The Legend Of The Ghost Dancers
Who They Were
As the American settlers increasingly swallowed up the ancient Tribal Land of the many Indian Nations, and the United State Army enforced their fraudulent claims, countless brave warriors fell to the roar of the guns of the well armed Americans, as they attempted to protect their families, their land, and their traditional way of life. In the anguish of their premature deaths, the young warriors vowed to someday return and extract their just revenge on the greedy, bloodthirsty Americans who committed these crimes. Survivors who witnessed their horrible genocide kept the faith as they daily longed for their glorious return.
Though each sovereign nation entertained their own version of the cumulative events, it soon became apparent that all of the fallen warriors from all nations would be remembered as the "Ghost Dancers." At the times of the New Moon and especially at the Full Moon, there were those who claimed they could see the Ghost Dancers dancing away through the clouds in the night sky. Whistling winds were said to utter their forlorn battle cries.
Time Changes Everything
Decades passed and the new twentieth century ushered in great changes in the people and in their developing culture. Generations came and went until there was no one left alive who could remember the tragedy of the great personal losses. The reality of the Ghost Dancers faded into legend. The American schools taught the Indian children their ancestors were "evil" and they must forget their heritage if they were to be accepted and survive in the new world called America. The government had successfully buried the memory of tens of thousands of years of noble Indian history. The Legend of the Ghost Dancers became a myth - a tale based on events that they said never occurred. The succeeding generations believed this to be so, if indeed they ever heard the story at all.
Historians are famous for altering historical events or purposely omitting them altogether to exonerate the guilty and persecute the innocent victims of savage butchery. This practice satisfies the present as it guides the future on a path that is comfortable to the registered elite. Current religions could not have survived had the truth been made known. The clergy and the politicians are well aware of this.
The Hidden Truth
Mortal men do not posses the ability to hide the truth forever. Re-incarnated entities are often born with an innate memory that is sometimes predicated by an unnatural need to know. Every new generation is blessed with "Strange Ones" in their midst. Their unorthodox thoughts aggravate the ancient memory cells in their peers. Though they may not fully understand, they do indeed listen. Their elders shake their heads in dismay as increments of ancient truths are laid upon the alter of the human illusion for arrangement and assembly.
Artifacts are re-examined. History is re-evaluated. The new light of knowledge illumines the deep, dark corners of camouflaged historical events. Truth is innate. Truth can be hidden from the eye but it can never be purged from the sub-conscious mind. Forever we are haunted by lessons unlearned. Forever we shall be plagued by the catalysts of life until such time when we are brave enough to stand up and face the responsibilities of our past. The Indian knew this and he practiced it. This helped to make him the highest evolved species of the human race.
Time Is The Healer
Time changes everything. Time is also the great healer. The return of the warrior Ghost Dancers to seek their just revenge is a thought too obnoxious to contemplate. What kind of power does a Ghost Dancer posses anyway? We quickly think of the poltergeist and his mischievous and destructive ways. Is this to be the direction their noble return is destined to take? Supposing they all suddenly appeared in our midst, what would we do then? As ghosts they could not be apprehended or harmed. So, what would we do, if they did suddenly appear? These were the thoughts the people pondered. Nothing else would come to mind.
Popular though it was in the collective minds of the potential perpetrators, time and changing events down here on the surface altered their original plan. It was duly noted that the activities of the people were systematically promoting an ever growing decadent culture. The perpetual agony of this self destructive process was far more devastating than anything their imagination could devise. Wait and watch became the newly amended attitude.
All upcoming generations are obliged to accept a world not of their own making. This is traditional. With deep sympathy the warriors looked down upon the pending circumstances which the next generation must dutifully accept. Theirs would be the ultimate in human punishment.
Time had passed. Righteous anger had subsided and mellowed. As in their own cases, these little children did not deserve their lot. Based on the Law of One, compassion and wisdom made a rare union and a new concept of justice was born.
