Native american wisdom and call for mother earth healing

“You must decide. You can’t avoid it. Each of us is put here in this time and this place to personally decide the future of humankind. Did you think the Creator would create unnecessary people in a time of such terrible danger? Know that you yourself are essential to this World. Believe that! Understand both the blessing and the burden of that. You yourself are desperately needed to save the soul of this World. Did you think you were put here for something less?”

Quotes on shamanism & spiritual quotes

Hello everyone,

As the june solstice is getting closer, I have decided today to post a great message from a great native chief and wise man, Arvol Looking Horse. It is a call for prayer and changing, a call to all the nations of the world and to any of us. It is from September 2001, but unfortunatly not much has changed yet or not enough and it’s still totally up to date. I hope you will take a little while to read it because despite what we are being told on regular basis each of us has the power to change things and the world.

How is this relating to shamanism? In many ways and among all, we always celebrate solstices as the most important time of the year, we pray daily for mother earth and we thanks daily for our food and for the great miracle of life. We will be here at the solstice, meditating and joining this event with our soul and calling for this change all together with Chief Arvol Looking Horse and all the people and shamans that will join from the whole world.

So thanks again to Chief Arvol Looking Horse for this message of  wisdom and thanks to remind us that although a number of blind or greed people are doing anything to our mother earth and his people to earn money, the power to stop them all  is still totally in our hands. Please also remember this quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry:

“Your task is not to foresee the future, but to enable it.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

A message to the world from Chief Arvol Looking Horse

“Mitakuye (my relatives, my parents),

I, Chief Arvol Looking Horse of the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota Nation, would like to ask for this time for you to understand an Indigenous perspective in reflection of what has happened in America, what we call “Turtle Island.”

For the past six years, my work has concentrated on an effort in uniting the Global community, through a message from our sacred ceremonies, in recognizing a day of World Peace and Prayer on June 21st as a time to unite spiritually, each in our own ways of beliefs in the Creator. We have been warned from the messages, passed down from Ancient Prophecies, of these times we live in today — but also a very important message of a solution to turn these terrible times around.

To assist you in understanding the depth of this message involves the recognition in the importance of Sacred Sites. It is important that you realize the whole interconnectedness of what is happening today, in reflection of the continued massacres that are occurring on other lands and our own Americas.

I have been learning about these important issues of Sacred Sites since the age of 12, upon receiving the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe Bundle and its teachings. Our people have strived to protect Sacred Sites from the beginning of time. There needs to be an understanding in the concern of the protection of Sacred Sites that goes deeper than just the issue of Shrines built by humans. Our people have built similar objects and Shrines to identify and to remind the significance in the power of the Sacred Site. We have also witnessed them being destroyed for many decades, but we also realize it is what is underneath them that is important. These places have been violated for centuries and have brought us to this predicament that we are in concerning the unstable Global Level thus far.

Look around you: Our Mother Earth is very ill from these violations, and we are at a brink of destroying a healthy and nurturing survival for generations to come, our children’s children. Our ancestors have been trying to protect our Sacred Site from the continued violations called the Sacred Black Hills in South Dakota, “Heart of Everything that Is.” Our ancestors never saw this site from a satellite view, but now that those pictures are available with modern technology, we see that it is in the shape of a heart — and when fast forwarded it looks like a heart pumping. The Dine have been protecting Big Mountain, calling it the liver, and now that the coal is depleting, we are suffering, and going to suffer more, from the extraction of the coal and poison processes used in doing so.

The Aborigines have warned of the contaminating effects on the Corral Reefs from Global Warming, which they see as Mother Earth’s blood purifier. Our sacred water is being polluted.

The Indigenous people of the Rain Forest relay that the Rain Forests are the lungs and need protection. And now we see the Brazilian Government approved the depletion of 50 percent of this Sacred Site.

The Gwich’in Nation has an issue of oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge coastal plain, also known to the Gwich’in as “Where the life begins!”

The coastal plain is also the birthplace of many other life forms of Animal Nations. The death of these Animal Nations will destroy Indigenous Nations in this territory.

