Ghost Dance with My Ancestors

Ok. I Am grounded in. Shaker helped Me to see from a distance what was right here inside Me, means the feel of Me is almost purified. Ancestors told Me I'm doing good "You know how to get thru this shaky ground. Let Our bells guide You thru and out to the other side. Have no fear for You know the way. This walk has been done before." And i see the ghosts of My lineage go before Me clearing the way up ahead from where We all are in present time, gone from a way far deep way back further than the place We know to. What We call eternal home to Us We find, Ancients sung God's wherein We become from...
Where the wisdom I come from is all I needed to figured Me Out and I'm grounded. I was too centered on the Wash in Me for attunement of the Whashut way. I remembered last Year Ancestors told Me this vision that I now understand it. Right now I'm seeing My way out of a Life that is not from and for My resilient vibrant Life that was always meant from Me. Not this... the shiapo's man made laws.
Ancestors told Me how to do it and I practiced the teachings that brought back to Me floods of knowing by bathing Me in from My Lifetime's upbringing. I spent time in Myself for all of last year searching My way of Life to understand the answers I seek.
It was hard for Me, You see... to leave the unseen realms where I Am at home to see Me as MeSelf in the others there Who leads Me. I knew this day would come for Me because I've already been prepared to lead the way .... I must go now. The Children are waiting to show Me the way I must lead Them.
And I knew it was at My risk if I didn't go back home to My People.
Staying in the upper realms is an absence of My Spirit presence in the moment that I'm supposed to be Living by My God given gift of Life on Earth I'm meant Live. And I might not have any body to go back to.
So They gently reminded Me of this. And sent Me back, fully awake from the Spiritual cleansing Washut sung by My Ancestors way of Life. Handed to the Shaker Church walk I'm beholden to go with the powerful clanging bells and long night candle lit We keep to stepping. We marched the path walked before I see all I could see in the in between of Heaven and Earth. I'm then lifted by all My Blood and drift Me full force in a large big loud tremble to shout We quake right into My wake, I'm back to body. I'm here in My home from heaven to earth.
I Am in clear instructions how to do it. I don't need AnyBody but Mine. Because I Am not alone in AnyOne. Everyone's right here beside Me. Doing the Loving work it takes..... side by side relentlessly We never let up. Because now, it's time to clean up behind the battle of the war We are winning to hold onto Ourselves thru a chosen People way of Life, so that We fight like this ways now. It's not to survive it's to revive now.
Let Love in grace's gratitude for another day Lived and Let Us clean Ourselves and One Another up. Because We're thankful We still are here. Still fighting the good fight We always been eternal for We in the win now. We all know the way even more and it's been passed down from one Generation to the next... by way of Loving healing thoughts creates the hands to Love back to strength. And those of Us Who can stand up and help... get up. We need You.... Your Life matters too. Let's not be afraid of One Another. For We know We're One in the same because We recognize that is God's gift in Our creation. We each know We are on this path Together. As We know it is... because We choose for Ourselves to walk this path as chosen One's birthright knowledge to gain. As We always did in those steps We take in a day and walked this path as truth We know to Live by. Because You are a testament to the ways of the Unwritten Laws We keep to carry Us on further in the way We Live Our Life by. This is how We know what Our responsibilities are that keeps the truth in the laws We Live by. Even up into this day We stand here. And They remind Me of My point of origin, will never be too far from You when all You need to know is it's already in Me.
So They helped Me back up to My feet and off I must go to care Love and take share in My true responsibility now. To My Parents Grandparents and Our most precious resource #OurChildrenWeKeep
