Today we want to look at a corruption of all NATURE RELIGIONS but especially as regards NATIVE AMERICAN religion and language. All nature religions for thousands of years placed LAND/WATER/ANIMALS in the same realm as HUMANS. Every aspect of life was centered on interactions between HUMANS and LIVING THINGS. What we see today in global banking 1% FAKE NEWS writing is an every increasing marginalization of that very concept HUMANS AND LIVING THINGS as NATURE RELIGION.
"Sweat lodges are typically used for a ritual preparation, like before a hunt, or nowadays, people might do it before a wedding or dance or some kind of community event as a way of putting yourself in balance," he said'.
The emphasis upon SUPERNATURAL is KING-----so, story-telling and historical academic writing is placing more and more emphasis on NATIVE AMERICAN NATURE RELIGION being connected to SUPERNATURAL.
In discussing NATIVE AMERICAN public policy today we hear nothing of ENVIRONMENTALISM/EARTH and we hear lots of global banking 1% FADS like experiencing the SUPERNATURAL with mind-altering drugs or sweat lodges.

When thinking about NATURE RELIGIONS like NATIVE AMERICANS today we see so much history surrounding this idea of SWEAT LODGES as used for SUPERNATURAL goals. These stories are hundreds of years old because they are written by EUROPEANS and not natives.
STEAM BATHING is sauna-------we don't go to sauna to HALLUCINATE-----we go sauna to cleanse skin --------it's simply medicinal. So, religion and spirituality in NATIVE AMERICANS is steeped in REAL NATURAL ELEMENTS.
WHY THE NEED TO INTERJECT SUPER-NATURAL GOALS INTO COMMON MEDICINAL RITUAL?
Steam Bathing History: The Native American Sweat Lodges and Temazcals
Steam Bathing: A Journey through the Ages continues with part 3:
the Sweat Lodges and the Temazcals of the Native Americans.
If you are new to this series, be sure to check out Steam Bathing: A Journey Through the Ages, which introduces the journey, and Steam Bathing History With the Ancient Greeks and Romans.
While the mighty Roman empire was rising in one corner of the globe, the Mayans were creating a comparable society in another. The two empires shared many common interests including the arts, sciences and astronomy. Both also shared a culture of sweat bathing.
The Mayans were not the only indigenous Americans to value the sweat bath. From as far north as Alaska, Native Americans used sweat baths to not only keep the body clean, but to cure illness, revitalize themselves, and to forge a cultural identity.
Native American Sweat Lodges Served Not Just to Clean, But Also to Heal
No matter where the sweat baths were constructed and how they were heated, the intent was similar. Sweat lodges were used to heal a variety of medical conditions, and to help women both before and after giving birth.
The traditions surrounding the sweat lodges depended, of course, on the region. The Mayan and Aztec culture recognized Temzcalteci as goddess of the sweat bath.
Sahagun said that “this goddess was the goddess of medicine and of medicinal herbs; she was adored by doctors and surgeons, and bleeders, and also by midwives.”
Entering into the temazcal was considered analogous to entering the goddess’ womb, a dark, warm, humid space.
The North American sweat lodge was often situated to face the East, where Father Sun would be welcomed with the dawning of each new day. A sweat lodge peace pipe or chanunpa would be smoked, so that the tobacco would carry any request you might have to the gods.

NATIVE LANGUAGE WAS ORAL AND PICTURE/SYMBOL.
Bear, feather, eagle and arrow are some of the well-known Native American symbols.
The symbols usually signified qualities that were adored by these tribes.

Last Updated: Mar 26, 2018
Native American symbols were a medium of expression for these tribal people. Although Native Americans had their own language, these symbols were integral part of their culture, that would often convey a message. A group of these ancient symbols and designs, would often tell a story that had a deeper meaning and a strong moral message.
Native American Symbols
Bear
The bear is a gigantic beast that simply does not fear anyone. The mother bear can wage a war with the strongest of creatures on Earth to save her cubs. It is a ferocious animal and its mere presence can bring fear in the minds of its enemy. No wonder, in Native America, it symbolizes power, protection and courage. The tribes that were named as 'bear' were considered to be extremely courageous and brave.
