"Don’t shake, America. This is only what You have brought upon yourself.” ~ Chief Geronimo
I was standing on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.. I saw no landmarks, I just knew by the Spirit where I was standing -- in the heart of D.C.
It was extremely dark. Like midnight. There was no man-made light anywhere. I knew [again, by the Spirit] that to my immediate right was the Lincoln Memorial, and in the distance to my left directly opposite the Lincoln Memorial was the Washington Monument, with the Reflection Pool just up ahead to my left. My eyes remained fixed on the sight straight ahead of me.
Before me, I saw a huge chasm in the earth, deep and wide like the ground had split wide open. The sense was that utter decimation had taken place, and that the split earth extended beyond my sight, but I was only given to see the spot before me. The inside of the canyon-like split appeared charred black, just as a log of firewood appears after it’s burned all night in the fireplace, and is reduced to an ashen shell of its former self. burning for hours in the fireplace.

a reply to: BasementWarriorKryptonite Ever heard someone wish for a worriors death? Or an honorable one. Perhaps the actions you take in this life reflect your next. Surely you can see the energy we put toward honoring our nations protectors dieing in battle. Maybe that energy can be harnessed.
So my smokem time ramblings are not true? How dare you. Seriously maybe you could explain your view a bit more and i could take some knowledge from you on the subject.

Karma is bad. Only vikarma is good so you're wrong.
Well kudos to you and a few others for trying to grasp meaning in my thread. I expected it to pass by without thought but it seems i hit on a subject that was bigger than my thoughts. My view on karma hmmm... Lets take love instead and think about the place in us where it dwells. It is very powerful and can influence us. Everything would be just peachy if that was the only emotion in our hearts but as beautiful and as powerful as love is it is not alone. It has to deal with all the other emotions and factors that govern our everyday lives. You can choose to put love first and live that way but you will often be taken advantage of. Karma is like that in a sense. it does exist but not alone without obsticles in the way. Things like fate,life expierences and even magik are involved. Mastering the arts takes much time, mental clairity and will. Chairity is the key. That does not include the spiritual forces that come into play. Perhaps that person you imaginarly punched needed it to use as fuel to complete their journey or perhaps you just punched someone that killed your family in another life. Who knows except your spirit. Then the question becomes how well do you know your spirit?

Though I do have my own theories, they're mostly placeholders, I often do wonder where people with all these intricate personal mythologies get their information from, though I also suspect it's through personal mystical experiences a lot of the time.
But then the question becomes, how do you verify it, and who is right.. there's thousands of us just on ATS, and all these narratives clash with each other to a certain degree.
In your case I'm wondering through what methods you learned about the earlier cycles and the fate of certain peoples of that cycle.
Who were the winners of the previous cycle and why would they in their 'infinite wisdom'(being the winners I presume they transcended the system in some fashion?) choose to punish the indians?
Is it karma in the sense of an eye for an eye, the price has to be paid, the imbalance must be corrected so why not have these two indivuals or these groups of individuals meet and they get another chance to correct the mistake of a previous existence. Breaking the karmic relation could only be accomplished by transcending the situation or in other words turning the other cheek.
If I punched another person in the face yesterday, it then follows that that person will either get a chance to repay me in kind sooner or later, or perhaps my punch was retaliation for something he did even earlier. In this case the punch would simply be the next act in a chain of events that go way back, neither part willing, able, wise or conscious enough to let bygones be bygones. To further complicate the issue this example supposes that karma acts in a very specific way. We would all have a long list of persons we have had issues with, and we would all get a new chance at transcending these situations.
The other option would be for karma to work in a general sense, with all of us having a net sum without the complication of our lives having to be scripted enough for all the issues to play out, it would be easier certainly but having experienced synchronicity to a ridiculous degree it wouldn't exactly be a deal breaker for me.. leaving me uncertain but not opposed to any of the ideas.
Though I have to say I did have an experience where supposedly a modern american hispanic did have a past life as a spanish man pillaging in the New World, well, at least according to some sources.. I have trust issues dealing with tricksters of all kinds.
What's your take?

