Rose High Bear
The Seven Commandments

At TrineDay.com and the usual podcast platforms.

Publisher R. A. “Kris” Millegan speaks with Rose High Bear, editor of THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS OF THE SACRED BUFFALO CALF WOMAN, the biography of Martin High Bear, the late Lakota Medicine Man and Spiritual Leader. It features his history and vision, which includes restoration of the ancient cultural values and spiritual qualities of his ancestry.

Highlights:

It’s the day after the election. Kris is sad about the outcome. Rose reflected on the Native American goal of strengthening unity and harmony in the community at all times, especially during challenging times.

In the 1960s and ‘70s, many looked at Indians in new ways, beyond the cliches of Hollywood and earlier times, beyond their portrayal as sub-human, which helped to eliminate guilt about stealing their land and wiping them out.

There was a lot of prophesy, starting almost 100 years ago from many tribes, that one day the white people will come to the tribes to learn how to live. The old cultural values of respect can help. All generations must be included. Rose is grateful that Kris appreciates the value and beauty of the native ways. (There are 576 tribes federally recognized, and thousands of others no longer recognized.)

At the age of four, Rose moved with her father from the Yukon River in Alaska to Oregon and felt lost. It was culture shock. A lot of Indian people feel lost like that today.

In 1988 Rose married medicine man Martin High Bear, who had been an alcoholic with PTSD after World War 2 before he became a medicine man and spiritual leader. Spirits came to him as grandfathers and instructed him to share the story of the Sacred Buffalo Calf Woman and the seven ways (or commandments) with all people.

A spirit told Rose that one day she would write a book about Martin, for the restoration of the cultural values of his people.

The seven commandments are:

1. The people shall live with health. Spiritual, emotional, and physical. Physical disease reflects spiritual disease.

2. The people shall live from generation to generation, with knowledge and wisdom transferred from the elders to the young, mindful of the seven generations behind us and the seven generations to come.

3. The people shall live with quietness. Said to be the “conflict resolution” commandment. When we hear something that we disagree with, don’t blurt out opposition. Think about it. Pray about it. Reflect on it. Maybe you’ll learn something. Then try to resolve it indirectly. We have no right to create conflict.

4. The people shall live with happiness. Bring joy and fun. Have a sense of humor. This is in the context of focusing on serving others, a life of selfless service to others.

5. The people shall help one another. Always look for ways to help others, in selfless service. When we think of ourselves too much, we get depressed. It’s not good.

6. The people shall live with power. Pray for, ask for spiritual power to help others, to be in selfless service to others, to be healthy, to be happy. Pray to be a better person who can help the people.

7. The people shall live with respect and honor. Acknowledge all people and have compassion and empathy for all others.

Seek to connect with the spirit world. We can heal from the traumas of cruelty.

Brook Urick
WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE, Inside a Sugar Daddy Website

Video on YouTube channel: TrineDay.
Audio at TrineDay.com and the usual podcast platforms.

Publisher R. A. “Kris” Millegan speaks with Brook Urick, author of WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE: Sexual Exploits and Secrets from Inside a Sugar Daddy Website, where she reveals the horrors of sex trafficking, fraud, and predatory behavior at the notorious sugar daddy website SeekingArrangement.

Brook worked on staff for years while trying her own luck as a sugar baby. Now she says, “We can’t allow young women to get involved, sometimes unknowingly, in a life of sex work and abuse as a result of this website.” Her journey continues as a writer and content creator. Learn more at BrookUrick.com.

When the New York Times and ABC News interviewed her, she wrote a book proposal, thinking her story was going to be broadcast and a book would help. But those stories didn’t run, and no one would publish her book.

Then she learned about Kris and TrineDay through Whitney Webb (ONE NATION UNDER BLACKMAIL: The sordid union between Intelligence and Organized Crime that gave rise to Jeffrey Epstein), and Kris published her book, which examines many things, including the psychology of young girls seduced into making bad decisions.

A similar website, Backpage, wasn’t hiding what it was. It was a Craigs List for sex workers. It was shut down. The 2018 FOSTA-SESTA law holds websites liable for sex trafficking on the internet.

So why isn’t the DOJ pursuing her former company, now called Seeking? Brook wants to know.

“It’s really warping girls’ minds to think that money should come easy to me because I have this body.” Brook wants girls to know how much your psyche changes as you get older, especially if you seek attention from older men because you had a poor or no relationship with your father.

