Rainbow Family and Lakota

When the Rainbow Tribe agreed to ally with the Lakota who asked the alliance be an agreement (commitment) to stand with them when they decide to occupy the Black Hills, it was innocence which knows nothing of fear agreeing to ally with/take on the fear of the Lakota who fear violent reprisal for such an action (for valid reasons). They allied themselves to an expectation, an alternate reality to one absent of fear. So now the Lakota know they are not alone in their fear. If this is going to work, the Lakota need to begin now BEING Peace/embodying peace and picturing a peaceful acknowledgement to their right of presence in those hills by first embodying peaceful acknowledgement of their right to be where they are at every moment. Appreciation that the right is already acknowledged by the fact that they have somewhere, no matter how unpleasant, to exist already would not be amiss. They must envision an acceptance. They must make choices that reflect peaceful acceptance......in each and every moment of their daily lives from here to there. By doing this, the day they occupy those hills will be a crowning glory of proof that their reality has changed.
The corresponding fear embodied presently among the Tribes of the Rainbow is the insecurity about their own rights to ritual. We are of many races, often times in each individual and we are insecure about our place amongst the tribes of our various ancestors..."mutts" of the world's races and religions. What we need to know is that rituals for our new age are already within us. Rites of passage are empowering to the next aspect of ourselves we are beginning to embody. All it takes is a threshold of any kind: a branch across a path, a stream or river, a doorway, an archway of any sort. A candle on each side, the second lit to represent a new name or title. A girl child at 7 becomes a maiden, her mother within is beginning to train the maiden to embody her, the mother is then trained by the crone beginning at puberty and then the crone is trained by her immortality. The boy at 7 years old becomes a squire to the hero he will embody and so on into his immortality. The fact that we are made of this earth-the minerals in the water we drink are of the ground we live upon (usually) and thus the land we reside on becomes our physical body. We have every right to consider ourselves of the earth/tribal and ritual is easy to bring forth through our imaginations. So we must accept, embody the right to our own rituals and begin to practice them fully convinced that they ARE valid. We do not need to "steal" ancient rituals designed for a blood thirsty age...our rituals rightly respect the sanctity and right to safety of our bodies, souls and minds, of the peaceful nature we naturally embody.
Then and only then will fearlessness and peace be the basis of the alliance and bring forth what is desired.


Only fear and insecurity looks for an ally. Peace, love, hope and joy simply open to association and acquaintance. Inappropriate boundaries seek out conditions. Healthy boundaries already exist within them.
