THE CHILDREN OF THE SUN FOR ONE PEOPLE, ONE EARTH PILGRIMAGE

TO THE

GOLDEN CITY VORTEXES OF THE EARTH

The Children of the Sun for One People, One Earth is a nonsectarian way of saying Sun People or Emissaries of Light for Heaven on Earth. Many of you who have been on past pilgrimages with me can remember the days when One People, One Earth was just a rallying cry. I would make the call, “One People!” and the crowd would respond, “One Earth!” It was the call and response that I used to raise the voices of throngs of people all over the world. This call and response has been translated and vocalized in many languages.

At the time, I had no idea that someday it would metamorphose into a parade, festival, ceremony and an attempt to become a global Pilgrimage? The Annual One People, One Earth Parade and its international arm The Children of the Sun for One People, One Earth Pilgrimage to the Golden City Vortexes of the Earth is the first of its kind anywhere in the country and possibly the world.

The parade and pilgrimage are both a walking bill-board for: buy local collectives; organic farms; intentional/sustainable living communities; eco-villages; green energy car collectives; earth friendly, cruelty free products and all ecologically affiliated businesses, organizations and institutions. Both are catalyst for people coming together as one body with one voice decreeing All Life is Sacred. It is a movement truly working for the Liberation of Humanity and the Planet Earth. This year marked the first of 10 year long sojourn.

The Parade, Festival and Ceremony, which came together owing to the will of the people of Pioneer Valley Massachusetts, was the finale of the four months long launching for the Pilgrimage. This Earth Walk is also continuing the work of Sister Clare Carter and the Middle Passage Pilgrims: Rolling Back the Carpet of Racism and Denial in America. It was held on October 12^th  & 13^th 2003. The day the Indigenous Environmental Movement designated has Unplug America: Give Mother Earth a Rest Day. To see pictures & report:

The highlight of 2003 is when the Pilgrimage stopped at Onondaga Lake Park  -the site where the Six Nation gathered - to introduce the prototype of this event to that community. Now thanks to David Yarrow, this event will take place at Onondaga, Lake Park October 11, 2004. See details: http://www.championtrees.org/peace/UnplugAmerica.htm

Afterwards, I stopped in New York to visit family I hadn’t seen for awhile. It was a brief stop because my family doesn’t quite understand what it is that I do. They know that I’m not a bad boy, but the concepts of defying the laws of economic gravity are new to them and will take time to digest. Other than that, as long as I come around self-sufficient and don’t strain their economy – they are always glad to see me. In five days I was able to visit with family in Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn and moved on.

This Pilgrimage to the Golden City Vortexes of the Earth, which I estimate will take 10 years to complete, is now in its 6th month and, thus far, has turned out to be one of the most fun-filled, educational experiences about people (past, present and future) and the earth. 

It is also an education in the science of faith travel.

 The Pilgrimage is totally free style – that is - it is totally free from the stress and strain of boilerplate fundraisers or habitual solicitation. The Ancestors handle all the organizing; and although the Pilgrimage does have a course to follow, I do make it up as I go along. I am blessed with all the improvisational latitude as a virtuoso of jazz music. Along my pilgrimage course, I make it a point to stop at all the people, places and things that have helped humanity to evolve.

After leaving New York I stopped at the “Peace House Amelia” in Amelia, Ohio. It is a little village outside of Cincinnati. Here is where I rested for the holidays.  To see pictures of the people, places and things I visited click here:

NorthStar Connects To The Underground Railroad - 12/19/2003   

Along the way to these Star Cities, The Children of the Sun for One People, One Earth has stopped to offer prayer in the states of Juarez, Chihuahua and then onto Parral in the State of Durango. This is the town where Francisco (Poncho) Villa was assassinated. From there the Pilgrimage landed in Santa Maria del Oro the apex of the only Golden City Vortex in all of Mexico. The Pilgrimage spent two and a half weeks there walking to all the sacred sites, talking to all the people, bathing in their thermal waters, horseback riding, attending the services of the Christians and the Catholics and attending their community dance.

From there the Pilgrimage moved on to pray in the city of Durango, where Poncho Villa was born. The Pilgrimage moved on to pray at the ancient Spanish Museum Temples in the states of Zacatecas, Aguacliente and Gaunajauto. Today, the Pilgrimage stopped for a much need rest in a town called Salamanca, Guanajauto.

