Listen...
I saw this in my mind not long ago: in my vision the electric light will
stop sometime. It is used too much for TV and going to the moon. The day
is coming when nature will stop the electricity. Police without flashlights,
beer getting hot in the refrigerators, planes dropping from the sky, even
the President can't call up somebody on the phone. A young man will come,
or men, who'll know how to shut off all electricity. It will be painful,
like giving birth. Rapings in the dark, winos breaking into the liquor stores,
a lot of destruction. People are being too smart, too clever; the machine
stops and they are helpless, because they have forgoten how to make do without
the machine. There is a Light Man coming, bringing a new light. It will happen
before this century is over. The man who has this power will do good things
too -- stop all atomic power, stop wars, just by shutting the white electro-power
off. I hope to see this, but then I'm also afraid. What will be will be.
I am trying to bring the ghost dance back,but interpret it in a new way.
I think it has been misunderstood, but after eighty years I believe that
more and more people are sensing what we meant when we prayed for a new earth
and that now, not only the Indians, but everybody has become an endangered
species. So let the Indians help you bring on a new earth without pollution
or war. Let's roll up the world. It needs it.
