"If you can't see the other side, guard your sight jealously, you’re already
blind in one eye
My Name is Jim RabidWolf Hickinbotham, I am an indigenous man of North
America (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma). What I speak, I speak for myself and no
one else. I represent no one, no one tells me what to say. I think for
myself. I ask only that you read what I have written, give it a fair hearing,
then act upon it as seems right in your heart.
You may do what you will this - disseminate it as you will, print and copy
it; delete it if that suits you. I ask only that if it is passed on, it be
done so with out addition or deletion. This is my vision, it was gifted to
me, and I give it you as freely.
Recent events have brought the world to the brink of war and destruction,
such has never been known in the histories of the world, written or oral.
People have begun to polarize, calling for war or peace, justice or mercy,
revenge or forgiveness. Each knows himself or herself to be right, not
understand why others cannot see it their way.
What has happened to me began three nights ago with a dream of my third
great-grandfather. He had but one thing to tell me, "If you cannot see the
other side, guard your sight jealously, for you are already blind in one
eye." Two nights later, I had the vision that I share with you now.
We are, ALL OF US, wrong. If you have been crying for peace, you are wrong.
If you have been crying for war, you are wrong. If your stand has been for
justice, you are wrong. If you stood for revenge, you are wrong. All of us
are wrong. There are no clean hands in all of this. We are about to all pay
for our arrogance.
There are no choices, no options. If America retaliates, there will be war,
perhaps in the entire world. If she does not, then she will be provoked until
she does. If Bin Laden is taken, arrested, 25 or more atrocities will be
committed to regain his freedom, if he is killed, at least one - and we will
go to war in either case.
Do not wonder why America had such machinations in the last presidential
election; it is because George Bush has been placed there for this very
purpose. I am not saying that he is "God’s man," I am saying that he is there
because he would behave exactly as he is doing. I don't not believe any of
the other candidates would act as he does or will.
Osama Bin Laden is where he is for exactly the same reason, no more no less.
Read nothing more into those statements than what is there. We cannot go to
war. The cost is too high. Neither can we turn our backs. We cannot arrest
whom we assume to be guilty - there is no justice on our courts throughout
the world. We have allowed them to become a mockery of any just law or ethic.
We have twisted them into a tool of our own misshapen senses.
Islam, Christianity, Judaism are all three peoples of the same God. All three
teach compassion, justice, and tolerance. Yet all three have brought us wars
and injustice, not through their teachings but by those who call themselves
followers and have twisted them to their own devices. We are left with no
choices, no options. This is by Creator’s own hand. He has made it so. The
only alternative is not to participate.
We must each take a step, whether left or right, forward or back, one step to
the center and STOP.
We do not have the luxury of continuing as we have. If you have been slinging
dirt, trying to show others why this has happened, STOP. (Those who throw
dirt lose ground. - CR)
If you have been calling for peace, even marching in the streets, STOP.
If you have been standing for justice, STOP.
If you have been seeking revenge, STOP.
Regardless or what we do, it will bring only war. If you defame and
demonstrate, you tell this man he has already won - there is a breach in our
resolve. If you call for war, you give him what he desires and again he has
won. If you call for "justice" in the courts of the world, he knows himself
that they are twisted beyond ethical recourse, and he has won.
To follow the way of love is always a good thing, but that presupposes that
the other party is capable of understanding or even caring. Remember, "Never
fight a battle you cannot win. Second, ALWAYS choose your battles." The only
hope we have is to not participate. Either we all learn this lesson,
together, at the same time, or we perish.
We must allow Creator to do what he is doing. Take your hands away from this
thing. In that he has given us no choice, Creator has taken away our
responsibility. In that way, he has given us the opportunity to avoid falling
into the traps set by all parties concerned. Let all things be what they are
and what they wish to be.

The Dance of Eternal Bliss

"The way of the shaman says we are spirits learning how to live in a body
given by Mother Earth. That's why we are here - to learn to live in a body -
and to bring the whole of body, mind, emotions, spirit and ourselves into
harmony and balance. We are not in a body to get out of it and escape by
becoming "spiritual" or " religious," we are here to learn how to be in
matter and how to bring matter and spirit together. Dancing is the greatest
way to do that and has been part of human culture for 40-50,000 years,
perhaps much longer."
