Celebrating Protectors and Caregivers : Repairing the Sacred Hoop of Life

Celebrating Protectors and Caregivers :

Repairing the Sacred Hoop of Life

I have often wondered why we have adopted the word "survivor" in relation to the "war on women and children" or violence toward us. 

 -"A veteran (from Latin vetus, meaning "old")[1] is a person who has had long service or experience in a particular occupation or field; " A veteran of ..."

sur·vive  (sr-vv)

v. sur·vived, sur·viv·ing, sur·vives

v.intr.

1. To remain alive or in existence.

2. To carry on despite hardships or trauma; persevere: families that were surviving in tents after the flood.

3. To remain functional or usable: I dropped the radio, but it survived.

v.tr.

1. To live longer than; outlive: She survived her husband by five years.

2. To live, persist, or remain usable through: plants that can survive frosts; a clock that survived a fall.

3. To cope with (a trauma or setback); persevere after: survived child abuse.

"Survivor" status tells us that we go on to "exist, persevere despite what has happened to us, we are still functional or usable, we lived longer than the experience, we cope" all of which indirectly or directly still says we are objects under "occupation" and really does not celebrate the sacredness of our lives or Life . As "survivors" are we not also "educated through direct experience and healing" to change our behavior, be on guard, have heightened senses of awareness, learn to protect our children and home (lands), have had countless hours and years in traditional and non traditional healing modalities to recover, mend, heal, transform ourselves to live again, and live through thousands of years of wars on, and caught in the crossfire of violence? Where every wumyn and child is harmed, so too is their family and the men they are related to.

I remember one year at ceremony when we were honoring our Veterans, when the rifles were shot, i wanted to run for the hills and in that moment had a vision of all the raped and murdered wumyn and children in the world. It flowed like a tapestry of tears made of voiceless nameless wumyn and children caught in the crossfire. And then it became a worldwide wave of all the names, places, with the number of wumyn and children, both who are still living and those who had died, as a result of the many forms of war, rape, abuse - violence.

You see i no longer feel or think there are lesser or more damaging aspects of violence because it sends a message that there is a hiding place to justify, diminish the effects of one or another aspect of it, or create reasons for not healing ourselves and changing the culture of violence's many forms. Some of these forms are: being raped and tortured as child, woman or grandmother, being raped or murdered in a combat zone, being raped and assaulted at home (incest-domestic violence), date rape, work-place rape or sexual harassment, rape by religions and their missionaries, being stiffed by the men for work paid and not performed, being robbed, held hostage, poverty, being jeered at by drive bys, ogled and fondled in the minds and by the hands of perverts, emotional-mental-spiritual manipulation by psychopaths AND how our Mother Earth and her Peoples are being raped by corporations and politics. This is not a complete list of violence's abuses.

Some gurus say we are "not our "bodies", let the identity with your body-mind-emotions go". While spirit is beyond the physical form, here on earth we are inner and interconnected to the mind, body, emotions, spirit and all that is Creation. Furthermore when it comes to rape and torture, being externalized from your physical form is what the spirit does…its called the fight or flight response. We are born into the sacred temple of physical form for Creation to experience Life, creativity, beauty, and love…and no i do not think this war on wumyn and children as being "just your lesson in life"…simple lesson: violence is wrong and something went terribly wrong in the culture of humanity. Some call it "colonialism".

I recently heard a great song called "Overcomer", as a term for survivors of cancer. Am not fully feeling this word, and definitely do not relate to "survivor", rather have related to "Protector" for a very long time, and this is why: 

* Does it not take courage and bravery to face predators over and over again?

* Does it not take divine strength and skill to pick yourself up

and remake your life, relocate if you have to or stay and live where a predator walks free and unaccountable for their actions, time and time again after each assault?

* Does it not take compassion to forgive yourself and the predator?

* Does it not take Love's Truth to know that most predators have been victims

of abuse and/or rape, incest, war - themselves?

* Does it not take the skill of a special agent, to learn to recognize a psychopath as they become more and more skilled to stalk their prey via internet, in on and off line social networking and gatherings, and spot the infiltrators that show up at ceremonial or religious traditions, political arenas, and in our neighborhoods? After all not everyone has been busted yet.

* Does it not take great wisdom born from our own healing and generosity to decide to serve to help heal and protect others from harm?

* Does it not take trust to jump out of the river of denial and look into the world of violence on women and children and see it is also how Mother Earth is being treated?

