Amazon Shamans on ET Greys (Ant People)

 
Drone ant people
Grey aliens -- also referred to as Roswell Greys, Zeta Reticulans, or simply as Greys [a] or Grays -- are a species of extraterrestrial beings on (and in) earth. [They are the ant people.]

They are frequently featured in claims of close encounters and forced alien abductions.
 
Greys are typically described as having small humanoid bodies, smooth, grey skin, disproportionately large limbs, hairless heads, and large, black, almond-shaped eyes like goggles or sunglasses.


The famous 1961 Barney and Betty Hill abduction in the American desert was key to the popularization of Grey aliens [1, 2] as was Whitley Strieber's bestselling classic Communion: A True Story.
  • Communion (W. Strieber)
    The true story in Whitley Strieber's Communion is an iconic classic. Strieber describes his firsthand 1985 close encounter experiences. This book fundamentally changed the way Americans understand close encounters and alien abductions. The message of Communion, that something is really happening to people but that attempts to study, understand it, or even talk about it remain stifled by the powers that be. The book was first published in 1987. Strieber's riveting account of what he himself experienced, along with his relentless and expert pursuit of the reality behind the experience, is to this day the greatest such account ever published. It is a classic and powerful introduction that explores abductions as they stand today—and it's even more provocative as officials begin to admit that UFOs and ET visitors are real. More
Come spend the catastrophe with us in our caves
Precursor figures have been described in science fiction and similar descriptions appeared in later accounts of the 1947 Roswell UFO incident and early accounts of the 1948 Aztec UFO incident (the "other Roswell").
The Ant People helped Hopi survive, cavern beings who twice helped during times of crisis
  • Greys would seem to be the underground "Ant People" (Makunwabu or ancient Greek Myrmidons, possibly Buddhist cosmology's Kumbhandas) of the legendary Grand Canyon Native American civilization that was saved from a natural cataclysm on the surface by being taken down into the dwelling place of these humanoid beings and being sheltered there for a long time until it was safe to come up again and repopulate the surface world.
  • A Buddhist kumbhanda is a kind of "dwarf" or "gnome," a short being shaped like a "gourd" but also described as having testicles as large as a pot (kumbha), two etymologies that give them their name. More


Roger (American Dad!
The world's most famous Grey is named "Roger Smith" whose handler (Stan Smith), working for the CIA, liberated him from Area 51.

The Grey alien is cited an archetypal image of an intelligent non-human creature or ET (extraterrestrial) life in general.

It has become an iconic trope in popular -- thanks to Cartman and the very first episode of South Park -- culture in the age of space exploration.

Description and Appearance
We are not alone. Here is a photo of a real ET.
Grey aliens are typically depicted as grey-skinned, diminutive (small being 3 or 4 feet tall) humanoid beings that possess reduced forms of, or completely lack, external human body parts such as noses, ears, and external sex organs [3]. [They may be partly artificial synthetic-organic automatons with AI abilities sometimes seen operating under the direction or power of Tall Whites (Nordic aliens).] Their bodies are usually depicted as... More

Arctic shaman in Amazon for wisdom


(BrightVibes) Why did a Scandinavian Arctic (Sami) shaman from Sápmi (previously called Lapland) go to the Amazon Rainforest to recover lost wisdom [from the Indigenous peoples of the Americas]?

Hiking far from the maddening crowd


Mindful Breathing, Four Elements
Sometimes it's enough. Sometimes one needs to get away, faraway, far from the maddening crowd, Dharma Bums in search of enlightenment. On return to the U.S., it's straight to Dharma Bum Temple in Southern California.

Imagine wandering in ancient India (Buddhist Emperor Ashoka's Great Bharat) in search of peace and a permanent end to ALL further suffering (disappointment, lack of fulfillment, ill, woe, misery).

