Cree Indian Prophecy - Warriors of the Rainbow

Last century an old wise woman of the Cree Indian nation, named "Eyes of Fire", had a vision of the future. She prophesied that one day, because of the white mans' or Yo-ne-gis' greed, there would come a time, when the earth being ravaged and polluted, the forests being destroyed, the birds would fall from the air, the waters would be blackened, the fish being poisoned in the streams, and the trees would no longer be, mankind as we would know it would all but cease to exist. There would come a time when the "keepers of the legend, stories, culture rituals, and myths, and all the Ancient Tribal Customs" would be needed to restore us to health, making the earth green again. They would be mankind's key to survival, they were the "Warriors of the Rainbow". There would come a day of awakening when all the peoples of all the tribes would form a New World of Justice, Peace, Freedom and recognition of the Great Spirit.

The "Warriors of the Rainbow" would spread these messages and teach all peoples of the Earth or "Elohi". They would teach them how to live the "Way of the Great Spirit". They would tell them of how the world today has turned away from the Great Spirit and that is why our Earth is "Sick".

The "Warriors of the Rainbow" would show the peoples that this "Ancient Being" (the Great Spirit), is full of love and understanding, and teach them how to make the "Earth or Elohi" beautiful again. These Warriors would give the people principles or rules to follow to make their path light with the world. These principles would be those of the Ancient Tribes. The Warriors of the Rainbow would teach the people of the ancient practices of Unity, Love and Understanding. They would teach of Harmony among people in all four corners of the Earth.

Like the Ancient Tribes, they would teach the peoples how to pray to the Great Spirit with love that flows like the beautiful mountain stream, and flows along the path to the ocean of life. Once again, they would be able to feel joy in solitude and in councils. They would be free of petty jealousies and love all mankind as their brothers, regardless of color, race or religion. They would feel happiness enter their hearts, and become as one with the entire human race. Their hearts would be pure and radiate warmth, understanding and respect for all mankind, Nature and the Great Spirit.

They would once again fill their minds, hearts, souls, and deeds with the purest of thoughts. They would seek the beauty of the Master of Life - the Great Spirit! They would find strength and beauty in prayer and the solitude of life.

Their children would once again be able to run free and enjoy the treasures of Nature and Mother Earth. Free from the fears of toxins and destruction, wrought by the Yo-ne-gi and his practices of greed. The rivers would again run clear, the forests be abundant and beautiful, the animals and birds would be replenished. The powers of the plants and animals would again be respected and conservation of all that is beautiful would become a way of life.

The poor, sick and needy would be cared for by their brothers and sisters of the Earth. These practices would again become a part of their daily lives.

The leaders of the people would be chosen in the old way - not by their political party, or who could speak the loudest, boast the most, or by name calling or mud slinging, but by those whose actions spoke the loudest. Those who demonstrated their love, wisdom and courage and those who showed that they could and did work for the good of all, would be chosen as the leaders or Chiefs. They would be chosen by their "quality" and not the amount of money they had obtained. Like the thoughtful and devoted "Ancient Chiefs", they would understand the people with love, and see that their young were educated with the love and wisdom of their surroundings. They would show them that miracles can be accomplished to heal this world of its ills, and restore it to health and beauty.

The tasks of these "Warriors of the Rainbow" are many and great. There will be terrifying mountains of ignorance to conquer and they shall find prejudice and hatred. They must be dedicated, unwavering in their strength, and strong of heart. They will find willing hearts and minds that will follow them on this road of returning "Mother Earth" to beauty and plenty - once more.

The day will come, it is not far away.

The day that we shall see how we owe our very existence to the people of all tribes that have maintained their culture and heritage. Those that have kept the rituals, stories, legends and myths alive. It will be with this knowledge, the knowledge that they have preserved, that we shall once again return to "harmony" with Nature, Mother Earth and mankind. It will be with this knowledge that we shall find our "Key to our Survival".

This is the story of the "Warriors of the Rainbow".

Only after the last river has been poisoned,
Only after the last fish has been caught,
Only then will you find
That money cannot be eaten.

Finally On Alexa's Charts!

Just a week into my campaign of getting the blog ranked again on Alexa, it has now been ranked at 19,152,070. Although a far cry from the glory days, it is still a promising start nonetheless. I will continue to try and raise it through the ranks, for my own satisfaction of course. Next post coming up after this. A little something I read today and was deeply impressed. 