Wolf
People having complete knowledge about ancient symbols that depict culture of Native American, must be knowing that wolf stands for shrewdness and intelligence. The wolf has a unique ability to hunt its prey and create its own habitat. Its intellectual capacity is extremely high. This can be understood from the fact that it communicates correctly to its master, through bodily movements. Therefore, the symbol of wolf in this ancient culture also indicates communication.
Eagle
Also referred to as 'masters of the sky', eagles are equipped with a sharp eyesight that can see its prey from a long distance. In fact their eyesight is 4-5 times more powerful and sharp than that of humans. Due to its excellent vision, eagle in the Native American culture represents keen eyesight.
Buffalo
Buffalo was revered by these people, mainly because, it gave them food in the form of milk and clothing that was made from its skin. That is why it buffalo was a sacred animal for the tribe, as it fulfilled their basic needs. No wonder, they associated the meaning of this symbol with generosity.
Dancer
The dancer symbol represented an occasion of festivity and celebration. The symbol was an expression of a joyous event. For other tribes, it meant a ritual dance performed for a religious ceremony. Some of the most popular dances that formed an integral part of their religious ceremonies are Hoop dance, Scalp dance and Buffalo dance.
Rain Cloud
The arrival of rain cloud is a good sign for the farmers as it is an indication of falling of rain. Proper rainfall means a better crop production, which would bring prosperity to the farmers and the land. Hence, Native Americans associated rain cloud with good prospects.
The cloud, rain and lightning were regarded as symbols for love. Native American love was not restricted to love between 2 opposite genders. They also had immense respect and love for nature (clouds, trees, mountains). Cloud and rain made the land fertile and productive, ensuring better yield of crops. They believed that nature bestowed gifts such as fertility to the land, due to their nature loving attitude.
Feathers
The leader of a Native American tribe used to wear feathers, which symbolized his command over his tribe. No one among the tribe had the authority to disobey the order of their leader. Wearing or giving feathers was considered as a mark of honor and respect.
Dog
The dog is the most faithful animal that remains loyal and protects its master during his good and bad times. That is why Native Americans considered dog a symbol of loyalty and protection.
Turtle
The symbol turtle holds a lot of mythological significance in the Native American culture. The legend has it that when the whole world was under water, a turtle named Earth Diver went all the way down, at the bottom of the ocean. From the depth of the ocean the turtle brought a ball of mud that had magical powers. This mud was then used by the Creator to make the hills, mountains and other landforms. No wonder, the turtle symbol has been associated with Mother Earth.
As the turtles can easily survive up to 150 years, the symbol also signifies a healthy long lifespan. On the other hand, the tough shell of the turtle is a symbol of protection as it can withstand the rigors of harsh weather.
Sun
The sun symbol is considered as a symbol of growth as the sun gives light and heat that helps to cultivate crops and sustain life on earth. The sun's rays represented the main directions North, East, West and South. The Native Americans had the highest regard for the sun and as a mark of respect they performed the sun dance.
Arrow
Native Americans took the help of bow and arrow for hunting purposes, as well as to protect their kids from wild animals. This was one tool that they completely relied upon in protecting themselves from their enemies. Hence, the arrow symbol represented protection.
Deer Marks
Hunting was the main source of livelihood for Native Americans. They often hunted deer to obtain food and clothing. Hence, deer marks indicated that there is a conducive environment for hunting. In other words, there is enough prey to hunt and one would not go home empty-handed. As deer hunting helped these tribal people to meet their basic necessities, they also considered it as a symbol of shelter and safety.

Algonquin American Indian Tribe Beliefs
The Algonquin people are Native Americans who speak the Algonquin…
This emphasis on MIND-ALTERING SPIRIT TRIPPING comes from a INDO-EUROPEAN influence. Our native Americans knew that losing one's contact with reality could lose one's life. It was not a goal of NATIVE NATURE religion.
NATIVE LANGUAGE WAS ORAL AND PICTURE/SYMBOL.
