excerpt from Elders Agenda Meeting 04182012.
5:59pm
cw (white buffalo calf woman): Buffalo run, buffalo run, buffalo run into the sun. Buffalo run, buffalo run, buffalo run into the sun. Twins watch me grow. Twins help me sow. Twins be my hands, heaven demands, I am on the run. Run buffalo run, right into the sun. There our sounds will be heard, the snort of all it's worth. Buffalo run, buffalo run, buffalo run into the sun. Buffalo run, buffalo run, buffalo run into the sun. Feel the whispers of the grain, the waving calling of the sage. Don't you want to know this ruse, the buffalo has an eye on you. Run buffalo run. Run buffalo run. Come and shelter your woes, there we will be on our hooves. Can't you see the green hills, all the places the cows do fill. And each and every one of us, are relatives to this sacred cup.
cw: Sunlight, who is next speaker, I would like to hear about the Ghost Dancer. Aho.
Ghost Walk (New Moon Dance)
Katchee Tope wha: “the Clouds that Dance Ceremony” (9) The ghost walk
sl: Sunlight: Aho Twin Deer Mother, yes, I hear you. I will present a ghost dancer, at the end you will do the final name or great name. Yes I hear you. This young man says, he has been doing the ghost dance for about a 100 years and would like to tell you the story. His name is Birthing Rite. And he brings to us the Ghost Dance, walking the talk (wankan tankan, or great spiritual being inside of you). I put the talking stick in his hands.
br: Birthing Rite: (he bows to me and then turns and bows to Holiness David) I come today to share my story. Many are concerned about the weather changes that are occurring in the world. We are truly amazed at the accuracy of the weather reporting, however, this stillness that we are leaning into shutters inside, like a film projection still not recorded. In others words, you are dreaming it up, you image your shot, then take your photo. This is the Sun Dance from within. When we dance and bring into projection, the wild untamed bridle of a wild soul, reaching to get out, to spring forth, to radiate even electrify the world around, to form a electromagnetic net. We are becoming quite the warriors who are learning to play, to show the waves, to send our dreams forth, to create a place to become heroic and majestic in our greatness. When the darkness comes to us, once a month, the new moon displays, the haunting reality of our soul, that lies dormant, looking to shed it's light upon the world. Only this radiance is from within, streaming from our hearts. And if we don't allow this fulfillment to overtake us, then we preside to stand by while others take their dreams into their own hands. Many times people are learning to become their greatness. And many times, it's about the young people pairing up. But always it's about creation, from within the darkness our souls are birthed, our flesh is birthed, our beingness is birthed. All our dreams come to be known in the Moon Dance/Walk, this is when the darkness of the new moon shines your birth rite, the time of the ghost to live and dance. When the soul within shines out to be a river that directs the tools of light and colors that bind us together. For all our man kind we are looking for the best way to overcome our stresses in life. If we share our woes, dance our or on our toes, we cry a river that gleams, bringing light from within out to shine. It's blazing comes alive with creation and gratitude.