We are protectors in the sense that we have learned protective skills…for ourselves, families and home (lands)…and as Protectors, we still love with all our hearts….now that is truly something. 

Here are some highlights from 2013:

We now have the the United Nations UNITE to end Violence Against Women and girls Campaign http://endviolence.un.org/goals.shtml and the 

International Day to End Violence Against Women  https://www.un.org/en/events/endviolenceday/  Despite this being recognized in the US for monetary reasons, i am hopeful that the culture of money, property, and prestige as reasons to eliminate violence will change to a culture that honors the sacredness of wumyn as caregivers of Life.

In March of 2013 Obama reauthorized VAWA which now empowers "Tribes to prosecute non-Indian perpetrators of domestic violence against Native American women in Indian country" http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2013/03/07/president-signs-2013-vawa-empowering-tribes-protect-native-women

"In February of 2013 , One billion people in 207 countries around the world" rose to sing, dance, pray and celebrate for the end of violence against wumyn and girls http://www.onebillionrising.org/  

There have also been videos and beautifully written public apologies made by men to wumyn of the world that specifically state they "understand" that the violence against women is perpetrated by men and they are stepping up to hold men accountable, and work with men to heal and change. Here is a link to Jeff Brown's apology to the Divine Feminine: http://soulshaping.com/soulshaping/apologies-to-the-divine-feminine-from-a-warrior-in-transition/

The components of real apologies express the following:

1. A valid acknowledgement that an offense was made and to whom.

2. Expresses remorse and humility and recognizes the suffering that was caused. (ability to feel empathy and compassion)

3. Acknowledges what the offense was, and at he least something about why they did what they did.

4. What they are doing to change their own behavior. (self-responsibility)

5. Some form of reparation, symbolic or real for the perpetrators offense to the person and it may also include reparations to the family, tribe or nation as well. (responsibility to others and their community, because where one is harmed, all are harmed)

 Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes describes the Archetype of Rape: 

" the Archetype of Rape; as an archetype is a universal idea that rises from the unconscious into consciousness and takes hold and carries either great positive or negative numinousity when beheld by some humans, causing them sometimes with huge inflation of ego, to identify with the dark shadow of the archetype, which carries intention and feeling toned ideas, but is not human. If one becomes possessed by such inhuman and dark archtype, it is said psychologically, the person who once was, is no longer:

She also describes the Cultura Cura, and Predatory rule:

“While much psychology emphasizes the familial causes of angst in humans, the cultural component carries as much weight, for culture is the family of the family. If the family of the family has various sicknesses, then all families within that culture will have to struggle with the same malaises. There is a saying cultura cura, culture cures. If the culture is a healer, the families learn how to heal; they will struggle less, be more reparative, far less wounding, far more graceful and loving. In a culture where the predator rules, all new life needing to be born, all old life needing to be gone, is unable to move and the soul-lives of its citizenry are frozen with both fear and spiritual famine.” 

― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype

So today as a Protector in the ongoing war on wumyn and children that has been waged for more than four thousand years. In this 5th Sun, the new world where everyone is jockeying for the next royal seat at the banquet of money, property and prestige….. let not the suffering of our wumyn and children be the banquet from which you feed, rather generously nourish our wumyn and children.

For our men and masculine principal:

Thank you for your acknowledgement of harm done, and for your apologies.

We are grateful for all your personal and collective work to change the culture of masculinity and what it means to be a divine Man. 

Thank you for loving us and supporting the healing of the divine feminine.

Thank you for your generosity and support to mend our lives in both tangible and intangible ways.

To all Predatory violent behavior:

The feminine principal in Life is the Divine Virgin-Mother-Crone, Mother Earth, and is Caregiver of Life. Because this is how we are made, it is our Birthright, to have say in regard to decisions of war and peace. Therefore you are hereby given notice to cease all violence against us, seek healing and bring honor to the masculine principal of creation.

The feminine principal, is tired of cleaning up after you, healing, changing, hiding, transforming, protecting… we want to see your change and your courage to learn what love is and is not - and take responsibility for your actions by making restorative amends both to the wumyn you have harmed and to Mother Earth. There are no more save-iour-asses, learn to walk your talk.

I met someone once who was the kindest most generous, courageous, honest, loving man anyone could meet. I look for him inside of every man. He would say "Love one another, be kind and generous. Be honest, brave, compassionate, walk gently with Mother Earth not upon her, and honor all wumyn with the same respect". So I ask myself today, 

What would Love do? 

