This was passed to me by a friend who knows my journey.

It is taken from this url - http://www.rainbowbody.net/Ongwhehonwhe/Earthbase.htm

This was passed on by Chief Joe Chasing Horse, a relative of Crazy Horse. He translated it from the words of a grandmother who was present when the words were spoken.

This is a statement of Crazy Horse as he sat smoking the sacred pipe at Paha Sapa with Sitting Bull for the last time, 4 days before he was assassinated. Many of these words are often repeated. There is one line often left out, that of the “young white ones”.

“Upon suffering beyond suffering; the Red Nation shall rise again and it shall be a blessing for a sick world. A world filled with broken promises, selfishness and separations. A world longing for light again. I see a time of seven generations when all the colors of mankind will gather under the sacred Tree of Life and the whole Earth will become one circle again. In that day there will be those among the Lakota who will carry knowledge and understanding of unity among all living things, and the young white ones will come to those of my people and ask for this wisdom. I salute the light within your eyes where the whole universe dwells. For when you are at that center within you and I am in that place within me, we shall be as one.”

– Crazy Horse

I too feel that the world is sick from broken promises, selfishness, and separations. These words bring a healing energy to my heart at a much needed time.

Thank you to my friend who understands where I am, and what lies within my heart of hearts. And thank you to each and every person that has supported me on this journey. It is my journey to travel alone, but we are all in this together. And I too long for that day that “we shall be as one”.

I have been tagged by Clyde at the Feeling Good blog to add five ways that I raise my vibes… so here’s my contribution to the High Vibes Game of tag!

(For more on the game, look here for the post that started it all at OptimistLab, and here for my quick post on the game.)

5 Ways I raise my vibes

1) Laugh

Even if you are feeling terrible - just force it! Sometimes, when I am feeling really, really bad, and I force myself to laugh - the result is so ridiculous that I find myself really laughing at the whole thing, and I feel a little better than when I started.

2) Let my inner child take over

Dance, play, bang on pots and pans, make stupid jokes, seek love and affirmation freely, cry for no apparent reason, run away from the boogie man, eat marshmallows with glee.

If you have forgotten how kids act, and don’t have any rugrats around to learn from - go to a playground and just watch and learn. Kids live in the moment. They can teach us a lot!

3) Get into the Now

Stop for just a minute - stop worrying about the state of the world, your bills, your past, your job, what your neighbors think, etc… In fact, maybe the easiest way to let it go is to let it all start running through your mind like a sound track - and slowly back away, and as you back away with the soundtrack running, start to hear it more and more as if it is coming across like Charlie Brown’s teacher:

“What about work, your doctor appointment, the results of the test, those bills, whaaa whaaa whaaa whaaa whaaaaaa”

Get it?

Eventually, you’ll be able to tune out that droning… then look around. Just look, listen, feel. Don’t judge it. Just be.

4) Think of the love that has been present in your life

Think of someone you have loved, someone that brought you peace and joy and never hurt you… Doesn’t matter how new or old the love is, doesn’t matter if the person is near or far, just think about that love for a while - not missing it or wanting to recreate it - just appreciating its presence in your life.

5) Go outside and look around

Walk, drive, run, skip, sit in the grass, climb a tree - whatever you want to do - but get out of your head and into the world that is unfolding around you!

That’s it for now!

If you like these posts, please vote for them at the High Vibe It site - the more votes, the more people that will read these wondeful thoughts. Together, we raise these ideas and vibrations higher and higher!

I am not sure who to tag that hasn’t already been tagged… so I will give that part of the game a little more thought!

Now… you… you there at the computer… back away from the mouse and go outside for a bit!

The High Vibe It is “powered by Pligg”… which recently released a newer version of the software.

As such, I found I had to change the template (i.e. the look and feel) that the site uses in order to get the latest features. It is going to take me some time to get the look of the site back to where I would like it to be.

In the meantime, the site should be more responsive… I also like that so much more functionality is easier to get to with this newer template.

Here are some highlights:

• Take a look at the Upcoming section and be sure to vote for stories you like so that they can make it to the home page… also, you can now look at the most popular upcoming stories.
• The Top Users page also has a nicer interface now. For example, you can sort by column headers to easily see the top submitters, or the top voters for example.
• Tag Cloud — you can drill down and look at top tags over recent periods as well… here’s the tag cloud for this week.
• For more on what a tag cloud is, take a look at this article on Wikipedia.

While we’re on the subject of tags… take a look at all of the new stories tagged with HighVibeItGame… the new tag introduced to collect all the great submissions for the High Vibes Game introduced by Cardin Routh over at OptimistLab.