The last Ghost Walk, I did have a union of sorts. I met one of my wives. My first wife left me, because I could not give her what she needed. Then I met my Anny. She taught me more about humility than any man could. Yet she was tender to my soul. I remember watching her talk to the birds. And they seem to know to come to her side. She always was reverent to all our relations. But one day, Anny did not feel well at all. We were heading to the Great Hall to be servants to the Great Dance. She couldn't even walk. I suggested we stay home this month, but she said no. That one way or another we would get to the Great Dancing of the New Moon. She understood that the Ghost within her needed to be healed. And when we finally got there, she could barely walk, however, I got her inside a camper tent and she was able to rest. I remember knocking myself in the head bringing her to this great dance, it seemed such an ordeal. But with morning, she could stand up and walk. And she sat around all day, but she received others to join in prayers. By night fall, the ghost dance was full and in the darkness she came waltzing out. She moved so graceful, like a hawk in her dance. She seemed to know how to play off of everyone's rays. She bounced off each of the colors, that seem to strike out, shooting rays, even in the darkness. This is what our women know more than us men. But I noticed a illumination about her, like a ghost, smoke rising about her and she dancing together as one being. The light of the smoke seem to emerge and cast a shadow on the ground or in the air, as more and more smoke started to appear. the ghost dancers where in full effect. The souls did light up the sky that night, I remember, because in all her grace, I could see life pour back into her. What made her feel ill, was retrieved and opened for all to view, healed and make a new. She was a vision for my sore eyes. I did worry for her reckoning as she did not look good at all. But at nights end, and morning dawn, she had danced 6 hours. I couldn't believe it, but she was a new woman, radiant, full of rosy red cheeks, full of euphoria. She was looking for gathering around a fire, to sit and have a meal with relatives. Then to bed, but as the day continued, she still was up and about. I was concerned because just yesterday she could not walk, but after she was healed by the Ghost Walk, she found her way to being sacred duty bound and full of heavenly bound, willing to receive in great faith and to join with her soul, she danced and felt freedom after such pain, she has suffered. It's always harder on the family watching our relatives feeling pain, but as I learned on that day, we are most observant, when we care about someone, when we look for answers, only our hearts can cling to and have knowledge of what is perfect light. The ghost dance is a hall mark tradition that makes us want to grow up to be good servants, to be dutiful and to cling to the sacred circle once more. To bind with love in our hearts, to share what is important, our souls fly free, that is the liberty of the New Moon Dance, the Ghost Walk Prance. I put down the talking stick.
cw: Thank you Birthing Rite. Thank you for sharing your story and bringing the knowledge that the Ghost Dance can heal our souls as well. It's important for us to know all aspects of this great right of passage, for our amusement, but for greater meaning, our soul leaps to be heard, to be cast out of our beingness to be held close with others, to dance, celebrate and spring forth a new dawning. The soul has much to offer us, to guide us, to shine anew from within for us, but joy is not an easy road to follow, few do understand like elders of the band. yet we do know, that if we spend time teaching sharing and gifting the knowledge of Ghost dance, we will understand the path of enlightenment for all of our salvation. What is within , our soul, upon the blue our heavenly spirit that glows, this ghost is a holy spirit, that comes out to smoke or align the paths of division. Thank you for your great true. I bless you nine sacred directions too.
cw: WE cannot get into all the importance of the Ghost Walk (today), but we can share more in the weeks to follow.
excerpts elders 2009
Katchee Tope wha: “the Clouds that Dance Ceremony” (9) The ghost walk
Two Sacred Directions that flow through all of us!
to: It is I the Tall One, I have come to speak today. .take my breath away and gift it to another.
Every year the people who come together misunderstand the meaning of the ghost dance. we are here to gift the wisdom of the sacred ceremonies and often the world has misunderstood. we are obliged to gift the meaning of the ancient ones, who live in the valley of the magical mountains of paradise.
There is a dance that has been done for age and centuries, there is one people who are doing this correctly, they live inside the jungles of south America. they will hide until they are safe. they will not come out until the time of the cleansing.
This is the ceremony.
First take a female who has had no childbirth, she is one who has mated though, she must understand unity, but be firm in her purity of woman, without child. she is to be place inside a holding compartment, she is used to display the common language of creation. this is the where we are built, a box of twigs must be fashioned around her. (it plain box not sided, only form, made of twigs). This represents the relatives of all the worlds. These are bonding together when the man who longs and endures the safest path of cleavage. here he will go to the woman and hand her the magic staff. this staff is where the song of life shall sing and represent the loving hand of god's unity. he will only after he is finished dancing, enduring the dance until he is the last man standing, he then goes to her with the magic staff, he reaches into the box where she has been the center of creation. he pulls the stick back and forth after she has grabbed hold of the pole. The objective is the make a dance between the young warrior who is learning to protect the world and the woman who is the creator of the world. these dances are for young people who are child bearers. they are the foundation of the next generation and before entering this phase of parenthood, it is important to understand the sun within, the ghost without and the darkness where light collides. when an unborn child is held inside the womb, it is safe, it is secure and when it is born it depends on her for all it's needs. this is the the relationship we have with the universe. we depend on (her) all for our needs. we need gently protect her with all our light, and we need to become the warriors who protect the realms of darkness too. the truth is relying on each other. when we can finish the dance, the young people then come together held with ropes.
