Crazy Horse,
we hear what you say
One Earth
One Mother
One does not sell the Earth
the people walk upon
We are the land
How do we sell our Mother?
How do we sell the stars?
How do we sell the air?
Crazy Horse,
we hear what you say

Too many people
Standing their ground
Standing the wrong ground
Predator’s face
He possessed a race
Possession,
a war that doesn’t end
Children of God
feed on children of Earth

Days
People don’t care for people
These days are the hardest
Material fields
Material harvest
Decoration on chain that binds
Mirrors gold
The people lose their minds
Crazy Horse,
we hear what you say

One Earth
One Mother
One does not sell the Earth
the people walk upon
We are the land

Witness of Another World: Interview with Filmmaker Alan Stivelman

In 1978, a young Argentinian gaucho, Juan Perez, had an extraordinary encounter with what seemed to be an otherworldly intelligence. It affected him deeply and changed the course of his life. Filmmaker Alan Stivelman created a unique documentary about the experience and found Juan living a solitary life and still troubled by his encounter. The film explores what happened to Juan and his remarkable journey of rediscovering this experience and reconnecting with a deeper part of himself to begin a healing process. Legendary researcher Jacques Vallee studied Juan’s case back then and reappears in the documentary to meet with Juan and re-explore the case. In this program, Richard and Alan talk about Juan, Jacques Vallee, and the process of investigating this fascinating contact case.

The film opens on October 22. Website: https://www.witnessofanotherworld.com/

Richard Dolan is one of the world’s leading researchers and writers on the subject of UFOs and believes that they constitute the greatest mystery of our time. He is the author of two volumes of history, UFOs and the National Security State, both ground-breaking works which together provide the most factually complete and accessible narrative of the UFO subject available anywhere. He also co-authored a speculative book about the future, A.D. After Disclosure, the first-ever analysis not only of how UFO secrecy might end, but of the all-important question: what happens next?

April 13, 2019

 

This group of surfers was treated to a stunning sight last week after they were joined by some unlikely companions.

This breathtaking drone footage captures the moment a pod of dolphins cruise into the path of some surfers off the coast of Australia.

The video, which was filmed by Shaun Petersen, shows dozens of the cetaceans gliding through the water on a small ocean wave that carries them, and surfers, past the shore.

Since Petersen posted it to Instagram, it has been viewed thousands of times.

“What a show they did put on!” wrote Petersen.

“One of my favorite video captures to date!”

Sigiriya: Evidence of Ancient Technology in Sri Lanka

Source: Phenomenal Travel Videos
Published on Oct 15, 2018

http://www.phenomenalplace.com

 

Hey guys, today we are going to look at a marvelous place in Sri Lanka, this place is known as Sigiriya.

There is nothing like this anywhere in the world, which is why it is known as the 8th wonder of the world. This is actually a giant monolithic rock, about 660 feet tall, and you can see that it has a flat top, like somebody cut it with a giant knife. There are incredible ruins at the top which are extremely mysterious, so let us go straight to the top and see what’s up there.

As you can see there are a lot of strange brick structures here and there and it is not only confusing for visitors, but even archeologists are not able to make complete sense of what these structures were used for. They confirm that everything you see is at least 1500 years old. But the mystery is not what these structures are, it is how these structures were built.

How did ancient builders manage to move all these bricks to the top of the rock? It is reported that at least 3 million bricks are found here, but it would be impossible to make these bricks on top of the rock, there is not enough clay available here. They would have to have transported these bricks from the ground. Now, the really bizarre part is that there are no ancient stairs from the ground level which go to the top of the rock. Look, all these metal steps were built in the last century. Without these new stairs, it will be very hard to climb this rock.

This whole rock is now set up with different types of stairs, this is the spiral stairs at a different level. The ancient builders built very limited stairs, but these stairs definitely did not reach the top. This is exactly why no one, not even the locals knew about Sigiriya until 200 years ago, because there were no stairs to the top. And this is why an Englishman by the name of Jonathan Forbes “Discovered” the ruins of Sigiriya in 1831.

So how did early human beings get to the top of Sigiriya? Let us assume that it is possible to hike up hill through these very steep, wooded areas. But to bring 3 million bricks from the ground level, you will definitely need proper stairs. Without this, it would be impossible to transport them to the top.