As a Protector and Caregiver, it took me almost all of 2013 to figure out what happened to me in 2012 when i accepted a job offer…and I think every woman should read about what psychopathic predatory behavior is before accepting a job or dating…. https://www.psychopathfree.com/content.php?241-The-Manipulator-s-6-Steps-to-Idealization 

Paleeeze! understand that these types, are very slick… today, am still learning no longer acquiesce my inner authority to determine what is and is not violence, rape, abuse and predatory behaviors. After all - we are Protectors, right?, and maybe one day we will not need experts in the mine-field and operations of violence toward wumyn, children and Mother Earth.

When I hear things like this, i pause:  "We all come from the infinite. Every cell in our body is a universe of it's own. It's intelligent, it's complete, and it's programmed to be what it is. It is perfect."  .... or "everything is love and light, and don't judge" or "just get over it" or "not my responsibility, my ancestors did it, but i didn't"….

Yes we are made perfectly beautiful ! ..and violence is not a "perfect program" and there is a real sickness and "dis-ease" within the culture of humanity … Every dis-ease's origins are interconnected  with our relationship to Her, our Mother Earth, the feminine, and her marriage with Father Sun and Sky…collectively the majority of "western civilized" people are living 

Life out of Balance. 

So with much gratitude, to everyone who are protectors, and caregivers of Life, these qualities are really not genderized, the masculine and feminine have different ways of expressing the characteristics of the Sacred Protector and Caregiver,  for the Greater Good of All Life. We are re-membering this while we heal, change and transform the culture of humanity and protect our Beloved Mother Earth.

From one Protector and Caregiver to another, made of glorious, loving, creative, courageous, Beauty, thank you for listening.

Overcomers

Great Mystery is far more omnipresent than "he or she" , and resides in the temple of form's expression to experience Life given to us. May the Life Ways we nourish in our walk in life be the resonance and tonality of Great Mystery's Love and Truth.

I am really liking the astrology reports coming in from our Mayan daykeepers and gregorian astrologers. With gratitude for your insights and knowledge in how our solar tribe family and cosmos inner-relate to our individual and collective unfolding. 

So this is a sharing, may only be my shadow, pain and grief coming out of old wounds. If this be the case so be it, and let healing bring clarity and beauty to where this resides within me. I have often said that every dis-ease's roots that we have are found in our inner and inter relationship with Mother Earth. Mother Earth's Love for her children is profound. She is also our relationship with feminine and every wumyn we are. So, in this sharing i am speaking of Love as Mother Earth and "man" as all humanity, because within us all are predators of willingly adopted and unwilling imposed beliefs that keep us from truly loving and caring for one another…

During the coming nows, may all of us caregive the compassion to be able to hear the truth, educate others, enter into meaningful circles of dialogue and ceremony for healing, for solutions, for the greater good of all life. May we remember that each of us brings a perspective and part to Life's Hoop of Wisdom from the Love and Truth of All that Is that makes us as we are. 

Love met a man once 

who asked her for a stone, 

She gave it to him freely.

Finding stone's beauty profound 

he returned desiring more

and asked her for her soul. 

He asked for her soul

because he did not know his own 

and had become a predator 

always on the roam,

so he offered her all the riches

he had stolen 

in the hope to bargain and win 

a soul that might fill his hunger within

Love refused his riches and trinkets

words of empty promises

so he told Love that she was his muse

and invited her into his lair

in the hope that she would fill his fantasies

and become a soul that would be his pair

when she refused to be a fantasy

an object, a muse

or to become half of her whole

his rage at her refusal became confused

by Love's ever and infinite 

dance mate the

Obsidian Blade of Truth

So he waged a war against love

by poverty, thievery and betrayal

destruction to earth air water

and mis-use of fire

by endless addiction 

to property and prestige as booty 

and the objectification of feminine, 

to feed egoic warrior tales

of muses and fantasy lovers

yet still could not fill the soullessness 

of his empty shell

He tried to go within himself

refashion from his fantasy

a voice in Love's image, 

yet it fell hollow 

within the coffins of all 

that he had plundered

and could not reach the depths

of her Beauty and Presence

that is only found by walking 

in balance and harmony

with and not upon Her 

Love is beholden to no religions

nor is limited by willingly adopted

and unwillingly imposed beliefs

and resides infinitely within

the sacred altar of every wumyn

and man

for Love and Truth in sacred union

are the seeds and trees

of which all life is made

from Great Mystery's infinite

and eternal dance of Creationing

What would Love do? Be the Prayer in Motion.