In this article written by a global banking 1% INVESTMENT BANKER MEDIA OUTLET AS COMMONER CORE------shows how our REAL NATIVE AMERICAN history has become so corrupted over several centuries of European colonization that we don't see anything REAL in this history and language.
NATIVE AMERICAN VISION QUESTS mirrored our Christian vision quests of FASTING.
You don't necessarily need substances. If you starve yourself you could start hallucinating like Jesus when he needed some time alone in the desert.
This is NATIVE AMERICAN NATURE RELIGION---TOTALLY NATURAL while below we see the EUROPEAN corruption of these native rituals bringing PHARMA into what was described as A NATIVE AMERICAN SPIRITUAL ritual.
Along with the both spiritually and literarily revered Peyote (mescaline), the infamous Tabernanthe Iboga (ibogaine) is perhaps the most potent and venerated vision-inducing hallucinogen.
Though a relative rarity in the states, due both to its legal status and its propensity for mind-blowingly intense journeys, the plant, and occasionally its derivatives can be obtained outside of its traditional use by the Bwiti tribe of South-Africa. The intoxication induced by ibogaine induction is long-lasting and produces vivid 'true hallucinations'. It is currently being researched for its proposed use as a successful treatment for addiction, though the exact mechanism of action is still widely debated. Perhaps the most well-versed literary scholar, both in experience and education, is Daniel Pinchbeck, whose travel found him deep in ibogaine intoxication under the social control of the Bwiti tribe. See both "Breaking Open The Head" and "2012" for experiences and historical description. (He notes in the later text that a common explanation for the rarity of ibogaine in the 'black market' is the penchant of the iboga-intoxication for creating in addicts a disillusion and disgust for their former chemical allies.) As for seeing into another dimension, iboga has been used primarily to induce vivid spiritual contact marked by fully visceral communication with the 'other dimension'. A common hallucination (as jungles in ayahuasca...) is the appearance of a literal window of vision into another world, or an animation of the past or present within the physical picture frame. The intoxication is not to be taken lightly, as it has been known to cause distinct psychological impact in those under its spell, though it sounds like You may be prepared for the most confronting experience possible...

For West Africans and Native Americans, religion is not seen as something that is set apart at a certain time or is conducted a certain way. Religion and lifestyle are woven together, therefore religion and beliefs are a lifestyle and the lifestyle is the religion and belief. In both groups there is a direct and deep relationship between the human being and the supernatural beings. I thought it was very interesting that I could see the similarities between Native American religions and African religions'.
GENETICALLY MODIFIED whether plant, animal, or HUMAN is not spirituality embraced by ANY human culture or religion.

The Native Americans embodied the environment'.
The Cultural Differences in Native Americans and European Americans
Billy McCarley - Updated June 27, 2018
The cultural differences between Native Americans and European Americans caused frequent clashes that often led to destruction of land and people. These differences include religious practices and ruling practices, among others. Unfortunately, these cultural differences resulted in blood shed during war or captivity, which ultimately forced the Native Americans to be assimilated into European culture or migrate west to reservations.
Ruling Classes
Upon arrival to the New World, the European Americans adhered to a governmental monarchy, yet the Native Americans held to a tribal form of government. These structures were ingrained into each society so that the very practice was one of deep cultural practice. The Europeans believed in an absolute commitment to the crown of England. However, the Native Americans devoted themselves to each other and had no central ruler. Nonetheless, they did have many chiefs among the tribal chiefdoms that regulated relations among the tribal members.
Relationship to Nature
The Native Americans embodied the environment. Although they hunted and farmed the lands, they rarely stripped the land of resources. In addition, Native Americans implemented forest burning for regrowth and limited hunting in areas where animal reserves were depleted. On the other hand, the Europeans practiced environmental depletion by cutting trees in large numbers, damming streams for water reserves and killing any and all animals in a wasteful manner. The Native Americans were spiritually connected to the land and practiced culturally distinct methods to stay one with the land. The Europeans, on the other hand, saw the land as an unending right.