A Short Notice

For the last few months I've been syndicating entire posts onto my facebook notes, whereas earlier it used to be just the first paragraph or 255 words, whichever is lesser. The point of doing that was to make it convenient for people to read the entire post without having to click through to the blog. The drawback to this is the loss in pageviews the blog suffers thereby not allowing sites like Alexa to give me an accurate pagerank. What all that jargon means is simply that I'm now going to give blogger permission to only publish part of my posts onto the notes and the rest, at the cost of a minor incovenvience, you'll would have to click through and get on the blog. This would of course be greatly appreciated by me and I want to thank you guys beforehand for taking the trouble. I'm going to quit writing now before this turns in to a thank you speech. Next post would be coming up soon. Ciao!

Being Me...

*Sigh* I don't know if I can put this delicately, but try I must. This is a blog Ladies and Gentlemen. An online account of my misadventures, my thoughts and opinions, a form of entertainment much like stand up comedians and Karan Johar movies. Okay maybe I'm not as bad as the latter there. The description of my blog reads, "This blog Is about the random events that happen to me... Makes good reading to myself when I get bored.." See where I'm going with this? Your praise is always welcome and criticism is much appreciated, but please lay off the inane half-assed critical comments. I've really had no cause for ire, you regular readers being most forthcoming and accommodating, at least before this 'friend' of mine decided to comment on my previous post. Her comment led to much confusion and torment in my delicate soul. "Who's side was she on?" , I asked myself for her comment seemed to defend the right of people who uphold the beauty of the English language, myself included, yet she goes on to berate me for my "missing commas and semicolons". Which made me wonder if there was something in the past that I had done to her to cause her so much grief. She did hate my ex girlfriend who's as big a bitch as she is (debatable issue, I admit), but so do I now and that should make us allies I believe.

Anyway, my point here is, this is a 'blog' and not The Times Of India. I'm not trying to change the world here or influence people with my half baked writings, which are utterly opinionated. A 5 year old who's just learnt to spell will inform you of how factual that is and would elucidate you on the pure entertainment value of my blog. But if you want to read quality literature then I suggest you go pick a copy of Shakespeare's Hamlet, or if you're into the fantasy sci-fi genre, Tolkien or Rowling should be your cup of tea. Don't run your mouth off on my blog with mindless uneducated comments, which is just a public display of your arrogance and ignorance. But maybe you're just PMS'ing in which case I sympathise with you. Can't really imagine bleeding a fuck load every month. I'd be a very pissed off bitch too and would probably bite just as hard as you. But if it's not that then it must be 'cause I stepped on your toes (unintentionally) when you were teaching me to dance, or think you're ugly and that haircut makes you look like a 12 year old school boy. Sure doesn't mean you take it out on me in as lame a manner as commenting on a post that's visible to about 4000 people on facebook, give or take. You do the maths.

Also a moot point, but one that I feel deserves a mention is the fact that this blog was once among the top 500,000 blogs in the world, or the top 0.5% as calculated by Alexa, based on pageviews and unique visitors. A little more maths on your fingertips, or a calculator for some, would tell you that's about 100 million+ blogs in the blogosphere. How's that for putting things into perspective?

And of course this blog is about me ranting! That's what I do best! Sit and complain about the inferior imbeciles that surround me and are the bane of my existence. Sure I think I'm superior to you. I wouldn't be a very successful asshole if I didn't, would I? Trying to show me down doesn't make you a bigger asshole than me, although that could fact be argued in some circles. But if being an asshole is what gets your juices flowing I suggest going for it. Whatever sails your boat man.

Death Of A Language.

You know what rattles my cage? What really get's my goat? It's the mutilation of the English language; the rampant misuse so often indulged whilst 'chatting'. "Language evolves" I hear you say and I'm all for it, knowing that English itself is a mishmash, a hodgepodge of several languages. But using words like 'okie' in place of 'OK' or 'okay' is just pushing it. Definition of 'okie' by Merriam-Webster - "sometimes disparaging : a migrant agricultural worker; especially : one from Oklahoma in the 1930s". Made me wince too when I first read it. Makes me wonder how people could use words that have a different meaning entirely from the one they intend. How many of you'll actually say 'okie' when you'll converse face to face with a person? Don't you think it may make you sound slightly MORONIC? So start restricting yourself when you're typing too. Liberalism is best when used in moderation. Yes, I just made that quote up to fit my agenda, so sue me.

