Indigenous People...

[angel wings]

In this world of craziness that we currently reside, for me there is a personal drive for me to research and understand indigenous beliefs and cultures. Has anyone done much research into these cultures?

I'm currently looking into West African tribes and have come up with some interesting information. What's most apparent is the link with this information and the so called "new age" info.

For me I feel that its indigenous knowledge that will liberate the masses now so we can reconnect with our true selves and purpose.

I've noticed recently that indigenous is no longer used to describe indigenous peoples. Indigenous implies that the land was originally theirs which I believe to be correct but now indigenous peoples are referred to as 'first nations' which implies that they were simple the first to be on the land and that the land never belonged to them. I take this to mean that wiping out the North American Indians and the Australian Aborigines and taking away their lands is now justified.

I will use this thread to share various indigenous wisdoms...

DREAMTIME REVEALED
The Elder sat directly across from me, his legs tucked under him serving as a cushion; he leaned forward to look at me eye-to-eye. Some outside the circle handed him a stone goblet filled with liquid. He took a sip. The penetrating stare into the depth of my heart did not waiver as he passed the cup to his right. He spoke:

. ."We, the tribe of Divine Oneness Real People, are leaving the Planet. In our remaining time we have elected to live the highest level of spiritual life; celibacy, a way to demonstrate physical discipline. We are having no more children. When our youngest member is gone, that will be the last of the pure human race.
. ."We are eternal beings. There are many places in the universe where souls who are to follow us can take on body forms. We are the direct descendants of the first beings. We have passed the test of surviving since the beginning of time, holding steadfast to the original values and laws. It is our group consciousness that has held the earth together. Now we have received permission to leave. The people of the world have changed and given a part of the soul of the land away. We go to join it in the sky.
. ."You have been chosen as our Mutant messenger to tell your kind we are going. We are leaving Mother earth to you. We pray you will see what your way of life is doing to the water, the animals, the air, and to each other. We pray you will find a solution to your problems without destroying this world. There are Mutants on the edge of regaining their individual spirit of true beingness. With enough focus, there is time to reverse the destruction on the planet, but we can no longer help you. Our time is up. Already the rain pattern has been changed, the heat is increased, and we have seen years of plant and animal reproduction lessened. We can no longer provide human forms for spirits to inhabit because there will soon be no water or food left here in the desert."
("Mutant Message Down Under," Marlo Morgan)

The Native Americans: Earned Extinction, by don Juan:
"Your benefactor, my friend Quetzalcoatl, has mentioned that the Native American, who call themselves the Guardians of the Earth, have been a successful experiment. As such they are allowed the luxury of extinction, but as with anything with Spirit, there is no easy death. The end to anything with Spirit will not be a pretty sight. All things with Spirit hang on tenaciously to the least hope and glimmer of light. As such they will stay beyond their time. The light emanations within the cocoons of individuals that produce such a situation are most interesting to behold.

"There are always alternatives to destruction. Even the Native Americans have realized this and this is why they still exist. They have learned to adapt. Adaptation is an evolutionary process that takes one species and transforms it into another. The changing environment will not support the status quo. Everything is in flux. To survive it is necessary to change in the circumstances of change or cause change in the environment in response to new realizations.
("Scales of the Dragon," Avendar Dragon)

Here's an Integral passage regarding the Indigenous Peoples:

(Verbatim: all italics are the author's)
DAUGHTERS & SONS OF THE SUN
"The first truly human being, because he could think and plan, was the black or negro race. This race came into existence in what is now generally conceded to have been Lemuria, probably then a part of warmest Africa nearest the Sargasso Sea. The pigmentation of the skin of the negro race shows him to have been sun or Heaven-born; that is, without the cohabitation of the sexes--spontaneously, by the sun.
. ."The second race in this classification is that of the colored, copper or red race. In this race must be included all colors of a copper, yellow or indian texture. Here also we have the impigmentation of the skin, but much less pronounced. This race came countless centuries later; mentally and physically developing during these centuries. These also were sun or Heaven-born; therefore, like the negro, worshippers of the sun. During the centuries between the beginning of the negro and the second distinct or colored race the sun had so far cooled that the pigmentation of the skin had been greatly reduced. Both races, being sun-born, instinctively recognized the sun as their father. They were, therefore, not idolators because of their worship, as we moderns so foolishly accuse, but true to their birthright. This race probably had its beginning in the Easter Islands then connected with both Mexico and Egypt.
. ."The third race is the Aryan, or pure white, race. The temperature and the sun had so far cooled that spontaneous creation was no longer possible; as a result, no longer any trace of pigmentation of the skin. This was the Adamic race. Jehovah was their God or Creator, and the sun was no longer recognized. These first parents had, through the ages, gradually seperated and developed the sex characteristic--the organs of conjugation. Their home was 'Eden'; that is, the Garden of eden--the earth. The six days during which the Creator--the evolutionary forces--took a rib from one sex--Adam (the seperation)--and created another sex--Eve--is that period during which the one sex was divided into two so that creation by union of sex, instead of spontaneously, could continue.
. ."Out of these three classes have sprung all other peoples which today inhabit the earth. Two of them were truly the children of God--the sun, while the last was not so favored, and must win their own salvation.
. ."What of the 'Soul' of man? After ages when man had developed the upright form and a brain capable of thinking and reasoning, the 'gods' saw that the daughters of men were fair and took them as 'wives,' which is to say, when the human habitation became fit places or temples, wherein a Soul might dwell, these Souls (gods) descended from Heaven, and man 'became a living Soul.'"
(From Prologue by R.Swinburne Clymer; "Our Story of Atlantis," W.P.Phelon, 1937)

What does it really mean to be sun born?

How did the earlier races propagate if sex organs only came with the Adamic race?
Please ask this question on my "Saucer Trip" thread, where this passage is also posted (pg.10). I do not want to alter the subject matter of this potentially interesting thead.
