Enjoy!

Arranged by Rita Coolidge and Robbie Robertson.

We n' de ya ho, We n' de ya ho,
We n' de ya, We n' de ya Ho ho ho ho,
He ya ho, He ya ho, Ya ya ya

Translation - We n' de ya ho

Freely translated: "A we n'" (I am), "de" (of), "Yauh" --the-- (Great Spirit), "Ho" (it is so).

Written as: A we n' de Yauh ho (I am of the Great Spirit, Ho!).

This language stems from very ancient Cherokee

VANISHING PRAYER~

Vanishing Prayer part 2


Just what were our Presidents and other leaders such as McCain doing during this time? In his so-called territory of "just" government?" And now "he" wants to be president of this united states of america? The "land of the free, home of the brave." Yes it did happen and it is still happening all over Indian Country and believe me when I tell you that it can and will happen to you too, no matter what your race or ethical/religious background may be. You think you own your home, the land it is built upon, think again! The earth belongs to no one, WE BELONG TO THE EARTH. And eventually she will get tired of us acting like parasites and shake us off her back, clean herself up and then "she" will begin again...but, the question is will we too begin again? Start treating Mother Earth as you should/would your own birth mother because she is what gave and continues to give you life!

It's worth thinking about as my friend Misty-Eve says and explains below:

If the Law of Attraction tells us that “like attracts like” in the mental world of thought, then what are we drawing into our lives with negative thoughts?

“The most detrimental thing that anyone can do to themselves is to do something that they believe they shouldn't be doing. All kinds of people take action without having aligned the energy with the action. And that's the only reason anything ever goes wrong for anybody, you see.”
~ Abraham-Hicks

PEACE & GOOD WILL TO ALL IN THE COMING TIMES....
ALL OF US, EVERYONE ON THIS BEAUTIFUL BLUE PLANET ARE GOING TO NEED IT.

IF YOU THINK THAT THIS IS THE ONLY INDIGENOUS GROUP OF PEOPLES ON THIS PLANET THAT HAVE HAD TO TAKE "THE LONGEST WALK" THINK AGAIN....STUDY WORLDWIDE HISTORY...AND REMEMBER "HISTORY ALWAYS REPEATS ITSELF"
KEEPING SILENT IS "NOT" THE ANSWER...YOU DECIDE...DO NOT LET ANY OTHER PERSON DO THAT FOR YOU...THE CHOICE IS YOURS...IF WORLD LEADERS WANT TO WAR UPON OTHERS LET THEM WAR AGAINST AND ONLY AGAINST THOSE OTHER WORLD LEADERS....LEAVE US OUT OF IT!

I hope and pray that we can stop this madness before it arrives at YOUR/MINE/OUR doorstep. What matters is NOT the physical things you think you own or possess, the spirit or soul lives forever...you are "FREE SOULS" choose freedom over the fear and control they will try and impose on you....the end of this life is just that...the end of THIS life...if it comes to that. That is worth fighting for but it will never be the end of our spirit, our soul, our existence in this universe. WE have the FREEDOM within us to be the best we can be to ourselves and to all life and that is really all that matters.

Smile and know that you are loved by the Creator of All that is...and that will never change. Be good to one another, help those who need it while not asking nor expecting anything in return....money, gold, silver, gems cannot be eaten.........nor will they keep you alive forever if that is your ultimate goal. Think peace, love, compassion and imagine a beautiful new world without all of the negatives that exist in this one. This world exists, it is very, very real and easily attainable...assume it is so and know it! We need to work together to achieve it and we will.

PEACE and Love to ALL LIFE
TARA

The justification for Public Law 93-531 passed by Congress in 1974 was that the Navajo-Hopi land dispute is so serious that 10,000 Navajos near Big Mountain, Arizona, must be relocated, forcibly if necessary. It would be the largest forced relocation of U.S. citizens since the relocation of Japanese-Americans during World War II.

But tradition-minded Navajo and Hopi claim there never was a land dispute. They say the dispute was invented to get the Navajos and their livestock off mineral-rich land in the Hopi reservation so it could be developed by mining companies such as Peabody Coal and Kerr-McGee.

This should cost McCain any possibility of him ever being the next president of the United States, period.

KRISHNAMURTI~ INTELLECT CORRUPTS FEELING

=== JKrishnamurti.org - Daily Quote ===

INTELLECT CORRUPTS FEELING

You know, there is the intellect, and there is pure feeling - the pure feeling of loving something, of having great, generous emotions. The intellect reasons, calculates, weighs, balances. It asks, 'Is it worthwhile? Will it give me benefit?' On the other hand, there is pure feeling - the extraordinary feeling for the sky, for your neighbor, for your wife or husband, for your child, for the world, for the beauty of a tree, and so on. When these two come together, there is death. Do you understand? When pure feeling is corrupted by the intellect, there is mediocrity. That is what most of us are doing. Our lives are mediocre because we are always calculating, asking ourselves whether it is worthwhile, what profit we will get, not only in the world of money, but also in the so-called spiritual world - 'If I do this, will I get that?'

