The Rainbow Warrior
�We will be known forever by the tracks we leave.�
Dakota proverb
If you are supportive of institutions over individuals, then you better not read this.
If you disregard The Native American Rule of Seven Generations, then maybe this article
is not for you.
If the phrase �fuck war� irritates you because of its �foul� language and not
because humanity is still struggling with the devastation of institutional conflict,
then I suggest you look for other reading material more appropriate to your refined
sensibilities.
If you support war as a political means, if you support the idea that peace can only be
achieved by force, if you support the profitable status quo upheld by the Demoncats and the
Republicons (or whatever leftwing/rightwing paradigm you currently are under) then move
on.
If you oppose the notion of real change, of social revolution (just as you�ve been taught
to) then you might as well stop right here.
If, on the other hand, this sentiment inspires you, if the foulness of war makes such expletives
as �fuck war� seem a reasonable use of language, then I hope you�ll read on.
The Wendigo War World
The Native Americans saw the European newcomers as being spiritually afflicted.
There were probably many descriptions for this craze, but one that survived is Wendigo.
Roughly translated, the word �Wendigo� means �the evil spirit that devours mankind�.
Native Americans believe that when a person consumes the flesh of another human being,
he or she is overcome by evil spirits and transformed into a Wendigo, a creature with
glowing eyes, long yellowed fangs, long tongues and penetrating claws.
A human infected with the Wendigo devours the proverbial or actual flesh/life force
of other people, places and things with an insatiable hunger.
Cumulatively, a human race infected with the Wendigo poses a far greater problem�
�If we dig precious things from the land we will perish.��
Hopi Prophecy
Whether taken literally or figuratively, the story of the Wendigo holds many lessons for
our society today.
We live in a Wendigo war-world, a place where force dominates and an insatiable appetite
for income and stuff is considered a quality � and indeed, a necessary � characteristic.
Wendigos want.
Always hungry, they are never satisfied, and never have enough.
It leads one to destroy its own home.
You cannot fight a Wendigo, for it is made up of colorless evil, and fighting it only
feeds it.
Endlessly digging, the ravenous Wendigo can only be confronted with open hands and open
heart.
Only by sharing can it be defeated.
Two-Heartedness
The Hopi People of Arizona eloquently described this predicament when they encountered institutionalized
individuals for the first time.
They referred to the institutionalized Europeans who arrived on their shores as �two hearted�,
as they recognized that those who succumb to greed and ego, who lose the conscious connection
that can only exist in the moment, had a second �heart� to feed � one that could never
be satisfied.
We can see this two-heartedness in every aspect of our society today: literally devouring
everything before it, our culture constantly seeks but seldom finds fulfillment.
�When a man moves away from nature, his heart becomes hard.�
Lakota proverb
We live today in a sea of pollution and systemic corruption.
We have created a culture of separation based only on �masculine� ideals, forsaking
and even undermining the �feminine� virtues of sustainability, individuality, co-operation,
community and nurturing.
Now women join the perverted masculine military, as long as they get equal pay� We celebrate
battles, victories and war heroes, instead of healers, peacemakers, pacifists and progressive
thinkers, artists and poets.
We yield our power to institutions that blatantly value competition, conformity, war, profit
and power over equality, peace, diversity, advancement and solution � and we allow
them to determine for us the options and directions available in our lives without ever holding
them accountable to that abuse of power.
And by this two-heartedness, we have collectively lost our way.
The Heart of the Rainbow Warrior
The rainbow is the opposite of colorless evil.
A rainbow is made from clarity and also is a reflection of every color.
A rainbow is symbolic for omnipotent grace in its clarity and its ability to equally
reflect all seven colors.
A rainbow represents no thing and all things at the same time.
Diamonds share this quality of clarity and ability to reflect.
A Rainbow Warrior is like a diamond rainbow, clear but reflecting all colors, opposite
of unclear evil and colorlessness.
Call-to-the-Rainbow-WarriorsIn order to be a Rainbow Warrior, one sheds two-heartedness
and stops feeding the Wendigo.
One stops choosing colors, sides, nations, flags, and all manner of institutional reflections.
When one resides in one�s own heart, without impulses to speak for, act on behalf of or
feed a second institutional heart, one clears oneself of the institutional mediation of
the Wendigo world.
