Kachina Hopi. The Hopi Blue Star
here is an article by
Gary A. David to start with....
Throughout history comets have been the harbingers of doom, civil wars,
assassinations, and political unrest. The first century Roman historian and
naturalist Pliny the Elder described these celestial phenomena by using the term
Crinitae "... as if shaggy with bloody locks, and surrounded by bristles like
hair." [The Natural History of Pliny,http://books.google.com/] They frequently
bring "disaster," dis- meaning "apart" or "asunder" and aster meaning "star."
Between October 23 and 24, 2007, another "hairy star" named Comet 17P/Holmes
literally exploded from a magnitude of 17 to a magnitude of 2.8. (The lower the
magnitude, the brighter the star.) In other words, it increased in brightness by
a factor of a nearly a million in just a few hours. Sky and Telescope magazine
has called it "the weirdest new object to appear in the sky in memory." [skyandtelescope.com].
This periodic comet with a revolutionary period of seven years was originally
discovered on November 6th, 1892 by British amateur astronomer Edwin Holmes when
it it also suddenly increased in magnitude, then died down again for the next
115 years.
The comet's core made of rock and ice is only about 3.5 kilometers in diameter,
but its coma formed by the gas and dust given off is massive. This greenish-blue
ball coldly blazing in an inclined and elliptical solar orbit unexpectedly has
become the largest object in our solar system -- even bigger than our sun. (See
coma's expansion.) The mutability of its ion tail makes it look somewhat like a
celestial jellyfish. We don't have to worry, though, because it always stays
between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It is actually more of a portend than a
threat.
Comet Homes burst out of the side of the constellation Perseus. (This is, of
course, an illusion, since the celestial object is not actually "in" Perseus but
in line with the constellation from our perspective on Earth.) This legendary
king of Mycenae is famous for lopping off the head of the Gorgon named Medusa.
We recall that this creature with snakes for hair could turn anyone to stone
with her gaze.
Perseus carries her head across the night sky, with Algol forming one of her
eyes. Richard Hinckley Allen describes this so-called "Demon Star": "Astrologers
of course said that it was the most unfortunate, violent, and dangerous star in
the heavens" [Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning, Dover Publications, Inc.]
This is not merely a Greek connotation. Agol is gruesomely referred to in China
as Tseih She, or "Piled-up Corpses". Hebrew apocryphal lore associate Algol with
Lilith, AdamÃs first wife, whom patriarchal sources falsely identify as evil.
The etymology of the Greek mythological hero is also interesting. Perseus might
be from the ancient Greek verb, perthein, "to waste, ravage, sack, destroy",
some form of which appears in Homeric epithets. Cyrus Gordon, known for his
daring theories, proposed that Perseus is a Semitic name, from p-r-s, "to cut."
Comets have long been known as omens of the End Times. The Hopi Indians of
Arizona have a legend of the Blue Star Katsina called Sakwa Sohu. Frank Waters
and Hopi informant Oswald White Bear Fredericks in their popular Book of the
Hopi proclaim: "The end of all Hopi ceremonialism will come when a kachina
removes his mask during a dance in the plaza before uninitiated." [Penguin Books,
1987, 1963] This is rumored to have recently happened on the Hopi Reservation.
Note: Some readers may be familiar with the wooden katsina (plural katsinam,
singular form also spelled kachina) dolls that the Hopis carve. Katsinam are not
gods per se but spirits that act as mediators between gods and humans. They may
take the form of any animal, plant, celestial body, or otherworldly creature.
During the spring and early summer the Hopis perform a ceremonial cycle of
masked katsina dances as a plea for rain and the general well being of the tribe.
The Hopi elder White Feather of the spiritually important Bear Clan describes
nine different signs signaling the end of the Fourth World (our current era).
The final warning is as follows:
"And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the
heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as
a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease."
[http://www.burlingtonnews.net/hopiprophecy.html]
Waters continues:
"World War III will be started by those people who first received the light [the
divine wisdom or intelligence] in the other old countries [India, China, Egypt,
Palestine, Africa]. That time is not far off. It will come when the Saqusohuh [Sakwa
Sohu] Kachina dances in the plaza. He represents a blue star, far off and yet
invisible, which will make its appearance soon."
