Namaste Spirit Brothers and Sisters,

This is Robert ‘Standing Eagle' Marshall, Founder and CEO of the "We Are All Related" Foundation, I bid you greetings.

Sun-7Oct2007 was the second anniversary of the Dream/Vision I had that began the endeavor to start the world-wide ceremonies for peace, form the foundation, and started myriad other projects dictated by the Dream/Vision.

This upcoming Winter Solstice, Sat-22Dec2007, will mark the two-year anniversary of this endeavor to raise the spiritual vibrational and shift our planet towards global fellowship, brotherhood, healing, unconditional love, and peace.  

The purpose of this message today is to convey my heartfelt thanks to you all, around the world, who have been participating-especially to you my Muslim brothers and sisters in Iraq, Palestine, and Afghanistan.  In our future there will be no more room for the minority, rabid, fundamentalism in any religious sects to over shadow the views of the majority who's true, vested interests is only that of peace, love, harmony, and balance.

As we look around us now, being witnesses to all the fear mongering, institutionalized doubt, purposeful ignorance, "false-flag" nationalism and its accompanying propaganda, programming, and brain-washing on a global scale-it is hard to believe that a concerted, purposeful, and heart driven effort will give us that old cliché of "peace in our time".

However, my spirit brothers and sisters we can and we will. And the plan is this. Get your groups together, the same ones that have been participating in the ceremonies, support each other, in the high points and the bad, stand-strong, grow your numbers through networking-like-attracts-like-have informal/formal gatherings, prayer meetings (denominational or non-denominational is of no importance), car washes, bake sales, drumming circles, chanting/singing circles, games, whatever you choose, whenever you choose and do it in the name of solidarity for peace. This is "community building". This is initiating a spark that will build into a power-point. This is holding a mind-set for peace, on a grassroots level, the likes of which this world has never seen!

Why do we need to do this? It is because-

• We the peaceful people of this planet can not afford the "luxury" of being "quiet" anymore! The old adage of "the squeaky wheel gets the oil" applies to the situation in the world-at-large. All of the "terrorists/opportunists/thugs/fundamentalists" are dictating the "pulse" of the planet and the news media and governments are more that ready and able to spread this message to the populace. Not until the peaceful people raise a constant and purposeful voice will the rest of the world see that there is a balance to all of the mayhem!
• We the peaceful people of this planet can not afford the "luxury" of waiting for things to settle down! We need right action for the good of all concerned right now-not the "chosen few"! Two elder statesmen in our history addressed this far better than I-Abraham Lincoln, "...things do indeed come to those who wait; But, it is usually the leftovers!" And Martin Luther King, "The time is always right to do what is right."
• We the peaceful people of this planet can not afford the "luxury" of passivity! "Freedom" Isn't "Free", and "Peace" Isn't "Passive"! These are active states of existence and it takes work to get them and it takes work and diligence to maintain them!!!
• We the peaceful people of this planet can not afford the "luxury" of waiting for people to come to their senses! What "senses" are you alluding to? We are in a time of rampant insanity. And the only time there will be any "sanity" is when, and only when "sanity" speaks!!!
• We the peaceful people of this planet can not afford the "luxury" of searching to find our ourselves and our purpose; and waiting for the prophesized ones to come to our aid-We are those prophesized individuals! Chad Kroeger of Nickelback summed it up with the lyrics from the song "Hero", "...And they say that a hero can save us. I'm not gonna stand here and wait!"

Along with the anniversary of the Dream/Vision came another Spirit guided tasking. I have been instructed to conduct Prayer Pipe Ceremonies for peace, enlightenment, global healing, and solidarity. These are to commence in the spring of 2008, starting with the state capital plaza in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and then each state capital plaza in the rest of United States.

I am to place five, hand-sized, river rock type stones on the ground in the shape of the Medicine Wheel. I will then cleanse, bless the area, and then do ceremony there in the theme of "We Are All Related"-and I will be joined there by all of the Creator's children-representatives of all faiths, races, and creeds and, hopefully that state's elected officials (one can hope), who are willing to step outside the "box" and stand in solidarity for peace.

