Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 The Compassionate Circle of Life Seven generations ago, our ancestors landed on the shores of North America, and were taught by the people of this land how to live in harmony with Mother Earth. Had we not been educated by the natives, we would not have survived. Thousands of the people’s descendants that enabled us to live, now suffer condition’s resembling that of third world poverty. The Pine Ridge and Crow Creek reservation’s of the Lakota Natives are documented as being the poorest places in North America. They also have the lowest life expectancy rate anywhere in the western hemisphere next to Haiti . It is also reported that 60% of all the houses need to be destroyed do to black mold infestation. About a year ago, I began making trip's to the reservation to connect with the heart of the people. In this great day of awakening, I believe that we are finally ready to courageously respond to the native plight in this country. What happened to the Natives many moon’s ago effected us all. It is time for us to heal the Karma's of our very own country! No guilt just love. No right, or wrong just simple act's of compassion. Many of us have been afraid to face this because of how deep this internal wound is. We know longer have to be afraid, for we are now invited to celebrate in the spirit of compassion!AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA! It is ironic that the natives taught us the best that the Sustainable Living World had to offer and now we can share with them in the same way! This is what we call ,'THE GREAT CIRCLE OF COMPASSION.” The Lakota Elder's call it Mending the Sacred Hoop. Last September, Natures Compassion brought Seven Lakota to Calearth Institute and they were trained and certified as Eco-dome builder’s. Never had natives been taken from the reservation and taught how to build there own homes! They had only been stuffed in box shaped trailers. These homes are Circular, made with the earth and will last 1,000 years. After the training we discovered that one of the family's we hosted, were living in a black-molded trailer without heat, running water, electricity and they were orphaned. In the summer of June 14th 2009,45 volunteers came from all over the country to assist the American Horse family in building a home We raised $25,000.00 for building supply’s and exspensis. June 14th,2010 we are returning to finish what we started as well as install a Sky Stream 3.7 kilo Wind Turbine donated by David Katz of Aee Solar. The Lakota Ancestor’s said that the solution to the plight of the people would come with the wind! Martha American Horse has become the first single mother in the history of Pine Ridge to be certified on maintaining a turbine and now her children will grow up with the awareness that they have never been poor, for the Pine Ridge reservation has the most abundant wind energy in the country! Being AMMAs devotee,of course all of this was internally guided by HER.At the same time, it was people from all walks of life that came and spent an entire summer on Pine Ridge.For me AMMA is LOVE and there is no way,after be the perfect example of selfless service ,that this service would not have HER complete blessing! Though i wish that we were receiving more support,AMMA has made sure that everything we have needed has always been provided.By next year, i hope to have a relief fund in place that will enable us to respond to anything we are faced with on Pine Ridge reservation. If others AMMA devotee's would stand with me on this,we could do this very easily.i know i cannot do this alone and i humbly seek my family of AMMAs devotee's to unite.It is always spontaneously that these things happen! It is only after things are approved in our hearts that they are approved in the external world. AMMA is behind any intention that is Innocent.SHE says that GOD is compelled to respond to a selfless prayer. i myself am currently homeless,yet AMMA still compels my heart to do what it can to help others.My home is forever in the heart of my AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA......................... _______________ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/196390707/direct/01/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Praying for everyone on the reservation to stay warm and not go hungry. Will continue to keep them in my prayers regularly.