Certain things are acceptable of course. The big disadvantage of conversing online is the lack of tonality and facial expression that is required while talking face to face to make oneself understood. This has given way to using words like 'lol' and it's counterparts, too numerous to mention. Also the use of emoticons serves a similar purpose, hence their popularity.

What is definitely not acceptable is "????????????" or "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". IT HURTS MY FUCKING EYES ASSHOLES. Really, are you that retarded? That alphabetically incompetent to use punctuation so liberally (criminal I should call it) to put your point across? Is that how you TALK when you speak? I see a whole bunch of you spitting venom at me right now, for sometime in our previous conversations you'll may have been prone to such vagaries. Yashvir, in all his goodness, forgives you all. Actually I take that back. There should be laws against such rabid abuse of a language I find such pleasure in, and you'll perpetrators should be punished accordingly, keeping in mind of course the severity of you're crimes.


aS UnFoRgIvAbLe iS WrItInG lIkE ThIs aNd ThInKiNg iT tO Be rEaLlY CoOl!!!!!! Gah! Who came up with that I wonder. Maybe our schizophrenic brethren trying to write in code so that they wouldn't be understood by the illusory spies that stalk them. If you have a tendency to write as such and see or hear things that others can't then get yourself checked because those are signs of a disturbed personality, an imbalance of chemicals in your brain. Blech. Nauseated is how I feel when subjected to that vile, demoralizing piece of unabashed literature (read: compost pile).


It fills me with dread to think about the future, the English that would be spoken by my kids and grand kids. I shudder to think that they would resort to some sort of pseudo-communication; probably grunting and using single syllable words, somewhat reminiscent of how cave men used to communicate back in the good ol' days of raw food, no shower and human sacrifices to please rain gods.

Here's a list of 15 Words added to the dictionary. A clear sign of things to come. There is no justice in this world I tell you.

The Truth Is Out There.

I belong to the tribe of people who believe that this universe isn't us Human's exclusive domain but contains life forms in abundance, albeit the majority probably not being sentient. Now there are a whole bunch of people who have shaken their heads in disagreement at this statement of mine and said there is no proof; the same people who believe in God, go to church on sundays and cross themselves when they pass a temple. These same people would be hard pressed to give scientifically accepted 'proof' of God's existence and would resort to stating instances of 'miracles' and quoting 'The Bible', like that book is sacrosanct and written by 'God' Himself. My point here is that nothing is certain but some things are more certain than others and I will go out on a limb here and state that the probability of the existence of extra-terrestrials is greater than that of God.

Let's take the Sphinx in Egypt as exhibit number 1. Egyptologists are of the general opinion that the Sphinx was built during the reign of King Khafre about 4500 years ago, or 2500 B.C. There is mounting geological and historical evidence that the theory of the Sphinx built by Khafre is flimsy at best. The new evidence that has surfaced shows that the Sphinx has to be much older than earlier assumed; as old as 12500 years or built around 10500 B.C. As we know the Egyptian Civilisation is the oldest known human civilisation and came into existence 4500 years ago. But evidence shows that the Sphinx predated the Egyptians by 8000 years. So who built the Damn thing? For more reading on the topic go to http://jcolavito.tripod.com/lostcivilizations/id17.html

Let's take 'The Bible' as exhibit number 2. It has long been discussed that the Bible contains evidence of our ancestor's interacting with 'Aliens'. I won't go into the details here but for more reading check out this page: http://www.doomsdayguide.org/UFO/ufo_aliens_in_the_bible.htm Gives you something to think about doesn't it?

I haven't even begun to mention Stonehenge or the crop circles or any of the other anomalous objects and sightings that have been in place or observed probably before the advent of fire. I'm not trying to convince the skeptics of my point of view, just detailing a small portion of the evidence and hoping that people would open their narrow minds and let go of their narcissism of thinking that this universe which contains hundreds of billions of stars could be generous enough to have us humans as it's only hosts. Time to let go of our egocentric 'God created us in his self-image' attitude and embrace the facts as they stand before us.
