Structures fostered by the internet, based on People connecting with People, bypassing the old structures. Structures based on a new Planet-centric “morality” of human consciousness….that crosses all “religious,” dogmatic and ideological boundaries and structures. Intended to unite, not divide, the human race.
A new morality, based on saving the Planet. Saving the Planet for all humanity….not one tribe or nation or country.
(Note: Until this new form of focused human consciousness develops it’s own new lexicon, it will be necessary to to use “religious” terms and phrasing. I urge us all to look beyond any prejudices we may (understandably) have regarding this “old” form of expression and focus on the consciousness behind the language)
A Great Urgency: To All World Religious and Spiritual Leaders,? by
Chief Arvol Looking HorseMay 14, 2010
My Relatives,
Time has come to speak to the hearts of our Nations and their Leaders.
I ask you this from the bottom of my heart, to come together from the
Spirit of your Nations in prayer.We, from the heart of Turtle Island, have a great message for the
World; we are guided to speak from all the White Animals showing their
sacred color, which have been signs for us to pray for the sacred life
of all things.As I am sending this message to you, many Animal Nations are being
threatened, those that swim, those that crawl, those that fly, and the
plant Nations, eventually all will be affect from the oil disaster in
the Gulf.The dangers we are faced with at this time are not of spirit. The
catastrophe that has happened with the oil spill which looks like the
bleeding of Grandmother Earth, is made by human mistakes, mistakes
that we cannot afford to continue to make.
I ask, as Spiritual Leaders, that we join together, united in prayer
with the whole of our Global Communities. My concern is these serious
issues will continue to worsen, as a domino effect that our Ancestors
have warned us of in their Prophecies.I know in my heart there are millions of people that feel our united
prayers for the sake of our Grandmother Earth are long overdue. I
believe we as Spiritual people must gather ourselves and focus our
thoughts and prayers to allow the healing of the many wounds that have
been inflicted on the Earth. As we honor the Cycle of Life, let us
call for Prayer circles globally to assist in healing Grandmother
Earth (our Unc’I Maka).We ask for prayers that the oil spill, this bleeding, will stop. That
the winds stay calm to assist in the work. Pray for the people to be
guided in repairing this mistake, and that we may also seek to live in
harmony, as we make the choice to change the destructive path we are
on.As we pray, we will fully understand that we are all connected. And
that what we create can have lasting effects on all life.So let us unite spiritually, All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer.
Along with this immediate effort, I also ask to please remember June
21st, World Peace and Prayer Day/Honoring Sacred Sites day. Whether it
is a natural site, a temple, a church, a synagogue or just your own
sacred space, let us make a prayer for all life, for good decision
making by our Nations, for our children’s future and well-being, and
the generations to come.Onipikte (that we shall live),

I’ve read from other spiritual traditions the notion of creating one space which is sort of a “sanctuary” for life — in this space you wouldn’t even kill an insect.
Now that’s a “structure” I can get behind.
for one who believes the Earth is a living being, and I am related to all things on her.
Thanks for this.
the ‘white animal’ reference.
I think it refers to the colors of the four directions, but would appreciate some clarification if anyone knows.
I’m no longer interested in saving the planet for humanity. I am interested in what Gaia does, not that I imagine that I can do much for or with her.
In a way, I would imagine his words speak for Gaia more than humans.
Maybe I am for post-humans in a very concrete way.
lining up to to buy CDO’s and short selling out all the animal nations?
Savages. Sheesh.

its unfolding. So we stand here having been given our turn
to offer thanks, but somehow seem to think ourselves too evolved to do so.
So we work like busy bees, so self preoccupied with mechanical productivity, as if life itself requires us to religiously plan on how to assemble and acquire things, that the great gift of life itself falls out of our frame of reference. The sacred disappears.
We cannot engineer our way out of this state of mind. So yes Buhdy, we definitely need some genuinely creative structures to help us discover that universal spirit of thanks again.
a new paradigm, always attentive to, and seeking to make a truer interaction with, reality.