Spiritual Beliefs
The Native Americans worshiped sun gods, corn gods and nature spirits of birds, bears and wolves. The Native Americans were considered barbarous by the Europeans because they worshiped wooden images or carved and painted images. The Europeans came as messengers from God to convert the Natives to Christianity, as they saw it. Spanish missions converted many Natives. However, those who would not convert were killed or imprisoned. Later in the 19th century, most all Native Americans were forced onto reservations because of their religious differences.
Gender Differences
Native American women held upstanding positions among the tribes. The Cherokee women ruled and controlled certain factions within the tribe, with many making important economic decisions for the entire tribe. On the other hand, Europeans subjected their women to childbirth and house chores only. When the Europeans saw that Native American women were strong willed and spirited, they fought against the tribal nations to suppress the Native cultures into submission.
___________________________________________
We show below the morphing of even the definition of transhumanism. We were told early on it was A MANIFESTO OF BENEVOLENCE AND COMPASSION for all humanity. The TRANSFORMATIVE nature of this RELIGION was sold as product of our AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT---I AM MAN AND WOMAN.
Was the goals of AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT really science controlling EVERYTHING? We think not. The AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT was steeped in MORAL AND ETHICAL HUMANIST PHILOSOPHY. RE-creating humans for BLIND AMBITION -----fails to meet this benevolence and compassion.
'Today, transhumanism is considered a cultural extension of humanism, a philosophical movement that promotes a manifesto of benevolence and compassion for all of humanity (Bostrom, 2003)'.
'Kant on human nature
To better understand Kant’s suggestion that genetic engineering would be contrary to the aims of Nature it will be instructive to briefly consider his theory of human nature'.
When I hear on THE NETWORK ----THERE IS NO STOPPING THIS------most on THE NETWORK today are global banking 5% freemason/Greek players MOVING FORWARD what started as ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE-----simply breaking down nation-states to create a consolidation of humanity. NEVER at any point early on was this mention of TRANSHUMANISM.
OUR NATIVE AMERICANS are no doubt tired of seeing their CULTURAL values corrupted.
AVATAR was deliberately made to intersect our NATURE RELIGIONS and our TRIBAL cultures.
AVATAR: An Exercise in Animism and Transhumanism!
December 28, 2009 / lamarzulli
My wife and I saw two great movies over the weekend and I’ll focus on one of them here today as I believe it just another in a long line of “propaganda” to condition the masses to the coming great deception!
The movie was AVATAR. First the good stuff. Avatar is probably the most ambitious film in Director James Cameron’s portfolio. Millions were spent on achieving a realistic other-world experience that film-goers venture into, by using special 3-D glasses. Cameron has achieved his vision, of that there is no doubt. The visual effects are an eye-popping, stunning, breathtaking, tapestry, that creates an alien world that transfixed and transported me into the “fictional dream” of Avatar. I won’t go into the plot and characters, as others have covered this aspect of it, but instead will focus on what I believe are the blatant promulgation of Cameron’s world view.
First off, the movie is, Dances With Wolves, set on another planet. There are so many similarities in that respect it’s hard not miss the connection. There is even one place where the main character warns the “chief,” of the indigenous people, that many “sky people” will come in the future. This echoes exactly what Jeff Dunbar tells the Sioux Indians in Dance with Wolves. But now onto the centrality of Cameron’s world-view. Like the recent film District 9, the movie explores the concept of what is human. What is it that makes us human? What are we? When dissecting the human brain it becomes apparent that there is no observer. There is no seat where consciousness resides. No place that we can point to as where this mysterious interface takes place, and yet we know that it does. When a person dies this interface between spirit, soul and body is broken and the body is left behind and becomes a lifeless shell. This is pushes us into the realm of the supernatural to look for answers. Cameron tells us that we are all connected, every tree, plant, shrub and insect are all part of the tapestry of life. While I agree that all life is, in a sense scared, the idea that we are connected is Animism and I don’t adhere to that.
Here is a definition: Animism
(from Latin anima (soul, life)Segal, p. 14 ) is a philosophical, religious or spiritual idea that souls or spirits exist not only in humans and animals but also in plants, rocks, natural phenomena such as thunder, geographic features such as mountains or rivers, or other entities.