The Hopi word sakwa literally means "blue-green", or "turquoise." The photos of
Comet Holmes clearly show this particular color. In Hopi cosmology this color
symbolically represents the intercardinal direction of southwest. From the Hopi
perspective of their villages, the San Francisco Peaks lie to the southwest.
These are the sacred snowy mountains where the katsinam, or spirit messengers,
live for half of the year. The Hopi term sakwi, by the way, means "worn out," "broken
down," "ruined" or "destroyed". The Mayan word sak, on the other hand, means "white".
It is interesting to note that for the Maya of southern Mexico and Central
America, blue symbolized sacrifice. In the later, more corrupt stages of the
Classic Maya culture, the bodies of those humans who were to be sacrificed to
the gods were painted blue. Director Mel Gibson graphically portrays this in the
2006 film Apocalypto.
In an attempt to present a parable for our own time, the movie also shows an old
storyteller who conveys the legend of a man who is "drenched deep in sadness."
All the animals respond by giving the man their particular virtues. He receives
keen eyesight from the vulture, strength from the jaguar, and the secrets of the
earth from the serpent. The deer remarks that this will finally make the man
happy because he has all that he needs. But the owl replies:
"No, I saw a hole in the Man, deep like a hunger he will never fill. It is what
makes him sad and what makes him want. He will go on taking and taking, until
one day the World will say, 'I am no more and I have nothing left to give.'"
The late Robert Ghost Wolf, of mixed Hopi, Iroquois, and Lakota descent, speaks
about star prophecy in relation to the conclusion of GaiaÃs current cycle:
"The story of the Blue Kachina is an old story, very old. I have been aware of
the story of the Blue Kachina since I was very young. I was told this story by
grandfathers who are now between 80 and 108 years of age. It was told to me that
the first Blue Kachina would be seen at the dances, and would make his
appearance known to the children in the plaza during the night dance. The event
would tell us that the end times are very near. The Blue Star Kachina would
physically appear in our heavens which would mean that we are in the end times."
[http://www.wolflodge.org/bluestar/bluestar.htm]
According to Dr. Ghost Wolf, this katsina is also known as Nanga Sohu, or
Chasing Star Katsina. The Hopi word nanga means "to pursue" and sohu means
"star." Sometimes this katsina refers to Venus because its morning and evening
appearances seem to chase each other.
Ethnographer Jesse Walter Fewkes conversely says that Nanga Sohu comes in two
distinct versions depending on the village in which he dances. The katsina of
Oraibi has a single four-pointed star in the middle of his mask and trailing
eagle feathers similar to that of a Plains Indian war bonnet. [Drawing below
from Hopi Katchinas, Dover Publications, Inc.]
In the village of Walpi, however, the most prominent feature of this spirit
being is the three four-pointed stars arranged horizontally in a row across the
top of his head. In this case he is referred to as simply Sohu Katsina. These
stars bring to mind the most important constellation in Hopi cosmology, Orion,
in particular his belt. The prominent sidereal triad is significantly composed
of blue or blue-white stars.
Incidentally, the Hopi word soto means "stars" while soti means "end."
In August of 2007, a few months before Comet Holmes erupted, headlines also
referred to a "bizarre star" named Mira (as in "miraculous") located in the
constellation Cetus, the Whale. This ferocious leviathan was, by the way, turned
into stone by Medusa's severed head brandished by Perseus.
Actually Mira is a binary star 418 light-years away. (Because vast distances act
as a sort of time machine, the starlight we currently see -- as of 2007 -- left
its sidereal point in 1589 AD, the year the ill-fated city of Hiroshima was
founded.) Mira A is also an oscillating variable star and was the first
non-supernova variable star discovered, with the possible exception of Algol.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mira] We recall that Algol in Perseus was known as
the "eye of the demon."
Mira, at any rate, is a completely unique astronomical object because of its
glowing blue, comet-like tail that extends over a distance of 13 light-years.
The Hopi also predicted that soon after the arrival of the Blue Star Katsina,
the Red Star Katsina (Paha Sohu) would come and act as the Purifier. It may be
significant that Mira is a large red giant star with a long blue tail. (See the
NASA video of Mira's path. QuickTime needed.)