I can see all the people at the end of the dancing box ceremony, the people come up, like they are the king and queen of a party, and tie their hands to the ends of the pole, which looks like a round pole about 5 or 6 feet long, four inches wide, diameter. then they dance around the center of the box and then others warriors start to match up with other women and dance together with the poles around the box representing the universe. then they are here to find relations to marriage or partners for life. this ghost dance lasts for days and many relatives come to see the festival. when we use this for the pure, the young people can find each other and dance around together before coming close, this gifts them the use of vision, the eyes meet and the soul begins to dance. and then their is wisdom.
after the ceremony, many young people find heart's love. they find mates and many weddings often come soon after. the ghost dance is meant to find the star in the light of the universe that longs to know the creation of love and division of unity. the many parts are the foundation of a real love, the many part s that work together find a community. we are happy to announce that we have joined with you, in your walk with the royal blue. puts the stick down,
wd: Willy the terror of the night, Dreamer of hope.
i pick up the stick. my topic is the ghost walk, the place where the sun goes down.
Every time we dance in the sky, the twinkle of our heart collides with knowing you. we are the emanations of your loving home. we gift to you the lights from above so you will remember your way. the ghost dance reminds us of all the times past. all the heavens that lie within us and all the dreams that come tomorrow. we are learning to envision within the darkness of time. as we learn to be the bright light, we can be the hope of all tomorrows. if w e can dance and move in darkness without fear. take the blessed and keep the still in your heart, but offer the flowing that blows through you and teach them that the night sky offers the dance of hope. the place the fire can be seen, when all the lights are created and a universe is born, we can be united again. when you dance, we dance, when you are a bright fire, we are a bright fire. we hope for you to be the goodness of this purification process. t he dance and song, gift your heart to the universe. it is the blessing and hope of all tomorrows, but we often neglect the very thing that lies right in front of us, because we are seekers and seekers look forward into time and forget to look back. those who look back get stuck in time, and forget to dream forward, now, if we could just go back in time to know our dream and go forward in time to be our dream. then we are on the same path which ever direction we flow and when this is unified within our selves then the universe can explode into a bright living fire. the fire that is danced around is the culmination of many ancestors who gave and suffered to gift you tears of flowing an eternal giving of our sacred waters. there are many who do not understand that life must be respected and honored. but if we are devoid of a heart of even a cloud, then we are oppressive and not free. we may think it is not an insult to a cloud to make it vanish, but if it took loving tears to create the unity of flowing to dismiss it readily is to dismiss the past generations who cam e before to gift you everlasting life. we must respect even a cloud. this means the dirt upon our feet, the hole we accidentally stepped in and rock that stumbled our toe. this is when the heaven say, where is your harmony. where do you think you are going? if you need to stop, i will stub your toe. the place of recognition is where the sun dance in our hearts begin. the ghost is what rises when the heart of the universe is known. only the vision of a pure heart can become the glowing fire of sacredness and we the heaven and of earth come to say good night in your dreams and say we bless you and to say, we love you throughout your days. and when you are ready to come home, may you know the ghost dance is the holding of the universe within your heart, the flaming light of the sun. aho. puts the stick down.
wf: He is a shaman (healer, ministry), his name is Wheat fields that blossom to seeds that fly just call me Wheaty
It is how the ghost dance ties into the dance of the little girl who holds the ball.
