Where did the Serpent Mound come from? Did it come from a highly
evolved ancient civilization, almost unknown to history? -Learn
about the story in this Book 1 of 3 parts to the entire story of an
adaption of The Camp of Gods Tears. -The people of this ancient
civilization thrived in North America for centuries long before the
coming of Europeans. -they believed in the oneness of God or the
oneness principle -they wore exotic clothes made from fine textiles
-they had strongly built homes, villages, and expansive farms
-their social organization was powerful yet simple, a few shaman,
elders, and no real leaders. This story is adapted from (The Camp
of God's Tears) is a tragic tale about this civilization and how it
ended. This story is grounded in fact according to archeological,
genetic, and linguistic data as reflected in the Afterward which
presents supportive information and a bibliography of nearly 400
sources from (The Camp of Gods Tears). This saga is told as a
narrative by Gray Wolf who begins his story during his late
adolescence and follows through six generations until he becomes a
great-grandfather.The book reveals the high level of sophistication
of this culture which was far more advanced than many cultures of
the same time period, circa 300 AD. More importantly, it
articulates the depth of their spirituality and moral codes by
which these people lived. While the mysterious ending of a great
culture is heart-rendering, the story ends on a note of hope for
contemporary times. The author relates the story as it came to her
in a dream. It was told to me by Falling Star. She intrigued me
with their immense earthworks which demonstrate accurate
astronomical alignments to the Sun, Moon, stars, and galaxies. The
organization of labor, engineering skills, mathematical and
astronomical knowledge required to build these phenomenal
earthworks amazes modern researchers. I asked Falling Star why she
showed me all of this. She said her People wanted their story told
and asked me if I would tell it. Of course, I said, and then I
asked her why. She said her People were so deeply spiritual, so in
tune and in touch with the Creator that they actively lived the
principles of Oneness. Their ways demonstrated what being one and
at one with the One . . . looked like in real life. She said the
people of my time need to know these principles and to learn to
live them, because humankind is struggling to regain balance in a
troubled world.
What would cause an ancient civilization to leave its homeland?
Learn what causes this peaceful, caring ancient civilization to
abandon their ancestral lands in this Book 2- Ancient Civilization:
The Journey of Surrender the second part of the trilogy from the
adaption of The Camp of Gods Tears. The Journey of The People
begins just as Red Fox returns home from his assignment touring a
major portion of the culture. This civilization is thousands of
years old with the last thousand years having thrived in peace.
When the story takes place, peace is all they knew. As a result The
People enjoyed a peaceful, rich and elegant way of life, never
experiencing violence or want, at least until now. Suddenly this
peaceful and caring civilization becomes alerted to the possibility
that their civilization is at risk. Their dreamers and seers share
their concerns. Doom poised to attack by unknown and unimaginable
threats took years for The People to come to grips with it. They
found it difficult to think in terms that their beautiful lives and
civilization could possibly end. If so, what to do about it? To
stay or to go? To stay and fight? Or to go and abandon their
ancestral lands, cultivated, cultured, and thrived upon for longer
than memory could afford? Each choice appears unacceptable. Red Fox
had built a model of the Great Serpent to show as he made
presentation after presentation invoking memories of the history of
The People. His message was "remember to remember." The idea was to
bring to consciousness as to whom The People are, and why they live
the way they live, in the effort to bring thoughts and actions into
focus and back in alignment with Great Spirit and the Oneness
principle they lived by.
