the old days and ways

i was born remembering pieces of my past life.....i was born knowing from my earliest memory that i am/was a full blood lakota, and pieced together that my people were sicangu lakota......i was b9rn about 1798 on the missouri river and my band was living around the location or North Platte nebraska in my early years, travelling north to the black hills and the rest of our people who stayed east, north and sometimes west of Bear Butte south Dakota...............some of the incidents and memories will be passed along in these 'blogs'.....i clearly recall the landscape and when i later travelled there as an adult in this life, except for the roads and houses, the actual landscape was exactly as i recalled it to be...i found where we camped, hunted and lived........when i was about 10 or 12 years old in that life,i recall sitting by one of the buffalo hide tipi and talking with a middle aged man....i called him 'uncle', a term of respect whether he was my blood uncle or not, and i asked him why we were camped there, when the rest of our people camped north of us.....he told me that the non natives were coming, and tyhat a few years earlier they came along the river in boats, when we still camped north with our people,and it had to be the earliest exporers mapping the rivers for others to follow.....he said our old holy men saw what was to come, with non natives pouring into the land one day, and that this area of north platte would be a main route,and so we were camped down here to try to intimidate them from entering our territory, mostly north of that.....he said they would be very many coming, and that is why every time we killed buffalo, and the flies gathered like a swarm at the kill, people would say the wasicu were coming, meaning thay would be many, swarming to the dying of our ways.....he said there was no stopping it, the holy men see 7 generations ahead, and it was to be, but we would do what we must, and defend our lands and people....but this time, that should have been happy and joyous, still living free, was tainted by the knowledge of what was to come, and a mist of great heart sick sadness kept trying to pull us down, and we all struggled to keep the light and harmony alive, for that was the way of life we were struggling, and would even fight to defend......not just the physical life of roaming the lands, hunting, gathering and fishing,...but, to spiritual way of life.....this was the feeling, discussion, and view of THAT time period........it was also known, then, in the early 1800's, that parts of our way must go, so that the next world could come.....( this concept was later embraced by wovoka in his 'visions'( which i suspect were induced and there for not totally reliable)........in this life, i encountered some very old natives who knew this all full well, but refused to let go of control, power and position, to make way for the changing world to come,.....and one very old cheyenne holy man told me they would all be leaving, and until the new holy men and holy women of the next era of humanity arise and go old enough to be wise, there would only be a few keeping things moving in the right direction for the sake of all humanity, not just their own little tribe, nation, country or ethnic group.....we are in that transitional period now, and the young children of today will be the first true elders and holy ones of the new era; and the next seven generation are marked by a continued struggle of light and spirit against darkness, greed, and personal lusts.....by 2045,the young children today in 2010 will be able to look back on their lives, and know for sure they have 'made it' and any danger of slipping back into the twilight of mind and spirit; has passed. until then, we must each struggle to live in light and harmony, to guide there young ones to make the right future for all mankind.....anyone who disputes this; does not KNOW what they are talking about, i am one of the transitional keepers....galleagle@hotmail.com

the old ones-longhouse peoples

ok....the old ones gave me this, and said one day to tell it...and now they say is the day........i went to a sweat on the reserve of my freind, as i had some things to do....it was run by a little bear medicine man.....during the sweat the top of the lodge fell away and i saw the night sky above...i told this in my book, but what i did not tell anyone until now......as i reached the higher consciousness, all the accumulated toxins in my body were burned off, apparently created a smell like the worste fart ever, and cleared the lodge, so we went outside for a few minutes to air it out before we continued, i was was floating as i walked, not quite here, and almost gone there....and i was in a near distance field, and old time village with long houses.....though it was night at the sweat, it was mid day at the village, and an old grandmother was calling me over, she said ' i want you to see this, too, so you can tell them about it, this is how we lived in our time....' and i began walking through the darkness of the night time sweat, toward to village of longhouses in the mid day sunshine....i saw women preparing food, men working on hunting gear, people being productive at thier tasks.....how the people lived physically is not what she wanted me to see.....there was harmony and contentment in camp, no harsh word or thought....no anger of resentment, no jealousy, no craving, no imbalance of ANY kind, and the harmony of each person, fed the harmony of others, and no intrusions were allowed into the camp by any individual....by each living in harmony, strengthened the harmony of all.........what many have been seeking; they had it, lived it, each person was at peace within camp,each family at harmony within itself, and when families shared a long house, in close quarters, you HAD to live in harmony..........i was walking to that village in the past and would have kept walking, not caring if i ever came back, or even could come back, i just wanted to go be a part if it, at least for a while........in families today, this is where it starts, or ends, live in harmony......and it spreads out from there.......my freind touched my arm and took me by the arm at the elbow, "brother, the sweat is back this way',he said, and guided me back to the sweat where i continued with other experiences.....i will write more about this later, and the whole subject...i have subsequently used the same point in time/space/spirit/consciousness..to do the same for others, who also wanted to walk off into the world of another time that opened for them......these things happen, the doubters disclaim it as it has never happened to them, but then, they are not really seeking spirit, but material things after all...i am the one and only chokecherry gall eagle.

seven direction-saced direction

the seventh direction might be described as ableza miyelo in lakota, ' the one who observes, i am called ' ..........myself, the observer of the other six directions, standing center of all six levels, at the center,; i am that am, what is, is me;and i am it, i am related to, and part of all things as they are part of me; i own nothing but i 'have' all the earth under my stewardship, to keep whole and clear, in the light and harmony; and so am i, light and clear and in harmony, at the center, i am these things, light surrounds me, flows in and out with me; each breath is sacred, as my being is a sacred thing, and so i will treat it that way, and treat all people and things that way, i am holy, i am sacred, as ALL is holy and sacred, every breath i make is a silent prayer to the ears, but penetrating all of creation;saying: bless you, thank you, we are ONE, we ARE,- chokecherry gall eagle galleagle@hotmail.com

seven directions-seven grandfathers

many know the 4 directions; and some know and are talking about the 5 th and 6 th; namely all that is above us, all that is below us ( when we fly like and eagle and transcend); but the 7 th direction is ourself; standing at the CENTER of all these;the being observing and recognising these......this is also the last verse of the directions song; and completes that prayer way.....chokecherry gall eagle

apocapypse 2012, mayan calendar

the fact that the mayan calendar ends in 2012 simply means that it is the end on an ERA; not of the world, of course. just as there are migration stories of peoples in north america travelling through various worlds; we are marking the end of one world; so that the next one may begin...... entering the next world, fully, will take 7 generations; but the hardest time will be the next 4 generations. this co incides with the prophecies of lame deer; of myself, as well as many other prophets and seers and saints.