Each of us will raise our voices, from our individual faiths, with a heartfelt message of standing as one voice, one mind, one people, and one spirit! In doing so we will be effectively setting a harmonic and power point that will link, in kind, with the other sites that will follow.

This will definitely be a huge undertaking that will need a network of people who are of the same mind, donations of transportation, lodging, and money; but I know that this can and will be done-it is just another step towards taking back our planet-after the states I am to do ceremony in the capitals in other countries till the "web" is finished.

Hey, what else did you expect from someone who one of their main totems is a spider. (smile)

In closing I will leave you with an excerpt from a talk I gave last year, so you can see what my "agenda" is-I am open to all of your inputs!
_______________________________________________________________________
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY -

... I am looking forward to the day when we can all sit together on the desert sands there in Gaza, in Palestine, in all of the present disputed territories and:

Light the counsel fires,

Sit in counsel together,

Break bread together,

Talk the "talk-of-the-ages",

Sing the "songs-of-the-ages",

Play our heart's and soul's music together and;

Dance the "dance-of-life" as true spiritual brothers and sisters. And do so without the "trumped up differences", burdens, baggage, and trappings of our religions, flags, territories, egos, and borders.

Just imagine-

no boundaries,

No Boundaries,

NO BOUNDARIES!

N-O-N-E!!!!!

Just think of this concept-this glorious day-just open hands, open arms, open hearts, and open minds!!

To open a true new age of peace, prosperity, equality, and healing!!!

Namaste to you all, my spirit brothers and sisters. Aho, Mitakuye Oyasin!

(Excerpt from a talk on entitled "The New World Order Is Our New Enemy", given at "Coffee-At-Dawn" Coffee House and Tea Room on Sat, 18Mar2006)

Wesley Vincent,

I will truly miss you my old friend. Your passing has left a gigantic space in the community. But your mission, your trials, and your tribulations on this plane are finally at an end. You have set the benchmark for others following in your wake to live up to in their own way.

My old friend you have journeyed around the Medicine Wheel many a time in your life time. But in your transition from this plane your are now in the “North” of the Wheel—the place/realm of the “Elders”, “Sacred Wisdom”, “Sacred Knowledge”, and the place where the “Counsel Fires” burn for eternity!

You are with the “Old Ones” now, keeping an ever watchful eye on we mere mortals who are still in this “Proving Ground” on the physical plane—and I know, from time-to-time, you’ll be looking in on us at the Blue Eagle, at ceremonies, your old Covens, and the Pagan Gatherings to see how we are doing/not doing as the case may be—or creating your particular “mischief” that we’ve all grown so accustomed to over the years!!!

PRAYER—

Oh, Shaar E’-Tara, Mother/Father Creator

Whose voice I hear in the winds and whose breath gives life to all this world and our Multiverse.

Hear me.

My friend, Wes, a humble man has made the journey to stand before you, one of your many children—he is small and weak. He seeks your strength and wisdom. Let him walk in beauty. Make his eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.

His hands have always respected the things you have made, his ears were ever sharp to hear your voice. Make him wise, so that he may know all that is in your heart so that he can teach those he left behind—the myriad lessons you have hidden in every leaf, cloud, stream, and rock.

He never sought the strength to be superior to his brothers and sisters. He sought strength and knowledge to better the existence of others.

Shaar E’-Tara, Wesley’s life has faded like the fading sunset—He has come to you now with clean hands and straight eyes—Welcome him to sit with you and the other Elders at the Great Counsel Fire—His work here now is done and he stands before you without shame.

Aho!

Namaste Everyone,
I am sending you the release announcement of a new Metaphysical Quarterly Magazine called the "Standing Wave" the brainchild, and labor of love entity of Patricia Wellborn and local Metaphysician, Counselor, and Teacher.

It will fill the void left by the departure of the old New Mexico Light, and will give everyone a better financial opportunity to advertise what they do than the present "Living Natural" Magazine is offering.

This literal, grassroots venture is going to break new ground in a way that most New Age consumers and Practitioners haven't seen--an advertising structure that is truely geared to the middle to low income people who have been up against "sticker-shock" whenever they wanted to get the word out about who they are, and what they do!