Once Cameron establishes this he then challenges what makes us uniquely human, as he raises the question of whether our consciousness can be transferred to another life form. In Avatar they achieve this transfer by having the entire village assemble together and under the leadership of the “tribes” Shaman, they sway and chant together as the mysterious, impersonal life force, called Aiwa, somehow moves the spirit from the films human protagonist, to his other body, his genetically manufactured AVATAR body, which is taller and stronger than his human one. In the real world, here on planet earth, Shamans and witch doctors, practice this same form of shape-shifting and they use drugs to establish an altered stated of consciousness, to achieve it. I believe that when this occurs a demonic entity then takes possession of the person. While Cameron’s movie is fiction it pushes us to accept the concept of Trans-humanism. From my point of view this is precisely what the Nephilim were thousands of years ago and now, in these last days we are being spoon-fed the same concepts. Does Avatar set us up to accept what Dr. Jacob’s and others who have studied and investigated the UFO phenomena warn us about, the creation a human/alien hybrid that will integrate with us? Are these hybrids human? Do they have souls? In closing, I believe that we are created in God’s image. We are unique in the universe in that respect. We are spirit beings that are encased in the shell of a human body and that is a great mystery.
"Sweat lodges are typically used for a ritual preparation, like before a hunt, or nowadays, people might do it before a wedding or dance or some kind of community event as a way of putting yourself in balance," he said'.
The emphasis upon SUPERNATURAL is KING-----so, story-telling and historical academic writing is placing more and more emphasis on NATIVE AMERICAN NATURE RELIGION being connected to SUPERNATURAL.
In discussing NATIVE AMERICAN public policy today we hear nothing of ENVIRONMENTALISM/EARTH and we hear lots of global banking 1% FADS like experiencing the SUPERNATURAL with mind-altering drugs or sweat lodges.

When thinking about NATURE RELIGIONS like NATIVE AMERICANS today we see so much history surrounding this idea of SWEAT LODGES as used for SUPERNATURAL goals. These stories are hundreds of years old because they are written by EUROPEANS and not natives.
STEAM BATHING is sauna-------we don't go to sauna to HALLUCINATE-----we go sauna to cleanse skin --------it's simply medicinal. So, religion and spirituality in NATIVE AMERICANS is steeped in REAL NATURAL ELEMENTS.
WHY THE NEED TO INTERJECT SUPER-NATURAL GOALS INTO COMMON MEDICINAL RITUAL?
Steam Bathing History: The Native American Sweat Lodges and Temazcals
Steam Bathing: A Journey through the Ages continues with part 3:
the Sweat Lodges and the Temazcals of the Native Americans.
If you are new to this series, be sure to check out Steam Bathing: A Journey Through the Ages, which introduces the journey, and Steam Bathing History With the Ancient Greeks and Romans.
While the mighty Roman empire was rising in one corner of the globe, the Mayans were creating a comparable society in another. The two empires shared many common interests including the arts, sciences and astronomy. Both also shared a culture of sweat bathing.
The Mayans were not the only indigenous Americans to value the sweat bath. From as far north as Alaska, Native Americans used sweat baths to not only keep the body clean, but to cure illness, revitalize themselves, and to forge a cultural identity.
Native American Sweat Lodges Served Not Just to Clean, But Also to Heal
No matter where the sweat baths were constructed and how they were heated, the intent was similar. Sweat lodges were used to heal a variety of medical conditions, and to help women both before and after giving birth.
The traditions surrounding the sweat lodges depended, of course, on the region. The Mayan and Aztec culture recognized Temzcalteci as goddess of the sweat bath.
Sahagun said that “this goddess was the goddess of medicine and of medicinal herbs; she was adored by doctors and surgeons, and bleeders, and also by midwives.”
Entering into the temazcal was considered analogous to entering the goddess’ womb, a dark, warm, humid space.
The North American sweat lodge was often situated to face the East, where Father Sun would be welcomed with the dawning of each new day. A sweat lodge peace pipe or chanunpa would be smoked, so that the tobacco would carry any request you might have to the gods.

NATIVE LANGUAGE WAS ORAL AND PICTURE/SYMBOL.
