Lakota Legend Tracks with the Essene Gospels

I love it when different traditions track with each other!

If you've been keeping pace with my posts on the Essene Gospels, you may remember that in honoring the Angel of Earth, the text in Book Four, page 28-29 says, "None can live long, neither be happy, but he honor his Earthly Mother... For your breath is her breath; your blood her blood; your bone her bone; your flesh her flesh....  I tell you truly, you are one with the Earthly Mother ; she is in you, and you in her. Of her were you born, in her do you live, and to her shall you return again."

And here is a Lakota elder giving a brief explanation of the name Oglallah, meaning Pours on Self:         "I come from the earth; that's who I am and that's who I'll go back to." Take a listen:

Remember to honor the Earth and to do your part, however small it may seem.  Thank you.
