Freedom’s Native American Origins 😲
Hate Speech, pt 2 — Preserving Our Rights vs OR via Laws
WHAT DO WE WANT?
What do we want? On what can we come to agreement? Can we begin by defining freedom as, “Do as you will as long as you harm none”? We want to preserve what is vitally important as structures are cracking & tumbling. Let us see to our foundations, not just shore them up.
What are our intentions around freedom, first with regard to ourselves, then to our families, our neighbors, our nation? How will our use of consciousness affect the world? What do we want to create, to preserve & enjoy?
Remember, consciousness creates everything.
CRIMINALS DON’T RESPECT LAWS
Our lands & peoples don’t prosper based on government or laws, but on our own moral rectitude, our ethics, our integrity & honor as we walk our talk. Absent those, we’re toast. There’s no point in trying to legislate morality; it can’t be done, it doesn’t work.
Let’s face it — criminals don’t respect laws. That’s what makes them criminals, after all. 😂 The joke is on us when we add yet more legislation. It burdens only the law-abiding folks, leaving the criminals free to do as they always will: break laws. Who are we trying to kid, thinking criminals will respect laws? Are we nuts?
Let’s at least accept the reality that we can’t legislate morality.
Truly free people require very minimal laws. Recognizing & accepting this would help with many things. We’d realize that passing laws doesn’t stop crime. We’d realize that passing laws actually creates more crimes, more ways to go wrong. We haven’t come to terms with who & what we are & what makes us tick or we’d know this by now.
In many ways, we’re being played.
TIME TO BRING PHILOSOPHY BACK!
We shoved philosophy to the side as irrelevant long ago, but perhaps now we begin to see our mistake. How do we stop crime, prevent harm? Laws don’t do it. Good intentions aren’t enough. Nothing really works. Absent a deeper understanding of our own nature, we’re going nowhere fast.
What motivates criminals? Whether direct or indirect, it’s often money or sex. What is indirect motivation? When you’re under someone else’s control, the controller often being money- or sex-motivated.
Do you see the benefit of going deeper, addressing the causes? Let’s not just legislate to manage the effects, the problems, churning out ever more ineffective, often burdensome regulation.
When we go even deeper, we spot the sneaky cabal at work. Just who do these laws benefit? Who are they really intended to control? I suggest it’s not the criminals, who are often allied with the cabal, or cabal actors, themselves. Could these laws all be designed, not for us, but to control us?
How do laws benefit the cabal?
MONEY & SEX AS CONTROL MECHANISMS
Money has become as a god we allow to control our lives.
If we better understood ourselves, we’d we’d see that the whole idea behind money is deeply flawed. Money, like power, corrupts. As absolute power corrupts absolutely, so does absolute wealth.
There’s simply never enough. It’s a system whose foundation is irreparably flawed, one that merits serious reconsideration. Surely, there are better ways.
We respect money too much. What deserves respect? For that matter, what is respect? Absent true self-respect, we don’t have it to give. It’s time to realize that, whatever we want, we must first & always apply to the self, else it’s an effort in futility. You want love?
Love yourself first & love yourself well, or you are empty of love; you don’t have it to give, thus seeking it outside of yourself.
USA — OUR NATIVE-AMERICAN HERITAGE
Had we taken more of the Native American understanding of both harmony & governance than just what’s in our Constitution & Declaration of Independence— heavily influenced by their system — we’d have fared far better. Theirs was a culture of equality, of both responsibility & respect that deeply honored one another, families, tribes, & all of Nature.
Americans live under the misperception that ours was the first government to enshrine freedom. It was not.
Theirs was a centuries-old constitution written in their hearts, not on paper. Thus, their understanding delved far deeper than any of our laws can hope to go. They’re the epitome of walking their talk, being true to themselves & one another to the best of their ability. It’s about sacred honor.
Tribal Sovereignty: History and the Law
“Tribal governments are the oldest governments in existence in the Western Hemisphere. Despite common misperceptions, the United States was not the first government to institute democratic rule and introduce concepts of fair representation, equality, and justice for all. At a time when European governments were authoritarian and hierarchical, traditional tribal governments were based upon principles of democracy, equality, freedom, and respect.
