid before me of all that Is vibrantly alive. At this time of year the Ceremonies of our respective Life Ways begin, once again to bring everyone together. I remembered my brother telling me that when the Prayer is strong, the Ancestors and Helpers gather all around,…yet just beyond a juxtaposing of life force exists and will try to test one's devotion, mind-heart, faith, commitment, to realize the Prayer into reality. 

In 2012, I blogged about Obama's criminal order of insanity, and asked that other well connected journalists bring the "executive order" to the attention of our Elders, our best Indian Lawyers, to our best Environmental Organizations, and to our Medicine Societies.  Why? Because it is the blueprint that is being acted upon by the Mordor's Beast: Corporatocracy of Insanity. 

I ask you to listen to Democracy Now March 17th 2013, where the Military declared war on everyone and everything the Beast decides are "terrorists". http://youtu.be/pCZV3Dy43tU
Who's sons and daughters will they use as fodder for their wars, and at what price to their mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual bodies?

And who are these terrorists? If you read the Executive order, it goes as far to define a terrorist as someone who has more that 7 days of food in their home. I have been gathering, growing and preserving food my whole life.
It says that the Military can take anything, water, food, shelter, land, anything, to serve it's purposes to maintain "homeland security". 
The military can take over any and all contracts for what it needs to run it's operations: oil, uranium, WATER…anything. We see the same being implemented in Canada.

Meanwhile in the Land of Enchantment, Home of the Atomic Bomb, which has our own flavor of schizophrenia or is it Stockholm Syndrome: Pueblos make $ deals with the Beast that is poisoning all of us for miles around http://youtu.be/AyYNEbjs47c   and military tactical training goes on in our skies. To name a few goings on here,  to the east, Mora Country is preparing for legal battle with the fracking oil boyz, to the south Cannon Airforce base is being stocked with drones that are already being unleashed in Arizona, to the west Rio Tinto and the Bureau of Interior is making way to open yet another uranium mine, and the Little Colorado is to be siphoned off for the likes of Las Vegas's bright city lights, and to the north along the Colorado and NM boarder the BLM is making negotiations, and environmental studies to drill oil in the watershed because they have "ownership?" All this is going on around what has been designated as a "world heritage site and water preservation area"…..I think about the Revolt of Po'Pay.

Now I was taught in school that I was "crazy", because I was taught to love Mother Earth, that I am a daughter of the land, that we as human's are to live simple lives and not to take more than you need, nor without offering. I am ok with the label of crazy, because I know, those that label me are pathologically criminally insane predators. They know no healthy boundaries, respect no one.  

Yet we have good works, Idle No More, Owe Aku - Moccasins on the Ground, Tarsands Blocade ….we are gathering as Nations to Dismantle the lies of the Doctrine of Discovery, Manifest Destiny, and the Papal Bulls, we are making Earth Sanctuaries…we are gathering as families, Clans, Bands and Nations, around the world and so much more.  Here we are still planting the Three Sisters, and living the Prophecies for the One Great Peace as best we know how each day.

It is time now to call upon our deepest strength of love for one another. To make friends and relatives wherever we go and in whatever we do. To nourish clear minds and pure hearts. Follow where Spirit guides us to do good works. Practice generosity, for where you hoard, withhold your love, tools, funds, voice, actions, will only support the suffering. It is only in our unity, that we will make things better for our children and the future generations to come. 
I think Ceremonies are going to be really strong this year.
