We are being called to gather at the Ghost Dance ...

To let our hearts be heard!

There can be little denial by those who walk the Earth at this time that whatever it is that we are all experiencing emotionally, physically, or with the climatic changes, economic changes, as well as changes in Consciousness……it is an inescapable fact that we are in the beginning throws of great changes on almost every level of life’s expression. The Quickening is upon us. There are dreams that seem to spontaneously come alive within our being that have no face, yet leave a feeling of memory of a life that overlays this life. It is the process of awakening. We have been given to opportunity to remember on this side of the veil so that we could effect the changing of our destiny�?That we could choose the outcome of this dream. We are being called to gather at the Ghost Dance, to let our hearts be heard.

We have come to a time of remembrance. Remembrance of who we are as a race, who we are as individuals, and why we have come into expression upon the Earth plane. This time is an opportunity to remember your original dream of life upon the mother and why you chose to manifest into the physical to meet your challenges as you walked through your own dream. As we learn to become masters of destiny.

This is the final initiation that we walk through now, welcome to the Great Quatrain - The Final Initiation, where we will meet and have the opportunity to overcome all of our duality. Where we have come to experience the Life review of our creations, so that we might own them. That we might overcome every block to our evolutionary advancement, every fear, that would distort the reality of the inner vision of what you are by right of your divine nature. All that has been comprised by the altered Ego, every illusion we must now call forth, the illusions that were created to keep you confined within the prison of limited thinking, so that you might remain the God unrealized, the God in amnesia.

Try as we will we can not untwine from the grasp of the steely beast that seems to strengthen it’s hold upon us the more we struggle against it’s grasp. There is a plague upon the land, the beast seems to loom above us, mocking our spirituality. Anger and Violence will not chase it away, it reflects back to us what is within our innermost feelings. When we try to use the old warrior energy we actually strengthen it’s hold upon us. We feed it’s energy. We must seek a new way to free the human spirit.

What way is available to us? It seems we have exhausted every possible means of resources. Each day we wrestle the emotional messengers the beast sends to us to test our strength of purpose and self worth. The cloud people said we have forgotten how to dream, we have forgotten the power of the dream that creates the dream. It is time to create a new Global Vision. It is time to create a new dream for humanity. For our strength is in our union - not our separateness. We must find a place and a way to come from heart. For we are warriors of the hearts.

It is time to call forth the power of what we were, the power of our ancestors. It is time for the Ghost Dance. We can and will dream the new reality into fruition. It is time to use our spiritual power, the power of the human spirit. We will dream our ancestors into the now and as we become one with the vision. We will, through the Ghost Dance, reconnect the bridge that separates us from our heritage, as well as the destiny of our future memory.

Through the power of the Ghost Dance we can bridge the gap in time. We can regain our majesty of being, and we can influence the Quickening of change, and cause the awakening of our spirit. We can empower the dream . We shall live again, we shall birth the new consciousness as we remember and own our reality as we remember that�?. we are the dream.

Look to the sky, see for yourself. The signs are everywhere. Do you feel the drops that fall from the cloud people as your hear the moaning of the wind? They are the tears of those who have gone before us to the after world�?they are tears of joy for they see us coming home…………�?

Of course you may share. The more people that see, the more the word gets spread. That's what it's all about yes? Just maybe a mention of where you got it would be appreciated.

I get alot of my pictures from Wicked Moon, yours as well....here's the link :)

Enjoy sweetie...and have a great day

I enjoyed that text so much! I felt I was one of the ghost dancer and called to dance for the planet.

As far as I know, native americans did not believe in reincarnation. There was a close link between live and dead people but it was also clear that the dead were in their place and the living on this earth.

So why, being european, should I feel so at home in that text?

Thank You Stacy

You my dear are a blessing, I am mearly a messenger..I love you

I think my friend, that every soul has a core essence...and this is your's.

One of the many stops along your path....It's a goodun alright...I'm very much enjoying my stop here as well

But no matter where your journey takes you...you will always end up here....to your essence. It takes a very astute person to hear that call...and an extremely wise person to heed it

Dance Sista Dance!!!! :)

Ghost Dance

The principal ceremonial rite of a peculiar Indian religion with originated about 1887 with Wovoka, alias jack Wilson, an Indian of the Piute tribe in Nevada. He claimed to have obtained his revelation in a vision in which he had been taken into the spirit world and talked with God, Who had promised a speedy return to the old Indian life through the reincarnation of all the dead Indians, the buffalo and other game, upon a new earth, which was already advancing from the west and would push before it the alien whites to their own proper country beyond the ocean, while the Indian believers would be taken up, as by wings, upon the new surface, and there reunited with their old-time friends. By performance of the prescribed dance and songs the consumation would be hastened, while in the frequent hypnotic trances brought about by the efforts of the priests the more sensitive subjects were enabled to anticipate the event in visions.

The belief spread among nearly all of the tribes eastward of the Missouri, and produced much excitement for several years, until several dates of the great change had passed without realization of the prophecy, when the ferment gradually subsided. In Dakota it lead indirectly to an outbreak among the Sioux in the winter of 1890-1, notable events of which were the killing of Sitting Bull and the massacre at Wounded Knee. In the dance, men and women held hands, facing toward the centre, singing the ghost songs, without instrumental accompaniment, while the priests within the circle brought the more sensitive subjects into the trance condition by means of hypnotizing performances. An essential doctrine of the new religion was the brotherhood of man, and in consequence of this all acts or ceremonies of a warlike nature were prohibited.

Wow, yes, I see how the last addition of Ghost Dance is so in tune for this thread.

Perhaps these gosts are rising. Not as thier own entities, but as spirits inside the living.

Personally, I am in this life, a white woman... however, I have memories of a Native American life... among others. I would be honored to participate in a ghost dance, but that calling has not come to me yet. I do feel a calling towards learning the ways of a Shaman, but so far my teacher has not come to me. I have learned some of the ways from my step - father, who is 1/2 sweedish, 3/16 Cherokee, and the rest is Minnecanche (?) Soiux. I have also had several spirit and animal guides since I was 14 and began learning the ways. Having had this upbrining for so many years, I have also studied the history of the Native peoples. The Massacre at Wounded Knee in Pine Ridge Reservation was the last in a long line of tragedies. Personally, I follow the path that Grandfather has laid out for me as I await the rising of the Phoenix. Our time will come again and that of the Old Ways... the surge in so called "New Age" beliefs heralds the return to that belief system. Await your time, and anwer the call, when it comes and we will survive this as well... we are survivors. I have dreamed of the fallen empire and I have seen.. we will rise again. The Miracle is here.

Howie...Ya know I have had that same thought myself at times.

I do think that these spirits work through some, but not as intensive as like Walk In's for example...more as guides for a time to implant or pass knowledge.

How else would this knowlege be known?

Seems plauseable to me :)

Sabella..Hi...It's really great to see you jumping in.

When you are ready, the teacher will come. Please know that.

I too have fleeting memories of past events. For example, everytime I think of the trail of tears, my entire being is filled with such longing and sadness. These longings differ at times, sometimes they revolve around a great sense of loss, of family, of home, and a life and home that can never be replaced. I also have earlier memories of running free, clear crystal streams, childrens laughter, games I have never played "in this incarnation"

the smell of fire, and wonderful memories of succulent feasts after a successful hunt.

I also feel our time of waiting is almost over, and a new world will be born. Yes, the miracle is here

and we will rise again :)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your heart

SabellaVamp..I so enjoyed

Do you feel the drops that fall from the cloud people as your hear the moaning of the wind?