“In fact, not everyone is aware of just how much American government and political life as we know it today has been drawn from Indian culture.
“From the very beginning, the founding fathers saw tribal government as something to be admired and emulated. Did you know that the U.S. Constitution is modeled after the oldest constitution in North America — the constitution of the Seven Iroquois Nations? The Indians called this constitution “The Great Law of Peace” and it governed an alliance of Indian tribes that was four hundred years old when the first settlers arrived. …” [Emphasis added]
California’s Native American Caucus [A fascinating short read offering great insight. It helps us see more deeply into both our nation’s founding & how their Constitution is still evident in the workings of our government.
The Native Americans were less subject to ego, grounded more in honor & equality, thus better able to work cooperatively. When they gave their word, it could be trusted. Honor was very real to them. Unfortunately, their whole perception of life being radically different than ours limited its ability to cross the perspective gap.
We couldn’t see deeply into them, nor fully hear & understand what they tried to convey, the help they offered. They came from such a different space, a culture unlike any the European colonists had yet encountered.
WESTERN CONCEIT
Current humanity seems quite conceited, thinking it’s all that & then some. We’ll be better equipped to tackle such depths when we come down from our high horse & find some humility, a sense of equality missing in some.
The Left, especially, has a serious case of Major Arrogance. The arrogant are not open to learn, thinking they’re already at the pinnacle of whatever it is; thus do they block their own progress — & ours.
While it may seem daunting that we don’t often get a strong majority on anything, do remember that with less than 5% of the male colonists fighting, we won the Revolutionary War that birthed this nation. Each one of us is more important, more powerful than most realize.
We couldn’t have done it without France, nor kept it without Russia & some others, but when we take the “moral” high road, doing our best to live up to high ideals, circumstances support us quite naturally. We’re actually creating that via consciousness.
Let us remember that we are the ONLY one over whom we have rightful power & control.
We’re not in charge of our brethren, so we must rule jointly, with consideration for all. The one we set out to rule is the self, period. As we master that, both understanding & Wisdom are born.
Humanity has long played with the dark side, the “devil,” the black & white arts. We’ll have to look within to see how best to handle such things, going forward. When we say, “do harm to none,” that covers spells.
Any spell, white or black, that seeks to control something external to the self is a deep rabbit hole, indeed.
“The best laid plans of mice & men often go astray.” Our good intentions are not enough. We don’t have to have every answer, so it’s well to record those unanswerable questions with hope for future revelations, future resolution to our overall benefit.
To acknowledge our limitations is also wise, helping keep (blinding) arrogance at bay.
Let us consider this: as we seek to be the kind of person we’d best like to be with, we will eventually bring about our greatest dreams. Then, we’ll dream even greater dreams & seek to live up to them. It’s unending like that, if & as that is our overall choice.
FREEDOM MANDATES LOVE & RESPECT
As we get lost in the minutiae of law & regulation, we do ourselves no favors. Remember, criminals have zero regard for any laws. When you can’t legislate morality, what to do? We grow up a good bit as we uncover that beauty, that decency, that awesome reality of Source in a body, walking this beautiful earth.
Let us respect the self, first, then one another, & finally our nation, our culture, & ultimately our beloved, priceless, precious planet, Mother Earth. Let us turn to the aboriginals around the planet who retain an ancient heritage of respect for Nature & all of Life.
Once again, we ARE the answers we seek, just not in the ways we once believed.
Our secret weapon against chaos is ourselves. We are & we contain every answer anyone seeks. We know what we want, yes? If we’re not clear on it, mentally, that’s fine, as we can sense it, deep within. Our Heart knows.
The chaos of contrast is lovingly delivered as first aid to give us crystal clarity about what we truly want, which helps us make better choices.
Clearly, turning inward is a large part of any viable solution.
Once we know/sense what we want, we align ourselves with it, such that we become that which we desire to greet in others. We walk our talk, which spreads the message wherever we go, even when we don’t say a word. We create the New World from the inside, out, friends; that is, if we really want this to work.
See you in part 3, where we’ll explore how we’re being tricked via legislation that cannot accomplish its stated aims.
Namaste
