Join host Chris Onefeather every Sunday evening at 10PM Eastern, 9 Central, 8 Mountain and 7 Pacific for one hour of music you probably haven't heard before... music that liberates the spirit and enriches the soul! Since the dawn of time the Universe has unfolded with and through vibration; tones and rhythms. In the most ancient cultures man sought expression by attuning himself to the fundamental beat of Universal consciousness. Percussion, syncopation, hollow reeds, plucking strings and vocalizations are inimical to the human experience. And, in the midst of the most primal musical expression, he realized something was happening to his emotional state and his consciousness... his very being; he began to attain altered states of consciousness: Enlightened Consciousness! Now, in the 21st Century, music is being realized as the common language, a language of human emotion and expression. Sacred music has the power to heal and align us, to inspire us to enter into a greater experience of life and identity... to transcend nationalism and religion and economics as we enter the greater community of humankind. Music brings us back to the core of our being and the recognition that all Life is One. Awakening to Light is a program about this process... the process of listening and becoming one with the music: one with the Cosmos and the Divine. Onefeather invites you to join him in search of sacred music from cultures around the planet and across the vast expanse of time... both modern and ancient.

Awakening to Light is hosted on the You Radio Network

Chapter 4: Barbarism and the Moral Code,

The Soul of the Indian: An Interpretation, 1911:

One great difference in our ways is that, like the early Christians, the Indian was a socialist. The tribe claimed the ground, the rivers and the game; only personal property was owned by the individual, and even that, it was considered a shame to greatly increase. For they held that greed grew into crime, and much property made men forget the poor.

Our answer to this is that without great property, that is, power in the hands of one man, most of the great business enterprises of the world could not have been; especially enterprises that required the prompt action impossible in a national commission. All great steps in national progress have been through some one man, to whom the light came, and to whom our system gave the power to realize his idea. The Indian's answer is, that all good things would have been established by the nation as it needed them; anything coming sooner comes too soon. The price of a very rich man is many poor ones, and peace of mind is worth more than railways and skyscrapers.

In the Indian life there was no great wealth, so also poverty and starvation were unknown, excepting under the blight of national disaster, against which no system can insure. Without a thought of shame or mendicancy, the young, helpless and aged all were cared for by the nation that, in the days of their strength, they were taught and eager to serve.

Thus: Avarice, said to be the root of all evil, and the dominant characteristic of the [European] races, was unknown among Indians, indeed it was made impossible by the system they had developed.