Bear, feather, eagle and arrow are some of the well-known Native American symbols.
The symbols usually signified qualities that were adored by these tribes.
Nicks J
Last Updated: Mar 26, 2018
Native American symbols were a medium of expression for these tribal people. Although Native Americans had their own language, these symbols were integral part of their culture, that would often convey a message. A group of these ancient symbols and designs, would often tell a story that had a deeper meaning and a strong moral message.
Native American Symbols
Bear
The bear is a gigantic beast that simply does not fear anyone. The mother bear can wage a war with the strongest of creatures on Earth to save her cubs. It is a ferocious animal and its mere presence can bring fear in the minds of its enemy. No wonder, in Native America, it symbolizes power, protection and courage. The tribes that were named as 'bear' were considered to be extremely courageous and brave.
Wolf
People having complete knowledge about ancient symbols that depict culture of Native American, must be knowing that wolf stands for shrewdness and intelligence. The wolf has a unique ability to hunt its prey and create its own habitat. Its intellectual capacity is extremely high. This can be understood from the fact that it communicates correctly to its master, through bodily movements. Therefore, the symbol of wolf in this ancient culture also indicates communication.
Eagle
Also referred to as 'masters of the sky', eagles are equipped with a sharp eyesight that can see its prey from a long distance. In fact their eyesight is 4-5 times more powerful and sharp than that of humans. Due to its excellent vision, eagle in the Native American culture represents keen eyesight.
Buffalo
Buffalo was revered by these people, mainly because, it gave them food in the form of milk and clothing that was made from its skin. That is why it buffalo was a sacred animal for the tribe, as it fulfilled their basic needs. No wonder, they associated the meaning of this symbol with generosity.
Dancer
The dancer symbol represented an occasion of festivity and celebration. The symbol was an expression of a joyous event. For other tribes, it meant a ritual dance performed for a religious ceremony. Some of the most popular dances that formed an integral part of their religious ceremonies are Hoop dance, Scalp dance and Buffalo dance.
Rain Cloud
The arrival of rain cloud is a good sign for the farmers as it is an indication of falling of rain. Proper rainfall means a better crop production, which would bring prosperity to the farmers and the land. Hence, Native Americans associated rain cloud with good prospects.
The cloud, rain and lightning were regarded as symbols for love. Native American love was not restricted to love between 2 opposite genders. They also had immense respect and love for nature (clouds, trees, mountains). Cloud and rain made the land fertile and productive, ensuring better yield of crops. They believed that nature bestowed gifts such as fertility to the land, due to their nature loving attitude.
Feathers
The leader of a Native American tribe used to wear feathers, which symbolized his command over his tribe. No one among the tribe had the authority to disobey the order of their leader. Wearing or giving feathers was considered as a mark of honor and respect.
Dog
The dog is the most faithful animal that remains loyal and protects its master during his good and bad times. That is why Native Americans considered dog a symbol of loyalty and protection.
Turtle
The symbol turtle holds a lot of mythological significance in the Native American culture. The legend has it that when the whole world was under water, a turtle named Earth Diver went all the way down, at the bottom of the ocean. From the depth of the ocean the turtle brought a ball of mud that had magical powers. This mud was then used by the Creator to make the hills, mountains and other landforms. No wonder, the turtle symbol has been associated with Mother Earth.
As the turtles can easily survive up to 150 years, the symbol also signifies a healthy long lifespan. On the other hand, the tough shell of the turtle is a symbol of protection as it can withstand the rigors of harsh weather.
Sun
The sun symbol is considered as a symbol of growth as the sun gives light and heat that helps to cultivate crops and sustain life on earth. The sun's rays represented the main directions North, East, West and South. The Native Americans had the highest regard for the sun and as a mark of respect they performed the sun dance.
Arrow
Native Americans took the help of bow and arrow for hunting purposes, as well as to protect their kids from wild animals. This was one tool that they completely relied upon in protecting themselves from their enemies. Hence, the arrow symbol represented protection.
