Dear Vickie,
I apologize that I could not read through the volume of writing between you
and Angelique. There was so much energy there...
I used to think justice was such a worthy cause. I was driven to see it come
about. It changed my entire personality, my energy, even my dreaming...
But justice comes in unseen ways, too. Unseen when the focus is still in
seeking instead of seeing it right before you.
I am not a well read person in the spirituality of the native people, but the
feeling of it comes to me in dreams. When I walk in the woods, when I listen
to the wind in the trees and when I can be somewhere that I dont see any
signs of civilization. I sense what it was like when the vastness of the
virgin land in America spread for hundreds of miles. The feeling is profound.
This must be one of the things feeling missed - it is powerfully intense even
to imagine it. I think somewhere deep inside all us, we all miss it... we all
yearn for it...
And for the most part, its gone. Is this a form of justice? There is only
one way to get it back, and that is, to remember it and travel there, in
meditation.
Recreating what has been. After some meditation it can be done. In my mind it
still does exist. And I think it does for anyone who can imagine it, who has
any trigger of the memory of it. I feel the recreation of the past comes in
stories and legends and rituals and dreams. If I were grieving the loss of
my vast land I would spend all of my time remembering it, that I could
continue to be there. Fighting a here and now battle for justice distracts us
from simply just going there.
Those things to do in the here and now should be saving those images and
stories that help us all remember. We all need to know and remember. I
believe we will bring the here and now back to it someday, but only when each
of us are driven by our dreams and meditations, and profoundly moved by the
spiritual nature of once again returning there.
If you want to win the battle I believe it is to plant the seed of
remembering. Native Americans are seeking a justice that will only distract
from this, and justice is only a state of mind once you arrive there in any
case. Why on earth would it be the best thing to dwell there when the bliss
comes from sensing the way it used to be?
Perhaps Native American's preconditioned need to alcohol and to sniff
gasoline is so that one can return to the dream state and recapture the
memory to us once again. Perhaps this needs to be understood before this
phenomena evolves to other healthier methods and higher states of
consciousness.
The real justice is in all of us knowing what is now gone, and in missing it
and yearning to return to it.