Even if we claim that the bricks were made on top of the rock itself by some miraculous means, The construction work here would have needed hundreds of workers. How did they get their food? Look around, there are no fruit bearing trees or crops growing here, to feed anyone. And what about tools? How did they carry their massive primitive tools? Where did they rest and sleep? But it gets more baffling.

Look carefully, there are not only bricks here, but look at these blocks. This is marble. The milky white marble stones are not native to this area at all. These blocks are actually very heavy, every stone which makes up a step weighs about 50 pounds. And we can find thousands of these marble blocks here. Experts agree that Marble is not naturally found anywhere nearby, so how were they transported up to a height of 660 feet, especially without stairs to climb ? But it is not the bricks or the marble that really baffles me. It is the granite. Look at this large water tank.

If you ignore the bricks and marble blocks around it, you understand that this is the largest monolithic tank in the world. It has not been built by adding stone blocks, it has been created by removing granite, by scooping out tons and tons of granite from Solid Rock. And exactly how many tons of rocks have been removed? This entire tank is 90 feet long and 68 feet wide and is about 7 feet deep. This means that at least 3,500 tons of granite have been removed.

So you can take a minute to really sit back and think if mainstream archeologists are right. If human beings were using primitive tools like chisels, hammers and pick axes on granite, which is one of the hardest rocks in the world, removing 3,500 tons would have taken years. And how did these workers feed themselves during all these years, if they don’t even have stairs to go to the ground level?

There is something fundamentally wrong with mainstream history books which talk about ancient people cutting rocks with chisels and hammers. But this is not just a theory, we have actual evidence in front of our eyes. Look here, we don’t see individual chisel marks, we see long, snake like, winding tool marks which are continuous. This is not how primitive chiseling and wedge marks look.

12 Bar Blues – Piano Duet with Peter the Elephant – Thailand

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjsu3SGAdLs

 

Please read the description for more information about the content of this video.

More videos: “Music for Elephants”

 

Piano Duet

 

Watch Peter the elephant discover/play the clarinet:

http://youtu.be/4iyxUK_e5nU

 

Light-heated musical mayhem when Peter the elephant joins in a 12 bar blues on piano with his trunk — entirely of his own accord.

I’ve noticed elephants, such as Peter have moods at different times of day. Usually in the cooler early evening before nightfall (In Thailand) they are in a more relaxed and potentially playful mood.

Peter the elephant lives at http://www.elephantstay.com Thailand.

Photos playing piano for elephants in Thailand

There are other similar albums on this Goggle+ account.

With reference to recent comments (19/11/2013)

* The “guy” in the background is Pat, Peter’s mahout. He is Thai. A mahout is a person that devotes his or her life to looking after an elephant, usually in Asia. This is a dangerous job.

* Pat is responsible for Peter’s well-being, day and night, all year round. Pat’s daily duties include keeping Peter safe from other bull elephants as well as looking after visitors to Peter’s home at the Royal Elephant Kraal in Ayutthaya, Thailand.

* Pat and Peter have a special bond.

* Pat is not reading a magazine in this video, he is filming with his tablet.

* Pat is not prodding Peter, he is just reminding him not to get too carried away and smash the piano keys with his heavy trunk as he has, unintentionally, on previous occasions.

* The chain around Peter’s neck is flimsy. It is there so Pat can walk at Peter’s side and guide him occasionally around vehicles or other potentially harmful bull elephants on the way to bath and drink in the river, for instance. Those with experience working with elephants in Thailand know this flimsy chain is no restraint to an elephant whatsoever. It is not there to cause Peter any harm, just the reverse.

* Peter has NOT been trained to play piano. This video is Peter’s spontaneous reaction to a piano during a brief encounter one evening between Peter and Paul Barton, a visiting pianist to the elephant Kraal where Peter lives.

* This video is one of a series in “Music for Elephants”. There are 23 videos with piano and elephants in this playlist

 

 

* Piano keys are no longer made of ivory. The piano in this video has plastic keys. All piano keys are made from synthetic polymers and plastics. The use of ivory for piano keys decreased dramatically after World War II and thankfully stopped altogether in 1989 with the CITIES worldwide ban on ivory trade.

