Book 8 – The Wars

1   The Wars

1All men, by their spirit seek knowledge:
2Wise men seek knowledge of great questions:
3Knowledge of the origins of ancestors;
4Knowledge of the universe and dreaming;
5Knowledge of the meaning and the great creator spirit.
6Great men seek knowledge of good questions:
7Knowledge of good character and skill;
8Knowledge to protect and serve family;
9Knowledge to help and support community.
10Lesser men seek knowledge for itself:
11Knowledge to appease and influence;
12Knowledge to gain advantage;
13Knowledge for control and power.
14The Grey Star People did plant a seed,
15Within the mind of our Second Ancestors and the White People:
16The Greys did not let our second ancestors communicate in groups,
17The Greys did not permit our second ancestors to have easy water or food;
18The Grey let our Second Ancestors build stone circles as homes,
19That they may become attached to property and possessions;
20That they could be controlled by threatening to take away their home and land.
21So our second ancestors became dependent on the Greys for survival;
22So our second ancestors for a time forgot their spirit;
23Our Second Ancestors worshiped the Greys as gods.
24The gift of Second Law from the sacred visitors,
25Did seek to exorcise this Grey mind from our Second Ancestors:
26That all are equal before the law;
27That all property be shared;
28That rights be honored;
29That no man or woman be a god.
30The seed and illness of the Grey mind be stronger in some,
31Who did willingly breach the law.
32Lesser men did seek knowledge for itself:
33They used knowledge of Law and Yapa to win influence;
34They used knowledge of ancestors and spirit to gain advantage;
35They manipulated knowledge of dreaming to claim magic and powers.
36To claim to be gods;
37To demand worship;
38To falsely proclaim themselves as saviors.
39These men and women did claim war and aggression against others:
40The Wars of Knowledge;
41The Wars of Magic;
42The Wars of Spirit;
43The Wars of People.
44Many people were killed;
45Many innocents were sacrificed in false ceremony;
46Many people feared magic and spells;
47Many evil spirits were created from confused minds;
48All because of the illness of the mind of the Grey Star People.