never in my wildest dreams did i come to tell you such a story, we are living a new era, and we are so excited, but many do not realize the consequences and we are depending on you to open the many children who will walk into the new era with the Elders of Heaven. There will be much to do in Heaven, and we will have to rescue so many who rely on this demise. for they will have eternal life taken away, they will have to learn to trust again. and some will learn fast and others will not learn so well. these are the ones we need help from you. the true elders walk upon the earth, they commend actions that superimpose the reflection needed to finish the returning. Many warriors who use the ghost dance, mislead their actions, for the universe or star is born inside the girl. she is the real world, the birth of all light, the demise of all light, the seed of spirit, the seed of flesh, the darkness of holding still, to have and to hold, to enfold you, to implant the seed to grow, she is the dwelling place of life where innocence doesn't forget, but is pure hearted and when we each learn this mighty dance, the soul of the ghost, will walk free. The soul is the female darkness which lies within our heart, no matter who we are, no matter what we are (including male rainbow colors added by White Buffalo Calf Woman). no matter where we come from or go to. WE belong to the little girl, of innocence that is pure hearted that knows how to love another and care for them openly and honestly. each of us learning this, creates a doorway for us to enter, where light can be born a star can arise within, and we can be the eternal light of the sacred ball (sacred circle of the oneness of life). when the ghost is found, the girl of heaven's soul will be born again (dreams are birthed from heaven's ring, the heart of your soul).
i put the stick down.

Teach what is right, that law is the LOVE, then when two hearts are united, we share with intelligence. However if LOVE doesn't lead the way, then we fight to unite LOVE, two broken hearts, then we know that we are walking the truth path, the love to each other, the kind that lasts, over rolling hills in time, over the suns, and into the heart of the blue seas of every one. We are the Prophecy, the Rain upon the Land, so parched, it will need a Rainbow, to serve it home the right way and know where to land (the Rainbow always lands on the pot of gold, abundance, brotherhood)!

white buffalo calf woman, warriors,
birthing right has said what i understand.
i have been closed and did not open up correctly
the ways are new and i am not the only one learning
so in the new light there is a way that is shown how
inside i know it ahead and it takes forgetting what we were told before
this is a new way to live,hand in hand.
it is almost upon us and i bless the changes coming
be of good cheer,
this is the beginning ,not the end
from the home of the giant thunderbirds i write you
i continue to learn as all children do
not always in the right order or way but learning still
and sharing is key i see.
i have seen ahead and we as a family survive all time
the apple core is well secure inside,seeds protected from harm
the skin is ripe and the fruit is good
the tree did well this season,it gave a good crop
love always finds a way
sacred is our nine ways to see
learning magnetic reality added to chemistry, we be free
natural laws run to eternity
i see as i saw,
as the fish leaves the sky the water bearer
washes away the old and opens the
flood gates in heaven to re supply the why
AQUArious like rain,
bows down and pours out upon the creations below
from the GREY places beyond
and the MAGenta sphere in front of us
even back to the GREY.
our eyes will open to all these things
it is our terrarium i speak of.
our task is to enjoy its beauty in full living colors
like the rainbow, it is all or none
bear with me as i change my clothes
the old ones were stubborn and worn
peace and blessings
grandmother on the hill

Cherokee - The Daughter of the Sun

The Uktena is the great serpent of Cherokee tales who lives in the mountains. It has rings or spots of color along its body, is horned, is as large around as a tree trunk, and had once a bright, blazing jewel embedded in its forehead called the Ulunsuti. The Ulunsuti is a rutile quartz which, down one side, has a bright streak of red, making it a very rare specimen of quartz besides being sacred in connection to the Uktena. The Great Serpent lost the jewel at one point and the Cheokee people kept it in their possession.
The Uktena had the power to destroy all that Man held most dear and was so venomous that if he ever looked at someone, that person's whole family would perish. Even to look at it while it was sleeping. He isn't a patron of the Cherokee, but rather, is an enemy to be overcome. The Uktena could only be wounded in the seventh spot from his head because that is where the Uktena's heart was. He is normally slain by a hero in tales.
The reason that the Uktena is a creature of such threat is because he was very jealous and bitter towards Snake. Snake was honored and prayed to, (while the Uktena was not), because Snake had struck the Sun's daughter one day while she was opening the doors to the house for the Sun to come in. The Sun was angry and pained that the people liked Moon more. The people could gaze at Moon easily and did so often, complimenting him on his greatness, but when they looked up at Sun they would squint, make faces, and complain. Sun would have continued to burn the people to death as she had already done to hundreds for punishment. Without Her daughter to let Her come in, however, the people were saved.