Deer Marks
Hunting was the main source of livelihood for Native Americans. They often hunted deer to obtain food and clothing. Hence, deer marks indicated that there is a conducive environment for hunting. In other words, there is enough prey to hunt and one would not go home empty-handed. As deer hunting helped these tribal people to meet their basic necessities, they also considered it as a symbol of shelter and safety.

Perhaps the most well-versed literary scholar, both in experience and education, is Daniel Pinchbeck, whose travel found him deep in ibogaine intoxication under the social control of the Bwiti tribe. See both "Breaking Open The Head" and "2012" for experiences and historical description. (He notes in the later text that a common explanation for the rarity of ibogaine in the 'black market' is the penchant of the iboga-intoxication for creating in addicts a disillusion and disgust for their former chemical allies.) As for seeing into another dimension, iboga has been used primarily to induce vivid spiritual contact marked by fully visceral communication with the 'other dimension'. A common hallucination (as jungles in ayahuasca...) is the appearance of a literal window of vision into another world, or an animation of the past or present within the physical picture frame.

For West Africans and Native Americans, religion is not seen as something that is set apart at a certain time or is conducted a certain way. Religion and lifestyle are woven together, therefore religion and beliefs are a lifestyle and the lifestyle is the religion and belief. In both groups there is a direct and deep relationship between the human being and the supernatural beings. I thought it was very interesting that I could see the similarities between Native American religions and African religions'.
GENETICALLY MODIFIED whether plant, animal, or HUMAN is not spirituality embraced by ANY human culture or religion.

The Cultural Differences in Native Americans and European Americans
Billy McCarley - Updated June 27, 2018
The cultural differences between Native Americans and European Americans caused frequent clashes that often led to destruction of land and people. These differences include religious practices and ruling practices, among others. Unfortunately, these cultural differences resulted in blood shed during war or captivity, which ultimately forced the Native Americans to be assimilated into European culture or migrate west to reservations.
Ruling Classes
Upon arrival to the New World, the European Americans adhered to a governmental monarchy, yet the Native Americans held to a tribal form of government. These structures were ingrained into each society so that the very practice was one of deep cultural practice. The Europeans believed in an absolute commitment to the crown of England. However, the Native Americans devoted themselves to each other and had no central ruler. Nonetheless, they did have many chiefs among the tribal chiefdoms that regulated relations among the tribal members.
Relationship to Nature
The Native Americans embodied the environment. Although they hunted and farmed the lands, they rarely stripped the land of resources. In addition, Native Americans implemented forest burning for regrowth and limited hunting in areas where animal reserves were depleted. On the other hand, the Europeans practiced environmental depletion by cutting trees in large numbers, damming streams for water reserves and killing any and all animals in a wasteful manner. The Native Americans were spiritually connected to the land and practiced culturally distinct methods to stay one with the land. The Europeans, on the other hand, saw the land as an unending right.
Spiritual Beliefs
The Native Americans worshiped sun gods, corn gods and nature spirits of birds, bears and wolves. The Native Americans were considered barbarous by the Europeans because they worshiped wooden images or carved and painted images. The Europeans came as messengers from God to convert the Natives to Christianity, as they saw it. Spanish missions converted many Natives. However, those who would not convert were killed or imprisoned. Later in the 19th century, most all Native Americans were forced onto reservations because of their religious differences.
Gender Differences
Native American women held upstanding positions among the tribes. The Cherokee women ruled and controlled certain factions within the tribe, with many making important economic decisions for the entire tribe. On the other hand, Europeans subjected their women to childbirth and house chores only. When the Europeans saw that Native American women were strong willed and spirited, they fought against the tribal nations to suppress the Native cultures into submission.

We show below the morphing of even the definition of transhumanism. We were told early on it was A MANIFESTO OF BENEVOLENCE AND COMPASSION for all humanity. The TRANSFORMATIVE nature of this RELIGION was sold as product of our AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT---I AM MAN AND WOMAN.
Was the goals of AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT really science controlling EVERYTHING? We think not. The AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT was steeped in MORAL AND ETHICAL HUMANIST PHILOSOPHY. RE-creating humans for BLIND AMBITION -----fails to meet this benevolence and compassion.
