I am here, Uharu.
As you read the book [1491], which you were guided to buy
today, you are realizing that Native approaches were
extremely diverse.
You are thinking, perhaps you yourself have romanticized
Natives in your zeal for justice to them. You think, maybe
it's not at all a cut and dried contrast between the
"good" Natives who cherished the Earth, and the "bad"
Westerners who are destroying it.
Well, one point you need to keep in mind is that the world
is now facing an ecological and environmental crisis which
we Native Americans never faced. The world is much smaller
now, and consequently, whatever is done, particularly on a
large scale, has immense consequences for the entire
Earth.
What was meant, when it was said in past channelings that
Native approaches would supersede the present attitude, is
just that - a new approach is desperately needed, and
there are many Native cultures who can supply this. This
does not deny that other Native attitudes in other areas
of the continent were not of the same quality. No, Natives
are human, first and foremost. And besides, the cultural
diversity of Native America is staggering. That is part of
the problem.
Let me put your mind to rest. I know you get very unhappy
and against yourself when you think you have channeled
your own thoughts instead of the spirits' thoughts.
The fact of the matter is that at this stage in your
mediumship, you have successfully acquired the ability to
catch the thoughts of us spirits. Indeed, oftentimes, you
have disagreed with a thought, but channeled it anyway.
And then you find, later, that there was wisdom, which
your limited mortal brain could not see. No, you need have
no doubts about your ability to capture our thoughts.
You fear that these channelings of yours regarding Native
views on the environment will be attacked, with the
development of more sophisticated insights into their
culture. And yet the fact remains that certain aspects of
their attitudes remain valid today as they were in the
distant past. So much has been taken away that it is hard
to perceive the original reality.
But you do have the advantage of channeling the thoughts
of a Native American, myself, who is actually
communicating his ideas to give to the Earth. And I am
saying that there are valuable aspects to the Native way
of thinking that can be valuable in helping your country
shift gears from exploitation to reverence.
Your future interchanges with Natives will confirm what I
am saying, that reverence for the land and for Nature has
always been deeply embedded in many Native cultures. If
more urban cultures also existed, this doesn't change what
I have said.
So don't worry. Trust that my thoughts are coming through.
The book will change in a good way the common perceptions
and stereotypes of who we Natives were and are. But it
cannot change the fact that many of us have always felt
that what the Creator gave us is indeed sacred.