Wandering like one lost, suddenly one is not lost. One is a wandering ascetic, a shramana (shaman), on a spiritual quest for stillness and wisdom (samadhi and panna). Going about from village to village in search of alms, like a deer that lists where it may, one stumbles on Thimmappana Betta Twin rocks.
  • The ultimate origin of Sanskrit sramana (Buddhist Pali samaṇa) may be the Evenki language word сама̄н (samān) "shaman," possibly via Middle Chinese or Tocharian B; however, the etymology of this word, which is also found in other Tungusic languages, is controversial (see Shamanism § Etymology).
  • A wandering ascetic (Buddhist monastic) has three pursuits: training in the higher virtue, higher thought, and higher insight. One must follow these pursuits keenly, otherwise, it is said, one's presence in the Buddha's Monastic Order (Sangha) will be like that of an ass in a herd of cattle (A.i.229).
  • A samana (or shramana) is a person "who labors, toils, or exerts...for some higher or religious purpose" [1][2], "seeker, or ascetic, one who performs acts of austerity" [3][4][5][6]. The term in early Vedic literature is predominantly used as an epithet for seers (rishis) with reference to śrama associated with ritual exertion.
  • The term in [pre-Hindu] Vedic (and subsequently Hindu) texts does not express non-Vedic connotations found in post-Vedic Buddhist and Jain canonical texts [7].
  • During its later semantic development, the term came to refer to non-Brahmanical ascetic movements parallel to but separate from the old Vedic religion [4][5][8].
  • The śramaṇa tradition includes Buddhism [10], Jainism [9], and others.
  • In this Noble Sangha (attained spiritual community) four kinds of monastic are to be found: stream-enterers (sotāpannas), once-returners (sakadāgāmins), non-returners (anāgāmins), and full-enlightened ones (arahants). These are not to be found among the followers of other dharmas, contrary teachings (Samana Sutta, A.ii.238).
  • The Samana Sutta (A.iv.340) covers the different names by which a Tathāgata ("Wayfarer," the word the Buddha chose in referring to himself) is known.
  • (Descriptions derived from the Buddhist Dictionary of Pali Proper Names, Samana Sutta, by G. P. Malalasekera, Pali Text Society, London edited for Wisdom Quarterly by Dhr. Seven)

(All Trails) It's an easy hike to Thimmappana Betta Twin rocks in Ramanagara, Karnataka, India.

DIRECTIONS

The trail to Thimmappana Betta Twin rocks is only 0.6 miles long with a 91-foot elevation gain. It will take 30 to 60 minutes to arrive. The Twin Rocks near it are one of the popular tourist destinations in Kuttagallu.

Spectacular views make up the landscapes of this location, which are green with a bit of a rocky outcrop. Along with being green, this location is diverse as well and is home to various species of flora and fauna.

The trailhead rests by Bettada Kalyani at Kuttagallu and can be reached via various transportation options, such as taxi, cab, private vehicle, or foot.

TOP SIGHTS
Thimmappana Betta peak, Chakrateertha Pond. Twin Rocks. Expect some pesky mosquitos along the trail. It may even rain. It is not crowded. The best time to go is after summer and before monsoon season. Parking: Free, small lot. More

How shall we meditate when we get there?

Standing in the face of adversity
"Meditators, there are five types of warriors found existing in the world. What are these five?

"There is a warrior who, on seeing a cloud of dust [stirred up by an enemy army], falters, faints, does not steel oneself, cannot engage in battle. This is the first type of warrior found existing in the world. More

Katya grows up: northern nomad kid


(Patrushevs) This is Part 2. How is it northern nomads are self-sufficient in extreme cold, whereas we in the West can hardly stand an overcast day? This is a day in the life of a reindeer-herding family's life as baby Katya grows more and more independent and helpful around the home. The family migrates from place to place in search of the best pasture for its domesticated but wild-looking reindeer herd. Could these be Siberian Eurasian Chukchi (Chukchee people) from Russia from the Bering Sea region in easternmost Siberia (next to westernmost America)? The Chukchi are thought to be the forebears of the Indigenous tribes (called First Nations people in Canada) throughout the Americas.

Indigenous Europeans are white Asians?

Shaman Santa is nice to a deaf Sami girl named "Sami"
Scandinavian shroom shamans were beloved figures.
Rugged Indian Americans Indigenous Scandinavians and their teepees tents, 1900 (wiki)
Sami ("Laplander") life might not be possible without reindeer, just as Indians needed buffalo.

