From Past Life Regressions
Around 12,000 years ago, North America (Alaska)
There are main ones and there are smaller ones. And these ceremonies, they keep the times of the year in the proper places, and help the years to pass, one year to the other, in the flowing cycle of life: the harvest, the spring. And in the winter, midwinter festival when the sun starts coming back.
The Legend of Starcrash – Dolores Canon
Harvest
For the harvest we move the kettles from where we usually cook and build a large bonfire. And we start out dancing to help get relaxed. You try not to worry about your child that is sick or about the bugs eating your grain or what have you. You dance, you relax. And then the wise man, he starts singing the special songs. The ones that call down the spirits.
Sumer
The next major festival is when the day is longest, and the night really is not there at all. You know how after the sun sets, but before it gets dark, when it is kind of dusky? Well, the longest day of the year is like that all night long.
Fall
In the fall when the day and night are balanced again we have another celebration. It happens near the end of harvest when we are celebrating a good harvest, or if it has not been a good harvest we sing songs to the spirits to help us make it through the winter. At this time, since the nights are getting longer and the work of the summer is about done, we start teaching the children of the village the things they need to know.
Winter
On the night that is the longest we have the winter ceremony, and that is when certain legends must be told and passed down. That is when the night part of the harmony is at its, most powerful, because the next night will not be quite as long. The wise man is the one that keeps track of this.
Songs
The songs are powerful. They hold the spirits. You have to be careful about singing. You may call the wrong spirit. The spirits speak, but not like you and 1. They sing. That is why sometimes they speak to you in the wind. The wind is a powerful spirit. You must be careful with music. You must be respectful.
Meditation
D:Have the people always believed in meditation?
B: I think so. It is known to be beneficial.
