This is from a talk Given by Lee Brown, (This is a long article but well worth a read- please feel free to cut and
read later) Tanana
Valley Fairgrounds There
was the cycle of the mineral, the rock. There was the cycle of the plant. And
now we re in the cycle of the animal coming to the end of that and beginning
the cycle of the human being. When we get into the cycle of the human being,
the highest and greatest powers that we have will be released to us. They
will be released from that light or soul that we carry to the mind. But right
now we're coming to the end of the animal cycle and we have investigated
ourselves and learned what it is to be like an animal on this earth. At the
beginning of this cycle of time, long ago, the Great Spirit came down and He
made an appearance and He gathered the peoples of this earth together they
say on an island which is now beneath the water and He said to the human
beings, "I'm going to send you to four directions and over time I'm
going to change you to four colors, but I'm going to give you some teachings
and you will call these the Original Teachings and when you come back
together with each other you will share these so that you can live and have
peace on earth, and a great civilization will come about." And he said
"During the cycle of time I'm going to give each of you two stone
tablets. When I give you those stone tablets, don't cast those upon the
ground. If any of the brothers and sisters of the four directions and the
four colors cast their tablets on the ground, not only, will human beings
have a hard time, but almost the earth itself will die." And so
he gave each of us a responsibility and we call that the Guardianship. To the
Indian people, the red people, he gave the Guardianship of the earth. We were
to learn during this cycle of time the teachings of the earth, the plants
that grow from the earth, the foods that you can eat, and the herbs that are
healing so that when we came back together with the other brothers and
sisters we could share this knowledge with them. Something good was to happen
on the earth. To the
South, he gave the yellow race of people the Guardianship of the wind. They
were to learn about the sky and breathing and how to take that within
ourselves for spiritual advancement. They were to share that with is at this
time. To the
West He gave the black race of people the Guardianship of the water. They
were to learn the teachings of the water which is the chief of the elements,
being the most humble and the most powerful. When I went to the University of
Washington and I learned that it was a black man that discovered blood plasma,
it didn't surprise me because blood is water and the elders already told me
the black people would bring the teachings of the water. To the
North He gave the white race of people the Guardianship of the fire. If you
look at the center of many of the things they do you will find the fire. They
say a light bulb is the white man's fire. If you look at the center of a car
you will find a spark. If you look at the center of the airplane and the
train you will find the fire. The fire consumes, and also moves. This is why
it was the white brothers and sisters who began to move upon the face of the
earth and reunite us as a human family. And so a
long time passed, and the Great Spirit gave each of the four races two stone
tablets. Ours are kept at the Hopi Reservation in Arizona at Four Corners
Area on 3rd Mason. I talked
to people from the black race and their stone tablets are at the foot of
Mount Kenya. They are kept by the Kukuyu Tribe. I once had the honor of presenting
a sacred pipe at the Kukuyu Tribe carved from the red pipe stone of Mount
Kenya. I was at an Indian spiritual gathering about 15 years ago. A medicine
man from South Dakota put a beaded medicine wheel in the middle of the
gathering. It had the four colors from the four directions; He asked the
people, "Where is this from?" They said, "Probably Montana, or
South Dakota, maybe Seskatchewan." He said, "This is from
Kenya." It was beaded just like ours, with the same color The
stone tablets of the yellow race of people are kept by the Tibetans, in
Tibet. If you went straight through the Hopi Reservation to the other side of
the world, you would come out in Tibet. The Tibetan word for "sun"
is the Hopi word for "moon" and the Hopi word for "sun"
is the Tibetan word for "moon". The
guardians of the traditions of the people of Europe are the Swiss. In
Switzerland, they still have a day when each family brings out its mask. They
still know the colors of the families, they still know theymbols, some of them.