Thank you Mandisa for this great song that speaks for all the challenges we are all overcoming, be it cancer, rape, aids, diabetes, addictions, stolen lands, loss of culture, colonialism, destruction to the Waters of Life, etc.............

A Sharing from the One Dragon Clan

Wise Ones, Magi's of Old

only have one small request

that they have lived and died for,

protected, nurtured and caregiven

for countless generations

that humanity cease putting

their fears and demons, 

into the Darkness

of the crystalline stardust waters

of the sentient Dreaming

Wombsong of Creationing

for this is the source and home

from whence all Sentient

Lightning Stars Sparkdance

in balance and harmony

birthing tree's sacred dreamseeds

laden lush with lotus

blossoming of all that Is

seen and unseen

form no form

Simply said, this means 

just one small task is asked

come out of duality of light and dark

neither darkness nor light is "bad".

Name the predatory demons for what, who, where, when, why
 they are, and change the thought form
via the tonality and resonance we utter.

Heal them if they choose to heal,
transform and re-weave them

with spirit's responsibility, respect and amends...

if not willing? banish them to boogie tales.

For the dark nor darkness, 

of our womb of Creationing,

no longer chooses

to be a hiding place for humanity's

predators, skeletons and demons. 

So be forewarned, 

the Wise Ones and Magi's of Old

are house cleaning for Mother Earth's birth 

and Creationing's Spring weaving made of

Vision's Prayers upon the horizon.

Children, have you not heard of the Knight in Shining armor who would slay a dragon, or serpent, one of the oldest of feminine wisdom? While at the same time pretending to be a savior and protector of the People?

Demons and predators come in all shapes, colors and sizes, and now they walk as both light and dark charlatans because humans have forgotten to keep the dark still waters clean of demons, and instead used this place as a dumping ground just like humans treat Mother Earth's embryonic Oceans. This Ocean is within you. Poisoning Ocean will spawn deformities, and create charlatans in both light and dark names and form. It is time to renew and make our compost
and mending offerings.

Why do you think that Dragon's no longer will walk among us? 

Do you know what kind of relative they are at this time of renewal and birth of Mother Earth, the 8th Fire and 5th Sun?

Dragon's - the Rainbow Serpent - Quezalcoatl - Nagas were once known to be

the caregivers of right relationship with Fire, Earth, Air and Water                     …re-member…

...who you are….

Love's Truth and Beauty is a tapestry

nourished within the Dark Holy Cup 

of renewal and birth

of the sacred mysteries of Night within us

Sparking the Light, resonance and tonality

of forms living expression of 

Love and Truth

in sacred union

A Journey's Calling

A Journey's Calling 

poem written and spoke to

La Serenissima (the most serene) By Loreena KcKennitt

http://youtu.be/m54SmVsQqgc

====

feeling gratitude's, gentle sweet caress

butterfly's pulse sing, within life's winter nest

four winds calling, inner connections,  

truth and love's flame, heart fires reflections

vast and deep his Being, lightning wisdom

magnetizing, love's infinite magick

weaving tapestries, dreamseeds and realizations

Creationing's 8th fire and peace for everyone 

a journey given, to live from wakan visions

and Hozho dancing deep and vast within us

sometimes kola healing, inner sense's broken 

and pray's that our children   

are the last

the last

the last 

from earth to sky, to experience such violence

from an old world … where Mother Earth 

was treated with destruction….

where we were not safe

from the how, when, why, who, and what 

that tried to silence the beauty and truth within us

all this certainly, not the life ways of the Peoples 

made of four Corn Cosmos's Milk and Honey 

this not a wumyn thing, rather it is a calling

and not too much to ask, for our children and Mother Earth

to go into the world as spirit warriors, 

Beloveds side by side, for if not, we and she will birth no longer 

standing now, Butterfly and Iron Shirts united 

who will live again… by the Original instructions

to live love's harmony with All Life and each other

a prophecy may never see, for this my last flight o'er

virgin mother crone, the ripe sweetness of life's essence

Prophecy's visions and wisdom guiding us home

Hummingbird and Jaguar opens Lotus blossom

love's truth within me dwells, for he whom has my love

With gratitude for listening, to these tales from days of old, 

those living, and yet to come for each and everyone

~ interlude ~

feeling gratitude's, gentle sweet caress

butterfly's pulse sing, within winter's nest

four winds calling, inner relections,  

truth and love's flame, heart fires connections

Backward Dancing with The Art of Dialogue

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.