On March 25th of 1996 Comet Hyakutake came within 9.3 million miles of Earth. It
was distinctly bluish-turquoise in color and had the longest tail ever seen. It
is also a long-period comet, making it previous appearance about 15,000 years
ago.
In the following year Comet Hale-Bopp dazzled spectators with it double
blue-yellow tail. It was more luminous than any star except the brightest one,
Sirius, and was visible to the naked eye for a record eighteen months. It last
came around about 4,200 years ago. (See YouTube time lapse video of Comet
Hale-Bopp. Also watch Comet Hale-Bopp Nucleus Animation.)
In 1997 Hale-Bopp also fueled the HeavenÃs Gate mass suicide pact at Rancho
Santa Fe, California. Leader Marshall Applewhite and his thirty-eight cult
members believed that an alien spacecraft carrying Jesus was hidden behind the
comet. By that time millennial fever had clearly set in.
It may be more than a coincidence, though, that both Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp
passed right between the eyes of Medusa's head in Perseus (though along
perpendicular paths) on April 11th -- exactly one year apart!
Now, i guess it is time to let the Hopi say something about this topic. I believe that there exists a different way to write about these topics. Too many words, create confusion, and are often put together i the aim to sell an article, or to deviate informations on the matter. So I will add some more information just to make you inderstand what it is all about.
And now,
Here is
a small section of the Hopi prophecy….Please read on.
“The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This the
elders everywhere know. The Signs over many years have been fulfilled, and so
few are left.”This is the First Sign: We are told of the coming of the
white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana men who took the land
that was not theirs. And men who struck their enemies with thunder.
“This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels
filled with voices. In his youth, my father saw this prophecy come true with his
eyes — the white men bringing their families in wagons across the prairies.”
“This is the Third Sign: A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long
horns, will overrun the land in large numbers. These White Feather saw with his
eyes — the coming of the white men’s cattle.”
“This is the Fourth Sign: The land will be crossed by snakes of iron.”
“This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider’s
web.”
“This is the Sixth sign: The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone
that make pictures in the sun.”
“This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many
living things dying because of it.”
“This is the Eight Sign: You will see many youth, who wear their hair long like
my people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn their ways and wisdom.
“And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the
heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as
a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease.
“These are the Signs that great destruction is coming. The world shall rock to
and fro. The white man will battle against other people in other lands — with
those who possessed the first light of wisdom.”
“There will be many columns of smoke and fire such as White Feather has seen the
white man make in the deserts not far from here. Only those which come will
cause disease and a great dying.”
The United States is filled with pyramids, hieroglyphs,
petroglyphs, artifacts and sacred grounds to rival Egypt... The Cultures who
preceded our modern society recorded events and prophecies for the benefit of
those who would follow.
Their messages and divine creations are offered here for your interpretation.
Before the 60s, astronomers believed that the most powerful
event in the universe was the explosion that occurs when stars collapse near the
end of their life. The resultant supernova gives off massive amounts of energy...However,
with the improved drugs of the 60s, astronomers were able to see all sorts of
things.
They discovered something many times more powerful than any supernova.
Gamma ray bursts (GRB) burst into the astrophysics scene with an a roar,
"What the hell is that?"
For twenty-five years they didn't even know where they came from...
"If the burst had occurred somewhere in our galactic neighborhood, it would have
been so bright that night would've turned into day,"...In may 1997 the biggest
GRB was discovered.
It was huge. After 80 days, the fireball's diameter was 10 trillion kilometers
(6.2 trillion miles), or 85 times the diameter of our solar system - more than
600,000 times the volume... But the cause is still a mystery...
So what might happen if one of these babies went off in our galaxy?... About 15%
of the spiral galaxies we can see have active galactic nuclei. OR 15% are in
their active phase that occurs after a GRB. But, does our galaxy go active?...
The solar wind pushed cosmic dust out of our solar system and keeps it at bay.
The super waves of light, gamma and X rays that radiate from an active galactic
nuclei would create a global disaster...
If you agree with the evidence found in the ice cores, that our galaxy
experiences active galactic nuclei every 10,000 years or so, then something is
definitely coming...If our galactic center goes active every 10,000 years and
the gamma and X rays travel at the speed of light, there are at least two sets
of super waves heading this way.
Can we know when they will hit?
Perhaps the solar wind can warn us... messages may exist in some of the ancient
cultures of this planet.
