"Apocalyptic propaganda is the basis of western religion. It's a control mechanism by instilling fear. You instill the fear so people won't think clearly. Everything is there to disrupt the creative intelligence so it doesn't flow with clarity and coherence. So fearing the apocalyptic is just a mining tool they've been using since they came up with the concept of the male dominator god. But what I will say about this thing they call the Mayan calendar is it ends in 2012 because they ran out of stone. Look at it, there was no more room. Basically all the apocalyptic stuff is based on Christian interpretation of reality. Of course, apocalyptic propaganda is used to keep people off balance, to keep them from thinking clearly. It's a mining tool. " JohnTrudell

"For decades my identity was political, but I've come to understand that there's no political solution when you're dealing with someone else's rules... All politics to me – Indian or white – is an illusion preventing us from being authentic because we're communicating through something that isn't real to us." -John Trudell 15 Feb 1946 - 8 Dec 2015

the change in reality when the virus got in...it became about submission rather than responsibility

what happened to the tribes of europe

The tribes of Europe were conquered way before the indigenous people of the Americas but it was essentially the same process; the bringing of a disease which changed people’s perceptual reality.  The people became owned and lost their sense of humanness.  John Trudell also covers the Inquisition in this talk. For a long while descendants of the European tribes were owned just physically but over time this ownership went deeper.  Then the virus was taken to other parts of the globe. We're in the right place at the right time to use our intelligence to influence things for the better.

Something I love about John Trudell is that his viewpoint is so un-racist.  Rather than label the white skinned people as oppressors, he sees that they were oppressed long before the others, and this accounts for a lot.  It's part of our ancestral background that we, all of us, would be wise to look into.

protect your spirit

they have entered the reality of the already dead”
"protect your spirit because you're in the place where spirits get eaten"
and a very perceptive and subtle point about 'drunken indians' which I think is highly applicable in modern society regarding addiction.. They couldn't participate in the system that was imposed on them while their natural lifestyle was ripped from them.  The growing addiction problem may turn out to be a major impetus for change.
"without them we wouldn't be here today"

cowboys and indians

 a man, a woman,
 a sort of love
 she was a beautiful woman
 but he did a lot of ugly things to turn her world around
 in his own way he loved her too
 trying to be his own man
 conquer the world when he couldn’t
 she became his last stand
 he was cowboys she was indians

take back the earth

"they have put us out of balance so that we know longer have the power to deal with them they have separated us from our spiritual connexion with the earth. we are energy, we need to evaluate how we use our own energy..we are alternative energy, never give up hope, we live in a natural world, the earth is power, America attacked flower power children with drugs, we are power, we are spirit, we are the people, we must pick our way of life and stick to it "

we are people

John Trudell talks about the label Native American and that they and we are all people. We were all here before there were any countries. Modern Americans are descendent of tribes too, it’s in the genetic memory. We are all the descendants of tribes, they were just destroyed in Europe earlier in history.  A thought provoking talk from the heart

i have no country

The Earth is my home.

In this powerful lecture, John Trudell describes how our perception of reality has been distorted by imprinting and programming,  We perceive ourselves in terms of inabilities which leads to doubts fears and insecurities, fuel for the machine.  Reality is our power, our personal power.  We cannot think and believe at the same time.  We need to think for ourselves and question everything,
