Response to a question posed in Music Class...
Maybe they thought it was primitive because they use the intellect
over feeling or inner-knowledge which cannot be learned but can be known and
this leads one when they don't understand something to just categorize and
stamp a label on it and call it "primitive" but if life is a timeless
experience (which it actually is) "primitive" is a lie. Yes
music has become "fuller" but the energy is still the same.
What song and music comes out of ... does not change. So it is
always the same energy pushing forth what comes through, it may seem more
advanced because it is more complex in technique, but it is still the same
simple energy it has always been. However, Thomas Edison was able to see
and capture what others were attempt to change. If it were primitive we
wouldn't still desire to hear it ... it would be extinct like the dinosaurs.
However, since there is still a message to hear in it...it is still here.
What we don't understand we attempt to change or destroy.
I worked on a reservation in Arizona for 3 years for a
telecommunications company that was separated into two companies, one that was
run by the Tribe (Salt River Pima) and they owned the switch for the phone and
internet to run off of and offered it to those that lived on the reservation
and the other company was run by a group of men and women that built out the
switch maintained it and sold it off the reservation (on U.S. soil ... which
was always funny that I would leave the country ever day but still be in the
Country :o).
Sometimes it was challenging to get the two companies that were in
the same building to function, the Reservation had their way of doing things
and the other company had theirs. The people from the Reservation tended
to work much more slowly and took longer to learn things, but they did
eventually, but it could be frustrating for the employees of the other company
that were looking to progress and sell so they would have to slow down and pace
themselves. What I watched and learned while I was there (and I got
frustrated sometimes too and I have Native blood but was not raised in it), I
got to see that the people on the Reservation weren't trying to "get"
anywhere. There was no ultimate goal except to do what they were doing.
I really really appreciated this coming from a society where you were
always trying to get to the next best thing.
I also saw how the people on the reservation did start to learn and
do things more rapidly and efficiently and had higher self-esteem from their
workings with our company. Everything
Serves. So there was a lot that went on in that company that
wasn't so quickly seen, but in a way it was a small microcosm of Pilgrims
coming to Native Land and the merging of the two.
I wrote the following journal entry yesterday and it seems related to
what is being spoken about. And although
it may seem a bit far fetched (maybe not) at some other time it may not.
It is not edited so please excuse the typos and formatting and run on
chatter :o)

So I am having flashbacks (which haven’t happened in a long time) while
reading “An Introduction to America’s Music” for MUSIC class and it is speaking
about “Fools Crow” who is a main character of Indian decent that is summoned by
a realm to take a religious journey which flashes me to 1997, when I had the
dream that said “YOU ARE GOING TO SCOTTSDALE ARIZONA” and I didn’t even know
where that was and within 6 months was living in Arizona and within a year
working in Scottsdale. I have not ever thought of it as a religious
(don’t like that word) journey. I just thought I was a weirdo that had a
dream that there was not option in listening to because I was told to. It wasn’t an option … it was like an Earth
Shattering event.
So the book goes on
to speak about this Indian who had visions of the future to come…which again
flashed me to 1998, when I had the visions of the Earth Changes, and how
everyone I love would die because New York would be underwater. And how I wrote to Mom and was telling her to
let people know and the only one that really took me with any seriousness about
it was Pete, who moved to Colorado or at least I thought he heard me and Mom also.
That is when I found Gordon Michael Scallion
(ha! I haven’t looked him up in 1000 years but his website is now called the
Matrix Institute of all things my favorite movie :o)
I have not ever felt
the need since then to spread the news, but I did have a very strong pull to
leave AZ after a while as there was always an image that it would be ocean
front property but that there wouldn’t be much water to drink for a long time
and there would be flooding.
Fool’s Crow goes on
to teach people to make peace within themselves…sounds familiar on this
experience I am having…since the only thing I am drawn to is Pointing to That.
