Ghost Dance

[peopleofthecircle]

Keep the culture alive, with or with out Christianity.

[peopleofthecircle]

In Mexico, instead of pushing us aside, or doing genocide on us, they put to work as serfs!

Atrocities from Alaska to tierra de feugo, to pacific islands to Asia.

@catlady1002.

Actually like the song says, "Crazy Horse was a mystic. He knew the secret of the trance."

What that means in his 'trance state', he (Crazy Horse), 'danced his up to great spirit' while in his 'trans state'. The true 'ledgend is, a

he conversed with God....

That is what the "Ghost Dance" is about, union with God.

I am fighting back the tears in the library as I watch this.

[peyjland]

This was a very emotional video for me to make, thank you Jazzgriot.

Peace And Love To You

[tydees]

Why do you put images of Jesus in the video? That really has nothing to do with aboriginal beliefs.

[peyjland]

tydees........

The video is meant to promote spiritual love, all spiritual love....the path is for the individual to choose. True spiritual love cannot be segregated, or determined by any specific faith. Peace, Love, and Light to you.

[AtomicPhill]

i dont agree with you there. you shouldve put the prophet muhammed he is spiritual, or buddha there spiritual. you put that there for a reason, and like tydess said. he has nothing to do with aboriginal beliefs. religion is differ from spirtual beliefs. oh and put adolf hitler also hes spiritual.

[peyjland]

At the time we used the images from the art cards we had available.

It's not anti- Christ. Native Americans new God as the ''great spirit''. They knew him in their own way. They said this dance was given to them from Jesus, as he visted them.

[ethnikhart]

Respect !

[peyjland]

Such kind words ethnikhart.....peace, love and gratitude to you my friend.......;)

[Pseudonym7]

got to say this... i think the song IS anti-christianity, cause it is about the true religion of the first nations... i believe in jesus, but not in the churches around him... they are build with blood, fear and weapons... the only trues in religion is: there is only one god/great spirit in this universe, and he is without ending/barrieres! He is the nature around us... and he don't want us to be frightend! he want us to be lovley and happy... and to live in peace with all his creationes...

[peyjland]

Your comment is appreciated Pseudonym7.

Peace, Love And Light To You,

Peyj

[WickednUK]

THE POINT IS THAT THE BRITISH / EUROPEAN CHRISTIANS WERE HYPOCRITICAL.

THEY MISSED THE POINT OF CHRISTIANITY BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO BLINDED BY THEIR OWN SELF ITNERESTS. Other nationalities often make better examples of Christians. It's not God's fault, it's peoples.

[mysticspiritman]

great video and music.

[peyjland]

Thank you so much for your kind words....so glad you liked it mysticspiritman!

Peace, Love And Light To You,

Peyj

[MornStars]

Love the song...it is absolutely Beautiful!

This is not anti-Christ.

The "real" Christ, is the very God this people speak of. God who IS Love.

When white man come, they preached Christ ...

yet many butchered even innocent and helpless old men, women, children, and babies... while claiming Christianity. Neither would I care to worship "their god," ... if they, in anyway, represented him.

Thank you peyjland, so much for the wonderful video and song. It touches my very soul.

[peyjland]

Thank you MornStars.....God is love, love is always the way, however we can find to serve each other in love, is the way. So glad to have given you a possitive feeling.

Much Peace, Love & Light to you.

For those who say this song is anti christ. I have to ask, who were the ones that committed the genocide against the native americans. Who were the ones that shoved their belief system into the throat of native americans. Who were the ones that burned their bodies and fed their children to the dogs. Who were the ones that tortured the native americans and are still doing the same but with diffrerent means. The message to all of us is that treat people with respect and honor. NN

[peyjland]

Thank You for your comment 2006hr, it is truly appreciated. Have a peaceful 2008.

[Jaragua]

So is this video anti-Christianity Peyjland?

[peyjland]

Jaraqua....As I said, The video is meant to promote spiritual love, all spiritual love....the path is for the individual to choose. True spiritual love cannot be segregated, or determined by any specific faith. Peace, Love, and Light to you.

[gdaholic]

Awesome comment on the ignorant person. When will people learn about the REAL AMERICAN culture, and the truths about it.

[peyjland]

Thank You gdaholic for your comment, peace to you....Peyj

[Jaragua]

It's not an ignorant question. When you hear the words in the song, it sounds very anti-Christianity, almost like the pictures do not fit the words. In fact, the ghost dance was an indigenous dance, not Christian or white dance.

[Jaragua]

It was anti-colonization, anti-oppression, and anti-assimilation dance. If anyone does not agree with what the dance stood for, then you are doing an injustice to those who did and died doing the dance. Truthfully, I also believe that each person has their own path, and there can't be one religion for all. There should be acceptance amongst different religions. Theretofore, I don't condone anyone for believe in any religion that is peaceful.

[poder80]

you think it should be?

[poder80]

(Jaruga)Is this video anti-christianity??? Wouldent blame nobody if it was, see what christianity has done, and study there god, his not very kind, violent and sort of evil. Read all part of the bible and not only what most read and you will se I am right

[peyjland]

Thank you poder80 for taking your time to comment.

Peace Love & Light to you.

[caitylady1002]

the ghost dance was about going back to the way America was before the colonists and the enslavement and killing of indigenous peoples, so because christianity was brought by the colonists, it would be about going back to the ways before christianity in America.

[tglola]

Hey peyland, BOGUS, I see you turned the song to promote christianity, not cool "I'm not believeing in your god, or some world down below" you dont stand a change against my prayers, you stand a chance against my Native spiritual Love....

[peyjland]

tgola....sorry you see it that way. The video is meant to promote spiritual love, all spiritual love....the path is for the individual to choose. True spiritual love cannot be segregated, or determined by any specific faith. Peace, Love, and Light to you.

Peyj

[eaglewings3]

our ancestors prayed to the same God as christains do. God is Good! Religion is what MAN....THINKS is of God. Do you know that the prayers they prayed from the Ghost Dance is starting to come to past. We as Natives are rising and the revolution will be Natives and Gods answer to the prayers of the Ghost Dancers. You may not see it now but wait, it will come to past. Gods love is unconditional. Dispite all the hate towards us. WE over come hate with Love

[ladychoctaw]

This is a wonderful song and video. The message of this song is so meaningful. No one stands a chance against our prayers or against our love! Native Pride Forever!

[peyjland]

Thank You ladychoctaw for your kind words.

Blessings To You,

Peyj
