The Cries of Mankind

A statement by The Grandfather at the beginning of a Teaching: "The Lesson is Timely, Little Brother, because the Cries of Mandkind now is everywhere".

All that day, this statement of The Grandfather, was heavy on my mind. As The Grandfather often did, make statements he wanted me to think about and try to come to my own conclusions, yet he was always there to help me in my puzzlements.

That evening The Grandfather and I were sitting under the Apple Tree in my Grandmothers yard. The Sun was nearing the Western Mountains, The Grandfather spoke.

"Little Brother, I can see there is something heavy in your thoughts".

"Grandfather", I asked. "What is the meaning of, The cries of Mankind now is everywhere?"

Before I relate to you The Grandfather's Story, I must tell you, I have had to add onto this Story to bring it up to the Twenty First Century. The STORY did not change, only TIME has changed.

This Story from my People, "The Riddle of Man", had its beginnings in the mid-thirteen hundreds, upon the arrival of the Europeans. It was many Seasons (years) before these European People arrived in our Lands. We had heard the Stories about these People long before ever seeing them. My People traded with the Mohegan Peoples on the Eastern side of what is today called, the Hudson River. Through different Nations trading with each other (meterial things and Stories) occurrences that were happening with the Peoples in distant Lands were passed on.

The Stories of how these New Peoples took and took from the Native Peoples, they never asked. They just TOOK! They berated, nor acknowledged our Spiritiually, saying their Christian God was the only true God. Yet it was easy for the People to "see", in a colloquial manner of speaking, their words did not reflect their actions.

Generation after Generation, the Cries of Mankind was screaming in our ears.

At the time The Grandfather was telling me this Teaching Story, the Year 1943; the whole World was in turmoil. Hitler and Japan, the Second World War. The turmoil, destruction and the slaughter of many different Peoples and Nations was World wide.

With each Generation the Cries of Mankind were never heard. The so called Indian Wars, the Revolutionary War, the French/Indian War, the removal of all Native Peoples East of the Appalachian Mountains. Thus theTrail of Tears, this experienced by the Cherokee Peoples. The Europeans pushing into the West, displacing Peoples from theirLands. Having no thought, regard or consideration for the Peoples who had lived on that Land for Generations. JUST TAKE! The Civil War, this War between the States, Brother killing Brother.

It would take volumes to relate here all of the Cries of the Native Peoples of these Lands called the Americas and other Pepoles World wide. The Cries of Mankind!

How sad this Human Race. Historically measuring our Time by Wars. With statements like, post or pre World War Two and all of the other Wars.

The Generation of the Spanish/American War, the Generation of the First World War. (the War that was SUPPOSED to end all Wars) The Generation of the Second World War, (my generation) the Generation of the Korean Conflict, (also my Generation, never declaired a War yet people died, a Policing Action) the Generation of the Viet Nam War (also my Generation) and the many smaller conflicts and Wars happening all over this Earth.

With each Generation bringing greater destructive Weapons into the fray, to the point, NOW our Weapons could destroy all of Mankind as well as all Life on this Earth.

Now we have a Generation involved in two Wars with the possibility of Iran and North Korea starting more conflict. Truly. throughout time, Generation after Generation the Cries of all Peoples , the Cries of Mankind, have been great, yet falling on deft ears.

One Man Crying out in the Night, the Universal Energy Hears, as for Man, their Arrogance, their Greed, their need for Power, their Brutality, their Self Importance and their Uncaring Ways will always cause Mayham, War, until they truly Hear the Cries of Mankind and respond to it. Religious Wars are truly an oxymoron. Religion is not a Physical thing, it is a Mental thing. How can one "sin" against a thought? Yet Men uses their Religious Concepts to cause World wide pain and destruction.

We as Human Beings need to look to the World of Nature and heed its example and Teachings. After all, we are but another entity upon this Planet we call Earth. No other entity on Earth causes the destruction of Their Habitat, this Earth, as we Human Beings do. Will Man never Learn, This Earth does not need Man, Man needs this Earth! In the future when Man is on the Brink of Extinction, by their own hand, they may look back and see their errors and finally Hear the Cries of the Generations, the Cries of Mankind.

TOO LATE!

Man, just another species Eliminated from this Universe, by our own doing. We as the Human Race, nothing more than a flashing moment in Universal Time. Universal Time being measured in the billions of Years, the Time of Man, individually, measured in decasdes. Are we already too late to change our Ways? Can Man never Hear the Cries of Mankind?

THINK ABOUT IT!

Turly, really think about it, or not Survive!
