Navajo Teachings: Why Gold is Worthless

  • In the traditional teachings there are four basic metals. The Black Metal, The Blue Metal, The Yellow Metal, and the White Metal.
    The Blue metal serves as a reminder of the Blue World... the place before the Yellow World.
    The White Metal is symbolic of the Fourth World.
    But the Yellow Metal... The Third world. This metal has caused a lot of problems for our Diné (Navajo People).
    While the Yellow pollen can give life... the yellow minerals can take life.
    From the Spaniards obsession with gold to the uranium mines...

      No primitive people, no Indian or aboriginal is less intelligent that the first European they encountered.
      The only difference IMO was technology. The story is actually pretty sly. The elders, familiar with human nature as that has since the 1st day never changed, got rid of what they no doubt saw as a problem not by force of arms but with a story. And it worked. Very sly.
      How many fables, stories, morality plays and family histories are filled with lessons against greed. Human nature never changes.

      And without life to utilize such resources, they hold absolutely no inherent value. Which is why what the man speaks hold a lot of truth if one possesses the wisdom to truly hear and understand. When he calls gold worthless, it feels as though he's speaking comparatively. Same with uranium. ESPECIALLY with uranium Compared to the death and destruction wrought by the desire, or in the latter case, the utilization, neither are worthy of our attention in the way they've captivated us for so long. And neither are worth the lives they've both taken, directly or indirectly, in droves.
      Just like there can be one infinity greater than another, I believe that one priceless thing can be more priceless than another. And it's very difficult to place a price on a human life. At least one that truly reflects the worth of one. All I can definitively say is that when stacked up against each other, a chunk of inert metal truly does become of no value next to a human being. Law, philosophy, craftsmanship, architecture, poetry, music. All made by mankind. Ore of any kind creates or becomes nothing of true use unless we will it.
      And that final statement of the previous paragraph is why no man, woman, or child should die due to the pursuit of gold. Gold is just a worthless hunk of unworked material without us.

      Silver is used as much if not more in electronics, probably due to the lower cost. It allows for much more electrical conductivity for the size over copper, which is why electronic devices can be so small today. If they relied solely on copper for conductivity much more would be needed over silver, making for larger and heavier devices

      Because metal becomes a medium of exchange.
      It's what first allowed someone to focus their talents into something, and be able to sustain themselves.
      For instance, I was a good hunter but an awful shelter builder gold provided liquidity in labor exchange.
      I could sell what I hunted and pay gold to get a shelter.
      Think of metal as stored labor and value that can transform into anything of equal value that was put in the retrieve it.

    Gold has so many properties we had no clue about until the early 2000s. There is reasons why the past world was obsessed with it, it powers the future. Computers need gold, so do cars, and vehicles. The gold itself is the only super conductor besides copper. Not saying got off the deep end and worship the bars of gold, but there is a reason we use it. No just for looks anymore, but the actual physical properties it brings.

    Many people say that gold primarily belongs in the Earth, and its greatest value is within the Earth. I wonder if there was a warning inherent in this, to not place too much external/superficial value on gold, lest its true value or essence be forgotten. Perhaps traditional teachings reflect this by not using it as ornamentation--it almost has a "forbidden fruit" connotation in the sense that it is considered very beautyful and is often used to symbolize love, and yet this turns into greed and terrible things have been done in order to hoard it. Similar in a way to how "love" and marriage came to represent possession and objectification (for so many colonizers) rather than true partnership... So much gold has been removed from the Earth now, I wonder if perhaps spiritual people may feel more of a need to re-connect with its essence in physical form when once that wasn't the case. Gold is also very important in alchemy, which is a form of spiritualized chemistry, and it is my personal belief that the true essence of gold is deep in our souls and the soul of the Earth, but the physical world can make us feel separated from this source...which is the tragedy of these wars of "disinheritance" waged over gold, and a mirror for the way materialism has replaced spiritual connection to the Earth. The story of the Midas touch also comes to mind. It is as you say: life-giving, and also life-taking.

Stay away from that area, even our people don't go near that place. For hunting or fishing it is forbidden. I asked him why? He replied it has Bad Spirits in the land and no good will come from being there. All these years later after talking to former employees of Uranium mines. It is indeed a place where no good will come from being there. The Native people of our country knew this way long ago. I appreciate their advice to this day.

      Perhaps you have taken things out of context. It's ok. Please don't take it personally. Wally was discussing the reasons gold have a negative aspect and why the Navajo value silver. I shared my appreciation of the latter. "Semi precious" or "cold,dead" are words you chose. Are you interested in gold, silver, lashing out, or my description? Are you offended for gold?
      Gold and silver can be cold, hot, or any temp in between. The properties change with each range.
      "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." We love the smell, beauty, and it's luscious soft petals. Simultaneously it needs a harsh almost toxic soil to grow. If you don't wear thick gloves your flesh will be punctured and shredded. Roses are one of the most coveted flowers.
      Everything possesses it's unique qualities and how we interpret them as well.
      Why I consider silver to have feminine qualities doesn't appear to be the intent of your reply. ❤

      @@Kingdeathtrooper What's your point? Didn't have one? Did you just feel like TRYING to be a smart-ass? It's ok. I don't expect everyone in the world to not be desperate for attention. But it's still weird every time I come across someone like that... like you. Bye.

      @@seam322cub187 The point was that you don't have that much of a disdain for it if you are perfectly fine using a phone that only functions because of it. You want to talk about attention seeking? How about rethinking your: "Hey everyone I'm part Navajo, my ~spirit~ tells me not to like a certain metal" position.

    Gold is one of the most resilient metals when it comes to tarnishing and it one of the best conductor on earth

    Gold is really useful for anti-corrosive plating. Only requires plating a few atoms thick.
    The anti-corrosion qualities are why it was favoured for sculptures, weights and coins.

      Gold does not accumulate dirt easily either. It naturally stays clean and dirt falls off naturally it seems.

    My mother towards the end of her life would take me to a Blackfoot reservation. She would make jewelry and use the sweat tents. I would work cooking bison at pow wows. I really miss those people and would like to get back in touch w that life.

      You probably meant. The Incas believed that gold were the tears of the sun. It was sweat. Silver were the tears of the moon. You had the words in the wrong order, that is why I said it gave me a headache.