The Sun lived on the other side of the sky vault, but her daughter lived in the middle of the sky, directly above the Earth. Every day as the sun was climbing along the sky arch to the west, she used to stop at her daughters house for dinner. Now, the Sun hated the people of this Earth, because they never looked straight at her without squinting. She said to her brother, the Moon, "My grandchildren are ugly, they screw up their faces whenever they see me.
But the Moon said, "I like my younger brothers, I think they are handsome."
This was because they always smiled pleasantly at his mild glow in the night sky.
The Sun was jealous of the Moon's popularity and decided to kill the people. Every day when she got near her daughter's house, she sent down such sultry heat that fever broke out and people died by the hundreds. When everyone had lost some friend ands it seemed as if no one would be spared, the humans went for help to the little men. These men, who were friendly spirits, said that the only way the people could save themselves was to kill Sun. The Little Men Made medicine to change two of the humans into snakes, the spreading adder and copperhead, who could hide near the daughter's door and bite the old Sun. The Snakes went up to the sky and lay in wait until the sun arrived for dinner. But when the spreading adder was about to spring, her bright light blinded him and he could only spit out yellow slime, as he does to this day when he tries to bite. The Sun called him a nasty thing and went into the house, and the copperhead was so discouraged that he crawled off without trying to do anything.
The people still dying from the terrible heat, went a second time to the Little Men for help. Again the Little Men made medicine and changed one man into the great Uktena, the water monster, and another into a rattlesnake. As before, the serpents had instructions to kill the old Sun when she stopped at her daughter's house. Uktena was large and fierce, with horns on his head, and everyone thought he would be sure to succeed. But the rattlesnake was so eager that he raced ahead and coiled up just outside the house. When the Sun's daughter opened the door to look for her mother, he struck and she fell dead in the doorway.
Forgetting to wait for the old Sun, he went back to the people, and Uktena was so angry at the rattlesnake's stupidity that he went back too. Since then we pray to the rattlesnake and don't kill him, because he wishes people well and never tries to bite if we don't disturb him. But Uktena grew angrier and more dangerous all the time. He became so venomous that if he even looked at a man, the man's whole family would e. Eventually the people held a council and decided that he was just too dangerous, so they sent him to Galun'lati, the world, where he still is.
When the Sun found her daughter dead, she shut herself up in the house and grieved. Now the people were no longer dying from the heat, but they lived in darkness. Once more they sought help from the Little Men, who said that in order to coax the Sun out, they must bring her daughter back from Tsusgina'i. This is the ghost country, which lies in Usunhi'yi, the Darkening Land in the west. The people chose seven men to make the journey. The Little Men told the seven to take a box, and told each man to carry sourwood rod a handbreadth long. when they got to Tsugina'i, the Little Men explained, they would find all the ghost at a dance. They should stand outside the circle, and when the Sun's daughter danced past them, they must strike her with the rods and she would fall to the ground. Then they could put her in the box and bring her back to her mother. But they must not open the box, not even a crack, until they arrived home.
The seven men took the rods and the box and traveled west for seven days until they came to the Darkening Land. There they found a great crowd of ghost having a dance, just as if they were alive. The Sun's daughter was in the outside circle. As she danced past them, one of the seven men struck her with his rod, and then another and another, until at the seventh round she fell out of the ring. The men put her into the box and closed the lid, and the other ghost never seem to notice what had happened.
The seven took up the box and started home toward the east. In a while the girl came to life again and begged to be let out, but the party went on without answering. Soon she called again and said she was hungry, but they did not reply. When at last the group was very near home, the daughter of the sun cried that she was smothering and begged them to raise the lid just a little. Now they were afraid that she was really dying, so they barely cracked the lid to give her air. There was a fluttering sound, and something flew past them into the bushes. Then they heard a redbird cry, "Kwish!Kwish!Kwish!" Shutting the lid, they went on again. But when they arrived at the settlements and opened the box, it was empty.
So we know that the redbird is the daughter of the Sun. And if the party had kept the box closed, as the Little Men told them to, they could have brought her home safely, and today we would be able to recover our friends from the Ghost Country. Because the seven opened the box, however, we can never bring back people who die.