Enter the Hopi... The history tells of three worlds that came before this one.
Each one older than the previous. Each ended when the blue star appeared. These
indians say the blue star is about to appear again. Based on the dust that lies
between our solar system and the center of the galaxy, an active galactic nuclei
would appear as a blue star...
Native Americans believed in constellations
in many cases they believed in the same formations for stars that we do. Their
constellations seemed to be marked by the same knowledge that western
civilizations on the other part of the globe was aware of. They call them by
different names but the star arrangements were very similar.
They believed in maps that have been drawn. That they existed
at the center of the earth or Turtle Island. [To the Anishinabe, North America
is Turtle Island.] That beyond them was the sky and that beyond the sky were
dimensional portals or sky holes as they called them. Beyond the dimensional
portals was an area that they call the Ocean of Pitch, were the beauty of the
night sky and the galaxies spun out towards them. Beyond that were the
boundaries of the universe. And that set along the rim at the boundaries of the
universe were 4 different extraterrestrial groups.
They believed in Achivas (kivas) the sacred ceremonial places
to honor the earth. These are the places that Shaman would go into the earth to
do their most sacred work. The reason that Achivas are built into the earth for
sacred work is because according to legend, at the destruction at each of the
ages of mankind the people that were pure of heart went down into the buxom of
the earth and there remained protected. According to them they dwelt in the
center of the earth with a group of beings that they call the Ant People.
Drawings of the Ant People are remarkable similar to the Grey
aliens of today - large heads - little stocky bodies - long spindly fingers - in
some cases 4, 5, or 6 digits. Some of these drawings have the indication of
telepathic thought waves coming from the beings' head themselves...
Early Dakota stories speak of the Tiyami home of the
ancestors as being the Pleiades. Astronomy tells us that the Pleiades rise with
the sun in May and that when you die your spirit returns south to the seven
sisters.
The Hopis called the Pleiadians the Chuhukon, meaning those
who cling together. They considered themselves direct descendents of the
Pleiadians. The Navajos named the Pleiades the Sparkling Suns or the Delyahey,
the home of the Black God. The Iroquois pray to them for happiness.
The Cree came to have come to earth from the stars in spirit
form first and then became flesh and blood.
They believe that Mythic Mountain is actually
the home of the Kachinas. This mountain top is a sacred one. Being the home of
the kachina spirits it is the place where all of the large mythic beings they
honor in their rituals land.
"We come as clouds to bless the Hopi people" is a quote
passed from generation to generation.
There are some remarkable drawings that appear to be luminous
discs of light in the petroglyphs all along the south west.
The Native Americans believed that the home
of the Kachinas was on top of a mountain where there were great cloud formations.
Today we know that UFO's often hide in what we call
Lenticular Clouds... These are cloud formations that resemble UFO's and are said
to hide actual spacecraft. They do not move along as most cloud formations but
can linger in one place for hours, often sitting 5 hours in one place.
They seem to be produced to conceal the ships from the visible eye spectrum.
The Hopi Indian UFOs
Hopi Indian legends tell of a sure certainty in the future that the tribe's
faithful will be lifted to other planets on the Day of Purification. And they
watch and wait for the UFO's that will take them there.
The legend is borne of an ancient rock carving near Mishongnovi, AZ, depicting a
dome-shaped saucer object and maiden that has become a core part of the tribe's
religious beliefs. Elders in the Hopi community have said they perceive UFOs as
having a direct connection with the old petroglyph drawing and the foretelling
of visitors from space who arrive for the Day of Purification.
On that day, "all wicked people and wrong-doers will be punished or destroyed,"
said the Prescott Daily Courier in 1995. The newspaper reported on a visit to
Prescott by Hope Chief Dan Katchongva, who with two others from the tribe came
to investigate "the rash of UFOs in the summer of 1970."
The chief told the newspaper that,
"we believe other planets are inhabited and that our prayers are heard there.
The arrow on which the dome-shaped object rests stands for travel through space.
The Hopi maiden on the dome-shaped drawing represents purity. Those Hopi who
survive Purification Day will travel to other planets. We, the faithful Hopi
have seen the ships and know they are true."
Chief Katchongva also told of Hopi prophecies that say his people will be
divided three times before the True White Brother arrives to take the faithful
away.