Who invented our European-American version of "Christmas"? Sami shamans in Siberia-Scandinavia-Arctic Circle (North Pole) -- with their reindeer obsession, big red coat and boots, long beard, stocking distribution (used as bags over the fireplace to dry psychoactive Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) mushrooms the shaman distributes to families living in yurts by entering through the "chimney" (open rooftop access where fire smoke is ventilated out by design. And even the reindeer get so high they "fly" by partaking of the magical mushrooms and the urine of the shaman or head reindeer, characteristically licking the snow for more of the molecule. Sounds unbelievable, but it's all true. The mushroom has a symbiotic relationship with pine trees, under which they grow, popping up as red and white wrapped "gifts." So we imitate the ritual by wrapping nice things in red and white, the color of peppermint canes, and placing them under the conifer pines tree we drag in for loved ones to find in the morning. It's like an Easter egg (mushroom vulva) hunt in winter snow with the helper Elves or mechanicals cybernauts speak of seeing and interacting with. It's starting to feel a lot like winter solstice time!

Ho ho ho, says the Shaman, gifts for everyone!

One of the least known ethnic groups of Europe. Who are they?

The Sámi people are the Indigenous people of the northern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula and large parts of the Kola Peninsula. They live in what some used to call "Lapland" in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Russia. There is no reliable information on the population of the Sámi people; they are, however, estimated to number between 50,000-100,000.

Connection between Caucasians and Asians? Genetics of Sami, Ainu, and Siberians
(Masaman) July 23, 2017: Could the Scandinavian Sami, white Japanese Ainu, and other Indigenous Siberian peoples be the missing link between modern East Asian and European populations?

Let's go through the genome, DNA, and haplogroups of many of the various peoples of Northern Asia. The natives of Siberia are a very interesting group to learn about, not very well known by the general public.

Let's touch on the fact that Hungarians, Finns, and Estonians all speak languages that come from outside the borders of Europe. Thoughts on the Sami, Ainu, and the native peoples of Siberia? Comment

Cure for autism: Buddhist🐎shamanism

Oh, Bojack Horseman, you're not for kids. Real living horses can heal children.

Words of Wisdom: Rupert Isaacson on how horses bring us happiness

(Happinez Magazine International) Feb. 7, 2018: In search of healing for his autistic son, Rupert Isaacson traveled to Buddhist Mongolia and the world with that son on horseback. He discovered how horses have a wonderful effect -- not just on people with autism, but on every single one of us.


Healing autistic children with Shamanic Healer Dawn Paul
(Dawn Paul) I work with autistic children all over the world. I am able to connect with them and obtain information from them as well as carry out any necessary healing in order to allow them to be more whole and comfortable in their bodies. I work on them remotely and then email the parents a report of what I did for their child. Visit liberate-online.co.uk for more information and an article on healing for autistic children.

THE HORSE BOY (official US trailer)
(ZeitgeistFilms) Now on DVD from Zeitgeist Video. How far would you travel to heal someone you love?

An intensely personal yet epic spiritual journey, The Horse Boy follows one Texas couple and their autistic son as they trek on horseback through Buddhist Outer Mongolia in a desperate attempt to treat his condition with shamanic healing.
When 2-year-old Rowan was diagnosed with autism, Rupert Isaacson, a writer and former horse trainer, and his wife, Psychology Professor Kristin Neff, sought the best possible medical care for their son — but traditional therapies had little effect.

Then they discovered that Rowan has a profound affinity for animals — particularly horses — and the family set off on a quest for a possible cure.

The Horse Boy is part travel adventure, part insight into shamanic tradition and part intimate look at the autistic mind.

In telling one family's extraordinary story, the film gives voice to the thousands who display amazing courage and creativity every day in the battle against this mysterious and heartbreaking epidemic.

The filmic companion to Isaacson's best-selling book of the same name and a festival favorite, this ravishing documentary odyssey gives insight into how, in life's darkest moments, one can find the gateway to joy and wonder. More: zeitgeistfilms.com/horseboy

Happy Nat'l American Indian Day (9/27)



American Indian Day is observed on the fourth Friday of September every year. This year, it is celebrated today, Friday, Sept. 27th.

Although this is one of the most important days in the U.S., Native American Day is a public holiday or official state observance only in some states.

However, it has been steadily growing in scope and popularity. Something important is that some states celebrate this day on the second Monday of October.

History of American Indian Day
The people were more colorful than the land, but we would never know that from old photos.

As the name implies, Indigenous or Native American Day is an opportunity to celebrate, learn, and share information about the traditions, culture, and background of Native Americans [as well as your own alleged Cherokee blood].

If one is wondering who "Native Americans" are [the best American writer on the subject is Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz]. They are the descendants of the aboriginal, indigenous people who were the original First Nations inhabitants of what is now called the United States of America, which is a continent with many other countries.

