More From Black Elk

I cured with the power that came through me. of course, it was not i who cured,it was the power from the outer world; the visions and ceremonies only made me like a whole through which the power could come to the two-leggeds. if i thought that i was doing it myself, the hole would close up and no power could come through. then everything i could do would be foolish.
Two Vision Would Be
When the spirit came to moses, the plagues came upon egypt, and he had power to destroy men's lives; when the spirit came upon elijah, fire came down from heaven; when the spirit came upon gideon, no man could stand before him; and when it came upon joshua, he moved around the city of jericho and the whole city fell into his hands; but when the spirit came upon the son of man, he gave his life; he healed the broken-hearted.

Just as the historian can teach no real history until he has cured his readers of the romantic delusion that the greatness of a queen consists in her being a pretty woman and having her head cut off, so the playwright of the first order can do nothing with his audience until he has cured them of looking at the stage through the keyhole, and sniffing round the theatre as prurient people sniff round the divorce court.

Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose... one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites --- polar opposites --- so that love is identified with a resignation of power, and power with a denial of love... what is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
Love Is Opposites Justice
It can be said, truly said, that the iraqi resistance is not just defending iraq. they are defending all the arabs and they are defending all the people of the world against american hegemony....it's not the muslims who are sick. it's bush and blair and berlusconi who are sick. it's not the muslims who need to be cured. it's the imperialist countries that need to be cured.

Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. we merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. we bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with an its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.

The footsteps a child follows are most likely to be the ones his parents thought they covered up.
Children Covered Up Parent
When i was a fairly precocious young man i became thoroughly impressed with the futility of the hopes and strivings that chase most men restlessly through life. moreover, i soon discovered the cruelty of that chase, which in those years was much more carefully covered up by hypocrisy and glittering words than is the case today. by the mere existence of his stomach everyone was condemned to participate in that chase. the stomach might well be satisfied by such participation, but not man insofar as he is a thinking and feeling being.