He said the first division occurred in 1906, when Chief Yukiuma were driven from
the old town of Oraibi to Hoteville.
The second division, said the chief, happened in 1969, when contact was made
with a flying saucer that whispered a message to the tribe.
The third division is said to be the precursor of the Purification day, and
until it arrives, the chief told the newspaper,
"many Hopi men wear their bang haircut that represents a window from which they
continue to look for the True White Brother who will arrive with matching pieces
of the stone petroglyph."
But Chief Dan Katchongva won't see the day come or perhaps he will. He's been
missing since 1972, lost to the tribe while walking to a valley where a UFO had
just been seen.
In September, 1993, it was reported to a UFOlogist in Salt Lake City, Utah, that
seven individuals, all prominent experts in their fields (Doctors, Scientists,
Geologists, etc.) had discovered some ancient petroglyphs in a remote canyon
southeast of Santa Fe (adjacent to LOS ALAMOS), New Mexico, near the western
edge of the Santa Fe National Forest.
The researchers were absolutely incredulous as to the subject-matter of the
ancient pictures, as they clearly showed representations of flying disks, aliens
and other similar representations...
At the Ancient Ruins in West Central Idaho along the Snake
River, the story of Beings that came from the Stars and a Galactic War was
recorded according to Indian Legend well over 30,000 years ago.
The petroglyphs depict the beings that came, their interaction with the
inhabitants of the ancient city, and the war and destruction that ensued. We are
shown their ships which are curiously triangular in shape. Similar to those that
have been recently sighted over Colorado, Arizona and California. We are also
shown the portal through which the Inter-dimensional Beings came.
You will notice how these correlate with the Sacred Amulets entrusted to us that
came from the Mississippi River Valley...
The waging of war between the Star Beings is recorded in this petroglyph. The
Star Beings and their counterparts, the two horned priests, are wreaking havoc
upon the inhabitants of the Ancient City.
We see here a petroglyph of a triangular shaped ship. We can
clearly see the retro flares representing the ship’s propulsion and movement.
The figure inside the ship represents the Star Beings.
Below the ship, we see the earth people.
To the left of the ship we see the representation of the four
peoples as is found in the Hopi petroglyphs of Arizona.
This petroglyph is located on a rock adjacent to the rock shown above. It
depicts the two horned Priest. It should be noted that the dumbbell shaped
apparatus held in his hand may represent an archtimeter.
Reference to this can be found in Alice Bailey’s writings, as
well as in the hieroglyphs of Egypt. These tools are said to have wielded the
power of life and death...
On the rocks in the area of this Ancient Ruin, there is a patina approximately
1/2” thick. This patina could only have been generated from an intense flash of
heat, in excess of 2000 degrees. The pattern of which radiates out from a
central point, like a fan. What was the source of this intense heat? A laser
beam? A TM bomb?
These are some pictures of the Kachina rocks.
These are the so called "ant men".
And take a look at what there is on the rocks!!!
NATIVE AMERICANS DREW ROCK PICTURES OF DINOSAURS 1,000 YEARS
AGO!
Ancient petroglyphs depict dinosaurs!
The great American Southwest bears the testimonies of many ancient people (referred
to as Anasazis) who left images painted or etched upon canyon walls. Many of the
drawings represented animals that they obviously saw including animals that we
no longer see today such as dinosaurs.
Ancient pictures that were painted on rock walls are referred to as "pictographs." The pictures etched into the rocks are called "petroglyphs."
Natural Bridges National Monument in Utah contains numerous
drawings that appear to be dinosaurs. This is very significant because
evolutionary philosophers claim that all dinosaurs became extinct 65 million
years ago, millions of years before humans supposedly evolved.
The champion of evolutionary philosophy is a professor at Oxford University by
the name of Richard Dawkins. He admitted that any proof that dinosaurs and
humans lived on earth at the same time "Would blow the theory of evolution right
out of the water."
For this reason, any evidence of dinosaurs depicted in ancient
human art is immediately debunked by ridicule or "scientific" denial.