"Earth Changes", Worldviews, and Relationship

About 20 yrs ago I went on a job interview at a 'healing center'. The director of the program, a psychiatrist, asked me if i am native  (uh oh i thought, why should being native or not be criteria for employment, I have my pieces of paper and a resume).
"yes", I replied.

The Director then asked me if I believed in 'earth changes'..., (i thought,  what an interesting way to start a job interview).
"Well that depends on what you think 'earth changes' are" I replied.
" You know, where the earth will change and lots of people may die," he said.

"Yes she is already changing due to human behavior that is out of balance with living with Mother Earth." I replied.
The director then said, " Well you're native can you talk to her? Can you tell her not to change?" .... (at this point I'm thinking ...oh oh this guy is worried about maintaining his own worldview).

So I said "Why would I ask Mother Earth not to do wot she is going to do? She and the cosmos have their natural cycles as well. She is our mother and the western civilization is not living in good relation with her. I think it is humans that need to change their way of living, rather than her."

The director became angry and yelled at me " You can talk to her, people may die!!!!! You don't have the kind of compassion necessary to work here!"
What did he think? - that just because a person is native they have a magic wand? On the other hand, maybe we do...hahaha. I thanked him for his time, and left, contemplating what kinds of compassion there are in the world.

These notions of "entitlement to compassion and lifestyle" that colonial privileged mind-think has, to separate and only take what suits it from any teaching and try to adapt it to maintain it's worldview along with privilege brought on by colonial patriarch has bred lack of responsibility in how one walks in life with Mother Earth and with each other.

Bear muses about:
* Environmental disasters brought about by hu-man's colonial suicidal terracidal behavior. 
* Mayan count marking the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. 
* Every world we have lived prior to this one has had a different eco-system.
* The return of balance with "feminine and masculine" wisdom. 
Wumyn are made just like Mother Earth and Cosmic Womb. 
All Life is made of Earth and Sky.
* In the same way wumyn have their cycle of birth, life, seed, return, so too does Mother Earth and the Cosmos. 
* Our health, the health of pregnant wumyn, and our children, are in fact - inner and inter-dependant upon our relationship with Mother Earth and all life. In other words all dis-ease has been created by life out of balance with Mother Earth, Father Sun and Sky. So, why would we think that Mother Earth's "changes" would not be effected by the violence being waged upon her and her children?
* The Original Instructions and Natural Laws in living with Mother Earth and Sky have been maintained, lived and died for by our Elder Nations and their springs who re-member who they are.
* There are collective up-risings led by our Elder Nations and springs, to protect water, earth, air and to live in right relationship with fire (energy).

We are going through a return and birth, of which is being effected by two-legged behavior. It is for this reason, that Mother Earth's health is so important. So when I think about the violence being waged upon our Mother, the violence that we have come to know as wumyn passed from generation to generation through our wombs and is within our genetic memories, and eggs we caregive...

....is why it is so important for us to nourish Life Ways of Beauty, Ceremony, Truth, Peace, Gardens, Creativity, Clarity, Compassion, Generosity, Courage, Healing, Honesty, Humor, Protection, Forgiveness, Education, Love, and
life ways with roots in natural law and the original instructions....
 +  wumyn also need the protection and support from our men to walk side by side with us in this way.

* while I know that there are many who teach that "we are not our bodies, and the body/reality is an illusion"... I admit, i may not there yet, i still eat, sleep, need warmth in the winter, and like any bear - crap in the woods. There is however, a balance of reciprocity's dance with the seen and unseen world of all that Is Creationing.

In feeling forgiveness today,
- for our feminine and masculine who sometimes feel rage and shame about being the offspring of genocide, murder, rape, the buying and selling, forced marriages, adoptions, subjugation and objectification of Mother Earth and all life...in feeling powerless to protect their children... from the worldview and lifestyles that created this ...

- for the ism's that creep up from this that say we are not the right color, shape, form, quantum, can't speak our languages fluently or at all, can't remember who our mothers were, and where they came from...these broken tapestries of colonialism's wound's "privileged worldviews", that shatter our hearts and tell us we are not worthy of living and being love ... otherwise called internalized oppression, that has effected our relationships with each other AND ourselves.

