American Indian Spiritual and Pagan alternative belief systems - an answer to the consumer society

Reconnecting with nature recharges the spirit

So, if you are not into organised religion, you are not necessarily disenfranchised. Indeed, many are finding organised religion a turn off and are leaving it.

We often hear of dwindling church congregations of half a dozen stalwarts, the phrase 'when two or three are gathered together,' may be how organised religion eventually ends, when it is unviable to provide.

So where have all of these followers gone? why has organised religion declined? The stance by many schools to dispense with formal and religious based assemblies has been the biggest driver of a lack of following in recent times along with trendy left-leaning teachers. Communists despise religion.

A general malaise from the 1950's onwards has led people who were constrained by the strictures of wartime rationing and observance of regulations like the blackout, to rebel. Even after the war, rationing stayed in force, longer indeed than the war itself lasted.

When that was repealed, they found a new freedom, then came rock n roll and the swinging sixties. The grip of organised religion became ever more tenuous with the goings on of the Haight-Ashbory set and the New Age generation setting new standards and pushing the boundaries of acceptability.

Life became busier from the 1960's and the people became richer, but not spiritually.

A spin off of the New Agers of late 60's America was the resurgence of the Pagan and Spiritualist belief systems. In fact these have many shared traits with the American Indian people who have a spiritualist type of existence. I have come to see I have more in common with the American Indian beliefs than than the organised religion I was spoon fed.

People have become cynical, they have been lied to too many times by politicians supposedly acting in their best interests, when they are often clearly not.

The prevalence of UFO sightings has no doubt come to mind and the pat and frankly childish denials of the subject and convenient explanations fools no one. The people can see through the illusions.

The recent Brexit campaign was one example that the game is up, protestations of forthcoming Biblical-dimension doom and gloom if we voted to leave the EU were laughable.

The politicians severely underestimated the people's ability to see through the veiled threats, the desperate pleas to remain were ignored. The political arena changed, with people supporting in the past the major parties only, crossing the floor to vote with people from other parties for what they all thought was right for the majority and country, not just themsleves.

Even church leaders frantically and desperately tried to shore up the remain vote, a symptom of the present is that people made up their own minds.

This sort of instance has driven people to ask questions, questions about where we are going, where we are being led and who is leading us, do they actually know what they are doing?

A way of thought is developing and people are less accepting of dogma and rhetoric, they can see through the bullshit. The game has changed and so have people's need to find something else to follow, a true path and a true way of their own.

People are finding they need to re-evaluate their lives. They are often very busy running around with very busy lives that they are becoming ill with all the pressures that face them. 'New age' retreats allow people to find themselves, where they find people that help them redefine what is actually important in their lives.

Some then connect to nature, they find as the American Indians have, that going back to the forests reconnects them to a better place in their own minds. I have found that the countryside is always best for me to be in, just to stand in a forest, take in the air and enjoy the calmness does amazing things for you. It is like a warm rippling energy permeates you.

And this is why the Pagan and Spiritual beliefs have come back as a rejection of the modern consumer society by some people who have seen the light.

Go and read some American Indian wisdom, you will find for yourself that they have a great wealth of wisdom and knowledge. You will spiritually enrich yourself if you do so and go out into the forests and soak up the natural vibe. Then look for a way out, off the treadmill.

When a star seed finds their true purpose, it is the most amazing feeling

Feel out of place on this Planet? You are not alone. Chances are you are a Star Seed.

So what is all about this planet we are on? When I was about 12, I suddenly asked myself this question. I had realised that this planet didn't make sense, it was like an unfinished project that someone had left half done. Many years later, I would read about the Anunnaki people who had created life here and then left abruptly after the great flood thousands of years ago.

If you feel you don't quite fit in with the rest of people, you are not alone, try looking at the Star Seed Quiz, you can find many variants of them on the web. You will be surprised when you rack up 25 out of 30 statements you may agree with. 

I long had plans to be like everyone else to have the usual milestones of house, family etc but try as I might, these things never seemed to fall into place. I made all the efforts to do so, but it just seemed at every turn, something put me off course.

I found this very disheartening and saddening, I aspired to all these things that appeared 'normal,' but it just seemed never to be the case that others seemingly just fell into.

Now looking back, it appears that there is a greater plan, it is said by many including the American Indians that we live many lifetimes, so I am no longer sad that my aspirations have not as yet worked out, perhaps they will in time. If we have the option to return in the future, perhaps then things may be fulfilling in that direction.