After the Kachina Petroglyph was discovered, two evolutionary philosophers by
the names of Phil Senter and Sally Cole visited the site and were quick to
discredit the petroglyphs. They admitted that the etchings were very old, but
claimed that they were two different drawings . . . and that the feet were just
stains from mud particles. Answers in Genesis responded to the discrediting of
the petroglyphs by observing that NO SCIENTIFIC TESTS WERE MADE, just visual
observation with the use of a pair or binoculars. (This is "science?") The "researchers"
didn't even carry a ladder to the site in order to get a closer view. It appears
they had made their critical conclusions long before they saw the famous
petroglyph!
The report by Sentor and Cole was quick to verify the philosophy that dinosaurs
became extinct 65 million years ago.
65 MILLION YEAR AGO?
The very idea that life evolved on earth over 65 million years ago is an
incredible fabrication. The fact is, science has proven that the sun is
gradually shrinking in size at the rate of 1% per thousand years. That is not
enough to alter life on earth if you believe that creation occurred about 6,000
years ago . . . but 100,000 years ago the sun would have been twice the size it
is today. The waters in the oceans would have been so hot they could have cooked
lobsters but not supported life!
So, as you can see, what we think about anything we know, is 100%
of the time a fixed concept. This is the gratest mistake we could make,
concerning nature, and everything that goes with it. So, we should blame this
pregiudice, and try to understand things using a mobile and flexible, changeable,
elastic, method. Liquid thought should be introduced, and tought. Universal
thinking, which is the maximum expression of this kind of prejudice, should be
investigated and explained in the prospective of prevarication, power and
selfish attitude. Uni, in fact, versum, indicates one, and one solution only,
which is considered to be the word of God. Unfortuately, this mono dimension, is
pure fiction, and multiversal harmony is the path creation follows to express
itself.
Thank to Surat J Gordon for the wonderful picture.
Try to translate this.
Who were the Hopi?
The Hopi are one of America’s oldest Indian tribes.
They primarily live on the Hopi Reservation in northeastern Arizona. The Hopi
area according to the 2000 census has a population of 6,946 people.
According to Hopi oral tradition, the Hopi are a gathering of diverse groups
representing clans from different areas, now identifying culturally as one group
of people with a single language
Culture and Mythology
The name Hopi is a shortened form of what these Native American people call
themselves, Hopituh Shi-nu-mu, “The Peaceful People” or “Peaceful Little Ones”.
The Hopi religion is anti-war. To be Hopi is to strive toward this concept,
which involves a state of total reverence and respect for all things, to be at
peace with these things, and to live in accordance with the instructions of
Maasaw, the Creator or Caretaker of Earth. The Hopi observe their traditional
ceremonies for the benefit of the entire world.
The various Hopi villages have slightly different versions of their mythology,
so it becomes difficult to state “what the Hopi believe” with any accuracy.
Major Deities
Most Hopi accounts of creation center around Tawa, the Sun Spirit. Tawa is the
Creator, and he formed the First World out of Tokpella, or Endless Space, as
well as its original inhabitants. However, other accounts have Tawa, or Taiowa,
first create Sotuknang, whom he called his nephew. Taiowa then sent Sotuknang to
create the nine universes according to his plan, and it was Sotuknang who
created Spider Woman, or Spider Grandmother. Spider Woman served as a messenger
for the Creator and was an intercessorary between deity and the people. In some
versions of the Hopi creation myth, it is she who creates all life under the
direction of Sotuknang. Yet other stories tell that life was created by Hard
Being Woman of the West and Hard Being Woman of the East, while the Sun merely
observed the process.
Cyclical Worlds
The Hopi believe time to be cyclical and made up of a number of worlds. When a
world begins it is innocent and pure, but as time goes by the world and its
people become corrupted.
Hopi legend tells that the current earth is the Fourth World to be inhabited by
Tawa’s creations. The story essentially states that in each previous world, the
people, though originally happy, became disobedient and lived contrary to Tawa’s
plan; they engaged in sexual promiscuity, fought one another and would not live
in harmony. Thus, the most obedient were led (usually by Spider Woman) to the
next higher world, with physical changes occurring both in the people in the
course of their journey, and in the environment of the next world. In some
stories, these former worlds were then destroyed along with their wicked
inhabitants, whereas in others the good people were simply led away from the
chaos which had been created by their actions.
At the height of decay the world ends, its people are purified, and everything
starts over from the beginning. According to the Hopi lore, we are currently
living in the fourth world. Sadly, due to the white man and his insatiable white
quest for spiritless technology, we are rapidly approaching the Great
Purification.