I went to school with some people from Switzerland at the University of
Washington and they shared this with me. Each of
these four peoples happen to be people that live in the mountains. In 1976
America had its bicentennial celebrating 200 years of freedom. Some of the
Native people thought this was significant and they carried a sacred pipe
bundle from the West Coast to the East Coast of this land. They said that the
roads of this land should either go North-South or East-West. If they went
North-South we would come together as brothers and sisters, but if they went
East-West there would be destruction and almost the earth itself would have a
hard time. So you all know the roads went East-West. They said then things
would be lost from the East to the West and from the South to the North and
that they would come back again from the West to the East and from the North
to the South. So nine years ago in 1976 from the West to East Coast of this
land, from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. people carried a sacred pipe
bundle by hand, on foot. My aunt had dreamt 15 years ago that people that
didn't Like them would throw rocks and bottles at that pipe bundle as they
carried it across the land. And sure enough that came about. But, as was in
my aunt's dream, the rocks only came so close and then they dropped, and
nothing touched it. When they reached the top of the Rocky Mountains, they
hit a hard storm. An elderly man with long white hair said, "I will
carry it now." They had a van that went alongside the people who were
walking. He got out of the van and carried the sacred pipe bundle clear
through that storm. He was so cold when he got back in the van that someone
touched his hair and it fell. His hair was frozen. You have to be pretty cold
for your hair to freeze but that old man carried it through that storm
because they said if they carried this bundle across the earth, the powers
would begin to come back. They said a spiritual fire would be lit in the
North and would come down the Northwest Coast of this land. When it gets to
the Puget Sound, it would go inland. I think this, nine years later, is the
gathering in the North, myself. That's why I came here. This is it. We have
the capacity to start the-spiritual fire now, here. The old people long ago
saw it and foretold it and I'm going to come to that. So we
went through this cycle of time and each of the four races went to their
directions and they learned their teachings. It was on Newsweek not too long
ago that eight out of ten foods that people eat on the earth are developed
here in the western hemisphere because that was our Guardianship, to learn
the teachings of the earth, and the things that grow from the erth. We were
given a sacred handshake to show when we came back together as brothers and
sisters that we still remembered the teachings. It was indicated on the stone
tablets that the Hopis had that the first brothers and sisters that would
come back to them would come as turtles across the land. They would be human
beings, but they would come as turtles. So when the time came close the Hopis
were at a special village to welcome the turtles that would come across the
land and they got up in the morning and looked out at the sunrise. They
looked out across the desert and they saw the Spanish Conquistadores coming,
covered in armour, like turtles across the land. So this was them. So they
went out to the Spanish man and they extended their hand hoping for the
handshake but into the hand the Spanish man dropped a trinket. And so word
spread throughout North America that there was going to be a hard time, that
maybe some of the brothers and sisters had forgotten the sacredness of all
things and all the human beings were going to suffer for this on the earth.
So tribes began to send people to the mounds to have missions to try to
figure out how they could survive. At that time there were 100,000 cities in
the Mississippi Valley alone, called the mound civilization: cities built on
great mounds. Those mounds are still there. If you ever go out to Ohio or the
Mississippi Valley, they're tourist attractions now. There was 100,000 cities
of Native people and they were wondering how they could survive. They began
to try to learn to live off the land because they knew a hard time was going
to come. They began to send people to have visions to see how we could
survive this time. People came on the east coast and they went across this
land to the east and they were told in the prophecies that we should try to
remind all the people that would come here of the sacredness of all things.
If we could do that, then there would be peace on earth. But if we did not do
that, when the roads went clear from east to west, and when the other races
and colors of the Earth had walked clear across this land, if by that time we
had not come together as a human family, the Great Spirit would grab the
earth with his hand and shake it. And so if you read the treaty negotiations
from Red Jacket of the Six Nations on the east coast of this land clear to
Chief Joseph and Chief Seattle on the west coast of this land, they all said
the same thing. Chief Joseph said, "I accord you the right, and I hope
you accord me the right, to live in this land." Always we were trying to
live together. But instead of living together, you all know there was separation,
there was segregation. They separated the races: they separated the Indians,
and they separated the blacks. In the state of Washington it was against the
law for an Asian to marry a white person up until not too long ago. There was
separation. So when
they got to the west coast of this land the elders that were made aware of
these prophecies said they would then begin to build a black ribbon. And on
this black ribbon there would move a bug. And when you begin to see this bug
moving on the land, that was the sign for the First Shaking of the Earth. The
First Shaking of the Earth would be so violent that this bug would be shaken
off the earth into the air and it would begin to move and fly in the air. And
by the end of this shaking this bug will be in the air around the world.
Behind it would be a trail of dirt and eventually the whole sky of the entire
earth would become dirty from these trails of dirt, and this would cause many
diseases that would get more and more complicated. So the bug moving on the
land, of course I it's easy to see now. In 1908 the Model-T Ford was mass
produced for the first time. So the elders knew the First Shaking of the
Earth was about to come about that's the First World War. In the First World
War the airplane came into wide usage for the first time. That was that bug
moving into the sky. And so they knew something very important would happen.
There would be an attempt to make peace on earth on the west coast of this
land and so the elders began to watch for this. They began to hear that there
was going to be a League of Nations in San Francisco so the elders gathered
in Arizona around 1920 or so and they wrote a letter to Woodrow Wilson. They
asked if the Indian people could be included in the League of Nations. At
that time the United States Supreme Court had held that a reservation is a
separate and semi- sovereign nation, not a part of the United States but
protected by it. This became a concern because people didn't want the
reservations to become more and more separate. They didn't want them to be
considered nations. So they did not write back and the Native people were
left out of the League of Nations, so that circle was incomplete. In the
League of Nations circle there was a southern door, the yellow people; there was
a western door, the black people; there was a northern door, the white
people; but the eastern door was not attended. The elders knew that peace
would not come on the earth until the circle of humanity is complete, until
all the four colors sat in the circle and shared their teachings, then peace
would come on earth. So they
knew things would happen. Things would speed up a little bit. There would be
a cobweb built around the earth, and people would talk across this cobweb.
When this talking cobweb, the telephone, was built around the earth, a sign
of life would appear in the east, but it would tilt and bring death. It would
come with the sun. But the sun itself would rise one day not in the east but
in the west. So the elders said when you see the sun rising in the east and
you see the sign of life reversed and tilted in the east, you know that the
Great Death is to come upon the earth, and now the Great Spirit will grab the
earth again in His hand and shake it and this shaking will be worse than the
first. So the sign of life reversed and tilted, we call that the Swastika,
and the rising sun in the east was the rising sun of Japan. These two symbols
are carved in stone in Arizona. When the elders saw these two flags, these
were the signs that the earth was to be shaken again. The
worse misuse of the Guardianship of the fire is called the "gourd of
ashes". They said the gourd of ashes will fall from the air. It will
make the people like blades of grass in the prairie fire and things will not
grow for many seasons. I saw on television not too long ago that they were
talking about the atomic bomb, the gourd of ashes. They said it was the
best-kept secret in the history of the United States., The elders wanted to
speak about it in 1920. They would have spoken of it and foretold it's coming
if they could have entered into the League of Nations. The elders tried to
contact President Roosevelt and ask him not to use the gourd of ashes because
it would have a great effect on the earth and eventually cause even greater
destruction and a the Third Shaking of the Earth, the Third World War. I'll
get to that in a few minutes. So they
knew after the Second Shaking of the Earth when they saw the gourd of ashes
fall from the sky then there would be an attempt to make peace on the other
side of this land. And because the peace attempt on the west coast had
failed, they would build a special house on the east coast of this Turtle
Island, and all the nations and peoples of the earth would come to this house
and it would be called the House of Mica and it would shine like the mica on
the desert shines. So the elders began to see they were building the United
Nations made out of glass that reflects like the mica on the desert so they
knew this was the House of mica and all the peoples of the earth should go to
it. So they met and talked about this. They said that in the 1920's they had
written and they had not been responded to, so they said this time we better
go to the front door of the House of Mica because things might get a lot
worse. So elders representing a number of tribes I believe drove to New York
City. When the United Nations opened they went to the front door of the house
of Mica and they said these words: "We
represent the indigenous people of North America and we wish to address the
nations of the Earth. We're going to give you four days to consider whether
or not we will be allowed to speak." They
retreated to one of the Six Nations Reserves in New York State. The Six
Nations Reserves are keepers of the Great Law of Peace of the prophet that
appeared here in North America, Dagonnorida. And this Law of Peace is still
recited, it takes four days between sunrise and noon. Each year an Indian, by
memory, must recite it about this time of year. Four days later they came
back and I believe the nations of the earth heard that the Indians had come
to the door. And they voted to let the Indians in. They wanted to hear what
they had to say. But the United States is one of five nations of the United
Nations with a veto power and still they were concerned because this time the
Native sovereignty was even stronger. And I believe they vetoed the entrance
of the Native people. So then
they knew other things would happen on the Earth, and the United Nations
would not bring peace on earth but there would be continuing and deepening
confusion. And that the little wars would get worse. So they retreated to the
Six Nations Reserve and they talked about this and they said the time is
really getting close now 1949. They said, "We're going to divide the
United States into four sections and each year we're going to have a
gathering. We're going to call these the 'White of Peace Gatherings'."
They began to have these around 1950. And they authorized certain men to
speak in English for the first time about these prophecies. One that
I used to listen to many times, over and over, was Thomas Benyaka. He is a
Hopi man. I believe he is still living. He was authorized to speak in English
about what was on the stone tablets and he has dedicated his lifetime to
doing this. And they began to tell us at these gatherings, they said "In
your lifetime you're going to see things happen" It was strange when
they said it in the 1950's and 1960's but now it seems very clear. But then
it was unusual. They said, "You're going to see a time in your life when
men are going to become women. The Great Spirit is going to make a man on the
earth. He made him a man but this man is going to say, "I know more than
the Great Spirit. I'm going to change myself to be a woman:" And they
will even nurse children. The Great Spirit is going to make the woman on the
earth. She's going to say, "I know more than the Great Spirit. I want to
be a man. And she will be physically a man." This sounded strange. And
maybe in a vision they saw Boy-George. They
said "You're going to see a time in your lifetime when the human beings
are going to find the blueprint that makes us." They call that now, DNA,
deoxyribonucleic acid. They said, "They re going to cut this
blueprint." They call that now, genetic splicing. And they said,
"They're going to make new animals upon the earth, and they're going to
think these are going to help us. And it's going to seem like they do help
us. But maybe the grandchildren and greatgrandchildren are going to suffer."
I don't know if you heard on the news last night in the United States now
they have genetically spliced a new germ, never before released in the
environment. They want to release this germ into the cottonfields of the
south because they say it will rejuvenate and strengthen the cotton. They had
scientists on the CBS Evening News the other night talking about it. One
scientist said what the elders said in the 1950's, that this will not harm
us. We've put it in a lot of tests. And the other scientist said what the
elders also said, no, this has never before been in the environment. We have
no idea what it will do. The elders spoke of it long ago. They said it would
see harmless, but it may be able to hurt the greatgrandchildren. The elders
said long ago, "They will release these things, they will use
them." This is going to be released not too long from now. They are
making new animals. The elders talked about this. They said, "You will
see new animals, and even the old animals will come back, animals that people
thought had disappeared. They will find them here and there. They'll begin to
reappear." They
said (and I know many of you are from tribes that also have this prophecy,
"You're going to see a time when the eagle will fly its highest in the
night and it will land upon the moon." Some tribes say the eagle will
circle the moon. Some tribes say the eagle will fly it's highest in the
night. "And at that time," they say, "Many of the Native
people will be sleeping," which symbolically means they have lost their
teachings. There are some tribes that say it will be as if they are frozen:
they've been through the long winter. But they say, "When the eagle
flies it's highest in the night, that will be the first light of a new day.
That will be the first thawing of spring." Of course, at the first light
of a new day, if you've stayed up all night, you notice it's really dark. And
the first light, you want to see it, but you can't. It sneaks up on you. You
want to see it change but it's dark and then pretty soon it's getting light
before you know it. We're at that time now. The Eagle has landed on the moon,
1969. When that spaceship landed they sent back the message, "The Eagle
has landed." Traditionally, Native people from clear up in the Inuit
region, they have shared with us this prophecy, clear down to the Quechuas in
South America. They shared with us that they have this prophecy. When they
heard those first words, "The Eagle has landed," they knew that was
the start of a new time and a new power for Native people. There was
absolutely nothing strong before us now. We may do anything we wish. In 1776
when the United States Government printed the dollar, in one claw [of the
eagle], if you've ever noticed, there is an olive branch in this claw. They
said that represented peace. The Indian elders shared with me in South Dakota
that to them that represents the enslavement of black people. In the
prophecies of the Six Nations people they say there will be two great
uprisings by black people to free themselves. We've seen one about 1964.
There will be a second, more violent one to come. I'll get back to what that
means in a minute. In the other claw is 13 arrows. The founding fathers of
the United States said that represents the 13 States. But the elders say that
represents the enslavement of the Native people. When the Eagle landed on the
moon, they decided to print a special silver dollar to commemorate that. I
don't know how many of you noticed it. The original design showed the
spaceship landing on the moon but at the last minute it was changed to an
actual eagle. And in the eagle's claws is the olive branch, but the arrows
are gone. The elders said, "That's our prophecy we have been
released." There was one more uprising coming for the black race of people
and then they will be released and this is also going to have an effect on
Native people, a good effect. There's a whole new set of prophecies from the
Iriquois people about that and I won't have time to go into tht this morning. But
we're in that time now. We're between the first light of a new day and the
sunrise. The sunrise is about to come and when it comes up everyone is going
to see it. But you know how it is in the village there's a few people that
get up early, and there are some that sleep until noon. I'm probably one of
those that sleeps until noon. They
said when that Eagle lands on the moon, the powers will begin to come back to
us. As an alcoholic person, I feel that one of our greatest diseases is
alcoholism. Within seven days of the time of the Eagle landing on the moon,
the first Native alcoholism program was started on an Apache reservation in
Arizona. Within seven days of the time the Eagle landed on the moon, the
Freedom of Indian Religion Act was introduced into the United States
Congress. Eventually it was passed in November of 1978, signed by President
Carter, making the song that Kevin [Kevin Locke, a famous Indian Baha'i who
spends his time travelling around the world sharing the North American Indian
culture through dance and music] sang legal to sing in every state of the
United States. It was punishable at one time to go to jail for 10 years
and/or a $10,000 fine for singing a song or doing a suat. This was changed in
1978 the legislation was introduced in 1969, less than seven days after the
Eagle landed on the moon. These are the physical manifestations of the
spiritual prophecies that we have. So he
said at this time you're going to see that things will speed up, that people
on the earth will move faster and faster. Grandchildren will not have time
for grandparents. Parents will not have time for children. It will seem like
time is going faster and faster. The elders advised us that as things speed
up, you yourself should slow down. The faster things go, the slower you go.
Because there's going to come a time when the earth is going to be shaken a
third time. The Great Spirit has been shaking the earth two times: the First
and Second World Wars to remind us that we are a human family, to remind us
that we should have greeted each other as brothers and sisters. We had a
chance after each shaking to come together in a circle that would have
brought peace on earth, but we missed that. Tonight
they were talking on the news about the sign for the Third Shaking of the
Earth. I heard it while sitting in the airport after I missed my plane. They
said they're going to build what the elders called the "house in the
sky". In the 1950's they talked about this: they will build a house and
throw it in the sky. When you see people living in the sky on a permanent
basis, you will know the Great Spirit is about to grab the earth, this time
not with one hand, but with both hands. Many of you of Native background may
have heard "the spirits will warn you twice, but the third time you
stand alone." We've had two warnings, the first two World Wars, but now
we stand alone in the third one. As it says in the Baha'i Writings, there
will be no-one protected. When this house is in the sky, the Great Spirit is
going to shake the Earth a third time and whoever dropped that gourd of
ashes, upon them it is going to drop. They say
at that time there will be villages in this land so great that when you stand
in the villages you will not be able to see out, and in the prophecies these
are called "villages of stone", or "prairies of stone".
And they said the stone will grow up from the ground and you will not be able
to see beyond the village. At the center of each and every one of these
villages will be Native people, and they will walk as "hollow"
shells upon a "prairie of stone". They said "hollow
shells" which means they will have lost any of their traditional
understandings; they will be empty within. They said after the Eagle lands on
the moon some of these people will begin to leave these "prairies of
stone" and come home and take up some of the old ways and begin to make
themselves reborn, because it's a new day. But many will not. And they said
there's going to come a time when in the morning the sun is going to rise and
this village of stone will be there, and in the evening there would just be
steam coming from the ground. They will be as steam. And in the center of
many of those villages of stone when they turn to steam, the Native people
will turn to steam also because they never woke up and left the village. And this
used to bother me when I was a young man. I used to ask the elders,
"Isn't there anything we can do?" And they said, well, it's just
that way that if a person does not have the spiritual eyes to see, it's very
hard to show them. Or if they don't have the ears to hear, it's very hard to
speak with them. We wish that we could go get them all but we can't. It's
just that some are not going to wake up. But some will wake up . And so
they say there's going to be the Third Shaking of the Earth. It's not going
to be a good thing to see but we will survive it. We will survive it. And when
we survive it, then there's going to be another attempt to make a circle of
the human beings on the earth. And this time the Native people will not have
to petition to join but will be invited to enter the circle because they say
the attitude towards us will have changed by then, and people will let us
into the circle and all the four colors of the four directions will share
their wisdom, and there will be a peace on earth. This is coming close. A lot
of times when I share this message of the prophecies, people say, "Can't
we change it? Could we stop it?" The answer is yes. The prophecies are
always "either/or". We could have come together way back there in
1565, and we could have had a great civilization, but we didn't. Always along
the path of these prophecies, we could have come together. We still could. If
we could stop the racial and religious disharmony, we would not have to go
through this third shaking. The elders say the chance of that is pretty slim.
It seems to me like it's pretty slim, too. But they say what we can do is we
can "cushion" it. The word we use is "cushion". We can
cushion it so it won't be quite as bad. How do we do this? We do this by
sharing the teaching that will reunite us. The Hopis in their prophecies say
there will be a religion that comes here. Maybe it will be true and bring
unity, or maybe it will not be true and not bring unity. If it does not bring
unity, a second religion will come, and the people of this religion are known
in the Hopi language as the Bahani, the people of Baha. Ni means "people
of". So I was looking for the people of Baha. I wondered who the people
of Baha were. I was a Baha'i for quite a while before somebody told me that
baha'i means "people of Bah". I thought, "0 my God!" Here
I was looking for it all these years and I never even noticed it! And I found
it! I was stubborn and didn't want to become a "Baha'i but my
grandfather who passed away, you know he must have found out about it in the
next realm because he came back to me four times to tell me, "Hey, look
at that again, look at that again. Look one more time." Bah, it means
"light or glory". Baha'i means "follower of the light",
or the "people of Bah". We've been waiting for these people for a
long time. They say they will bring a Teaching that will unite the earth. So
we need to share this Teaching. They say the fire will come from the North.
So here we are, in a circle, in the North, talking about the Bahnis, the "people
of Bah", and the teachings of Baha'u'llah. When I
heard about these [prophecies], none of them made any sense. Now most of it
has come to pass. Last I heard on the news, they said the "house in the
sky" will be put up in 1996. It was going to be put up sooner, but it's
been postponed for four years. Maybe it will be postponed again. But in not
too long it's going to go up. The earth as we know it is going to change. Each of
us carry, I believe, a sacred drop of light. In the Indian teachings, they
say it takes nine ancestors to agree before conception can occur. Nine
ancestors of the husband and the wife have to come together in the spiritual
realm and say; "We will bring life," before a woman can become
pregnant. At that time the soul is born. I delivered
my first daughter and a man from the Blood Reserve who went to South Dakota
and was the first Bloodin 82 years he came to my house by coincidence four
days before my wife went into labor. Each night we had a ceremony, and on the
morning after the fourth ceremony my wife went into labor at sunrise. And
that night, at sunset, my daughter was born. And I took her out, and I cut
the cord, and I noticed at the sundance that what people do in South Dakota,
they pass the pipe three times, and they don't take it until the fourth time.
And even in Washington I've heard the coming of a child is like the coming of
a new pipe. When I was delivering my daughter I happened to notice that the
skull came out three times, and on the fourth time, her head came out like the
coming of a pipe. First I put her on the mother instantly and after a few
minutes I cleaned her up and I washed her up. There was a circle of people
just about like this around my wife and there were people of different
backgrounds and we looked up and through the ceiling came a small drop of
blue light. When it got close to the child you could not see it. That was her
soul, she will carry that light throughout earth. In that is her special
uniqueness as a being, a spiritual power. In that are gifts. After we
go through and then we carry it back here and it radiates to she mind but for
some reason in this cycle we've been in the lower natures, the animal
thought. But now we're going into the human world. The mind is going to be
opened up to the radiance of our own soul and the cycle of the human beings
is going to come back, and something so good is going to happen on the earth
that it cannot even be described. The elders say it in different ways. They
say, there will be grass at that time when they make that circle and bring
the peace on earth. There will be blades of grass that have not quite come
through the earth. Even they will try to push themselves up to be part of
that day when the sun rises. The elders explain it like this: out here,
outside this building, long before there was a fair ground here there were
Native people. They say many of these Native people in different tribes were
aware of these things, and they told the children. Their children grew up. You
know, one time the scientist came to the Hopis and they said, "We want
to take a piece of the stone tablets." They said "We want to take
the stone tablets to a scientific laboratory to determine how old they
are." The Hopis said, "We know how old they are". Well, the
scientists said, "We want to confirm it." Well, the Hopis let them
take a little piece, and they did that by the carbon dating method. They
found these tablets were at least 10,000 years old, maybe 50,000. So when I
say, "Thousands of years ago, there were Native people that spoke of
these things," that's exactly what I mean. They told their children and
thousands of years ago, their children grew up and told their children, and
then their children grew up and told their children. And they spoke about the
people that will live in this time. And now
it is us. We are the ones they spoke of long ago. They say to be alive, to
come into creation and to live upon the earth at this time is a great honor.
In the cycle of time, from the beginning to the end, this time we are in now
will change the purification of all things. They say this is the hardest time
to live, but it is also the greatest honor to be alive to live and see this. In the
state of Washington in 1855 they signed treaties and made 22 Indian reservations.
They wanted to do it before there were problems. They thought they were
advanced at the time, they had learned from what had happened elsewhere. They
made 22 Indian reservations and the elders spoke in 1855 and they said,
"We're going to become weaker, and you are going to become stronger, and
if you wish to break these treacies, you may do so." They said,
"But there's going to come a time when the earth itself will rise up and
purify itself and this will be announced. It will be announced by the
speaking of more than 16 Great Ones on the West Coast of this land. And when
the 16 Great Ones speak, the purification will have begun. There was a new
[?] five years ago when Mt. Saint Helens, one of the 16 great volcanoes on
the West Coast of this land, "spoke". The Seattle Times did a
special interest story. They went over to Watson Totus and Woodrow Bill. It
was Woodrow Bill's son that made this hoop that I brought here today, my good
brother Randolf Bill. They asked Watson Totus and Woodrow Bill as spiritual
people of the Yakuma nation, "What does this mean?" What they said
was so profound that they didn't put it on page 16, they put it on the front
page of the Seattle Times. They said, "This means that the races and
nations of the earth should slow down and come together and talk to each
other." That's exactly what it meant. And we had four years and four
days to do that. Four
years and four days later, Mt. Saint Helens erupted the second time. That was
last spring, just about this time. That was our grace period. We could have
still done something really good. But now things are going to speed up. Now
things are going to really happen fast. Time is going to go so fast. The more
we share the Message, the more we will cushion the Third Shaking of the
Earth, and the easier it will be on ourselves and others. A good
friend of mine in Montana whose grandmother just passed away last year, the
last thing she said to him was "Make a place for yourself in the
mountains because the air will become so hot down here," where they were
at on a reservation, that it would be hard to breath. And it won't be long,
That's the last thing she told her grandson when she was passing. Go on the
mountains and make a place for yourself. Put some things there that you can
survive with. People are going to run to the mountains to survive and the
Native people must be ready for this. |