The term "Native Americans" encompass hundreds of different tribes, from the Inuit (Eskimos) of Alaska to the Cherokees of the southeastern woodlands to the Dine (Navajos) of the Southwest, all the way up to the Kizh (Tongva) of Los Angeles and their neighbors the "Beautiful People" (Chumash) of Malibu, LA islands, and Ventura.

Each of these tribes has its own unique culture and language [on the west many related to the Ute Aztecan and on the east many related to Algonquin].

Native Americans have made distinct and significant contributions to the U.S.A. and the rest of the world in many fields, such as medicine, agriculture, music, language, and art.


Throughout history, they have distinguished themselves as inventors, entrepreneurs, spiritual leaders [shamans and medicine women], and scholars.

In 1998, Native American Day was officially declared a state holiday. In 1990, South Dakota proclaimed this day a year of reconciliation between Native Americans and Caucasian [settler colonial] populations.

South Dakota did this by changing ignominious "Columbus Day" to Indigenous Peoples' Day or "Native American Day."

This day aims at celebrating the irreplaceable heritage, contributions, and knowledge of the massive Native American population.

What about the pre-Indians buried here?
It is also a day to commemorate the enduring legacy of their fortitude, energy, and strength [in the face of repeated humiliations, treaty betrayals, and an ongoing slow genocide conducted by the government with collusion by the larger population].

Native American Day is also about appreciating the long history of culture and traditions that Native Americans have preserved through the centuries. More

Longevity of the Buddhist-Bon Hunza people


HUNZA RIVER VALLEY, Pakistan - The mystery of the longevity of the formerly Buddhist and Bon Hunza (prior to Islamic invasion and forced conversion, leaving them as Shia Muslims). The Hunza are the people who do not age and live to be 120-140 years old.

(Unraveling the Scriptures) ✪ Members first on July 4, 2024. Ever imagine living to be 120 years old or reaching 140 while looking like a teenager? Or reaching 80 years old while looking 40 and remaining healthy? This video talks about the mystery of the Hunza people in Indo-Pakistan (formerly India before the Partition of 1947).

Tibet was a massive empire, with Lhasa as its capital, and Gilgit (Hunza) circle at left.
  • "Bon" refers to the indigenous shamanic traditions of these mountains, as practiced throughout the Tibetan Empire prior to Buddhism, at which time it melded with the esoteric teachings of Vajrayana Buddhism throughout the Himalayas.
  • American longevity expert Dr. Joel Wallach (criticialhealthnews.com) insists the biblical phrase "land of milk and honey" does not refer to dairy and bee products but rather the frothy mineral rich waters coming down from glacial mountain streams and fruit nectar from trees growing on rugged terrain.
What are the secrets, to live in peace and not kill?
The Buddhist mountain people of Hunza take cold plunges, breathe fresh air, exercise daily, play sports until 100, eat mineral-rich food from the hills and valley, eat fresh low caloric foods, and live happily in close community. This is the Hunza River below the Himalayas and Karakoram ranges (close to the tallest mountain in the world, which is likely K2 rather than Everest), where beauty is the norm, much like the Buddha (Prince Siddhartha Gautama of neighboring Bamiyan, Afghanistan, called Kapilavastu in Gandhara in ancient times).
Hunza's Buddhist past
Buddhism and, to a lesser extent Bön, was the primary religion in the area. The region holds several surviving Buddhist archeological sites, such as the Sacred Rock of Hunza.

Hunza Valley was central to the network of trading routes connecting Buddhist Central Asia to the subcontinent (India).

Ancient rock carvings look better. Hail Allah!
It also provided protection to Buddhist missionaries and wandering ascetic monks visiting the subcontinent, and the region played a significant role in the transmission of Buddhism throughout Asia [3] (along the Silk Road from the birthplace of the Buddha in Afghanistan and the birth of Buddhism in Bihar, proto-India).

Before conquest by Islam, the majority of the region practiced Buddhism. Since then, most of the population was converted to Islam.

The region has many works of graffiti in the ancient Brahmi script written on rocks (petroglyphs), produced by Buddhist monastics as a form of worship and culture [4].

With most locals being converted to Islam, those inscriptions had been mainly left ignored, destroyed, or forgotten, but they are now being restored [5].
