Have you ever wondered when people use the term innocent bystander, it is often thought that if you are a bystander, if you are in the area where there is unrest or a disturbance or any kind of confrontation, that if you are so innocent you would not be there but until one is personally involved as an innocent bystander you have no idea what the expression refers to. In the Spirit world there are light or good Spirits, there are dark not so good Spirits, bad Spirits. These dark Spirits try to lead you off the good path, the good road, the straight road. They offer up things to put into your body, drugs, alcohol, smoke, the types of food even that is not good, like poison to one's body also there are times when the good Spirit, the light Spirit even maybe a member of the Council maybe the entire Council and Grandfather feel that an attitude adjustment is necessary so they go to work. Your friends, this individuals loved ones, people that care do not know if it is dark Spirits, bad Spirits or good Spirits that is causing this individual to react like the pet has been injured. You go to that pets side he will bite you not because he does not love you but because he hurts same as with humans, humans lash out, humans bite, theoretically humans hurt, lash out with their tongue maybe lash out with closed fist maybe even weapon of war because they are hurting not because they do not love you anymore. Those of us close, close to that individual that maybe these Spirits are adjusting their attitude or maybe the Dark Spirits have got them into drugs or on alcohol slashing their guts, driving spears, arrow points into their bodies, putting mud and quicksand into their head where their brain is supposed to be whirling them around in a circle in a twisting wind, a whirling wind so confused they do not know which way is even up let alone North or South, East or West or down even. They could fall and do not know which way they are falling.

We as innocent bystanders, innocent bystanders, we bystand because we love that individual, brother, husband, wife,

mother, father, whatever, friend maybe. We are bystanders because we love that individual and we do not want them hurting so subsequently one of these arrows meant for that individual, arrow being a figure of speech you know, hurt of some kind, lance, figure of speech maybe this arrow or this lance meant for this individual being tempted by this black, dark Spirit or having their attitude adjusted because maybe they lied to Grandfather the Great Spirit, maybe lied to the Council, maybe lied to Grandfather, to the Council and someone close to them and they are being punished. But when they get punished and they hurt, we hurt, when they get arrow points in the heart we feel arrow points in our heart, when they cry we cry and sometimes they are so confused they bite, they lash out, cut with their tongue, cut with their actions, lash out maybe with their fist with an open or closed hand, with a word maybe a volley of words. Then our guts get strewn around the ground, our red ink spills, the salt tears flowing down the cheeks of our face like a waterfall. We try to remember sweet tears, we try to remember good things with this individual, it makes no difference whether it is dark Spirit or good Spirit whether it is the Council making an attitude adjustment or whether it is the black Spirit trying to take this loved one of our Soul and Spirit, enter his body, mind, his heart, we do not know and they do not either.

They just know they are hurting so with the pet that is hurt, they bite, they bite hard, bite with tongue, bite with ugly words, bite with closed fist, they run away, refuse to talk, refuse to communicate Spirit to Spirit, as the humans say, Look me in the eye, I can tell if you are speaking lies or speaking the truth. They will not look you in the eye, sometimes disappear, we look, we look, we look. Somehow Spirit has camouflaged them, made them invisible to our eyes whether we are looking at them, for them or to them through the eye of our Spirit or the eye of our flesh.

Maybe we are not supposed to see them, maybe we are not supposed to save them from this attitude adjustment or maybe black Spirit has got hold of them so tight, got them in the bottle, got them at the end of that white powder. We don't know, we just have to back off I guess, back off and let them know, let the one that we love know that they can come to us, we are available, surely they have good sense enough to give us a call on this modern instrument called the telephone, surely they know where our abode is, teepee, wigwam, hogan, round house, apartment, walk up, townhouse, condo, whatever in modern world lots of names for an abode. We have a telephone, we have a pager, we have beepers, we say why doesn't this person contact us, why doesn't this one know that we love them, could be that they need an attitude adjustment and Grandfather and the Council are adjusting their attitude and that is why they are not allowed to get our message.

Love does not go out like the light when you walk over to the wall and flip the switch, if they loved us yesterday they love us today, surely if we love them yesterday and we love them today and we are concerned, we surely have not flipped off the switch so we got to back off, back off and let Grandfather and the Council do this attitude adjustment. Put out power from our Spirit in case this loved one of ours is under the spell of black dark Spirit trying to destroy him. When we don't know it is confusing, we pace the floor, we lose sleep, we get sick to our stomach from lack of food, eating the wrong thing, eating too fast. We try to be at our abode if this loved one gives us a little call or comes by, breaks away from black Spirit, dark Spirit or if he is released from the Council. He has someplace to go, they know that, they know we love them, they know we are here wherever we might be, they know where to find us. Now if love has just ceased and they did walk over to that wall and they did flip that switch and the light has gone out what are we going to do about that, nothing. The only thing we can do is to keep loving them but we cannot rip our own guts out, the guts have already been ripped out of our body, the salt tears are already streaming down our face, the red blood has already been spilled from the depths of our Spirit. We did not flip off any switches, we did not leave, we did not go anywhere, we are still where they left us when last they loved us, so what to do, back off.

It is like an old, old expression about a little bird, the little bird was in a cage and they say you want to find out if this little bird loves you, you let that little bird go, you let that little bird out of that cage, that little bird might go out and fly around a little bit, check out and see what he has been missing but if that little bird loves you the little bird will come back. So it is a good story huh, good story about little bird and humans, humans and Spirits. If a Spirit loves you the Spirit will return to your side, if the human loves you they will return to your side so you just have to let go for the present. As with that little bird they will come back, come home, the only thing we can do is go to Grandfather, go to the Council, go to the Medicine Men, the Holy Men, the Great Warriors who have gone before us, they know how much we love this human or maybe this little dog, little old cat or little pet, creature, critter that has disappeared. We don't know where they are at maybe they don't know where they are at. The only thing we can do is go to the Council, go to Grandfather, get down on our knees, truly, truly get on your knees and say Grandfather, Council, we would like this whatever it is that is lost, we wish them back, we don't want to be selfish, if you took them because you need them then we don't want to be selfish because they are yours to take, you only lend things to us to love, we realize that, love you give to us to give to others but if this individual, this pet, this loved one was just on loan and you have taken them back we would really appreciate a sign. If the black Spirits, the dark Spirits are trying to take this creation of the Heavens from us or from you we all need to gather up spiritual forces and fight back. The way we fight back is to let black forces, dark forces know, let dark Spirits know that there is more love for this creature of the Heavens than what black Spirit has power. We take them back, we take them away from dark Spirit. If all of us hold hands maybe not physically but mentally and spiritually of the soul, hold hands, look up into the Heavens say Great Spirit, Grandfather, Holy Men, Medicine Men, Great Warriors who have gone before us and with whom someday we wish to sit, all members and all peoples of the Village, of the Heavenly Village, let's all gather hands, gather Souls, gather Spirits.

Spiritually fight for this one we love.

(E Me Nv) Amen, Ho
