Life can be hard.  Even for us here.  But, I’ve learned to LAUGH AT IT!

Being a Heyoka (clown), well, just for fun, I’m now keeping my eyes open for a 4-legger WALKER…..Got the rest needed : Small bike wheels, an Umbrella , and a Porta Pot.
Wanna build a WHEELED “walker”, WITH Toilet ….that way, If I lose EVERYTHING, at least I’ll have a Moveable Porta Pot to set on / and to “do my “Duty” “.  I may end up homeless, but I’ll  STILL HAVE A POT TO PISS IN!   ( :    re

I was 19 or 20…over at ‘Nam.  My ship (152-157 men) ordered to teach the S. Vietnam navy (That was a “joke”).   During this tour we were at the mouth of a Big River.  One between ‘Nam and Cambodia.

It was VERY foggy.  I was standing besides the Officer Of The Day (guy in charge) as the bridge phoneman.

The officer was Lt. J. G. Berkowitz.

We were cruising very slowly, going to enter the river and go upstream a bit.  The heavy warm fog would occasionally have lighter patches…still foggy tho.

Suddenly we hit one of the small patches.  There, before us, mere 200 -400 yards ahead, appeared ANOTHER ship.  She, TOO, going upstream.

It was MIND BLOWING!  An OLD SAILING SHIP!  VERY Old!   Not a soul seen on board.  All main sails set…sails IN “RAGS”!  ROTTEN!   As too WAS HER HULL.

No noise…a true DERELICT.

The Lt. froze as we stood side by side.  I stood in AMAZEMENT….for we BOTH KNEW WE WERE SEEING………………………………THE FLYING DUTCHMAN !

He turned to me with a “Do You SEE THAT?!” look in his eyes.  I nodded, “yes.”

As we watched, she disappeared….sailing slowly into the fog.

He nor I never spoke ….  we had seen, now was Not the time to even ‘TIL….till now.

Shortly after, her “foretelling” came true.  We went to war.   re

There was a big fish.  Fishermen seeked him day and night. Using baits of all kinds.  Year after year.  He was hunted.

“I must CATCH THAT FISH!  When I have him, never again will I go hungry,” was their thoughts.

Ignoring the far smaller fish that the fish ate and got his size from.  Ignoring, too, that he had to eat daily

It was not an instant happening to get to his size.

Day after day the fishermen tried.  Day after day they went home hungry.

“I don’t WANT to nibble on LITTLE fish.  I WANT THAT…..ONE!”

The big fish was often “tried” by wonderful baits. Occasionally ALMOST being fooled.  But he tested before he’d swallow.  Thus grew bigger and bigger, Safely.

Still the fishermen came.  Still, they left, hungry.

IGNORING the foods the “great” fish ate.

He did not.  Growing bigger. Growing stronger.   Growing wiser.  Knowing his Safe food the fishermen passed by.

The “great” fish gave thanks, daily, for his many small tidbits….and still lives.

And the fishermen continue to go home, hungry.  re

My daughter asked me to take her debit card and get a few things for her.
I am unfamiliar with these cards.
Taking the items to the checkout stand, I inserted.  Evidently not the correct way.
Tried again…Ditto

The line behind me growing…as too was my frustration.

The checkout clerk (a nice looking gal in her late 30s (I’d guess))…saw what I was doing wrong.

She said  “Strip DOWN, Facing Me.”

oh oh!

I looked into her (nice!) eyes and said :

“You first.”

The Old man was at a conference.  One filled with men and women of Science and High Government and High Business people.

Speaker after Speaker taking turns.  Lauding their Accomplishments.  Telling how, if it wasn’t for THEM, we wouldn’t have what we have today.  Planes / Moon Travel / Space exploration / Cars / Roads / TV / PCs…. and on and on and on.  All patting their own back and the backs of the others. All with the “LOOK what WE have Done!!!  What accomplishments we of Science and Companies and Government help and backing…have done For THE WHOLE WORLD!”

Towards the end, the old one requested to speak.  “YES, by ALL MEANS!”

He went to the podium, filled with mikes.

“I see what you have done. (He said)….INDEED…LOOK WHAT MANKIND HAS DONE!  Now we can travel in HOURS across our Earth….in what may have taken Days…or even Weeks!

Thanks to you of Science, the “world” is at our fingertips!  We can, THANKS TO YOU, now simply pick up a phone or go to our Personal Computer!

It is FANTASTIC!!

THANK YOU!”

This brought a roll of applause.

“Indeed…LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!”

(Again, applause and big smiles).

The old one continued:   “With this technology, We now have POLLUTION / DYING FORESTS / DEAD and Dying Seas /  Less Food grown / MASSES DYING from Starvation and Weather Exposure and lack of Clean Air and on and on.

