In recent videos I noticed Russell speaking about our Earth as Grandmother.

I have come to realize that We Are All Related and many tribes think this way...

I have always thought that Earth is out Mother,

This remains unchanged but today I heard some mention Grandmother as Moon

as the moon is who helps our woman in direction and seasons.

I always thought that Grandmother was the wind but today I think I was wrong.

What is Russell's reason for calling Earth Grandmother?

I too have always thought of the earth as our mother. It is an interesting concept. I hope that Russell will shed some lightx

I have heard that stones sometimes are called "Grandfathers" at inipi ceremonies, so there is the same word for "Grandfather" the creator and "Grandfathers" for the white hot glowing stones. From this sight it may be possible to call the earth "Grandmother".

For my feelings the earth is "Mother" and the Sun is "Father". For my feelings the earth simply has more "female, mother", caring and nourishing, sun is more male (strong, powerfull, sometimes hurting), althought the word "Sun" (Sonne) is female in my language.

But that is just how i think abuot it, i am no lakota, i am one of the "native people of europe" in this forum

We all are related!

After further inquiring on my own I see that we may look at Earth as Grandmother...

I think as my own Mother coming from Grandmother...

And if I were to look at Tenkasula (sp) Grandfather spoken in sweat lodges I've been to as also songs to Wankan Tanka (Great Spirit) I almost come to think that they are two in the same. What is the word for Great Mystery in Lakotah because I have seen writings where Great Mystery is also refered to as Wankan Tanka.

So I have kind of morphed it all together as Grandfather spiritualy speaking is the same as Great Mystery as in Grandmother spititualy speaking is the same as the Living Planet we walk on.

Correct me if you will... but without answers coming directly from the Lakotah I try to put two and two together although I know I'm stumbling through it.

The Sun as female... That's hard for me to comprehend but do understand that many of the indiginous relate to these relatives in a different way. And so how one may see the Sun in Africa may be different then how one may relate to it in Africa or Lakotah or Scotland.

It's worth noting that it's not worth fighting over but simply accepting it as being that way.

Nice performance - most simple explanation why Russell called Grandmother Earth.

Very good.Grandmother mother earth.Listen is to have understanding,even if our ears do not hear.To try to comprehend what we cannot comprehend is over bearing.The "Creator"is HE who speaks.Wind,earth,sky,moon,sun,stars,all is HIS Creation.I am only happy when it rains.

People will hate me for this but my grandfather once told me, "Man must be at balance with his gadgets, his land, himself, and his wallet." Mother Earth is a beautiful thing. A work of art. However we must balance all things. It is time to stop materialism. It is time to start mass utilization. That is just my opinion on the grandmother.

Yup i agree.Hate i do not hate anyone.Does not help me to hate my brother,or sister.I certainly not a materialistic man.Peace.

Its not about being in luxury. I think the most important thing is to live comforitibly, and not out of your means. Everything must be in balance. Mass utilization comes into play.

!

Just a question?Thought.Were did all the proteins,amino acids clay and properties of substance of these come from?Myth,theory,is not fact."Creator" ! Great Spirit yes it is a good day.

!

Angel you can see those things called amino acids under a microscope. You should go to a lab one day and look at it under an electron microscope. It looks really really cool. And also they can see an atomic particle. Its quite interesting and scary to think I can see all the things just my mere hand are made up of. Billions and trillions of them.

everything...everything is alive:)

Mother Nature, Grandmother Earth.
I don’t think it really matters so long as respect is given.
Thank you for the wonderful video about Grandmother who is “pulsing in our veins since the beginning” here to “sing us awake”. (Quotes not exact)
R. Means also said matriarchy is about balance.
It’s important to strive to live simply with as few material possessions as possible while being self-sufficient and helping others, then it is possible to live free. We are all beings inside of Nature currently residing on Earth also part of an ever greater being. Nature is of both life and death as she is also both female and male etc. The yingyang of life and death gives the spin to our soul hurling through the future.

THE EARTH GIVES BIRTH,LIFE, EVEN IN THE COLDEST OR HOTTEST CONDITIONS ON

THIS PLANET, JUST LIKE A WOMAN. 007800........................................................