The question here is: Is this what we want to allow to define our relationships with ourselves and each other? What else is possible? We are not culturally and spiritually poor...We are far more beautiful than this !

This is our opportunity, right now, today, to let go, heal this and come together.
We need each other to be healthy, strong and caring for each other.

dance with me
tenderly in the hearthfires
of our naked vulnerability
bearing offerings for life's
spirit blossom
caressed open
by the resonance of your
heartdrum song's beautyway
lightning the spark
of creationings creation
of form no form

The Secret of the Mystery Egg by Hohongwitutiwa

This is a repost from Hohongwitutiwa with permission. If you have inquiries, please contact me. ~ Alis Itlatol

Or – Puncuated Equilibrium – The Evolutionary Plan of the Great Spirit

What is being shared (on this blog) is for everyone, but even if just one person is helped, then it has been worth presenting.

Tutskwa I’qatsi,
We live in an age where certain truths have been lost to us. The knowledge of our Earth as a great living being, known to most native peoples, is one of the things pahanas do not remember or presently believe, yet it is true. The Hopi are one people who have retained many sacred truths once known in the past, some of which our Mother is now releasing to us, as strange as some of it may seem to what we have known.

Here is a post made by uuna –(Upaava’s Hopi father)– his own words not any new age mysticism as some have said. Many of these things have never been given out before; they cannot be found anywhere else on the Internet, in print, or anywhere. Only the Hopi initiated in these matters know about them. But you, and I, and all of us are now meant to know about certain things too. Whether we can believe in these things or not, whether we are ready for them or not, they will occur perhaps with the same difficulty in some places as I have sometimes had in sharing uuna’s giveaway.

So, here is another post by uuna in his own words; this one without the help of the Lakota friend to help “smooth his English.” It speaks of Time, and the birth of our Mother’s egg (The Mystery Egg the Hopi have sometimes mysteriously spoken about), and the coming of our Fifth World.

“Within the Solar System there is a very natural pattern of evolving with ones home planet that brings Gods creations to a higher state of being from Age to Age. In Hopi it is known as The Sacred Pattern of Migration which is depicted in The Sunflower Sand Painting of Tutskwa I’ qatsi. I will make a short introduction so that his meaning can be more easily understood as he has explained it to me. Then his own words directly:

Our Earth is a living breathing Entity. If She were not alive, we would not be alive; we are created and sustained by Her…Every planet is alive and although we cannot see life upon them, life exists at different stages of development.

What is happening upon and within our Earth and Her Core is very natural, these natural events that mankind calls “disasters” will continue to increase in frequency and intensity. It is not a punishment, it is not destruction leading to extinction, this is a Holy Event to come that has happened from Age to Age to bring us to this stage of evolution so near to our final state in the Fifth World.

The next and final step of evolving to a higher state of being with our Earth, physically and spiritually, is approaching. It will not matter what country a person was born in, what color of their skin or what culture one belongs to, this is our home planet and we are all children of this Earth that are and will face these events together. We will all be faced with a choice in our future. We are being warned to choose wisely, to choose the forward progression of Time and evolution, remaining within the natural process of Nature, always remaining and enduring with our Earth Mother.

The following are words shared by uuna:

“We think of our Earth Mother as a Sacred Bird. In every orbit She has been a different Bird. When She was in the first orbit, we were not yet man; we were not yet even simple creatures. We lived in this undeveloped state until a time of Purification came upon Her. The Great Bird laid an Egg. Inside the Earth Mother is hatching an Egg.

In every orbit She patiently hatches an Egg. When the Egg is ready to emerge, Purification is knocking on the door. What is this Egg? We had many names for this Egg and many “myths” about it. One “myth” was when it emerged in a village and caught two children and took the children back to the Underworld with it. The “myths” are meant to explain the Truth but sometimes they make it unclear because they give it an atmosphere of fantasy.

The “myths” are not really “myths”, they are a way of explaining Truth to a people before we have an understanding of science. The Truth has always been with us, science is a newcomer. They do not struggle against one another.