As these destructive developments continue all over the world, we will witness many more extinct Animal, Plant, and Human Nations, because of the misuse of power that mankind has made and their lack of understanding the “balance of life.” The Indigenous People warn that these destructive developments will cause havoc globally. There are many, many more Indigenous awarenesses and knowledge of Mother Earth’s Sacred Sites, connections (Mother Earth’s Chakras) to our spirit that will surely affect our future generations. These people are still suffering from this contamination, and their livelihood is being destroyed as I write this to you.

There needs to be a fast move toward other forms of energy that are safe for all Nations upon Mother Earth. We need to understand the whole picture in the type of minds that are continuing to destroy the spirit of our whole Global Community. Unless we do this, the powers of destruction will overwhelm us.

Our Ancestors foretold that water would someday be for sale. Back then this was hard to believe, since the water was so plentiful, so pure, and so full of energy, nutrition, and spirit. Today we have to buy pure water, and even then the nutritional minerals have been taken out; it’s just empty liquid. Someday water will be like gold, too expensive to afford. Not everyone will have the right to drink safe water.

We fail to appreciate and honor our Sacred Sites, ripping out the minerals and gifts that lie underneath them, as if Mother Earth were simply a resource instead of the Source of Life itself.

Attacking Nations and having to utilize more resources to carry out the destruction in the name of Peace and elimination is not the answer! We need to understand how all these decisions affects the Global Nation. We will not be immune to it’s repercussions.

To allow continual contamination of our food and land is now affecting the way we think. A “disease of the mind” has set in World Leaders and many members of our Global Community, with their understanding that a solution of retaliation and destruction of peoples will bring Peace.

In our Prophecies it is told that we are now at the Crossroads: Either unite Spiritually as a Global Nation, or be faced with chaos, disasters, diseases, and tears from our relatives eyes.

In times of disasters it is sad to say that it is the only time that we unite spiritually. But we must not taint it with anger and retaliation. We are the only species that is destroying the Source of life, meaning Mother Earth, in the name of power, mineral resources, and ownership of land, using methods of chemicals and warfare that are becoming irreversible, as Mother Earth is becoming tired and can not sustain any more impacts of war.

I ask you to join me on this endeavor. Our vision is for the Peoples of all continents, regardless of their beliefs in the Creator, to come together as one at their Sacred Sites at that sacred moment of what is known as the Summer Solstice of June 21st, to pray and meditate and commune with one another, thus promoting an energy shift to heal our Mother Earth and achieve a universal consciousness toward attaining Peace.

As each day passes bringing us to this day of concentration together, I ask the Global Nations to begin a Global effort, in knowing that each and every one of us is making a daily effort in waking to a gratitude of another day that is gifted to us, and begin to remember to give thanks for the Sacred Food that has been also gifted to us by our Mother Earth, so the nutritional energy of medicine can be guided to heal our minds and spirits.

This new millennium will usher in an age of harmony — or it will bring the end of life as we know it. Starvation, war, and toxic waste have been the hallmark of the Great Myth of Progress and Development that ruled the last millennium. To us, as caretakers of the heart of Mother Earth, falls the responsibility of turning back the powers of destruction.

We have come to a time and place of great urgency. The fate of future generations rests in our hands. We must understand the two ways we are free to follow as we choose — the positive way, or the negative way; the spiritual way, or the material way.

It’s our own choice — each of ours and all of ours. You yourself are the one who must decide. You alone — and only you — can make this crucial choice. Whatever you decide is what you’ll be, to walk in honor or to dishonor your relatives. You can’t escape the consequences of your own decision. On your decision depends the fate of the entire World.

You must decide. You can’t avoid it. Each of us is put here in this time and this place to personally decide the future of humankind. Did you think the Creator would create unnecessary people in a time of such terrible danger? Know that you yourself are essential to this World. Believe that! Understand both the blessing and the burden of that. You yourself are desperately needed to save the soul of this World. Did you think you were put here for something less?

In a Sacred Hoop of Life, where there is no beginning and no ending!

Mitakuye Oyasin,”