INTELLECT WILL NOT SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS

Most of us are so unconcerned with this extraordinary universe about us; we never even see the waving of the leaf in the wind; we never watch a blade of grass, touch it with our hand and know the quality of its being. This is not just being poetic, so please do not go off into a speculative, emotional state. I say it is essential to have that deep feeling for life and not be caught in intellectual ramifications, discussions, passing examinations, quoting and brushing something new aside by saying it has already been said. Intellect is not the way. Intellect will not solve our problems; the intellect will not give us that nourishment which is imperishable. The intellect can reason, discuss, analyze, come to a conclusion from inferences, and so on, but intellect is limited, for intellect is the result of our conditioning. But sensitivity is not. Sensitivity has no conditioning; it takes you right out of the field of fears and anxieties.…

We spend our days and years in cultivating the intellect, in arguing, discussing, fighting, struggling to be something, and so on. And yet this extraordinarily wonderful world, this earth that is so rich - not the Bombay earth, the Punjab earth, the Russian earth or the American earth - this earth is ours, yours and mine, and that is not sentimental nonsense; it is a fact. But unfortunately we have divided it up through our pettiness, through our provincialism. And we know why we have done it - for our security, for better jobs and more jobs. That is the political game that is being played throughout the world, and so we forget to be human beings, to live happily on this earth that is ours and, to make something of it.

THE FLASH OF UNDERSTANDING

I do not know if you have noticed that there is understanding when the mind is very quiet, even for a second; there is the flash of understanding when the verbalization of thought is not. Just experiment with it and you will see for yourself that you have the flash of understanding, that extraordinary rapidity of insight, when the mind is very still, when thought is absent, when the mind is not burdened with its own noise. So, the understanding of anything - of a modern picture, of a child, of your wife, of your neighbor, or the understanding of truth, which is in all things - can only come when the mind is very still. But such stillness cannot be cultivated because if you cultivate a still mind, it is not a still mind, it is a dead mind.

The more you are interested in something, the more your intention to understand, the more simple, clear, free the mind is. Then verbalization ceases. After all, thought is word, and it is the word that interferes. It is the screen of words, which is memory, that intervenes between the challenge and the response. It is the word that is responding to the challenge, which we call intellection. So, the mind that is chattering, that is verbalizing, cannot understand truth - truth in relationship, not an abstract truth. There is no abstract truth. But truth is very subtle…. Like a thief in the night, it comes darkly, not when you are prepared to receive it.

THE UNGUARDED INTELLECT

You can know yourself only when you are unaware, when you are not calculating, not protecting, not constantly watching to guide, to transform, to subdue, to control; when you see yourself unexpectedly, that is, when the mind has no preconceptions with regard to itself, when the mind is open, unprepared to meet the unknown.

If your mind is prepared, surely you cannot know the unknown, for you are the unknown. If you say to yourself, 'I am God,' or 'I am nothing but a mass of social influences or a bundle of qualities' - if you have any preconception of yourself, you cannot comprehend the unknown, that which is spontaneous.

So spontaneity can come only when the intellect is unguarded, when it is not protecting itself, when it is no longer afraid for itself; and this can happen only from within. That is, the spontaneous must be the new, the unknown, the incalculable, the creative, that which must be expressed, loved, in which the will as the process of intellect, controlling, directing, has no part. Observe your own emotional states and you will see that the moments of great joy, great ecstasy, are unpremeditated; they happen, mysteriously, darkly, unknowingly.

MEMORY HAS NO LIFE IN ITSELF

What do we mean by thought? When do you think? Obviously, thought is the result of a response, neurological or psychological, is it not? It is the immediate response of the senses to a sensation, or it is psychological, the response of stored-up memory. There is the immediate response of the nerves to a sensation, and there is the psychological response of stored-up memory, the influence of race, group, guru, family, tradition, and so on - all of which you call thought. So, the thought process is the response of memory, is it not? You would have no thoughts if you had no memory, and the response of memory to a certain experience brings the thought process into action.

What, then, is memory? If you observe your own memory and how you gather memory, you will notice that it is either factual, technical, having to do with information, with engineering, mathematics, physics, and all the rest of it - or, it is the residue of an unfinished, uncompleted experience, is it not? Watch your own memory and you will see. When you finish an experience, complete it, there is no memory of that experience in the sense of a psychological residue. There is a residue only when an experience is not fully understood, and there is no understanding of experience because we look at each experience through past memories, and therefore we never meet the new as the new, but always through the screen of the old. Therefore, it is clear that our response to experience is conditioned, always limited.

Understanding "pure feelings" ... making sense of it all...so called "intellect"
It takes a life's time of work. Or?..many, many life times to get it right. But I know it is possible, or we would NOT be here now.

Just know that you are loved and love is real, here, now, and all around us at all times. We are never alone.

The main questions in life: Why am I here? Where did I come from? And where do I go when I die?... We all wish that we had the answers, that "someone" would tell us. But, it doesn't work that way does it? You have to figure it out for yourself. Life is balance, yin and yang....after all, we are all human ..learn to quiet your mind and hang in there.


Peace
