David was compelled to dig deeper into his own efforts towards Playing the Legacy Forward after watching Pearl Means’ heartbreaking talk about her time of mourning for Brave Eagle (Wanbli Ohitika in Lakota language) – aka Russell Means was a name given to him by Colonizers.
This brought David to Russell’s final gift to a “colonized” us-apart … his final book – If you’ve Forgotten the Names of the [52] Clouds, You’ve Lost yOUR Way.
It’s apparent now, that my own Crying Vision Ceremony, as referenced in his book, beginning in late Nov 2017, was a continuation of Brave Eagle’s vision, although at the time I didn’t know what I was requesting and doing, was so sacred. My innocent prayer, was affirmed in the most direct, undebatable way, which I share across my Storyline here.
I have come to realize that I found brotherhood in a man 30 years my senior, whom I never met in person and didn’t discover until 2020 (I’m embarrassed and frustrated, to admit). It begs the consideration, that we may have actually crossed our storylines in a Shared Consciousness, perhaps with the goal of some-one continuing on his life mission and heartfelt hopes for humanity and Grandmother (Earth). He died in 2012 around the time I began to question my conformity to a “professional reality” that never fit what my heart understood, from a place deep in my ancestral DNA, a partial motivation for my logo / branding.
Non Linear, out of “sync” with the false convention of Time, my own Eagle vision began as [day/night] dreams where I as the proud Bald Eagle, soaring effortlessly in the Sky, watched manUnkind hurting Creation [The SELF] over many years, trees replaced with tall buildings, mountains replaced with garbage heaps and no place to land and no sustenance to grasp, power lines replaced with tall alien radio towers (wifi). I had these vivid repeating dreams from age 5 to ~10 yrs of age. My parents may have thought me goofy for wanting to BE an eagle so bad, which would have been a Conditioned Adult misinterpretation. ; )
When I prayed for affirmations of my true identity, the Steam Shower affirmations couldn’t have been more direct and clear.
Just a few days before my 49th birth-Day in 2020, I discovered Russell Mean’s stellar interview while undergoing Chemotherapy for his esophageal cancer (what my own mother died from).
“The Patriarch is a Cancer to Grandmother Earth, and will kill its Self because it lacks reference to the Whole”. Yes! This is what I have observed and discussed emphatically with people, since age 6.
David’s view of the Great Mystery, since age 5, is that Bodymind is The Pathway towards feeling, experiencing directly through Othering, and thus realizing a Shared Knowing in physical reunion with all of Life. The specific Christian utterance he heard from break-away Christians his entire life, was Pointing the reader’s Attention towards the 5th world Indigenous Knowing. That’s [all] You … getting lost! Go with it! Or, is it time to reduce the extremes of contrast that help us all to Exist and Know?
The utterance that few paid Attention to: “God is all Powerful, everywhere Present, and thus all Knowing and all Loving.” … and HE / SHE / IT / THEY / THEM / ALL THAT is part OF and literally, THE creator.
ThatsYou.org was officially re born
Brother Wanbli Ohitika’s affirmations across his many interviews, Reminding interviewers in his own way, that indigenous people KNEW everything was connected, AS THE creator, and embraced, nurtured, and appreciated all they received from the Earth. This was the ultimate aligning affirmation from The Great Mystery. David has nothing left to seek at this point.
