Letter of Invitation to Indigenous

From Grandmother Flordemayo’s Sacred Land
We send this message out to the world today!

Coming from Grandmothers and Peacemakers:

This is a very different and more powerful message that the world needs to hear in light of the global events taking place.

We already know how to make War! Let us learn to make Peace!

 

 

 

Dear Respected and Treasured Relatives:

This is a very special invitation and call to all Indigenous peoples around the world.  You are invited to help create and bring forth a worldwide ceremony, a series of global ceremonies starting on this December 29th, 2015 at 12 noon, in each of your respective time zones for these three sacred purposes:

 

1. To honor all of our human ancestors who have ever perished in war, genocide and holocausts, and our relatives who are still dying from these actions by ourselves upon one another;

2. To initiate and carry forward the great and deep healing needed by all people, all families, all nations,  the ancient and mostly denied wounds, the buried pain, the bitterness, and the rage caused by all our heinous acts;  and

3. To lead humanity, to help return (TURN) humanity to a state of remembrance, the remembering of who we truly are — sacred, divine, precious, embodied spiritual beings.  We Indigenous are called to lead the great turning.

Throughout the 12,000+ year cycle of this current human flourishing, the Indigenous have maintained ties and relations with the spirits: of the plants; animals; trees; insects; earth; planets; suns; the spirits of those departed who once lived embodied lives (our Ancestors); and with many spirits that have never taken physical form.  Humanity of all ages and locations have always had gifted teachers, healers, shamans, and spiritual guides.  The sacred great mystery has been our constant resource in this sacred task.

However, most of humanity, and many Indigenous too, have been, and continue to be, in a very lost state of being.  But we are all awakening!  Our hearts are re-opening, re-igniting with the flame of Love, Wisdom, Courage, Power, and Compassion.  The Indigenous ceremonies are coming back.  Our ties with Great Mystery are growing strong again.  The Indigenous are realizing a dawning strength in alliance with the sacred.  Each pilgrimage, each prayer, each meditation, each talking circle, each sweat lodge, each Labyrinth walk, each Sun Dance, each healing ministration in which we invite the sacred to join with us, inspire and journey with us, is making us stronger each and every day.  Indeed, ceremony is important on a daily basis and in every venue of our lives.

Our Indigenous sacred wisdom, ceremonies, plant knowledge, star knowledge, and communications are needed by the rest of our brothers and sisters on our planet.  We all need to heal!  We need to reach out to our lost oppressors, because they are too lost right now to reach out to us!

We have grown strong enough now to do this!  Enough of us have healed. Enough of us have protected our sacred ones. Enough of us have been brought together, so we can serve our future generations in this sacred trust.

An essential piece of historical background:  Many Lakota, Minneconjou, Dakota, representatives of other tribes and their supporters have been making a great ceremony each Dec. 15-29th for the last 29 years called The Chief Big Foot Band Memorial Ride and Ceremony.  In 1990, at the 100 year memorial of the Massacre at Wounded Knee, Chief Arvol Looking Horse held a great Wiping of the Tears Ceremony to bring our people out of mourning and into healing.  He asked that there be no more Wounded Knees throughout the world.  He called for the end of all massacres.  We would like to honor Birgil Kills Straight who had the dream for this ceremony 25 years ago.  Similarly, many other Indigenous across the world have been hosting more and more ceremonies as our healing has already begun.  Chief Looking Horse helped create World Peace and Prayer Day.  It is time to make every day and World Peace and Prayer Day.

We begin the leadership for our great turning starting this December 29th, 2015 at 12 noon in each time zone around the world by holding our first Global Wide Ceremony:  Healing Hearts at Wounded Knee.  Our prayers, our songs, our devotion, our commitment, our love, will encircle our entire planet; be carried by every wind and breeze, be heard by the birds, the plants, the animals, the mountains and rocks, the streams, lakes, and oceans, our Ancestors, the earth, and most precious of all, Great Mystery, Wakan! ! We offer a great Heart Song flowing forth into space: Our singing Blue/Green Planet serenading the Milky Way!

