      I see what you mean, how can God throw us this? But you see, this we are experiencing now is just a replay of what has been happening since man began to wanting to conquer and win. And everytime, we have fought it, rebelled against what we have called 'evil'. I'm not saying let's forget about it or stay positive, but my perspective, and the medicine that I perceive through this powerful music, is this: no matter what this american government plans to do, I won't stay in fear and I won't resist it, because what we resists persists, everytime. I see us humans rising above all this war that we create in our minds, and unite for what we WANT the world to be, instead of what we don't want it to be. Love is the most powerful force. In fear we contract, in love we expand. I hope my words made sense 💙

But it's like, I see how the patterns seems to be fighting the system and has never worked...I believe coming in alightnment in our own lives to our truest self love, will give no space to let fear come in. You are on the path of expansion and I want to share with you 2 humans that have helped me through to believe in this Utopian world we all want: Jacque Fresco, inventor of The Venus Project 💙 and Teal Swan (search for a video she has about Donald Trump, it's very insightful) 💜

Now it is still so surreal becouse it is so filled with hate. There are white americans who say to native americans "go back where you cam from!" uhm how about you? go back to europe? No? Then shut up at let them live in peace together. Your fathers stole the land so now you could give it back or at least stop being an asshole.

I first heard Nahko when I was in rehab for opiate abuse 14 months clean right now from opiates.. first song I heard was Wash It away the gondola version. About halfway through it I actually heard what he was saying.. and it broke me. But in a good way. This man's music continues daily to have a huge part in my recovery and in saving my life.
    I'm eternally grateful for that.

    Give, always give what you can
    Even if your allies draw lines in the sand
    And dig, always dig a little deeper
    Sometimes it’s hard to be my brother’s keeper
    Love, so you let love in
    Baby I am home in the wake of your skin, and it’s crazy
    How we wear our ceremony
    Always be open to your path and your journey
    Yes, she cradles my loneliness
    A home in a forest nest
    Universal test, feel the weight of my love
    Put your hand on my chest
    And rest, in the cradle of my arms
    The battle that we face is a place where our scars come from
    And to pick up the gun
    My love we are destined to teach these ones to be brave
    And never run away
    Courage is birthed from the womb on the first light of day
    Yeah, the day you were born, you came out perfect
    Never meant to be torn
    In silence, never been so loud in the violence
    Never been so proud of a people
    When we’re fighting for a change, not afraid to lose it all despite all the rage
    We are animals
    And we cannot be caged
    Provoke us to fight
    So we burn a little sage and write poetry
    Wiser than the enemy will ever be
    The minority
    And authority
    Are you here to protect or arrest me?
    I can’t tolerate the hate, and I'm losing sleep
    Can’t breathe, cause they’re choking out a war in me
    Immorality
    Love letters to God
    Wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
    In the stars, the stars, in the stars
    So many parts to a heavy heart
    If there’s no beginning, then where would you start?
    Start, start, where would you start?
    Human souls, so we carve 'em to a story Totem poles
    Because we’re always searching for a certain goal
    A pattern of physics, a role
    Don’t believe all you’re told
    And open
    Open up your fist
    A misconception, you can fight like this
    In praise, with the power of prayer
    If God’s on our side, we can take the stairs
    To the heavens
    Flipping through my chapter seven
    I live with the snakes in the great deception
    No court, in this country for men
    Who steal from their mother on paper with pen
    And we’re tripping
    Down a red dirt road
    And we’re asking
    Is this the way we should go?
    Kissing, soft top feet of my goddess
    We walk the earth, baby, yeah we got this
    Focus, and it’s redirected
    Grateful, and I’m resurrected
    Stubborn, but I know the way
    You’re the skin of my drum
    To your rhythm I will sway
    Take my hand
    I won’t lead you astray
    We will not go gently into the darkest of days
    Grandma’s here, and she says persevere
    Take a walk in her mocks, sees a trail of tears
    And our fears, are the same as they ever were
    Beers, numb the pain of a holocaust
    Gears, always mobbing in motion
    Maybe, baby, be an island or an ocean
    Your arches, how they bend and contract on my conscience
    Never slipped through the grip of my thesis
    And my theory is I shine in your presence
    A deliverance
    Love letters to God
    Wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
    In the stars, the stars, in the stars
    So many parts to a heavy heart
    If there’s no beginning, then where would you start?
    Start, start, where would you start?

    Native Americans need to run this nation, there eyes stay wide open and their hearts and hands heal. Peace and love my fellow Americans, to stop discrimination it must start at the beginning and slowly right some wrongs. A human being is a human being, no matter color or race. And all deserve the utmost respect. Stay strong, stay safe and most of all stay real

    Just checking in... 11:57 a.m. Thursday March 16th 2023... And I'm still going strong and my recovery from drug addiction. Three years three months.
    I heard the song Wash It away gandola version in rehab and that was the changing point in my life. S song I ever heard by this gift to humanity was this song.
    And even though he may be singing with something very specific in this video... We all take music and we personalize it.
    His music is a gift. Accept it listen to it let it into your heart mind and soul and take from it whatever you can.
    And for those of you that are struggling out there with whatever it may be... Just keep getting up everyday put one foot in front of the other and only look back as a reference. Keep pushing forward and you can do it. If you think you can't do it then you'll correct you can't. If you know that you can and you think that you can and you are correct. The choice is yours.

  • @BobbaDao
    @BobbaDao 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I've long felt a strong affinity for the spiritual practices of native people, particularly Native Americans. People who see nature & the universe as god (and female), rather than something merely responding to a big male God boss. Because of this, this is one of my all time favourite videos. I played this video to my family today. However rather than finding it inspirational, they felt it rather depressing. This made me carefully consider what it was I found so up lifting. I think it's because of the deep underlying unity, going back many centuries, that has brought all these people together for the most noble of all causes; to very bravely, yet peacefully protect something of huge value and consequence. While the very frightened underpaid men opposing them, instinctively know the injustice being perpetrated and for their part, are now forever condemned to a life of shame. Might doesn't not equate to right.