Tomorrow the Pilgrimage will leave for Mexico City. The future stops will be: Teotihuacán to walk up the steps of the pyramids. We will pray for world peace at the Temple of the Sun; the Temple of the Moon; and the Temple of Rain. We will take our Pilgrimage to an ancient African community in Gurrerro. We will a lso visit the ruins of the Toltec and Olmec, Cancun, Vera Cruz, Oaxaca, Palenque, Chiapas. This is the place Emiliano Zapata. The Pilgrimage will spend time connect with the Zappistas, the Earth movement and the Indigenous movement in Chiapas. From there the Pilgrimage will move toward the ruins on the peninsula of the Yucatan.

The Pilgrimage will continue its course of stopping at all the people, place and things that helped humanity to evolve throughout Gautemala, Belise, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and then on into the Golden City Vortex running from Costa Rica to Panama. The Pilgrimage will winter at a ONE WORLD RAINBOW GATHERING in COSTA RICA, from the full Moon on March 6^th to the full Moon on April 5^th, 2004.  For more info this gathering click here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/costaricaravan/

Since the fall of 2001, shortly after 9/11, I stated that my Pilgrimage would leave from the Leverett, Peace Pagoda, go to various sacred places in Northeast, America and then head for south for Central and South America.  Here it is two years and half years later and I am following my course exactly as I saw it at that time.

After Costa Rica the Pilgrimage will return to the U.S. in April - Payson, Arizona to meet with Lori Toye, the creator of the Freedom Star map. (see: www.iamamerica.com/ SPAN>) This is a map of the 51 Golden City Vortices around the planet, that I’ve chosen to walk as my metaphysical Pilgrimage course. After my meeting with her the Pilgrimage schedule for the spring to fall of 2004 will be the following:

1. To walk the Golden City Vortexes of America

Gobean:  Arizona-New Mexico

Malton Illinois-Indiana-Missouri

Wahanee:  Georgia-South Carolina-North Carolina

Shalahah:  Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington

Klehma:  Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas.

(If you would like to see close-ups of each area, I AM America offers a large-scale Golden City Map of the United States.  You can view the Map at www.iamamerica.com)

2. September 11^th – October 11^th  One People, One Earth will lead a four direction pilgrimage to Onondaga Lake Park in Syracuse, New York. This Lake is the Roots of Peace and Democracy in America. This is where the second annual One People, One Earth Parade, Festival and Ceremony will take place.

This Pilgrimage of faith travel did not know how it would get out of Massachusetts let alone get this far in Mexico and accomplish so much. It still as a long way to go and a short time to get there. I have warned that Guatemala, Belise, Honduras may be lenient toward this Pilgrimage’s effort, but El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica will be difficult obstacles to hurdled. And even if this Pilgrimage does make it to Costa Rica it has no way back. Nevertheless, in the name of Li beration for Humanity and the Planet Earth we move through this world with audacity to propagate One People, One Earth. 

However, if you would like to, once again, see if I can defy the laws of economic gravity – you would have to join my live journal , where daily updates will be posted. This is my last generic email I will send. I believe I caught you up and given you all the updates I owed you. From now on, a travel journal will get posted for those inquiring minds that want to know where I am and how I am doing. It is the perfect opportunity for us, to once again, check Gods Math together.  This invitation are for those who want to know where I am and how I am doing; for those who are. interested in the metaphysical nature of this mission; and for those who are interested solely in the science of faith travel and defying the laws of economic gravity.

And remember, This Pilgrimage doesn’t thrive on monetary donations. It thrives on prayers such as this: 

  Namaste brother North Star * + * 
May the angels bless and protect your journey.... eternal thanks to you and to all who walk the sacred path of peace....  We Live in Miraculous times!!.... The heart of the World is opening like a giant flower.... the nectar of Love and Compassion soo sweet!! hee hee....  Sharing creates Abundance!!! and the Abundance of Love in this Universe is unending...

By now you know my sign off: If I don't hear from you again, I ain't mad at you. Let me take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your contribution to my growth and development. You have all -- in some way -- whether our experience was good or bad - played an important part in who I am today and where I am going. I pray that I was, in some small way, of service to your growth. If I have said or done anything to offend anyone, please know that it may have been an error in my judgment but never out of malice. And if our paths should not cross again, in this life, I hope that we hold each other only in the immaculate conception. With much love and respect, this is Brother NorthStar, formerly know as Smitty from the City signing off: In the name of Liberation for Humanity and the Planet Earth, I bow in deep gratitude to you all.