'Today, transhumanism is considered a cultural extension of humanism, a philosophical movement that promotes a manifesto of benevolence and compassion for all of humanity (Bostrom, 2003)'.
'Kant on human nature
To better understand Kant’s suggestion that genetic engineering would be contrary to the aims of Nature it will be instructive to briefly consider his theory of human nature'.
When I hear on THE NETWORK ----THERE IS NO STOPPING THIS------most on THE NETWORK today are global banking 5% freemason/Greek players MOVING FORWARD what started as ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE-----simply breaking down nation-states to create a consolidation of humanity. NEVER at any point early on was this mention of TRANSHUMANISM.
OUR NATIVE AMERICANS are no doubt tired of seeing their CULTURAL values corrupted.
AVATAR was deliberately made to intersect our NATURE RELIGIONS and our TRIBAL cultures.
AVATAR: An Exercise in Animism and Transhumanism!
December 28, 2009 / lamarzulli
My wife and I saw two great movies over the weekend and I’ll focus on one of them here today as I believe it just another in a long line of “propaganda” to condition the masses to the coming great deception!
The movie was AVATAR. First the good stuff. Avatar is probably the most ambitious film in Director James Cameron’s portfolio. Millions were spent on achieving a realistic other-world experience that film-goers venture into, by using special 3-D glasses. Cameron has achieved his vision, of that there is no doubt. The visual effects are an eye-popping, stunning, breathtaking, tapestry, that creates an alien world that transfixed and transported me into the “fictional dream” of Avatar. I won’t go into the plot and characters, as others have covered this aspect of it, but instead will focus on what I believe are the blatant promulgation of Cameron’s world view.
First off, the movie is, Dances With Wolves, set on another planet. There are so many similarities in that respect it’s hard not miss the connection. There is even one place where the main character warns the “chief,” of the indigenous people, that many “sky people” will come in the future. This echoes exactly what Jeff Dunbar tells the Sioux Indians in Dance with Wolves. But now onto the centrality of Cameron’s world-view. Like the recent film District 9, the movie explores the concept of what is human. What is it that makes us human? What are we? When dissecting the human brain it becomes apparent that there is no observer. There is no seat where consciousness resides. No place that we can point to as where this mysterious interface takes place, and yet we know that it does. When a person dies this interface between spirit, soul and body is broken and the body is left behind and becomes a lifeless shell. This is pushes us into the realm of the supernatural to look for answers. Cameron tells us that we are all connected, every tree, plant, shrub and insect are all part of the tapestry of life. While I agree that all life is, in a sense scared, the idea that we are connected is Animism and I don’t adhere to that.
Here is a definition: Animism
(from Latin anima (soul, life)Segal, p. 14 ) is a philosophical, religious or spiritual idea that souls or spirits exist not only in humans and animals but also in plants, rocks, natural phenomena such as thunder, geographic features such as mountains or rivers, or other entities.
Once Cameron establishes this he then challenges what makes us uniquely human, as he raises the question of whether our consciousness can be transferred to another life form. In Avatar they achieve this transfer by having the entire village assemble together and under the leadership of the “tribes” Shaman, they sway and chant together as the mysterious, impersonal life force, called Aiwa, somehow moves the spirit from the films human protagonist, to his other body, his genetically manufactured AVATAR body, which is taller and stronger than his human one. In the real world, here on planet earth, Shamans and witch doctors, practice this same form of shape-shifting and they use drugs to establish an altered stated of consciousness, to achieve it. I believe that when this occurs a demonic entity then takes possession of the person. While Cameron’s movie is fiction it pushes us to accept the concept of Trans-humanism. From my point of view this is precisely what the Nephilim were thousands of years ago and now, in these last days we are being spoon-fed the same concepts. Does Avatar set us up to accept what Dr. Jacob’s and others who have studied and investigated the UFO phenomena warn us about, the creation a human/alien hybrid that will integrate with us? Are these hybrids human? Do they have souls? In closing, I believe that we are created in God’s image. We are unique in the universe in that respect. We are spirit beings that are encased in the shell of a human body and that is a great mystery.