Dearest, Most Precious, Most Beautiful Native Indigenous Peoples of Each Land…

Ring out this news to all your kindred, your family, your friends, your neighbors and come to listen with clear hearts, nostrils, ear sockets, skin, eyes wide open and searing discerning mind; ready yourselves.

Listen, Hear…

We, the Indigenous of Earth are being invited and called to inspire and lead this great turning, which we know is already here.  We are already at the forefront, the leading edge in this turning tide of human relations!  Embedded within our very souls lies the rising tsunami of spirit that has already birthed us to do this, this very planetary miracle.

We are bringing forth, honoring, nurturing, and launching the greatest Tidal Force of Love the world has not yet known.  The Love in our Hearts is the Love in our Minds, in our Stomachs, Love in our bowels, legs, arms, hands, feet and hair.  Love is in each cell, each atomic bit of our very being.

Beauty is in the Love.  Beauty is in each cell, molecule and atom of our being too.  We are Love and we are Beauty.

Radiance. The great shining, brilliant radiance of Love, shines out, heralds forth Power, power in each fiber and breath of our being

We are Love, Beauty, and radiant Power!

We are Joy! We are the Joy in radiant, powerful, beautiful Love!  That is who we are!   This is who we are!  Love, Joy, Beauty, Truth, Power, Wisdom, Eternal, Infinite, Compassionate, Tender and Forgiving, this is who we are!

In our great songs, ceremonies, dance, music, art, poetry, marriages, families and friendships, we express and enjoy all these elements of our being.

We worship. We pray. And, We listen…..

For a long time, many millennia, mostly we have forgotten who we are.  Some to lesser amount, some to greater amount, we have forgotten.   Fear, greed, hoarding, envy, hatred and deceit have grown into murder, lying, war, massacre, mutilation, slavery, and more.  This has been a great journey into the darkness of Lost.  We have abused power and been abused by power in every form and in every way.  There is too much to say.

Now is the time for the great turning.  

We are being healed by Great Spirit, Great Mystery, its Power and Love.

We are being called by Great Spirit to lead a great healing.

On this December 29th, 2015 at 12 noon around the Earth:

We initiate the tide of healing and ending war, massacre, racism, genocide, holocaust, rape, mutilation, slavery, and deceit; we pledge to end these acts,

We pledge to embrace Love and Peace. This Ceremony will mark a great moment in time.  As our unique Indigenous relationship with the Earth and with all her citizenry is honored and shared with all of humankind, thus blooms our leadership as we share these sacred gifts.

We do hold a unique responsibility in our wisdom and heritage.  As these and other ceremonies and various modes of healing rapidly grow, we will be witnessing and birthing more than we can yet imagine.  This worldwide ceremony will inspire many different expressions and actions for healing.

We will be holding the Healing Hearts at Wounded Knee Ceremony over the next 4 years.  This is to ignite many other ceremonies and healing practices in all modes and forms to heal the multi-generational, multi-lineal wounds deep inside of all of humanity.

We are returning all of our lost souls back into remembrance of who we are!  And it will take a bit of time. But not much time.  With Love we face our abomination and the wisdom, the understanding, the compassion, the forgiveness explodes! Epiphany!

We who suffer, who know privation, who endure rape, torture and dismemberment, who have died in gnawing shame;

We who have lost our homes, our families, our lives, it is time to come home.

It is time to empty our prisons, forgive and heal our transgressions.

We are all the same.

We are ONE.

It is time to feed the hungry, house the homeless, clothe the naked, embrace our too rich and unhoard our stores, and our homes.

Our pain is coming home!  This very maelstrom is hiding whilst flowering and feeding the seeds of the greatest love we have never known.

Yes! And yes!

We are awakening.

We are being pulled out of our slumber however deep.

We do this for Ourselves, for our Dearest, Most Precious, Most Wonderful — our Children, all Children, grandchildren, great grandchildren; for our Ancestors, back beyond time; for the flowers, honey bees, gnats and weevils, weasels, mountains, streams, clouds, birds, shores….  Our precious Earth.

We do this For All!