Prophecies
Just as there are various versions of the Hopi creation mythology, there are
various versions of the prophecy, reported by different authors at different
times. Note; According to statements made by the Hopi themselves, none of the
currently publicized “Hopi Prophecies” actually originate with the Hopi. The
closest to the genuine beliefs of the Hopi themselves would be the statements
made by Thomas Banacyca to the United Nations. In this version, the Hopi are
warning against continued armament by the great nations, stating that it will
lead to another world war.
The Hopi do not discuss their beliefs with outsiders.
Thomas Banacyca version
http://www.welcomehome.org/rainbow/prophecy/bayanaca.html
http://www.welcomehome.org/rainbow/prophecy/hopi.html
Frank Waters version
http://www.welcomehome.org/rainbow/prophecy/hopi1.html
Lee Brown version
http://www.welcomehome.org/rainbow/prophecy/hopi2.html
The “Frank Waters” version of the prophecy, which is the most widely circulated
among the “new age” set, is “harshly criticized” by the Hopi themselves! It is
decried as “full of errors”.
The “Thomas Banacyca” version is most likely a misattribution, according to
input I’ve received from people at New Age Frauds and Plastic Shamans, a Native
American website dedicated to exposing the rip-offs of Native American culture
by the white “New Age” set.
In particular read this thread.
According to some, the version linked above does not sound at all like Banacyca.
It reads more like the “Rainbow Family’s” interpretation of the Hopi Prophecy,
indiscriminately mixing in everything they could find, including Banacyca.
Banacyca was Hopi, and one of the few people allowed by the Hopi to speak on
their behalf to the world. Waters and Brown, not so much.
The “WelcomeHome.org” site is an unofficial site for the “Rainbow Family”, which
is itself a New Age rip-off of various Native American cultures.
Blue Star Kachina
Many 2012′ers and doomcryers use the Hopi Blue Star Kachina prophecy as “proof”
of their claims, linking the prophecy to heavenly bodies such as comets and
asteroids, Comet Holmes being the most notable. Now that we have Comet Elenin
the Blue Star Kachina is being used again. However, people making these claims
can’t seem to explain why the following objects were also hailed as the
fulfillment of the ‘Blue Star Kachina’: Comet NEAT (2003), Sirius, a
“hypervelocity star”, HE 0437-5439 etc., etc., etc. There are many more examples.
Criticism
The so-called “signs of the Hopi Apocalypse” (which are falsely attributed to
the Hopi) read like a middle school American History text book with a particular
emphasis on the ill-deeds of the white man. Consequently, they seem little more
than elements of a curse or an elaborate revenge fantasy. In addition, the
‘prophecies’ were first published in 1959, and subsequent publications have
added more detail.
Conclusion
The publicized “prophecies” are not of Hopi origin, but rather are written by
others with only a false or partial understanding of the Hopi. The actual Hopi
‘prophecies’ were a warning against militarism, and fit with their staunchly
pacifist viewpoint.
Here another translation of the prophecy for you.
Thomas Banacyca Talks about the Hopi Prophecy
The circle with the 4 (o's) and cross within (above), symbolizes the Four
Corners Region (where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet - a very high
energy vortex). The circle represents no end - the infinite Great Spirit. The
Indians believe we are the 5th World of Man. When the 4th World was destroyed (this
destruction was foretold), those Indians who had listened were guided to places
of safety, underground. After the 5th World was created, they assembled at Four
Corners and were instructed to spread out in the four directions (north - south
- east - west). Four (4) also represents the four elements in nature: fire,
water, air and earth; and the four color races of man.
In the Hopi Prophecy, it spoke of a white man who would come to them and help
transform the entire continent into a spiritual paradise. He would be recognized
because he would carry the fragment of stone which would complete their Holy
Stone, filled with Indian writing characters. The Holy Stone had been preserved
for thousands of years. Thus, when the white settlers came to the American
continent, remembering their prophecy, they were openly welcomed. The Indians
shared all they had. But, in return, all the White Man did was to take. The
Indians noticed that their White Brothers had brought a cross. However, it was
not enclosed by the circle of the Great Spirit, showing the White Man had lost
his way.