Unlike the "Free" structure of the Light, Living Natural, and other such venues, The Standing Wave sells for $2.00. This pricing structure makes the advertising cost to the contributers more realistic and well within a normal household's budget!

Also It will be available for purchase in Black&White format at the local stores or in Color online!!!

And I am proud to be a contributing writer in this venture--here's hoping that you will have the same feelings also!

Here is the link to Patricia Wellborn's main site with a link to the magazine-- http://www.WellbornWellness.com

This is the link to the Magazine (it's a large file, 6-7 Mb, so be patient while it loads).
http://wellbornwellness.com/StandingWave1.pdf

Complimentary Issues are now at Abitha's, Crystal Dove, and Blue Eagle. The main issue is due for release in July so please contact Patricia at: 505-291-4481, or by e-mail at: pwellborn1@comcast.net

Again I hope you will become advertisers and contributors to "The Standing Wave", I am looking forward to seeing you all there!

There was an Elder on the rez, Darrell Bonecutter, that took me under his wing and taught me many things whenever we would go back there to visit relatives. I was persecuted alot because I wasn't pure blood--I was a "breed". Being African, Seminole, and Cherokee, as I was growing up, I had both "nigger" and "breed" in my vocabulary starting at 5 years old. One day Bonecutter sat me down and told me a story of sorts to help me get a perspective of what makes people do the things they do to others after I was asking him why I got called the names that I just mentioned. _________________________________________________________ A Cherokee Elder is teaching his grandson about life. He says to the boy, "A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, regret, greed, false-humility, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, lies, pride, and ego. The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. And this same fight is going on inside you, my son - and inside every other person." The boy was quiet for a minute, then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The Cherokee Elder simply replied, "The one you feed!"

... I am looking forward to the day when we can all sit together on the desert sands there in Gaza, in Palestine, in all of the present disputed territories and:

Light the counsel fires,
Sit in counsel together,
Break bread together,
Talk the "talk-of-the-ages",
Sing the "songs-of-the-ages",
Play our heart's and soul's music together and;
Dance the "dance-of-life" as true spiritual brothers and sisters.

And do so without the "trumped up differences", burdens, baggage, and trappings of our religions, flags, territories, egos, and borders--no boundaries, No Boundaries, NO BOUNDARIES...

N-O-N-E ! ! !

Just think of this concept, this glorious day--just open hands, open arms, open hearts, and open minds!!

To open a true new age of peace, prosperity, equality, and healing!!!

--Robert 'Standing Eagle' Marshall (from a talk given on Sat,18Mar2006)

As "Elders" our gifts to the mundane and spiritual worlds is that of the "Corporate"/Ancient knowledge from our experiences in the physical and the spirit world. This universal "language" comes from our brain and heart speaking as one—"Wisdom"!

This wisdom and its truths cuts through the fog of institutionalized doubt and purposeful/willful ignorance. It hammers relentlessly at the walls of prejudice and the trumped-up differences that have been laid in place and seemingly set in stone by our governments and major society's co-dependent, fundamentalist, religious institutions with truths that can not be denied. And defies their cookie cutter, dogma driven answers—truth defies being put into a neat little “box”!

Truth is an insidious little bugger which quickly finds its home in an opened and enlightened mind, and relentlessly gnaws, claws, and nags at closed ones for it will not be denied! It is blind to color, race, creed, religion, economic status, and national origins—it just "IS"—and that's what makes it so "DANGEROUS" to the defenders of the status quo!!!

And the clarion call from Spirit, our Earth Mother, Father Sky, The Elementals, and the Creator has/is sounding for all of us in these times ahead—"Stand and be counted, Send a voice, Sing your hearts song, Be not weary, and Don't weaken my children!"

"Aho, Mitakuye Oyasin (We Are All Related)—
If the people lead, then the leaders will follow!
We Are One Planet,
We Are One People,
We Are One Mind,
We Are One Spirit!"

And as my Grandmother would say at the beginning of my training sessions, "Let us dance around the tree today with joy in our hearts, shake it and see what fruits it will drop for us this time around!"