YOU have done WELL!

Each “doing” needing our Earths natural Resources to MAKE these ‘WONDERFUL’ things.

At the rate ‘Technology’ is going…40 TREES in a “togetherness Group” will be called a “Forest”.  In time, even THOSE fenced off and be called a MUSEUM !  LIVING PROOF of what earth USED to have…OVER ITS WHOLE Width and Breadth!

YES!  LOOK what “we” (motioning to the auditorium filled with “Praise Givers”) have DONE!

I tell you true we are HERE, not because what you have done that makes us so “GOOD”…but because of  what you have done to Make us     So          BAD!”

Ive reuest WS  and H to post this WITHOUT CORRECTIONS…..(gonna b ruff, folks):
I quit school at age 15.  9th grade.  Faild it.  Not because I was dumb, but because I had more importent things to study….”Medicin”.
I knew enough to do the reading n math to make my way through life.  Had no intentions of being a Rockit Scintist…Engineer…Etc..  i KNEW my calling..  HS wouldnt help in this one bit.
I had faild because of this.  The MUCH FEARD Truint Officer never cought me….everyone ELES, but never myself.
Who would exspect a ‘truint’ to b in the city librays, STUDYING?  “Anchent Ways”….Hypnoses…History of others on our countinit, Ect.?
When not in tese (Detroit has some GREAT Librarys), Id b at the MUSIUMS.  Again, 1st hand SEEING.
Then, if not in any of thsese, Id b off behind the big auto plants, tracking the many ENORMIS deer / etc. in the strips of bush / trees n trash the city never took care of.  Not a Park (as ud call a park) but a PARIDICE to wildlife…n thus, to ME!
The small mendering creeks n streems, filled with floating oil, trash, old tires, etc. TEAMING with fish.  BIG ONES!  Never DID see a Carp, or a Sucker….EVER.  But saw RECORD BREAKING Bluegills and Trout!  Never saw another human, ether….OR the Truint Officer.  ( :
Id trap Phasents…Rats…Farrow Cats…Racoons (live traping)…and use a willow branch as a fishing pole. Made my own hooks…but store bought fishing line (untill I learned how to make my own from green long weed leafs).  Everything found “on the spot”. This “usless and “STUPID” kid, dressed as a “hood”…had a BALL!  Building hideing places as Id go.  Little sleeping “huts” that fit into the area.  Nights out in these.  Tiny LOW fires in cleared brush to break up the smoke…hidden fires so as not to b detected. This “hood” was HAVEING a BALL!
Then, emerge to Taxis, City Busses, Noises (that had been dulled by the factorys masses) and hundreds of cars n predestriens…and FULL sunlight…SHOCKING to the sences!  Then onto a bus, or hitch hikeing….back home again.  A few days WHERE I “BELONGED” now behind me….the “normol” (WHITEMAN) world.  ugh!
My mother had long ago stoped worrying about me.  She had her own “life” and one less “kid” was alright with her.  (She was a ‘party girl’).
Trying to ‘hide’ her Indianess…telling all she was “Egyption” (hi ck. bones / etc.)…she did all she could to fit into the “white” world.  Ashamed of being NA.  ! was ASHAMED of HER!
Anyway…did as I needed to do, schoolwise.
Always WANTING a COLLEGE Education….eventualy (after 3 attempts) I managed to “tough it out” n passeds my GED test….then to 2 colleges.  Last just for Fun (likes the campis).  Studying in these things I could choose.  Things needed to help round off my ‘calling’.
Yup, this miss-spelling twit has a COLLEGE Degree!  ( :   (Only one yr. at #2 college…and, for fun…AND to futher my “Med.” training).
As u can c, my spelling is, well, sorta “off”. BUT U CAN READ IT!  Thats all u need as far as Im concerned.
Its not “Whitman” rules “way”…but at least ur understanding anyway.  (U outta c my COLLGE CLASES NOTES….my form of PETROGLIFS!  That only I CAN read. Aho?)!
Eventualy I joined the Navy.  ‘Survived’ THAT.  Fun, but got out as fast as I could.  The wouldnt give me what I had signed up for.  Just wasnt worth it.
Then, to marryed life.  At 26 (n officil batchler, as was my goal) I found “The Warden”.  Been a prisoner every sence.  Cant recall how many yrs, but over 40.
When I clled my mother to tell her I was geting marryed….her words went “Congradulations”….no, it was “is she INDIAN!”  Like spit comeing out of her mouth. (She realy had a “problem”).  ( :
When we adopted r daughter…a COLLVILL NA Child…..oh oh!
Yup, mom sure had a ‘problem’.
When my mother finily passed away….I felt no more oblagation to “honor” her “WE R WHITE” issue, and went from HER Nameing us…to my REAL name.  Yes, I am legely Red Elk.  Aho? No first name.  No last name…just Red (ElkRedElk).  Aho?
I am NOT related to ANY Red Elks in NA land.  Mine given in a Sacred Cerimony.
Wasnt MY choice…was GIVEN it.  Aho?
So, here I am, a Meti (“Half Breed”).  “2 Shoes” sorta being.   One Mocc., One Street shoe.
Ok, uve got a bit more “about” me….AND what WS has to put up with to make my spelling more platabel to u.  Bless her Vollinteer Heart!  re
(Yay, a break! :D :D :D – WS)

Readers:  I was sent an Email that said “I can’t understand why a 1st Nation guy would share all this knowledge to we ‘white’ people, after all we’ve done to you.”

Friends, lets be honest:  YOU probably haven’t “done” ANYTHING to us!  Maybe your ANCESTORS did, but not YOU. Aho?

What YOU do NOW, is YOU.

That holds true to ANY Race YOU “do” TO.  Aho?

The Emailer also said “You NA”.

I’ve shared I am NOT a “Full Blood” Native American (1st Nation).  I’m a BREED.  A METIS.  That means MIXED “breed”.  NA AND WHITE,  RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE.  Blackfoot / Shoshone (I’m told) and French / Irish.  I CLAIM NO FULL NA and have told that over and over. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION!

Why do I share (sell) How To’s on Telepathy / Teleportation / Etc.?   HAVE TOLD THIS Over and Over as well : I’M DOING YOUR HOMEWORK!  It is ALL FREE…and I’ve Told THAT as well!  ANY who will pick up a BIBLE can get this information on “How.”  (Use a CONCORDANCE when reading).  It’s FREE, friends.  F  R  E  E!

People are so LAZY (in general) they SEEK withOUT “Doing”.  “Want it NOW!” attitude.

Ok, you then Pay me to “GIVE IT…NOW!”

I make a “wage” to do what YOU are TOO LAZY to do YOURSELF.

Just like you pay to eat at a McDonalds, etc..  MORE CONVENIENT  to BUY, then to go home and COOK, YourSelf.

Told MANY times TOO, that there is NO “NA” Medicine Secrets I will “put out”.  (Tho get “attacked” by sharing these ability knowledges…BY the NAs.)

Doesn’t ANYONE Pay ATTENTION?!

I’ve told (in my 2 DVD Videos) what I have been SHOWN…by THE CREATOR….and If YOU get as “close” to “Him” as I have…”HE” WILL SHARE WITH YOU, as well.

Or…..pay me.             Your choice.  Aho?

I will (hopefully) soon get my BIG “Short Stories”  Book published and “out there”.  IF you intend to buy, SAVE YOUR MONEY…it WON’T BE CHEAP! ($35.00 to $40.00).

This book is filled with Insight.  Gives You ALOT TO THINK ABOUT!  (It will be around 400 pages).

As all I tell….Don’t buy if you think it is “bunk”.  Again, this is Your CHOICE.

Not ONE is being “forced” to go the way I have.  I’m just here to SHARE what this “way” has done for / in me AND tell what it has done In me.

EVERYTHING is UP TO YOU to choose.  Aho?

So, I leave you to do, or think, as you please.

I tell you true…YOU and  I      W  I  L  L       BE SEEING EACH OTHER….GB    re

“Priceless”

This is just too good.  A real lesson for all of us.  Have a Blessed Day.

The light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.

As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up.

He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell.

After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.

He said, ”I’m very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the ‘What Would Jesus Do’bumper sticker, the ‘Choose Life’ license plate holder, the ‘Follow Me to Sunday-School’ bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally…I assumed you had stolen the car.”

Priceless.

I’m Alice

JUST finished watching ALICE IN WONDERLAND (WS Note: the Burton version, tho RE did note it was a continuation so both versions and the book should be considered).
Sure reminds me of….ME.
To be an Inner Heyoka IS a lot like that, and Harry Potter and MANY “Fairy Tale” stories.  In the “Inners” (AND, TOO, the TRADITIONAL Medicine People), we live in Realities few ever can.  Almost like “Magic”.  To walk or ride down roads and see the Ancients…man OR beast, while still in THIS “reality”….to occasionally TALK with them….LEARN from them….Watch their Living ways….well; Wow!

to “DO”….WHAT a PRIVILEGE!

Then there’s Visit Times with Big Brother…and an occasional time at the FEET of the Creator, HEARING “HIM” SPEAK….”WOW” is a WEAK Way of expressing it!!!
Yes, we Do / See / Learn AND STAND (In AWE) of these Times.  Oh, so WONDERFUL this “way” can be.  So Wonderful it IS!
No, not everyone can have this Calling…but ANY can have MOST OF IT!
But even in That…can You TAKE IT?
GO TO THE CREATOR.  HUNGER for Him.  SEEK    KNOCK     and be CONSISTENT.  Then YOU Too can find!

HO

Hummmm   3 from this group asked for tellings regarding my last.  I could write (and sell) books!

 
Well, hummmm…you should know we Inner Heyoka deal / work with angels….Aho?

 
I’ll tell a tiny bit on that.  THEY ACTUALLY EXIST.  G(o)od AND BAD.  TOTEMS are not just totem POLES.  That’s another matter.  Totems are ALSO NATIVE AMERICAN ANGELS!  Ones WE Comprehend.  The Creator deals with MANY people.  Gives as EACH UNDERSTAND.

I, part White / Part NA, know NA AND Whites’ ‘winged ones’.  Aho?

 
Ok, with that: Last very late Fall Season, I did a seminar in “deep Mormon” country…DEEP in Utah.  Took my 18 yr old grandson.  (His 1st “trip” with me).  And WHAT a TRIP!  SEEING MANY long past NA Villages…People…MASTODONS!  Saber Tooth TIGERS…UNBELEIVABLE!  Telling Matt what I was seeing as I was driving.  “See that “hill” (small Mountain) over there?  That was called HUNTERS HILL”, etc.  “I’m seeing BIG HERDS of HAIRY MASTODONS…This VALLEY FILLED WITH ‘EM…and “HUNTERS”, Etc.

Then to the town.  Setting at the ‘to be’ seminar building (we in the pickup), Matt and I chatting, when : “WAIT A MINUTE MATT!  WE HAVE COMPANY COMING! A “Spook”!  Described him to Matt as he walked to my side window and stopped.  I rolled the window down to talk.  A short guy…rather ‘warm’ clothing. Floppy round beamed hat.  Beard and old spectacles. KNEW INSTANTLY HE WAS A LONG AGO MORMON!  “Are you Red Elk?”  “Yes.”  “Been waiting for you.  Glad you’ve come.  They NEED to KNOW what you teach.  WELCOME!”  Told me his name and we shook hands (YUP! as Matt WATCHED my “EMPTY” hand go up and down). His name was Joseph (something).  Not THE “Joseph tho.  A follower (and turned out, BEST FRIEND, to that one).  “DONT HOLD BACK” he said as he turned and walked into…NOTHING.  Nothing but still HEARABLE.  “THEY NEED TO HEAR YOUR MESSAGE.  DON’T HOLD BACK!”

 
I sent Matt in to get the seminar arranger.  Told him what had taken place and the Spirits looks.  “THAT’S JOSEPH (name?).  BEST FRIEND TO Our Leader!  He held GREAT RESPECT with ALL THE NA!  LOVED BY THEM!”  etc. etc.
Then told him of the vast herds I’d seen as I had drove into the valley.  (YES!  We are KNOWN THERE…ditto on the “spook”). “THEIR BONES!  Got a Full Skeleton in the small museum here!”  (Matt saw ‘em the next day.  Blew him away.  Old gramps was TELLING THE TRUTH!

 
After the late night set up, I then did ceremony.  Called in GOD Angels to FILL ALL SEATS and “Pack the building and surroundings”.  Then headed to eat / sleep.

Early the next day 119 attendees came.  (2 left when I “jumped” the Mormons for making us (NA) PETS!).  (Hey, I’m honest.  “Jumped” the Catholics too…for making us SLAVES!).

Anyway, THE PLACE was PACKED with GOD ANGELS!  Walking, sitting…(ON THE SEAT USER or them on an Angel).  ALL OVER! And OUTSIDE (saw through the windows) MORE, “Patrolling”.

At a “smoke (and personal Prayer)” time outside…Matt told me “I THINK I SAW SOME ANGELS, Grampa!”

 
OTHER SAW TOO!

 
Then, as I was speaking (Matt beside me) and stopped to drink (talk myself DRY), Matt whispered in my ear:  Grampa, are there 3 angels in the balcony up there?”  I looked “Nope”.  He was crestfallen.  “There are FIVE, LOOK AGAIN!”  Two others peeked around the opening.  YOU OUTTA HAVE SEEN MATT’S EYES POP!   ( :

 
Matt not a “believer”.  LEFT FOR HOME AS ONE THO!  (Still IS too!).

 
Oh, after seminar and some personal counseling….JOSEPH CAME AGAIN!  Matt and I about to drive off.  Said “YOU’LL BE BACK”…3 times…then waked off into the ? again.  The 3rd, saying as he disappeared.

 
Will I?  I don’t know.  One of those “wait and see” Checkings.  Aho?
