FROM ROSKIND Date: Thu, 19 May 2005 15:46:28 -0400 From: ROBERT ROSKIND Greetings, our brothers, Our next email update is ready and here is a synopsis for the newsletter: ROSKINDS: THE BEAUTY PATH: A JOURNEY INTO ONE LOVE The next chapter of the Roskinds next book is available free on line. CHAPTER 1 (Medicine Carrier) Worm said that those awakening ones would seek out those of our people still connected to the Great Circle of Life and still in touch with Grandmother Earth and Grandfather Sky. So our future generations must be prepared to help all people when the new dawn begins to brighten - American Indian Prophecies by Kurt Kaltreider The following article appeared in the Columbia University newspaper shortly after the Indonesian Tsunami killed over 300,000 people: The most compelling example of indigenous wisdom happened during the tsunami that devastated coastal areas in Southeast Asia on Dec. 26. Onges, Jarawas, Sentinalese and Great Andamanese tribes living on the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal, which was closest to the earthquake that caused the tsunami, survived unscathed and saved their worldly possessions from devastation. Their secret: They recognized telltale signs and set up camp on higher ground in time to avoid the killer waves. These tribes live close to nature and are known to heed biological warning signs like changes in the cries of birds and the behavior patterns of land and marine animals, said V. Raghavendra Rao, director of the Anthropological Survey of India in Calcutta. It was also reported that their ancestors and legends told them that when the ocean recedes quickly, head to higher ground. This book is devoted to another group of indigenous people -- Native Americans, to whom much respect is due. Like their counterparts in Indonesia, their wisdom, knowledge and prophecies can help us avoid not only physical threats but environmental, mental, emotional and spiritual threats as well. Our previous two books, "Rasta Heart:A Journey into One Love" and "The Gathering of the Healers:The Healing of the Nations," chronicled our journey through Jamaica seeking the wisdom of Bob Marley, reggae music and the Rastafarians. This book continues our search for other repositories of One Love, these rare veins of spiritual gems. It records our travels through several Native American tribes bringing forward their wisdom, both past and present. Through our travels, you will learn about an ancient Native American confederacy that was the model used by the founding fathers to design American Democracy. You will visit a tribe that has 900 year-old prophecies on sacred tablets that has accurately predicted many of the main events of the last 200 years and that provides us vital instructions for healing of our planet. You will visit a small tribe whose reservation is only accessible by horseback or foot, where everyone still speaks their native tongue and where there was no electricity, television or money until recently. We will visit the most sacred place in the Northern Hemisphere to ancient tribes -- a valley where all tribes gathered in peace and harmony.
