Before fake news? Its been unfake only intermittently and mostly by accident always

The Ghost dance movement was brought about by the desperation of the Lakota people who saw their culture disappearing ❤❤.

Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Crow King, Gall etc were great Lakota leaders, Red Cloud was a sellout who had a big part in the murder of Crazy Horse ❤❤.

God is Red is one of the best books I ever read

Awesome. Best talk I’ve heard in months and I watch a lot of talks. Thank you. Shared. Subscribed.

I was taught all Tribes were peace loving, nonviolent and didn’t believe in taking land, violence or massacres. What one Tribe did to another Tribe is exactly what the US Federal Government did to the Natives. Little Bighorn for example was stolen Crow land, and is Crow land again. The Tribes were warring over land for Hundreds of years before any European took a breath here. I always found that ironic.

Thank you and well done! This lecture will help me craft a discussion/questions for my book club at Los Angeles County’s Stoneview Nature Center later in April. Such a rich novel with so many meaty talking points! Brava!

I find it strange that no one addresses the FACT that during the time period when Europeans were committing Genocide on the North American Continent upon Indigenous peoples, no one knows what to call the Europeans. Across the board we call them “whites” which is to create a disconnect from our OWN ancestral lineages as Europeans who came to North America and committed Genocide. They weren’t Americans and they weren’t Europeans but they were effectively “whites”. That’s systemic racism at its most functional.

Fake info

Thank you! Fantastic speaker

Great talk about the inimitable Place.

I really appreciated this fine talk about Joan Didion’s work, delivered with warmth and …something else. Thanks

I loved Billy Graham, as I love all people, or in my worst moments I should. But, deep in Billy's Bible-thumping mind, he was an anti-intellectual country boy. He appealed to small-town America. Fine, salt of the earth people. But in my 75 years, a whole lot of salt of the earth people got mean and nasty if they could get you alone, out of your element. I never should have given in to the arm-twisting and bullying of my parents, brother, other relations, or so-called friends, about my bookishness. I'm not exactly a coward but I could have stood up to them more. I have hardly any friends, and to risk rejection even more by my fellow intellectuals (I do not consider myself very intelligent.) I will end with this - I voted for Trump but consider myself a Monarchist. I am not at home in the United States, and no, I'm not leaving. And something even my fellow intellectuals will look askance at - I became a Traditionalist Catholic. I apologize to no one.

This is such a great lecture! Thank you

This was a very helpful lecture. Thanks!

Completely Incorrect lecture. Being a hindu I can say that the professor gets it completely wrong in every sense.

Love your lectures sir.

17:30 yes!

Fascinating and fun presentation! Leaves me wanting more.

I wish I could watch all the lectures and pod casts I like as voice over narration with much more full scream of the chosen images. The answers are in the ART not so much the words that follow

Holy moly can this person be any more excited

I planned on falling asleep not staying awake till 230 but here i am. I really appreciate the sincererity and respect that first got my attention and in the end love the dedication and commitment to learning . Cante kin ogna ma wani yelo , wopila tanka mitakuye oyasin I think the thing I felt the most was black elk speaks being the doorway or gate that opened . Huge respect and interest to learn more myself and for so many. We are not alone. These ways are alive.

Yes, our sexuality is very weird 🤣🤣🤣

❤️

Thank you A part from very small errors in history, not being a scholar of Islam as you said, this is one of the best presentations, I have listened to, since long time.

no hindu story is contradictoty to each other ,come to india and read our non western books

is that a buddhist alter on the wall?

Incredible ❤️🙏🏼

It’s very scary that you think Hilary was the right choice.

I stumbled upon Black Elks Speaks at the Luguna Beach Library in the 70’s. I was so deeply impressed with it. The book changed my life. 💛

Very well done!

Another thing too is, when cats my age ask what tribe I am, (a point of contention for me because I usually retort, what is your ancestry? Scandinavian? Swedish? Deutsche? Italian? Irish? Etc, and they never know). Anyway, I say I'm Blackfoot, Amskapii Piikuni, The Real People, and I'm met with oh, that's cool. This is my Gen. But when old white people ask, I tell them, they get a look of disgust and hate. I spit a few lines, kitkitamahtsinopowa, amd I absolutely love it, because they know amd get upset, I had one old lady actually say, "No! That's not true!" Hahaha

I was just thinking, "who's air is this?" "It's nobody's." "So you're saying is, it's mine." Ha! I was watching Shang-Chi with my boy and noticed so many symbols and memes in the flick I was just stunned. There's a part where there's this monster that beckons strong people to set it free by offering up a false fantasy of what that string person wants, so it can use them to get free. The monster was dragon, an americanized dragon with wings and equipped with soul suckers that all the people were defenseless against, except by using the monsters own weapons against it, the dragon scale, is how they protected themselves. Eventually, the tribe won with their Asian dragon, no wings, fluid, able to live in water, land and air and protects its people. What I saw was a war between cultures and the defeat of American society. The americanized dragon was a symbol of America and the soul sucking of unreal people, only to be defeated when the Asian culture came together and used America's soul sucking tactics against itself along with the backbone of the asiatic cultures. Then I thought, do we have a dragon or anything similar? Well, we see the world in space and place and in secular fashion, so idk, but it would be nice to see hollywood make a flick about Real People overcoming the unreal ones via making them honor their treaties, or atleast pay us back rent and for our resources that were stolen. They supposed to give it back if it's stolen. 10 fold! I am man out of place, stripped of his traditions and language, expected to make brilliant moves in a foreign world I was never a part of.

You are totally missing the narrative of Black Elk's intention concerning the spiritual message he wishes to convey and make it available to the public. Stop and think for a second, Why is it Blk Elk would rather have a non-Indian record and rewrite his message? The bottom line to the whole episode is what is the implication? I can not speak for Christianity, or the Bible either, but what I can say as an American Indian raised by parents who are spiritually inclined and able to distinguish between spirituality and Christianity. Both are of the same essence. During those days in history, Blk. Elk surely must have known that Christianity wasn't being shared accurately or truthfully with him and his people. I am also positive and sure he knew his people are not going to be able to carry it on...

At a glance it looks like the altered headbust of king richard . Visibly see where the statue was chopped at removing the nose and chin

RIP, brilliant aloof dear.

RIP Joan…. Back w your family🙏

Thank you for confirming that Blavatsky received her inspiration from Lucifer. Such Blasphemy. Repent all you Heiden sun worshipper the hour is coming to an end very soon.

Yes

You explain very well. Mari Jo Moore and I dedicated a book to Vine: Unravelling the Spreading Cloth of Time

The wonderful thing is, for all the derision she feels, as I do too, having grown up in New York and lived in LA 22 years before I left, for all the derision I now read her LA work as my form of nostalgia

Wonderful information, THANK YOU SO MUCH, for this beautiful explanation.🙂

I just love this guy. I am listening to him every day lately and it always rings so true. Thank you Mr. Horowitz and thank you for bringing ethics into it. The eightfold noble path is entirely true and as long as we act from that place, we’re good.

Maybe your kids thought that Vernon should leave people alone? Just joking but he did not seem to be following his own advice, yelling like that at everyone. I think I’ll satisfy my curiosity just enjoying you telling us about it Mitch. Thank you 💛☺️

Love allowing guest to speak thank you!

An interesting issue here is the relationship to Krishnamurti, Leadbeater and Besant

Love the Black Lodge Zoom background! What a rich discussion. Thanks for uploading.

The death of the maids is even more tragic when you realize they were raped by the suitors and conspired with Penelope as her spies.