 



Tell Your Fucking Truth

Tell Your Fucking Truth

by Jeff Foster

 



Video by Snordster
Published on Jun 12, 2018

 

I have seen miracles happen, when people just tell the truth.

Not the ‘nice’ truth.

Not the truth that seeks to please or comfort.

But the wild truth.

The feral truth.

The inconvenient truth.

The tantric truth.

The ‘fucking’ truth.

The truth you’re afraid to tell.

The horrible truth about yourself that you hide in order to ‘protect’ others.

To avoid being ‘too much’.

To avoid being shamed and rejected.

To avoid being seen.

The truth of your deepest feelings:

The rage you have been concealing, controlling, pasting over.

The terrors you do not want to speak.

The sexual urges you’ve been trying to numb.

The primal longings you cannot bear to articulate.

Finally, the defenses break down, and this ‘unsafe’ material emerges from deep within the unconscious.

You can’t hold it back anymore.

The image of the ‘good boy’ or ‘nice girl’ evaporates.

The ‘perfect one’, the ‘one who has it all figured out’, the ‘evolved one’, these images burn.

You tremble, you sweat, you come close to vomiting, you think you might die doing it, but finally you tell the fucking truth, the truth you are deeply ashamed of.

Not the abstract truth.

Not the ‘spiritual’ truth.

Not a carefully-worded truth designed to prevent offence.

Not a neatly-packaged truth.

But a messy, fiery, sloppy human truth.

A bloody, passionate, provocative, sensual, untamed and unvarnished mortal truth.

A shaky, sticky, sweaty, vulnerable truth.

The truth of how you feel.

The truth that lets another person see you in the raw.

The truth that makes one gasp.

The truth that makes your heart pound.

This is the truth that will set you free.

I have seen chronic depressions and life-long anxieties lift overnight.

I have seen deeply embedded traumas evaporate.

I have seen fibromyalgia, life-long migraines, chronic fatigue, unbearable back pain, bodily tension, stomach disorders, vanish, never to return.

Of course, the ‘side-effects’ of truth aren’t always this dramatic.

And we don’t step into our truth with a result in mind.

But think of the massive amounts of energy it must take to repress our animal wildness, numb our feral nature, suppress our rage, tears and terror, uphold a false image, and pretend to be ‘okay’.

Think of all the tension we hold in the body, and the damage it does to our immune systems, when we live in fear of ‘coming out’.

Take the risk of telling your truth.

The truth you are afraid to tell.

The truth you fear will make the world run.
Find a safe person – a friend, a therapist, a counselor, yourself – and let them in.

Let them hold you as you break down.

Let them love on you as you weep, rage, quake with fear, and generally make a mess.

Tell your fucking truth to someone – it might just save your life, heal you from deep within, and connect you to humanity in ways you never imagined.

Don’t Dream It’s Over

Don’t Dream It’s Over

by Neil Finn
Published on Nov 24, 2015



There is freedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There’s a battle ahead
Many battles are lost
But you’ll never see the end of the road while you’re traveling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don’t dream it’s over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know that they won’t win

Now I’m towing my car
There’s a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion, but there’s no proof
In the paper today
Tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page

Hey now, hey now
Don’t dream it’s over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know that they won’t win

Now I’m walking again
To the beat of a drum
And I’m counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead
Barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

Hey now, hey now
Don’t dream it’s over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
You know that they won’t win

Don’t let them win
(Hey now, hey now)

Hey now, hey now

Hey now, hey now
Don’t let them win

(They come, they come)
Don’t let them win

(Hey now, hey now) yeah

Love’s Song of Freedom | What You Gonna Do About Me

Love’s Song of Freedom & What You’re Gonna Do About Me

by Terry Callier

 



 


Love Theme from Spartacus

 

Can it be? Do you hear?
A new freedom song is ringing
No more dark, no more fear
There’s a new day that it’s bringing
Something simple is the key
Only love will set us free
It’s so far, it’s so near
Almost close, almost here

 


What About Me?

 

What you gonna do about me?

