Background:
It's time to get real about the real story of “Thanksgiving”
--
Humanity is beginning to realize how the trauma of war,
genocide and massacre is equally affecting ordinary people all over the
world who are just trying to live their lives as
much as it is the people and places most directly
related to such events. How could this be?
The more and more we study and dig deeper into the
understanding of ourselves, both philosophers and scientists
are beginning to realize that there really is no true physical
separation between any person or thing. Most profoundly however, is
the discovery that We--all humans who are alive right now and who have
ever lived--somehow seem to share the same conscious global mind or
one connected continuous consciousness. The implications of this
realization towards global peace are profound.
It means that at the subconscious level, we each and all
share the collective trauma of war, genocide and massacre committed
around the world, past and present. And it means we each and all are
either projecting or transposing the broken parts of consciousness upon
everyone around us, even across generations to our new born
children. We--all of humanity alive right now that is, which
includes me, you the reader and everyone you know--cannot escape this
discovery.
However, the "way out" is coming into view--it
involves practices and ways of being that return to remembering a
reverence of truths, restoring respect of life and co-active healing
of the Heart. This capital-H "heart" refers to the
collective, all-inclusive consciousness which means every-body one and
all, as well as the physical heart beating inside each one of those
bodies.
Without first returning to regular ceremonial
reconciliations, key cultural restorations and doing active work to heal
of the Heart of humanity, all other external means, methods, or practices
will ultimately fail to live up to our intended outcome: peace,
connection and wellness for and with all people and
living things. The hypermasculin world we are all creating
together has pulled us from our roots without us even knowing it.
What the world is now is as a result of what We were once unknowingly
responsible for creating--now is our chance to heal the world for our
ancestors, for us, and for future generations. Come join the
revolution in consciousness.
Being shown in D.C. for the first time, this
disturbingly powerful film is a first step towards understanding the
necessity of reconciliation and restoration to begin healing our hearts
and the Heart of humanity.

About the Film:
This powerful and landmark documentary “The
Doctrine of Discovery: Unmasking The Domination Code” is a result of the
collaborative efforts by Dakota filmmaker and Director Sheldon Wolfchild
and Co-Producer Steven Newcomb (Shawnee, Lenape). The film, based on
Newcomb’s thirty years of research, and his book Pagans in the Promised
Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian Discovery (Fulcrum, 2008),
brings to the big screen an amazing and little known story:
The first Christian people to locate lands inhabited by non-Christians
(“infidels, heathens, and savages”) claimed the right to assert a right
of domination to be in themselves. On the basis of this religiously
premised argument, the U.S. Supreme Court has defined the land title of
the Indian nations as a “mere right of occupancy” subject to a right of
domination on the part of the United States. The first “Christian people”
that claimed “ultimate dominion,” said the Supreme Court, could grant
away the soil while yet it was still in the possession of the “natives,
who were heathens.”
Birgil Kills Straight, a Headman of the Oglala Lakota Nation, provides
insight into the traditional wisdom and teachings of the Seven Laws of
the Oglala Lakota. The documentary points out that the traditional
teachings of original nations and peoples form an alternative to the
dehumanizing domination system of Christendom. Run time: 61
minutes. The film will be followed by a group healing and
discussion circle.

Cubed Series, From A-Z
"Its not about learning to trust. Its about
learning what it is I place my trust in and why. Its like learning to see
the forest for the trees. You cannot see the forest for the trees unless
you are outside the forest."
~ Bashar
"Above all we have to go beyond words and
images and concepts. No imaginative vision or conceptual framework is
adequate to the great reality."
~ Bede Griffiths
About Samsara
House 2023, (est. 2013)
"Samsara House
2023" at 36 R Street NW is an Awareness-based shared event space
where world-shifting communities are meshworked to expand each other's world view
and experience and cross-pollinate that which is emerging in
the world. Samsara House 2023 rapidly prototypes models for the new
world to template upon and ignite a planetary revolution in consciousness
within ten years.
Samsara
House 2023’s strategy is to exemplify a gift-economy over the market economy, one that values giving over
having. While all events cost at least one dollar to cover utilities, any
additional contribution will go towards periodically giving half back to
a socially responsible organization or cause in need that you also help
identify. Going together as a river, we build a thriving community of
communities and pave the way for a new world. Samsara House 2023 is
a Holacracy powered organization founded by Cullen Kowalski at a
row house in Bloomingdale, New Washington, D.C.

To change something, build a new model that makes the existing
model obsolete. ~ Buckminster Fuller
Be the
change you wish to see in the world. ~ Gandhi