Fool’s Crow goes on
to say many things about being virtuous and next life stuff that I don’t have
much interest in (ha that sounds badly too) but what does interest me is that
he mentions that generations to come will know the way it was (which comes also
to me in flash and in this music class and in all the Native people I keep
coming across including Wayneji).
He speaks of the Below Ones, The Underwater People and the Above Ones and I
have had flashes of all of them also and can almost recall living underwater
and also eliminating the fear of Aliens in understand … the only ones I have
not been in tune with is the Below Ones…I have read about the Lemurians at Mt.
Shasta but have not felt a connection with it and have not ever wanted to go
underground…don’t care for caves even though I love cave time. Don’t mind
the fear of drowning (though I don’t like it) but I really don’t like being
buried alive and the pressure on the body and the lungs and the intensity of
feeling cemented in which has come up a few times on Psychedelics.
Water I can handle and it is quick usually but earth is not as kind.
They say Indians were
headed for extinction, but from what I can tell in myself you cannot extinct
the DNA cause it flows in this blood and it is like having memory bank storage
that reveals itself in perfect timing and all the culture is still there, it
just isn’t tapped into until the moment arrives that it is … nothing can be
lost. All is recorded.
When the History of
All Time opened up on the back porch of MU in one instant … less than a
millisecond (whatever that is) everything was seen and Known about life on
Earth…it was so fast and instantaneous that the mind could do nothing…it was
helpless to the information and it took a great deal of time (not really but in
Earth years it was) to process.
It is not that I can
remember everything that has happened but I know the information is there and
available for accessing. Like I know I could fly a plane if I had to
because the information is there. Do I know how to tap into it…no.
But I don’t need to know… if I am supposed to know…then I will and that is the
gift that was given in the History of All Time moment. Doesn’t mean it
will make me better at Math because if I am supposed to suck at it that is how
it goes… but I do know that I already Know every bit of Math that could ever be
thought up, because there is no such thing as time and so all of everything has
already happened and simultaneously nothing ever has.
I am beginning to
wonder if my Indian both American and India run much deeper than I can
intellectually understand and why I have so many challenges with white men and
an underlying anger. Reminded again of last year when Wayneji
said to look into this. I had thought it was because of my father, but I
am seeing now that it was not…it was a deeper line in history of White men
doing things that at the time seemed cold and destructive. I also am aware of the White in me…that on my
mother’s side there is a long White line and they were not bad people, but had
been immersed in many things that they may have had to turn their head away
from or had done themselves for their own survival. This would be the
attraction of my mother to my Father who he seems to have much more of a
lineage of Black, Indian both kinds and German keeps coming up (which would
account for his background in Science and becoming a Scientist … which I only
assume he was from stories he told of working at Bell Labs and seeing the video
telephone back in the 70s that we couldn’t even imagine having in our homes and
yet I spent the last 10 years video conferencing for QT with my Family all over
the world.)
Also no wonder I am
drawn to transcription, which is also in the Native and White, blood … Thomas
Edison Invented it and used it in recording the Natives both with audio and
video. I imagine Thomas Edison was a user of psychedelics probably
mushrooms and peyote. Don’t take these substances lightly … they are not
a party drug though they can be introduced that way…best to revere them as
scared so that they can reveal to you the Gift that they are. A white man
like Thomas Edison would be necessary for the information to come through
because his brain would have been prepared to formulate and use the information
through his education…not just his but the education of his DNA. That information could not be used on a
Native American because they didn’t readily have that part of the brain
activated to receive it. It’s not a level of higher or lower…just
information and the ability to access it.
Like you can some “apps” on an Android phone but not on an Iphone and
visa versa. This is what I got to see early on in the business world.
People didn’t get more money because of anything other than that they had
information and Dave
Chappelle said as you move along in the world you see that life is made up
of only two things “Soup” and “Information” and that the more you move up the
better the soup and information gets. Yummers Dave Chappelle, Yummers!
So I would say they saw it as primitive because they did not
understand it and maybe it has seemingly taken a long time for it to finally
come around to be appreciated and seen for what it is ... a true Gift.