Oh, what you gonna do about me

Oh, what you gonna do about me

You poisoned our sweet water

And you chopped down our green trees.

The food they sell to children

Is the cause of their disease.

My world is slowly meltin’ down

And the air’s not fit to breathe

Those of us who care enough

Are strugglin’ to be free.

Oh, what you gonna do about me

Oh, what you gonna do about me

Oh,  what you gonna do about me

Oh, what you gonna do about me

I work inside your factories

I struggle in your schools

I fill your penitentiaries

And your military too

I feel the whole world tremblin’

As the world is passed around

If you stand up for what you believe in

Then be prepared to get shot down

Oh, what you gonna do about me

Oh, what you gonna do about me

Oh, what you gonna do about me

Oh, what you gonna do about me

I feel just like a stranger

Blamed for things I’ve never done

I’m livin’ like an outlaw

I’m always on the run

Oh, what you gonna do about me

Oh, what you gonna do about me

Oh, what you gonna do about me

Oh, what you gonna do about me

All Along the Watchtower

All Along the Watchtower
written by Bob Dylan

There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
There’s too much confusion
I can’t get no relief

Business men, they drink my wine
Plowman dig my earth
None were level on the mind
Nobody up at his word
Hey, hey

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But, uh, but you and I, we’ve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talkin’ falsely now
The hour’s getting late, hey

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl

People Get Ready

Performed by Eva Cassidy



People get ready
There’s a train a comin’
You don’t need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels hummin’
You don’t need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
So people get ready
There’a a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
Coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There’s hope for all
Among those loved the most
There ain’t no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those whose
Chances grow thinner
There’s no hiding place
Against the Kingdom’s throne
So people get ready
There’s a train a comin’
You don’t need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels hummin’
Don’t need no ticket
You just thank the Lord

The Dying Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor

Waking Times

by  Dylan Charles
February 12, 2018

 

The Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor is a story about the unification of the indigenous peoples of North America with those of South America. The Eagle of the north is said to represent masculine energy, as well as the energy of technological advancement and the focus of the mind. While the Condor of the south represents feminine energies and our connection to the earth and our own nature, along with the softness of the heart.

Of Incan origin, the prophecy has been told in many cultures, and points to the present day when after a long period of separation and dominance by the masculine, the two will again unite, bringing balance and harmony to our aching world.

The unification would heal old wounds and temper the destructive and dominating characteristics of modern society precisely at a time when all seems lost.

Here, author and former economic hitman John Perkins describes this prophecy.

 

In the following video, indigenous leaders and elders from both continents speak about the meaning of this prophecy and what it holds for our future.

“For us, us indigenous, there is no coincidence for us. Everything has a purpose. Bringing together people, uniting hearts, uniting the love, embracing the love of humanity, of our sacred mother earth, the universe, the light that shines on us everyday. What we call in our language the time of Pachacuti, the time of transformation.” [Source]

Indeed it is a time of transformation, and we can see how the cultures of North and South America are coming together in order to transform, largely to share sacred plant medicines and to work together to create alliances to conserve and protect mother earth, and to resist the domination of the corporate state.

The hour is late, however, and in the back pages of the news a pair of recent stories offer a warning that this prophecy is in danger of being plowed under by the unchecked powers of the corporatocracy.

In Argentina, activists recently issued a call for help to save the condor, which is at present being wiped out by the poisons introduced into the environment by the agrochemical industry.

Recently, thirty-four condors in Mendoza, Argentina were found dead, the result of chemical poisoning. Fundación Bioandina Argentina warns that this happening in many parts of the country.

READ: HOW MONSANTO DESTROYED RURAL ARGENTINA

Argentina is being poisoned on a massive scale by the carless overuse of Monsanto’s deadly herbicide glyphosate. The poisoning is affecting the health of people, causing shocking deformations and crippling illnesses, yet the industry presses onward, continuing to market and sell these chemicals as a safe way to boost agricultural production.

At the same time, conservationists in North America are asking for help to save the American bald eagle, who is at present suffering a similar fate. Eagles are being brought into rescue centers, some barely able to lift their heads, as their environment has become so toxic, poisoned by lead, DDT, and modern agrochemicals.

