That makes me very happy. Along those lines, and by all means I do love the path we're taking here, I was once railing at God about Crazy Horse, who reminded me very much of Ramakrishna, rather telling Him that if He would not let Crazy Horse (or Ramakrisna, as I remember) in Heaven, and would not want to be with them forever and ever, then I basically I didn't like it. Then I had a very clear look at both of them walking on what looked like the plains, but it was just heavenly looking. Open, like the plains. And they were dressed like they dressed. I saw them. They were walking slowly somewhat ahead of me, and I saw them from the back. Crazy Horse was gesturing and the Lord was much taller, and bending toward him listening. I saw it for about a second. Then a few years later I found the writings of saint-like and God obsessed Father DeSmet, who apparently baptized Crazy Horse in l85l, when Crazy Horses' father, Crazy Horse (who became Worm when he gave his name to his son, since Sioux had unique names rather than a lot of Bills and Bobs and that) stayed with Old Smoke, and at the l851 treaty, DeSmet wrote down the number of the children each chief brought in for baptizing, and Old Smoke himself "brought in all of the children under 10" Crazy Horse was about 8-9. DeSmet was there at the request of the government because he was so loved by the upper Missouri tribes. All of the ghost dancers were men DeSmet had touched. Big Foot was a saint. Interesting, isn't it. When Sitting Bull was shot in 1890, the military records in the Archives note that he said "I don't have time for you. I'm going to Pine Ridge to meet God." The dancers in Pine Ridge apparently though Jesus was going to come get them that day, according to the quote from Sitting Bull someone sneaked out of the musty, hidden little dungeons of history. The military records in the Archives report of the ghost dance that "some said they saw Jesus in Heaven". Interestingly enough, the ghost dancers were all shot because the government officials who recorded this "were afraid of them." There is a wonderful saying, "I laugh because I don't cry".
