Editorial Hipocrisy COMES IN ALL COLORS In Walking the Good Red Path we must learn to look closely at what is before us, and not to listen to the gossip. We learn to understand that even though some one wears feathers they may still be a turkey. We live in a 4-D reality, Based upon_ Discernment, Discretion, and Detachment must accompany our Desire, Let us state that Wolf Lodge is a Metis Site ... So you would be separatists and insurgents best just keep on going... Or summon the courage to come out in the light and stand boldly before us. Everyone has the right to worship the creator in their own way. It is a wrong way to teach Lakota ways to a Cherokee, or Apache ways to an Inuit... this is bad medicine in fact it is Dumb medicine and brings about untold problems for future generations. If you can not bring something new to the circle of life, then leave it alone, do not corrupt what is the heritage of this land or its peoples. When you try to regulate who and how people worship the Creator then you are no different then the Black Robes who used force and torture to bend life to their rules. The Black Robes have vanished from the land.. Life teaches us that the turtle consumes all untruths and all who would enslave their brothers and sisters. We are all one family, born of the same Mother Father God, playing upon a Field of Dreams. Like the Black Robes who tried to oppress the people of the Turtle Island 500 years ago, you who try to manipulate and impose your false rules, will also pass from this dream... No one tells another how to talk to Creator. That is between that person and their Creator. You should have learned this by now... but it seems some are slow to grow in wisdom and righteousness... Already the Winds of Change are upon us, those who embrace false hood will be taken quickly. It is a wrong doing to purport to do anyone's ceremony when you have not been given that right, and have not earned the position, by the passing of the bundle, to do so by sacred rite through initiation that is the unspoken law. This War of Valued Life we are ALL in now, is about exposing hypocrisy, and false doctrines... It is about learning to walk as one People upon this Earth walking softly upon our Sacred Mother. Calling out our gratefulness to Father Sky who touches all that lives, and thinks, and remembers in the heavens We are now witness to many Prophecies unfolding. "All social structures will crumble. " ALL" All religious structures will crumble "ALL" is how the prophesy went... The whole of mankind is going to have to endure a change heart or that humanity will perish ! The Whole not just a part of the whole... that is the nature of the Initiation. " You who would tell my children that they cannot pray in the old way... Whoa Unto You ... know that by your own words you are diminished.." At the Star Lodge we do things Metis way, we do not do Lakota Way, or the yellow way, or the green way, we do our own way. We are open to all people. We respect all people even when you do not understand or agree with us. When we can not understand your way, we will still fight for your right to express it. Creator made us all , even the crazy ones. The Nazarene walked the Americas longer than he walked the lands of the Euphrates and Tigres. The history of this is written upon the living stone. The people of the dragon boats brought many of the wisdoms "Indians" now lay claim to. That history as well is written in stone from Canada to Peru. There are a lot of you "Indians " out there hurting innocent people, people who come with good hearts. Some of them carry your children, and some of them are your own children... You will reap what you have sewn. Learn Compassion or perish ...the times have already changed... In this Lodge we speak to people who come to hear, who come to share... We do not force our ways on anyone. They come from all over the world to share their views and spiritual insights with us... For we are all children of the same Mother_ Father God... We do not appreciate amateur ego's out there playing at medicine any more than anyone else who has paid the price and put the years of learning and earned the respect and trust of the elders who gave them their bundles to carry. There is only one enemy that presents a clear and present danger to the people, and that enemy is called ignorance.. There are many of you out there who are chiefs and elders representing the Spirituality of your people, you have sat in the Stone Peoples House while I, Ghost Wolf poured the water for you. We have shared the Sacred with those who represented many beliefs and methodologies. Yes, you know who you are, you shared your pipes with me, we shared our tears and prayed together for the unity of all people that acknowledgment of these sacred ways, would not vanish from the face of the Earth. You came to our lodges seeking healings, and were not so proud as to refrain from asking for money, food, cars, and shelter ... You were not refused, and often left without even so much as a thank you... All who were present at your " Indian" ceremonies saw clearly that it was you and members of your own tribes that took money for attending Sundance and accepted money for the giving of names. It was clear that there was no thought of race, when you laid with our women, yellow, white, red, or black. Yet after the child was born... many of you suddenly had to "get back to the spirit road..." When you did so your children were left to the fortunes of the wind... We know well for we have fed these orphans. So go on live in your ignorance if you choose, No one will pay your price but you yourself in the end. We must all take measures now and join in the oneness of the ways we all hold sacred... there has been enough separation... Grandfather Pete Catches ( Lakota) taught us a generation ago now... There is no time left, The Great Dying has already begun. The Grandfathers and Grandmothers also taught us that If you have things to say about people you should say it to their faces, not behind their backs. If you have something to say to me, come then and meet me on the mountain, here in the light... Where I can see your face.. That was my Grandfathers way and it is mine... We are born to conditions, those conditions are circumstantial; our worth as we walk this Red Path, will be measured by our deeds, which we make through choice. So to all you Walking Weasels out there, Hello, isn't it time for you to go back to your holes... There is no place for hypocrisy, or cowardice here in the light of day. My children , and my children's children shall not live in fear. Wakon Tonka only speks to those hearts that have no fear. which is why Wakon Tonka always speaks with young Children.
