           Moving Towards the Ancient Future

As the ancient wisdom of the indigenous grandmothers will reveal, the

experience of earth life is like the shape of the planet, circular. This is

why the indigenous people, who have remained close and in tune with

the Earth Mother dance in a circular pattern in their ceremonies and

celebrations. They consider their prayers as spiraling upwards towards

the Creator above the sun.

The grandmothers repeatedly said that those who believed they usurped

the power and life force of the indigenous humans, calling them "a

conquered people" perhaps do not grasp the most basic of concepts

regarding the earth experience. It is simply that what is put out returns

back to you as it moves in a circular motion returning to source.

They continue with their lesson indicating that when an individual (or

group) does not honor the spiritual aspects of themselves, they do not

honor the same in others. Nor do they honor the spirit of the earth. The

fear that results in believing that they are separated from Creator tends to

cause them to attempt to fill themselves with material goods, acquisition

of other's belongings or dwelling places, and even their life force. The

"conquerors" act from intense fear, desperately attempting to find

fulfillment. Yet, in their desperation, they are unable to connect with

their true life force effectively, that of spirit.

Their life experiences proved that, in their wise opinions, in the raid of

the indigenous people's way of life by the Caucasians, one of the last

strongholds of the original occupants on the North American Continent

was the area the Blackfeet Indians, of Alberta Canada, held. They had

seldom interbred with the interlopers and had maintained their ancient

ways, even during the plight of the bad medicine the whiskey traders

brought.

The grandmothers were medicine people and saw the wave of

oppression. Their power comes from within where Creator dwells.

Within and without, all that is, Creator is the spiral, the circle.

The wise elder women knew too well that communication does not

occur unless the listener comprehends the words of the speaker. All too

speeches to their audiences that are not understood. Perhaps those

people either assume that others understand their grandiose words or

don't care as their main goal is not communication but to prove they are

superior linguistically.

Being of the Blackfoot language with very little English, the elders

results are confusion and frustration by those who truly wish to find a

link between themselves and the speaker. Often politicians use "double

speak," saying the opposite of what they mean to delude the masses into

passive submission. Lawyers and doctors have created their own unique

those who are formally educated in today's society present verbose

speeches to their audiences that are not understood. Perhaps those

people either assume that others understand their grandiose words or

don't care as their main goal is not communication but to prove they are

superior linguistically.

Being of the Blackfoot language with very little English, the elders

results are confusion and frustration by those who truly wish to find a

link between themselves and the speaker. Often politicians use "double

speak," saying the opposite of what they mean to delude the masses into

passive submission. Lawyers and doctors have created their own unique

language, not understandable by the average person, so that they can

decode it at a hefty price.

The grandmothers discussed within their circle wondering how often had

a self important speaker presented a message to a group of indigenous

elders knowing that the audience only pretends to understand his words,

claps when cued by another formally educated individual, laugh when

the other does, nod their heads on cue? Then they suppose that he walks

away feeling superior in believing that even the older people of the

ancient races just have understood him. If the elders could only help him

live in the spiral, learn to listen to his inner spiritual voice, he be

empowered spiritually.

The grandmothers know that the Blackfeet have not been dominated by

the Caucasians for over a century and a half yet, unlike most of the American

Indian tribes. Their vitality is still inherent and their strength

has not been overwhelmed, it is rising up again. They who have had

fewer years of oppression and Caucasian dominance will hopefully be

sought out by those who are awakening to their true roots.

The indigenous elders are aware that the Caucasian method of

governance has been a failure with these people as the ideas, concepts,

means of communication and philosophies are alien causing a rift. The

only solution is for the Caucasians to meet them halfway, understand

their ancient ways, and initiate a system that is appropriate.Even in

Indian schools, it seems that most often the children are forced to study

history from a Caucasian perspective with not enough real coverage of

their own culture.

It appears to the grandmothers that a large percentage of the race of

mankind is disjointed because of one dominant race trying to force their

system on the rest of the world. Grandfather Sixapo stated, "In my

youth, I don't recall having a lack of drinking water, if I was out hunting

and got thirsty, I drank from a stream. There were no chemical

fertilizers, the air was clear and there was no cancer epidemic. Starting

in the latter half of the 20th century it seemed that the big cities and their

factories had to find a quick fix for their waste products and soon our

people’s garden hose water was poisoning the grass. The indigenous way

of life seemed to be desecrated inwardly and outwardly in all ways.”

A group of environmentalists invited Ba-Ti-Ga-Sa-Pi to speak at a water

seminar at the University of Lethbridge as he was known as perceptive

in nature studies. He explained that the natural spring on the reserve

where his people went to obtain blessed water was now capped off with

a sign saying that the water was polluted. The professionals at the seminar

admitted that their educational degrees were useless if they

could not predict nature or the supply or cessation of water. They were

desperate for answers from someone who could guide them. They

admitted that the chemical pesticides and fertilizers had disrupted the

balance of the ecosystem and even thinned the ozone layer removing the

basic elements of the sun stimulating the root to grow properly.

Through the teachings of his elders, Ba-Ti-Ga-Sa-Pi had an

understanding of the natural balance of nature. Previously, he said he

could accurately predict weather events. But eventually, due to high tech

interference by the power brokers, that was no longer possible. It

appears as though humans endure nuclear blasts, friendly bombs,

biological and chemical warfare, ELF waves from HAARP and

microwaves blasting away at us, lab created race specific diseases, and

chemtrails cris-crossing our skies full of barium, aluminum particles,

viruses, and bacteria. Even more importantly there have been obvious

psychological manipulations through constant fear tactics has put most

of us in a fog as humans.

As the wise elders knew, the tactics used to dominate the indigenous

have been used to build upon to also manipulate and control the masses,

all races included. Those power mongers whose game is to continue to

dominate all aspects of life on the planet consider it great sport. It seems

as though their monetary gain is no longer exciting as their mountain

ranges of material wealth are immeasurable. Has their attention has gone

to playing mankind like chess pieces on the giant chess board we call

earth?

Many of the ancient predictions indicate that the Earth Mother will and

humanity will go through dramatic changes where truth is being told,

evil perpetrators are being brought to justice, and a new dawn will open

up in a higher vibratory dimension where life is as it should be without

the debt prison that society became due to the manipulators.

The prayers of the grandmothers always include that in the circle of life,

intent and actions eventually return to source, so the plunder of the

indigenous by the greedy interlopers will come full circle. Many of those

who called the indigenous "a conquered people" are now awakening to

the fact that they too have been victimized by a small group of elite.

Through manipulation of the masses through their controlled media,

double speak, falsified historical education and psychological warfare,

humanity has been deluded into believing they were free when they were

in bondage. It is the most insidious kind of slavery, that of the mind and

spirit, and it is becoming more evident that the intent of the elite have

attempted to eradicate a large portion of the populace through various

means and to enslave the remainder of them physically.

The grandmothers knew that all is a learning experience for all factions,

all is of Creator. Those who have been oppressed are awakening to the

truth of the deceptions they were told about their world. Dark always

moves towards the light for illumination, so the dark operatives in this

earthly drama, if they have souls, will repent and move towards

enlightenment, that spark of Creator's great fire.

The prayers of the indigenous grandmothers were strong in their

hopes that all the players with viable souls, no bots or clones or

MK-Ultra mind controlled individuals, in the 3rd dimensional

scenarios come to a unified discovery of that fact and choose love.

They prayed fervently that the time of solving differences through

violence will come to an end for humanity, hoping that the time for

love and compassion will dominate and unify. The old scenarios are

worn out and becoming boring for we students of life. Are we

experiencing a paradigm shift?
