Pineal Gland Awakening: Star Nations Teachings

[day]

amid the carnage
"hope" selfishly tooled abroad
eyes blinded prevail


"War!" they scream loudly
food the children dream nightly
by the tv light


'Have courage!" they cried
"Honor, Discipline!" they roared
while babes sucked soothers


Earth shifts within
She moves her shoulders and sighs
her labor pains grow

Wind whispers her groan
Her sigh reaches listening ears
Old ones pray and sing

Old ones sang and danced
long foretold this time and place
life shall carry on

...no matter what man did and tried to do, these people are still here. Both loved and respected, their wisdom always welcome. And even though i live across a great ocean and may never meet with them, my door shall always be open as will my heart.

THE TWISTED HAIRS


The "Twisted Hairs" were traditional Native American Elders that
came from many different tribes from all over North, South and Central
America which was called Turtle Island. A Twisted Hair Warrior was
also, usually, a Elder and respected Medicine Man or Woman, Shaman or
Sorcerer (defined from Toltec meaning, not as our society defines
"sorcerers as those involved with black magic), and was a member of
his/her particular tribe's "secret" medicine society or magical lodge.
They were considered to be a Man/Woman of Power and Knowledge. What
separated a Twisted Hair from a Traditional Medicine person was
his/her ability and desire to seek knowledge from all sources. These
men/women were not content to accept blindly the limitations of their
tribes' traditional teachings and chose, instead, to travel and seek
knowledge from every direction of the wheel of life in order to find
their Center and come into alignment with the Spirit.

In our people's language, the hair symbolized knowledge and,
therefore, a"Twisted Hair" was one who "wove" knowledge from all
sources into his/her Path with Heart and made it his/her knowledge.
Twisted Hairs learned to utilize every available resource around them
in accordance with the Great Laws. In this way, they became Rainbow
Warriors and began to meet with each other, sit in council and
exchange openly their various sources of knowledge. At a very
historical metting in 1224 in Oaxaca, Mexico, they met and banded
together into a very secret Medicine society and named themselves
the Twisted Hairs Medicine Society of the Sweet Medicine Sun Dance.
Their "Council of Elders" came to a agreement for membership and
established a Circle of Law to help facilitate the sharing of their
combined knowledge with anyone whose primary reason for chosing a
physical body was for the purpose of seeking knowledge to eventually
become enlightened, and to learn to become a human being who touched
himself/herself, life, and others with Beauty.

As a part of this process, these Elders set up a series of
Ceremonial"Gateways" and Warrior Tasks to teach the "seeker of
knowledge" to become self-reliant and self-actualizing. The seekers
learned to flow with the constant changing energy of the Everything in
a harmonious way. They learned to stay centered in the midst of total
chaos and how to follow the Sacred Laws.In essence, they learned to
"Walk their Talk" and touch the world in Beauty as they sought
knowledge in the great vision quest called Life.

THE SPIRIT OF BLACK ELK LIVES

Black Elk: Wicasa Wikan of the Oglala Sioux, 1863-1950

"Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking."

"I cured with the power that came through me. Of course, it was not I who cured, it was the power from the Outer World, the visions and the ceremonies had only made me like a hole through which the power could come to the two-leggeds." "If I thought that I was doing it myself, the hole would close up and no power could come through. Then everything I could do would be foolish."




Earth Prayer

"Grandfather, Great Spirit, once more behold me on earth and lean to hear my feeble voice. You lived first, and you are older than all need, older than all prayer. All things belong to you -- the two-legged, the four-legged, the wings of the air, and all green things that live.
"You have set the powers of the four quarters of the earth to cross each other. You have made me cross the good road and road of difficulties, and where they cross, the place is holy. Day in, day out, forevermore, you are the life of things."
Hey! Lean to hear my feeble voice.
At the center of the sacred hoop
You have said that I should make the tree to bloom.
With tears running, O Great Spirit, my Grandfather,
With running eyes I must say
The tree has never bloomed
Here I stand, and the tree is withered.
Again, I recall the great vision you gave me.
It may be that some little root of the sacred tree still lives.
Nourish it then
That it may leaf
And bloom
And fill with singing birds!
Hear me, that the people may once again
Find the good road
And the shielding tree.


The Sunset

Then I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being.

And I say the sacred hoop of my people was one of the many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy...
But anywhere is the center of the world.





Square Gray Houses

A long time ago my father told me what his father had told him, that there was once a Lakota holy man, called "Drinks Water", who dreamed what was to be... He dreamed that the four-leggeds were going back to the Earth, and that a strange race would weave a web all around the Lakotas. He said, "You shall live in square gray houses, in a barren land..." Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking. (1932)

Geronimo

[day]

I was warmed by the sun, rocked by the winds and sheltered by the trees
as other Indian babes. I was living peaceably when people began to

speak bad of me. Now I can eat well, sleep well and be glad. I can go

everywhere with a good feeling.

The soldiers never explained to the government when an Indian was

wronged, but reported the misdeeds of the Indians. We took an oath not

to do any wrong to each other or to scheme against each other.

I cannot think that we are useless or God would not have created us.

There is one God looking down on us all. We are all the children of one

God. The sun, the darkness, the winds are all listening to what we have

to say.

When a child, my mother taught me to kneel and pray to Usen for

strength, health, wisdom and protection. Sometimes we prayed in

silence, sometimes each one prayed aloud; sometimes an aged person

prayed for all of us... and to Usen.

I was born on the prairies where the wind blew free and there was

nothing to break the light of the sun. I was born where there were no

enclosures.


by Geronimo (Goyathlay)- Apache



The song that I will sing is an old song, so old that none knows who

made it. It has been handed down through generations and was taught to

me when I was but a little lad. It is now my own song. It belongs to

me. This is a holy song (medicine-song), and great is its power. The

song tells how, as I sing, I go through the air to a holy place where

Yusun (The Supreme Being) will give me power to do wonderful things. I

am surrounded by little clouds, and as I go through the air I change,

becoming spirit only.




Medicine Song - Sung by Geronimo
O, ha le
O, ha le!
Awbizhaye
Shichl hadahiyago niniya
O, ha le
O, ha le
Tsago degi naleya
Ah--yu whi ye!
O, ha le
O, ha le!
O, ha le
O, ha le!
Through the air
I fly upon the air
Towards the sky, far, far, far,
O, ha le
O, ha le!
There to find the holy place,
Ah, now the change comes o're me!
O, ha le
O, ha le!


Geronimo - Apache
"Geronimo is said to have had magical powers. He could see into the future, walk without creating footprints and even hold off the dawn to protect his own. This Apache Indian warrior and his band of 37 followers defied federal authority for more than 25 years.

Red Tomahawk, Sitting Bull's assassin, lived in a time of rapid change for the
Lakota-Dakota people. He did the only thing that he believed he could, serve
as a police officer and put his warrior days behind him. He is most often
remembered for killing Sitting Bull. Here's his story.