We are not aware of Earth Mother’s movement but She is always rushing around, (‘Itam Tuuwaqatsi qa navoti’yataqa hoyota niikyangw Tuuwaqatsi hoyota sutsep.) She is rotating (koruruta) around Her axis and She is revolving (qoqonlawu) around Tawa-Father-Sun, and also flies with the rest of the Solar System (Kokyangwuti) through space, all this running around causes movement within Her. This movement is called “differentiation” the meaning is that heavy material sinks and light material rises. The same thing happens when a man pans for gold, the gold sinks, also when a woman shakes Corn, the husks rise.

In the body of our Earth Mother heavy material sinks and light material rises. Metals sink downwards and they have formed an Iron Egg in Her center. This Iron Egg grows with every passing minute as differentiation continues because She does not stop hurrying around, we call Her Huurinwuti (hurrying around woman), and among the many other names She has. As long as Her motion continues, metal sinks towards Her center and Her Egg grows.

Pahana scientists call Her Egg, the Core of the Earth.

They know it exists, they know it is mostly iron, they argue among themselves about the nature of the Egg. Pahana scientists do not believe our Earth Mother is alive, to Pahana scientists She is just a “Planet”, not a Mother and Her Nohu is just a Ball of Iron of no importance. They do not know it will come out. They do not know it is this Egg, growing bigger every day, which causes our Mother’s motion to slow down, they do not know it is the growing Egg which causes all the weather changes we now witness. Maybe if they knew the Egg was going to be hatched soon they would work even faster to build a space station and to “save” themselves from Purification.”…

….”We must try to give Truth to every man who is come with hands open and speaking “I am looking for Truth.” I hear many Times there is many ways to Taiowa. Mongko (Law of Life) speaking there is *one-way to Taiowa. Mongko speaking there is *one only True way. We can say many ways lead to Mongko but when facing Mongko many men stop to go forward because Mongko can make afraid to people. Mongko is standing like Skeleton (Masau-Father-Death) speaking “You looking for your star brother to come and stop you from dying? You are afraid to give back your Life to One who is giving that Life to you? You are not trusting that Life is return to you again in even better form? Go away and be looking always at Tokpela and hoping people from other World can save you from Death. You come to Mongko you must accept Masau.”

People thinking another World people not having to die! They are hoping another World people can take them to their stranger World when Time is coming for Tuuwaqatsi to have suffering and have pain. Good to stay with Tuuwaqatsi if she is feeling good and giving to them all good things and not giving to them any problems! Problems coming they don’t want Her! Himu Sinom is not afraid of natural matters. We are all afraid of first Time come into this World? Ask to any woman having child: that matter is easy when your having that baby? Woman is not afraid of having baby then why are we men afraid of Death? We all must accept to every natural matter. We all must stay with our Mother when Her Pain is coming. What son or daughter is run away when the Mother is suffering?

Pahana scientists know that with every passing day the speed of the Earth Mother’s motion is slowed down. This is because of the heavy material sinking down into the center of Earth Mother. When Her Egg is too heavy for Her to keep in Her womb, it will come out. We can understand when a woman has a baby, we can understand when a Bird lays an egg, but it is not easy to accept that our Earth Mother is also busy hatching out an Egg. Why? Why do we think She cannot give birth? Maybe just because it is beyond our human minds to believe She is alive, as we are.

To Himu Sinom, Earth Mother is Land and Life, She is Alive and Her Iron Egg is Alive and She will soon lay Her Egg. Huru’ingwuuti No’y ilti noq hiisave Huru’ingwuuti Nohu’at Tiita. The Iron Egg of Earth Mother will Emerge at the Time of Purification, (Pay Huru’ng Wuuti Nohu’at Naavotsiwni kuyvani aasatve.) it is for this reason Great Purification is called Nohu Na’uyi’yta (The Secret of the Hidden Egg).

No one can deny the Mystery Egg in the Womb of our Earth Mother! No one can deny Her motion is slowing down. No one can deny that we dig up the bones of our early bodies because something BIG happened to us in the past and we, and all our buildings, were buried in the ground. No one can deny that Time as we know it will soon end, pahana scientists already know Time is not what we read on our clocks and calendars.

Long before pahana scientists knew our Earth Mother had an iron Core, Native Americans knew about Her Iron Mystery Egg, which would one day be hatched. And now I speak these words, one day soon pahana scientists may learn the secrets of Time, but long before they learn this, Native American Indians honor the Directions.

Our Mother keeps Her secrets well, and close to Purification, She asks us to release the great news of Her upcoming Birthing.”