The Sun had been hopeful when the party had started off for the Darkening Land, but when they came back without her daughter, she wept until her tears caused a great flood. Fearing that the world would be drowned, the people held another council and decided to send their handsomest young men and women to amuse the Sun and stop her crying. This group danced before her and sang their best songs, but for a long time she kept her face bowed and paid no attention. At last when the drummer suddenly changed the song, she looked up and was so pleased at the sight of the beautiful young people that she forgot her grief and smiled.

NEW MOON DANCE (Ghost Walk)
wk: Thank you for sharing your heart with us today. We have much to share. Thank you for allowing us to be near your arc. We are fashioned a window (looks like a rainbow window, with stained glass, it's supposed to go over a window or a door) to show all the people, that if the wood is treated just right, the bowing will wave. Meaning contract and bow, like waves (I see the rainbow stained glass, waving, like it is alive, stained glass window, but it's light shining through, wow what an illusion). There is a dancing light beam, because I added metal compounds inside the glass, it causes the light to move and refract in cindrical (to incinerate, ciner means ashes, and cylindrical, light that bows that is purified) order. This is a gift for the elders, hope you will cherish it for the great hall. If not, it's still a gift. We are together, called the Rhythm Strife, because our clan is a warrior type. WE are often called upon from other tribes. To help those less fortunate. We are for the kingdom of God. With this said. We come to share about the great dance, the ghost walk. Each new moon, the rising Shepard finds to call upon the sacred vow. To be thine wed. It is the calling of the most holy of vows, I do marry, my soul. In this calling, we are majestic, in our knowledge of a great dreaming. Those who can sing to this highest and dine with the lowest are called merciful, yet, in these times, the greatest calling is yet to be revealed. In the days of heavenly trane(moved to tears)/train(get along), we flow into the circle to call upon our shadow to steer us forwards. We are often unworthy in our calling, because we don't access our true spiritual knowledge. When we gather in the mists of the new moon, the darkness quells our need to be shaken from fear, but instead starts to reveal. We lift our feet to dance and sing, to gather the worship of our holy temple, the soul that resides within. Each child of the rainbow arc is promised a great vision. Here we shine to let the world understand and propagate for the furtherment of mankind. When we take the strife or lessons out of our lives, we feel great relief. The flesh is diligent in suffering and it's length to reside in unhappiness continues forth, but as we learn to adapt to the dancing and singing, our flesh is resilient, only because it's at rest. Our souls are set into motion, through the lack of scrutiny of the flesh. WE are automated in the dance, to create a rhythm, with the beat of the feet as the drum shows us the waves we portray. Each time we dance and sing, inside the darkness of everything, where no light abounds, but only the sound. And where there is darkness heaven embraces. There inside this silence, the cradle of mankind is birthed. If we dance and sing, our souls abide this knowledge deep inside, there is eternal wisdom of a soul that long presides of ancient times. Remembering is easier, but more than this, it's breathing. it's literally flight of our spirit. Here inside of us, shakes a thunderous roar, that the smoke rises up to shine from within. Our breath becomes a beacon to follow to guide, to show us wise. From this moment, the sounds, the songs of eternal knowledge rises up to be seen. What is unknown, is revealed. What is known is sealed. We can often misunderstand the dreaming, yet, through this steaming of the eternal knowledge between the rising fire of the dance and the sacred breath that shows it's prance, the waters of heaven join to fulfill all dreams. We are called to display, the sun dance waves, yet, this fire is fulfilled in the darkness of heavenly delight, from my soul, I thee wed, to my flesh, I do dread, but as we team up, to portray, a rainbow column of light will show the waves. And when we crush our hearts of fire, we know we do the ghost dance for awhile, then all will be free, to know the true, the distance of love comes from me to you. And within these halls, we miss the lane, but misunderstand and pick up shame. It's what we are learning to be free, to feel that all this was relatively, what we needed to get us through, this great dreaming, for me and you. As we dance the ghost dance, the new moon says, let us be free, for heavenly knows the waves. And as the sun light disappears from our sight, the darkness begets the inner fire, the sun dance within shines. And as we lift our hearts to be free, it's a time to fulfill prophecy. I put down the talking stick. Thank you.
