Dark Mystery, Sacred Sound

"Kim Kardashian's pregnancy is beautiful, breathtaking and as astonishing in black as any other woman overcome with the wonder of spiritual powers unleashed by new life in her body. No man can become a woman and have a woman's essence."

Man is the potential of Life, woman the carrier of Life.

If this is true we come from the rivers of life meaning the waters we are borne from that carried us from our mother's womb to the waiting realm of our father's protection and parent's union is more than an ideal, it is a state of being! If we cannot respect this element fundamental to life and succumb to the notions of reality Euro-Americans and Europeans base their life structures upon from their brokenness who are we as a people of the other races upon the Earth, our Mother?

European domination is destruction and in the aftermath of the wars that determined our fates we are carriers and inheritors of brokenness that is evil, scared and difficult to exorcise from our essential cores. Accepting from the brokenness of the people from across the Atlantic is to misunderstand the significance of a subtle, rarely pointed out element.

Water has great powers to absorb dark elements unleashing transformative powers back into a body, a soul, a state of mind as a return. It is a cycle of reciprocation we first learn within our mother's wombs. As a ritual practice transformation is a natural occurrence of relationships with Water. Respecting Water's powers acknowledges the female principles that carry life from one place of land to another, from one state of being to another. Instead of this happening in the long ago, the whites were blind to this influence and crossed the waters with darkness and great evils abiding within their hearts and changed the world in the worst of ways known to a species. What came out of this was a spiritual paradigm previously unknown to life that killed its grandchildren to feed its children!

There is no concealing from Water. She sees everything, every element and every intent. How and why Water could not transform the darkness of the whites is an explored mysterious thing that has not transformed mankind or the white people. How it affected the whole of the planet is at its inevitable conclusion: the water wars of our generation. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9.26.16

Descendants of the Inka today live in Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and Colombia. Many maintain Inka traditions in their languages, arts, celebrations and religion. Throughout the Andes, the spiritual world continues to pervade daily life, and rituals are performed to ask for blessing, protection and healing.

These panpipes, similar to those from Inka times, are still used in ceremonies and on long journeys. Learn more at NMAI's "The Great Inka Road: Engineering an Empire" or here: http://nmai.si.edu/inkaroad/index.html