Why do people think Natives are all mystical and special?
The Native American Indians descended from the ancient Hebrews and called God “Yo He Wah” (the three Hebrew letters) and Yah-Wah (not Yahweh, Jave, Java, nor Jehovah).
“From these different writers, it is plain that where the Indians have not been corrupted by foreigners, their customs and religious worship are nearly alike; and also that every different tribe or nation of Indians uses such-like divine proper name, and awful [fearful] sounds, as Yah-Wah and Hetovah, being trans-positions of the divine essential name [Yo He Wah], as our northern Indians often repeat in their religious dances.
In the 1770’s, an unsuspecting man named James Adair stumbled across some powerful information in his curiosity for truth. You won’t get this from mainstream news, but the native American Indians descended from the Biblical Hebrews. You won’t hear this in mainstream Christianity, but the native American Indians worshiped the same god that the Biblical Hebrews did. Do you know what God’s name is?
Lesson from American Indians and Biblical Hebrews

Check the DNA analysis of Native Americans and other tribes around the world that scattered during different time periods, u will find those peoples are the original tribes of Judah...
Many people don't know that the Native American Indians knew the sacred name YHWH - (GOD - The Father) - before others ever came to this land... YHWH's name is all through the history, the songs, the stories and the ways of life of the Eastern Shawnee, Eastern Cherokee, Powhatan, Hopewell and Fort Ancients... Although there are a few spelling variations and/or attributes - YHWH - YHVH - YOWAH - YaHWeH - YaHVeH - YeHoWaH - YeHehaWaHeha - YoHehaWavoHe - Yodh Heh Wah Heh... They all are the name of the Eternal Creator of heaven and earth.
The Native (North and South) American Indians have a relationship with YHVH (YHWH) that precedes the white man’s gospel. How did they know? I have asked one American Indian, and he says they do not consider themselves as descending from ancient Israelites. Yet they have similar spiritualities. The spirit of Indian music reflects the spirit of Yahweh. How did the 10 commandments end up in New Mexico? Especially on stone? It is clear that the Indians of America possess a special spirituality that reminds Christians and Jews of the holy teachings given by Yahweh.
In some tribes, there may be a direct ancestral connection to the ancient Israelites. In other tribes, there may be no connection at all. But, it is clear that Yahweh has revealed Himself to some of these peoples, and this reflects in their actions, values, songs, prophecies, and traditions. We need to de-program ourselves from thinking that Yahweh would only want to reveal Himself to just one part of His creation, the Israelites.
Yahweh and the American Indians
The American Cherokee Indians worship the Supreme Being, Ye ho waah or Yo ho wah, which is very similar to the Hebrew name of God (Yahweh or Yahoveh). The Cherokee Indians believe in one Supreme Being--the Creator-- and have surprising connections to Christianity.
Ancient Cherokee Indians believed before 1750 that God was going to appear on Earth as a man and they called this person by five different Old Testament (Hebrew) names for Jesus. The Cherokees have three actual cities of refuge, they have the stories of the great flood, and many other Old Testament stories. They also adhere to the prohibitions found within the Ten Commandments.
The Cherokee belived in Yahweh (God of the Hebew)
Legends of the Pale Prophet from the Native Peoples of the Americas
The legends that follow are the legends of the Healer. These legends were told by the fireside of a "saintly white teacher," who performed miracles with healing and control over the winds, waters, and other natural items. All describe his eyes as gray-green like the ocean and told stories of the future. His symbol has been woven into blankets, carved on canyon walls, put on pottery and danced in dances. His name has been given to mountains and rivers.
Though the stories are many and spread throughout the Americas, they are broken into bits and pieces, hard to follow and piece together into one tale. His name varied, most names were reflective of his control over the wind and water, as he would request each tribe to name Him as they wished, stating there was no value to a name.
Common to almost all:
• He was a white man with a beard
• He said He came from across the sea
• He would choose twelve "disciples"
• He spoke of His Father's Kingdom
• He wore a bright white garment with golden sandals
• He made references to the future
• He had control over the wind and all elements
• He had the ability to heal wounds
• His sign was the cross
• He taught love and peace
• He taught that good deeds were important
• He referred them to the Dawn Star

What I like about Karma is that when I treat someone like dirt, I know they had it coming.