“Women are biologically incapable of having casual sex.” During sex they release oxytocin, “the bonding hormone,” which makes you feel you need to be attached to that man because you might be pregnant. The body tricks you into believing you want to be with him no matter who he is. “No one taught me that, growing up.”

Slutty heroines who get all the attention and glory in our culture are bamboozling girls and young women into exploiting themselves, which can get them money and attention, but which is very damaging as you get older. It’s hard for girls and young women to see that paradox and that’s why Brook wrote her book, to help them avoid similar bad decisions.

Our society is rotting because we’re being programmed to relate through technology and we’re abused through anonymity and gaslit by being told what we see with our own eyes is not what we’re seeing, conditioning people to not think for themselves. “If a technology is free to you, then you are the product, not the consumer. People need to understand that their data is valuable, especially their biodata.”

Profound questions of identity and self-worth, urgent and important to everyone, especially to young people, are raised by Brook’s book. Her advice to young girls and women growing up in this atmosphere is, “Don’t chase money. It’s very confusing when you’re young and you don’t have enough money to have your basic needs provided for.”

Brook Urick worked behind the scenes at the notorious sugar daddy website SeekingArrangement while trying her own luck as a sugar baby.

Urick wants the DOJ to take a closer look at this website, especially after legislation called FOSTA-SESTA passed in 2018, making these websites criminally liable. Why is the website still around today? She’s wondering the same thing.

James Day
THE FRAUD OF TURIN and The Passion of Jesus Christ

Publisher R. A. “Kris” Millegan speaks with James Day, whose new book, THE FRAUD OF TURIN, reviews the evidence for a medieval creation of the world's most famous religious artifact, the Shroud of Turin, and it shows how all-consuming the Passion of Jesus Christ was to the medieval mind. James’ other books include THE MAD BISHOPS: The Hunt for Earl Anglin James and His Assassin Brethren, about the peddler of phony degrees who built a network of contacts that led to the assassinations of JFK, MLK, and RFK.

Topics discussed:

THE MAD BISHOPS shows through the JFK assassination story that there’s not one big evil out there. Many different people are running around with different agendas. Sometimes they come together to work together on different things [and sometimes they compete and fight, and they can be used by intelligence agents and others to accomplish things unknown to the participants].

James was asked to prove that the Shroud of Turin was created by Jesus’ resurrection. He found evidence to the contrary. “The hate mail has already started, even before the book came out officially.”

The JFK assassination and the Shroud both have people saying, “This is how it was done, or this is who did it.” In both cases you’re dealing with religious institutions and chivalric orders. James has continued to put out research and commentary on the Kennedy assassination. (See his work here, JamesFDay.Medium.com.

There’s a tradition of putting Christ’s face on cloth and imagery and icons. In the 1980s three different labs with the approval of the Church carbon dated a piece of the Shroud. All three studies produced a range between 1260 and 1390 AD as the date of the cloth, which corresponds with the historical record of when the Shroud appeared in late Fourteenth Century France. That closed the case in some ways for many secular authorities.

In James’ Catholic experience in grade school, high school, college, and graduate school in Catholic schools, the Shroud was not dealt with. “To this day the Church does not have a formal opinion on the Shroud of Turin. It is housed in the cathedral of Turin, and it is brought out every once in a while, which helps its aura of wonder [that it is shown infrequently]. But it’s officially declared an icon, not a relic.”

A relic is something tangible from Jerusalem, from the apostles, or from the saints. An icon is something that East and West Christianity adopted and respect as something that the believer gazes on as a devotion, or something that brings them closer to the divine. And that’s what the Church encourages the Shroud to be seen as, something to gaze upon and inspire one to think about Jesus’ whole purpose and the way of the cross.

To many Catholics, the Shroud isn’t going away. There is a whole school of apologists peddling the Shroud as authentic [as being created by the resurrection in the First Century] despite the carbon-14 dating, asserting that there was an error in those tests and the Shroud proves the truth of Christianity.

James set out to find the truth. He found that its apologists say a lot about the Shroud but not about the world of the Shroud, not about the medieval mind that was consumed with the image of Christ. People in the 1300s declared it to be a fake.

First Century studies, the century before and the century after Christ, are fascinating. Many now say, “Christ never lived. It was a story made up to get people behind the Romans.” Kris, through research, is satisfied that Jesus was an actual historical figure, and Kris always liked Albert Schweitzer and thought his research and questionings were very good.