rh: Yes, I come to share today, the Ghost Story that leads the waves. I gather with many along the way, but most importantly to defeat our fears, we must adjust to darkness. From the moon we learn many things, how to reflect our lives, how to gather the tides, how to bring in hope and distance (food gathering). Once a person flows with tides, it makes us learn about the epic stories to unleash the fathomable pain staking drama of true love. We work hard to love others. Often we feel rejected by this love, all our work, but worthy comes from those who understand that love works to keep all things together, the circle of life. What often is missed, is the chance to hold communion together. This holy act, creates a sanctifying, reaction. in other words, we find our faults and seek to cleanse them out, without really understanding. But for those who understand the cleansing process, man has learned how to keep it an act of communion (fire and water), however the act of godly has left the place. We are seeming uninterested in bringing harmony to the marriage of the wise soul to the wise flesh to the wise dream. each of us hold. We share the Ghost, because it rises forth from us, as a shadow flows, near you always present, our souls know. without guidance and futility, we lack the power to adhere the distance of the solid road. Therefore, in the teaching of the wise, it's the tides of darkness, the holy bonds of matrimony, that cling us together, to become the sacred weather. when we preside to hold our sanctuary spaces together in harmony, through the ghost, the holy spirit, we choose to have this choice, we long to be part of the soul within. Learning to rise up from the shaking to the breathing is all natural, however, this recognition of what we are doing, helps us to cognize the ability to share our revelation with ourselves. IN other words, we become aware of our soul that rises, because as an athlete, we shake the cells up, but strive to bring them together. IN other words, we work out, to feel the shout. We are heroes to our selves. This right/rite is a passage, even for daily venues. For this ghost walking, the talking is the breaths waking spiritual moment, when it's set free. Like feeling the wind, but being in the wind, riding the clouds, the steam rises inside of you. Our fears are often coagulated with the other streams. WE cannot tear ourselves away from the streaming, but understand that the streaming is affecting you, means you are aware of what is happening in your relative space. the ghost is the spiritual being, who knows when to stop and listen without fear, to cast no judge, but to assemble, the breath to breath, to allow the flight to occur. from motion, to flowition, it's the waking of our soul that strives to be in control. From within we are stars of heaven. From without we are learning to be stars from heaven. WE have many fears and to overcome our fears, we must let all go on the way side, purified, to cause no harm for others. With this great cleansing, the rebirthing of the darkness comes to rise. And great marriage proposal is sown, deeper to be born. Many young people find mates during this time. And all places in the circle find relatives to share a common goal, to become aware we are spiritual beings, who purify, become children of heaven, fall on our knees and gift our lives to the sacred beingness of the rainbow clan, we post our heart humbly and chose from our clan, the HOPING CHILD, we share the waking of the fall, when a soul rises up after all (demolition). A child is renewed, rebirthed and awakened, this is the Ghost walking, when our Spiritual child grows closer to the heart of our beat, the sweet sound of our feet. I put the stick down.
cw: Thank you His Royal highness the Manchu (pure). We will do our final song and blessing, I have a few elders who are not well. I have to mention that Grandmother Comfort in the wind says, we are all in a fog.. I think this is a good analogy, however, in the fog is where the breath can ride the clouds. WE have the power of the ghost walk to move our holy spirits in the waves of heavenly reign. Learning to do this, is the task of our joint merging souls and flesh. For all the children of the rainbow are awakening, but without knowledge of their great powers. Learning to do this forsakes us (abandons knowledge), rather than makes us. Joining and gathering brings us closer to the days of reckoning, meaning we purify to the bone (river of blood spring forth, life renewed is the worth), where all the stones are thrown. We shall sing for the Ghost, the spirit that causes the most. Let the spirit fly free.
the Ghost, the spirit that causes the most (sacred song blessings for all the children of the rainbow)
final blessings.
-There is a song today, we fill our hearts with praise. We sing
and dance to prance along, the sacred spiral paved. And as the golden
sings, the bringing of our relief, the songs of hope, inside our scopes,
the dreams we shall believe.
Relatives on the Circle,
