Celebrating Mothers Day: Ancient Mother; Lakota Lullaby; Cradle Me
by Ellie Stock 09 May '23

09 May '23

Hi Folks, Happy Mother's Day--Mother Earth and all our Mothers. Three song videos to celebrate Mother's Day:1-Mother Earth: Ancient Mother/Robert Gass2-Lakota Lullaby/Joanna Malanos3-Cradle Me/Indiana Women's Chorus (done during COVID) Ellie :)elliestock@aol.com ANCIENT MOTHER ~ Robert Gass - YouTube Ancient Mother, I hear you calling.Ancient Mother, I hear your song. Lakota Lullaby -- Joanna Malanos - YouTube >From Joanna Malanos: The translation of this chant is a simple one: Good-hearted boy, go back to sleep. The night is good. This is the "chante waste hokshila, nake istima... hanhepi kin waste." The rest is melodic chanting to accompany the meaning of the song. To soothe the little boy back to sleep. When I was putting together this video, I wanted the beginning of it to honor the Lakota people with the images of Native Americans and their babies. In the next part, I wanted to make the point that we are all One Tribe, so I added photos of all people. We, as mothers, all lullaby our babies in the same way, with the same love and intent. I am a believer in the Rainbow Tribe -- One people with the same Creator -- Great Spirit. It moves me to find connection with all people through love.

Joseph Mathews Talks
by Karen Snyder 08 May '23

08 May '23

Greetings to ICA and OE Dialogue Readers, Anyone who ever heard the Institute’s founder, Joseph Mathews, give a talk were impacted by both his content and delivery. Many of us had the privilege of hearing some of the most profound statements ever made about humanness, much in the context of Christianity. We are fortunate that our colleague John Epps and others made some of those talks available to us in the two volumes of Bending History: Selected Talks of Joseph Mathews available on Amazon.com <https://www.amazon.com/Bending-History-Selected-Joseph-Mathews/dp/097638920…>. As a representative of the team that has been working on the ICA Global Archives for several years, we are pleased to report that now about 180 of Joe’s talks have been scanned and are available on the Archives website, displayed in the chronological order in which he delivered them at: https://icaglobalarchives.org/jwm-talks/. These talks date from 1946 until his last talk about a month before he died on October 16, 1977. They include public talks to various organizations, addresses at major Institute events, and internal talks with just the staff. They range from his remarks before the US Senate on Fifth City, a commentary on the movie, Man of La Mancha, and his uncompleted doctoral dissertation on John Wesley. These talks are free for you to view and download. If you are inclined and appreciate what ICA has made available, please consider making a gift in Joe’s honor to continue to expand the ICA’s work by clicking HERE. <https://www.ica-usa.org/donate.html> Thank you. As I read the list of JWM's writings, I could see him demonstrating the New Social Vehicle and the New Religious Mode. He would talk about community and next he would engage in discussions about the spirit life, going back and forth between the two over the years. It appears these two dynamics were like a yin/yang, a singular unity for him. I’d be interested in what reflections you have as you look at the list and begin reading some of his talks. Peace and love, Karen Snyder On behalf of the ICA Global Archives Team Ed Feldmanis, Alan Gammel, Beret Griffith, Laura Grover, Peter Grover, Debra Harris-Watson, Paul Noah, Wendell Refior, Vincent Scott, Jim Wiegel