The heart-breaking significance of these die-offs is felt in the context of the Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor. Our chances at reunification and global transformation are being killed off by the forces of greed and domination. This prophecy of hope is being stolen from us.

Support the movement to save South American condors by signing this petition. And support efforts to help the bald eagle by supporting The Indigenous American.

Salif Diarra Band: Music from “The Land of Honest Men”

Source: Playing For Change
Published on Jan 5, 2018

Mark Twain once said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”

With this inspiration, we invite you to take a musical trip with us to the land of Burkina Faso in West Africa. This country’s name translates to “Land of honest men” and I have never been more inspired by any place in my life.

Some of the world’s poorest people are also among the happiest and we can all learn from this reality.

This year let’s all take better care of each other as a human race and let the music open our minds and our hearts.

Check out this song titled, “Djigui” meaning “hope,” written and performed by Salif Diarra along with Massa Dembelé, Noumassan Dembelé, and Soumana Coulibaly.

Turn it up and together we can change the world one heart and one song at a time.

Featured Musicians:

Salif Diarra: kamale ngoni

Massa Dembelé: kora

Noumassan Dembelé: balafon

Soumana Coulibaly: drums and calabash



Low Down Dirty Christmas

Published Nov 30, 2013

We are happy to share this new Holiday video, “Low Down Dirty Christmas”, featuring the Playing For Change Band, recorded live outside in Sao Paolo, during a recent tour in Brazil. This song, composed by our friend Tom Canning, takes us back to our roots of the Blues and Soul music with feeling. Playing For Change is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music.



Don’t Save It All for Christmas

One Voice Children’s Choir, under the direction of Masa Fukuda, covers “Don’t Save It All for Christmas.” Words and Music by Peter Zizzo, Rio Wake and Celine Dion. One Voice Children’s Choir is comprised of 140 children ages four through 18 who live in northern Utah along the Wasatch front, and in the Park City and Heber Valley areas. Many of these children join the choir at a very young age and remain throughout their entire childhood, along with their siblings. We lovingly refer to these kids as “lifers” because they have spent most of their life sharing the gift of music not just with the general public, but with chronically ill children, the elderly, the homeless, the needy, and the helpless all year round. The friendships forged in the choir, and the memories made singing with family last a lifetime. The choir children fully embrace the theme of this song by giving their time, sharing their talents, and spreading love and joy, not just at Christmas, but every day in the hope of making a positive difference in the world.

Teach Your Children

This powerful live performance of “Teach Your Children” from Adelaide, Australia, features Tula, Roberto Luti and the PFC Band. Years ago when we started recording Songs Around The World together like “One Love” and “Chanda Mama” we never imagined we would be growing a global movement supporting musicians and music education across the globe, but this is the power of music. Today’s live performance embodies all that we believe in: soulful music with an inspiring message helping us to move forward as a human race, one heart and one song at a time.


Children Will Listen

…

Careful the things you say
Children will listen
Careful the things you do
Children will see and learn
Children may not obey, but children will listen
Children will look to you for which way to turn

…

Careful the spell you cast
Not just on children
Sometimes a spell may last
Past what you can see
And turn against you
Careful the tale you tell
That is the spell
Children will listen

…

Careful what you say
Children will listen
Careful you do them too
Children will see
And learn
Guide them, but step away

Compassionate Water (The Great Bell Chant)

Compassionate Water (The Great Bell Chant)

 

The Great Bell Chant
by Thich Nhat Hanh

 

May the sound of this bell penetrate deep into the cosmos
Even in the darkest spots living beings are able to hear it clearly
So that all suffering in them ceases
Understanding comes to their heart
And they transcend the path of sorrow and death.
..
The universal dharma door is already open
The sound of the rising tide is heard clearly
The miracle happens: a beautiful child appears in the heart of a lotus flower
One single drop of this compassionate water is enough
To bring back the refreshing spring to our mountains and rivers.
..
Listening to the bell I feel the afflictions in me begin to dissolve
My mind calm, my body relaxed
A smile is born on my lips
Following the sound of the bell
My breath brings me back to the safe island of mindfulness
In the garden of my heart, the flowers of peace bloom beautifully.
One hour version for meditation:
