Another Sacred Place May Be Destroyed Because Native Americans Need To Provide Proof That A Site In Utah Is Worth Saving
It seems strange to me that Native Americans and Indigenous People across the planet need to provide proof that a piece of land is sacred.
All Earth based cultures believe that All Land is Sacred, so the need to provide proof to make an area sacred or perhaps more sacred than any other, doesn’t make sense.
For centuries the land, resources and skills of Earth based cultures have been raped and pillaged by their invaders at a profound cost to the people, the language, the history and the land.
Embodying greed, power and the desire for wealth, invading nations have completely dis-regarded the belief systems and cultures of these communities, and large areas of land have been desecrated, built upon, and mined.
Even on land that is proven to be ‘sacred’, in certain countries it is only the surface area that remains protected, which allows government organisations, mining companies and other corporations to infiltrate the underground energies of the land to bring about more wealth, more construction and more devastation to the landscape.
As a species that has become fixated upon IT, scientific development and space travel, we continue to move further away from the understanding of these cultures, and their knowledge about our connection to the land and the cosmos that is embodied and enriched without the use of technology.
Anasazi lands should be considered sacred
Earth based cultures embrace rituals, ceremonies and dedications. These are the things that help make land sacred. Whether or not people have been on the land for hundreds of years, the imprints of these dedications, rituals and ceremonies still reside in the Earth. They cannot be ignored and they infuse every area of the land with sacredness for evermore.
Surely then the need to provide proof that a place is sacred or more sacred than another becomes obsolete. Or are we back to the greed, power and wealth thing again?