I seemed to have a situation where I would rarely belong to anything for more than 2 years I would then move on like clockwork. I moved house a lot and could make friends but always seemed to be on to new things. It just made no sense, why this moving on? It was for a reason.

I wondered why, but just kept going. By chance a relative gave me a book they didn't want and in it was a section that asked 'are you a star seed? I found a checklist of 30 questions, traits if you like and of the thirty, I agreed straight with 25 and partly with another.

The American Indians call them star people

This seemed like no coincidence and there are many more like me it would seem. I read that a star seed has a purpose and I was trying to reason out my purpose, 'you were sent here for a purpose,' I was being told in things I read, but what purpose?

It seemed a year or so ago, I found my purpose.

Some years back, a company I worked for was taken over and many jobs including mine were lost. So, I ended up in the Police service. for about seven years until I was injured on duty and had to leave.

But that job gave me scope to use investigation powers that I had already been developing, for researching things. Almost like a destiny had been arranged.

So to round up, it became clear that all these short term objectives had indeed a purpose. For me to be someone who could be in a place but on the periphery, observing and learning and then moving on, all the while gaining knowledge for future use.

All of my life I have tended to gravitate towards older people, I found children rather childish when I was growing up. Indeed, when I had the opportunity to go out with an adult and see their working environment and be a part of that it felt as though I should be there and that school and that scene was irrelevant. This was where the future was. School was where the past was. It's a star seed trait, it was there all along.

This great learning and observation process seemed to be my true purpose and it was the most amazing feeling to find that out. You see, a star seed on this planet comes here without any idea of their true mission, they just have to work it out.

Now I knew, I was to learn and observe but what then? It all seemed rather pointless,unless you had a purpose for all this. Mine was a two fold purpose.

I had always been interested in writing and after leaving the Police, I wrote two books whilst I was looking for something else to do as a job. Since that time I have written over twenty books and counting, mostly crime fiction but some factual works too.

That seemed to be one strand of it, the other was to use the accumulated knowledge.

I had been aware through my work with paranormal investigation that the American Indian people had strong beliefs in extra terrestrial visitors as had many original peoples in other places, Australia, Africa etc.

I have for many years found a connection with nature and love to go out to local areas of the countryside where I live.

I was researching for a book on future humans an robotics, it involved me going back to the

development of computers and observing their development and how they related and worked in relation to the human brain systems.

Somehow in this research, I picked up a youtube video of the American Indian wisdom.

I started to read these and wanted to know more, because these facets of knowledge were amazing, so I started to look into this and came across their connection to the Star People.

I came across another video on the reservations that many Indians lived on and the situation there was pretty dire. It seemed obvious for me that this needed to be changed, so I set about using my skills and experience in business development to put forward a plan for them to use their skills, experience and heritage in a way that could build prosperity and provide jobs, but in a way that did so with limited consumption of resources, much in line with their past ways.

This maybe is just the beginning, but I am in a phase now where I have a platform that anyone in the world can read what I have to say, perhaps my example might show others that they too have a purpose as yet unknown.

So to the end and maybe you are wondering what next?

Well, there might be another dimension to help with the explanation of all this purpose which through the work with the American Indian people I have come to see. Above is a piece of the Brenham Meteorite, a Pallasite that contains Nickel, Iron and Olivine.

These materials do not occur in this combination on Earth, but have come from somewhere out in the Universe perhaps from something bigger, from which our planet was a part of.

Now the Hopi Indians refer to meteorites as 'Diamonds from the sky,' or 'falling stars' the Lakota Indian phrase that translates to near that is 'Mahpiya.' That, is very similar I am told to tone of the first words I ever spoke. Is that a coincidence? Perhaps my destiny was always to help the Lakota people in some way and this has come full circle. Indeed, the Lakota believe that the circle represents things going and coming around.

Perhaps that this has all come full circle for me to. I use a piece of Brenham Meteorite as a dowsing pendulum for asking questions, you would be surprised how accurate the messages are.

I used it recently to look into an unsolved murder case and the replies it indicated were very interesting.

The journey continues.....

 

UFO Corner - The Hopi / Mayan Indian Crop Circle in Wiltshire UK

This is a crop circle that appeared in SIlbury, Wiltshire, UK and is a design motif used by the Hopi Indian and Maya Indian peoples.

This artwork in the cornfield measures around 300 feet across, a fantastic piece of work and the accuracy suggests it was not human created.