Free of institutional allegiance, Rainbow Warriors represent all colors, all individuals,
all beings.
They celebrate � and when required, defend � the sanctity of all life and creation.
But instead of a wielding a sword, the Rainbow Warrior has a clear heart, a sharp mind, and
open hands, creating change through peaceful procedure.
Rainbow Warriors have their hearts in the right place, as well as having their hearts
placed right to cause thoughtful and peaceful change.
�When I was ten years of age I looked at the land and the rivers, the sky above, and
the animals around me and could not fail to realize that they were made by some great
power.
I was so anxious to understand this power that I questioned the trees and the bushes.
It seemed as though the flowers were staring at me, and I wanted to ask them �Who made
you?� I looked at the moss-covered stones; some of them seemed to have the features of
a man, but they could not answer me.
Then I had a dream, and in my dream one of these small round stones appeared to me and
told me that the maker of all was Wakan Tanka, and that in order to honor Him, I must honor
His works in nature.
The stone said that by my search I had shown myself worthy of supernatural help.
It said that if I were curing a sick person I might ask its assistance, and that all the
forces of nature would help me work a cure.�
Tatanka-ohitika, Brave Buffalo
Individuation Without Institution
The American Indians lived in harmony with their environment for millennia, however there
was occasional disharmony among the peoples of Turtle Island.
Tribes battled each other at times, but never on the mass scale of European wars.
Their culture remained grounded in the masculine and feminine in equal measure, undistorted
by the hyper-masculine colonialism of the Europeans, and so disputes between tribes
were actually settled.
In fact, the term �bury the hatchet� comes from the Iroquois legend that celebrated the
peacemaker who brought together the five nations under the pine tree of peace:
During a time when people became unthankful, there was war in every village.
A vicious cycle of war and revenge spun out of control to the point that no one really
knew what the fight was about anymore.
A child was born to a virgin, and when he grew up he traveled to all the nations to
convince them to unite in peace.
After a time, he was able to bring the people together and convinced them to literally bury
their weapons under a white pine tree and symbolically bury their hatred and vengefulness.
He also tied together arrows from each tribe to represent their unity as one.
Today our world is very much in a state where we have forgotten what we�re fighting about.
We live vengefully, fearfully, hard-heartedly, continuing on a downward spiral of oligarchical
collectivism and war that began long before any of us were born.
To most of us, the very idea of tying our figurative arrows together in unity with foreigner
individuals and institutions seems laughable � the dream of idealists.
And yet whether it is prejudice of individual of nation, as who does that sentiment benefit,
and who does it cost.
We do have the power to make peace�
A Little Green Revolution
rainbow-prophecy_new-world
True social revolution begins at the bottom, not the top.
It is up to Rainbow Warriors to make peace, be peace and spread peace.
It is time to demand an end to war!
It is time we began to heal Earth Mother and her inhabitants from generations of separation,
conflict and destruction.
We are everywhere, and we are more common than we have been led to believe.
And there is no time to spare: without a groundswell of forgiveness, compassion and unity, there
will be no healing, and without healing, there will be no revolution, and without revolution
there will be no peace.
�If dem wanna win the revolution, de must win it with Rasta.
You cannot win other way, because if you win other way you have go fight again.
When you�re Rasta �n win, there no more war.�
Bob Marley
Rainbow Warriors are clear, and yet of every color or vibration, but to heal a society
of two-heartedness, a successful revolution must be green.
Certainly the �green� symbolism of integrative energy and cleaner living is ultra-important
and of immediate necessity for revolution, but further a successful revolution has to
be green more specifically in that it must reflect the healing energy of the heart chakra.
The heart chakra is associated with the color green and is central among the seven chakras,
its centrality indicative of power, grace, love and equanimity � the only qualities
that may overcome this human sickness.
If a revolution does not begin in or emanate from the heart, if revolution is an act of
violence not an act of love, then more than likely the revolution will fail and the cycle
of conflict and destruction will continue.
The Wendigo�s claw must be confronted with an open human hand, and only by sharing and
caring with an open hand and an open mind can the Wendigo be defeated.
Be centered and open, with diamond-like clarity, as a Rainbow Warrior.
�When the earth is ravaged and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall come
unto the earth from many colors, classes, creeds and who by their actions and deeds
shall make the earth green again.
They will be known as the warriors of the rainbow.�
