Indigenous Britons

Dear Warriors,
Ever since Liallyn bought up the issue of bringing Sahaja to the indigenous peoples of the world, Bernard has been curious to find out who, what and where the indigenous British are?

Well it has been interesting, but the bottom line is history is a highly ambiguous subject and you soon realise that unless you were there you will never really know. So whats new, we should all be in the present anyway?

A program on the TV last night about the Barbarians by Terry Jones (of Monty Python fame), showed that through excavation in France, the 'Celts' (a term not used apparently in Britain until the 17th centuary) or North Western Europeans were far more civilised than Roman history has had us believing all these years, since the Romans wrote it all down and the Celts as we shall call them did not. We had gold, handsome clothing in comparison to the rather drab Roman clothing, roads which meant trade, and most surprisingly, rich powerful women! Boadicea was not unique. It was not just Mr.Paul in Rome who kept women in the background, their way of life has meant women in Europe have taken a back seat for centuries.

What Bernard also discovered previously was that some genealogical research has showed that we in the south of England are indigenous to these islands. Up until then we always assumed that the 'Celts' had been ethnically cleansed from lowland Britain by the invading hoards (Romans, Vikings, Saxons, Normans, etc).

So we are still here, only our culture has been swept away! This may explain that by going deep within ourselves, we find an empathy with our brothers and sisters who are comparatively newcomers to the imposition of an alien culture.

Much love to you all, Bernard.