The Indians believe that at the beginning of the 5th World, when man was told to
disburse throughout the planet, from Four Corners, the White Race was one of the
original races that went East. Upon their return to our continent, they had
become confused and forgotten the ways of the Great Spirit. Further the prophecy
continued, either the White Man would bring peace and harmony or attempt to
totally destroy the Indian's way of life and take all his possessions and the
land. If the latter occured, (which is clearly the case today) there would come
a time when the Indian people would appear to be almost non-existent. Yet, one
day, they would rise out of nowhere, as the white race is falling due to their
own ignorance and destruction, to lead a spiritual revolution, so all people on
this continent would become attuned to the Great Spirit. To hold fast to the
traditional ways even if it seemed that everything was against them. To protect
Four Corners at all cost, because there is great power under the land that if it
is allowed to escape, great destruction would result. Today, the Indians are
going through the test to hold onto their traditional ways and protect the land.
The White Man's society is trying to swallow the Indians up. Many of their
people, especially the young, are falling prey to the White Man's ways.
Their prophecy also talks about creation of atomic bombs as catastrophes of
great heat, equal to the heat of a sun. It also warns about tampering with the
moon (violating its nature by removing rocks, soil from moon)
(Related to the Big Mountain issue:) It is their duty/responsibility to their
family, animals and all of nature, to keep this land protected and in harmony.
Everything in nature has a power in it. Water represents purification of human
beings. All spiritual people should unite on a spiritual path. To save this land
is a mission assigned by the Great Spirit.
One of the prophecies - All Indians and Non-Indians would one day (now) begin to
understand a great problem facing all people. Someday a white brother who went
away to record things will return to this land and bring spiritual life to the
continent. When White Brother returns, Hopi must keep their spiritual ways so
they can show others how to live the right way. Very important job. Elders know
ancient knowledge, which also will be shared at the right time with all. Based
on prophecy, Indians welcomed the white man. White man destroyed privledge.
Indians gave hospitality and whites took everything. Indians do not lie - Whites
tricked Indians with lies. By prophecy - Four Corners will be area of
confrontation between White and Red. Indians will be pushed into Four Corners.
Great Spirit told Hopi - Four Corners is the backbone of the United States. Hopi
must hold land till Human Beings live in harmony. The power under the land would
be used for destruction. (There would be a) Terrible punishment if give up Four
Corners. (Hopi Elders also know about the prophecies of earth changes and Space
Brothers - side note).

The Hopi Message
AN ADDRESS BY THOMAS BANYACYA, KYKOTSMOVI, ARIZONA
by The Alpha Institute
The presentation by Mr Thomas Banyacya, the final speaker, was preceded by three
shouts by Oren Lyons, Faithkeeper of the Six Nations, and first speaker of the
day. The shouts were a spiritual announcement to the Great Spirit of the people
assembled and the intention to give a message of spiritual importance.
Thomas then sprinkled corn meal next to the podium of the General Assembly and
made a brief remark in Hopi that translates as follows:
Hopi Spiritual leaders had an ancient prophecy that some day world leaders would
gather in a Great House of Mica with rules and regulations to solve the world
problems without war. I am amazed to see the prophecy has come true and you are
here today! But only a handful of United Nations Delegates are present to hear
the Motee Sinom (Hopi for First People) from around the world who spoke here
today.
(In English:) My name is Banyacya of the Wolf, Fox and Coyote Clan and I am a
member of the Hopi sovereign nation. Hopi in our language means a peaceful, kind,
gentle, truthful people. The traditional Hopi follows the spiritual path that
was given to us by Massau'u the Great Spirit. We made a sacred covenant to
follow his life plan at all times, which includes the responsibility of taking
care of this land and life for his divine purpose. We have never made treaties
with any foreign nation, including the United States, but for many centuries we
have honored this sacred agreement. Our goals are not to gain political control,
monetary wealth nor military power, but rather to pray and to promote the
welfare of all living beings and to preserve the world in a natural way. We
still have our ancient sacred stone tablets and spiritual religious societies
which are the foundations of the Hopi way of life. Our history says our white
brother should have retained those same sacred objects and spiritual foundations.
In 1948, all traditional Hopi spiritual leaders met and spoke of things I felt
strongly were of great importance to all people. They selected four interpreters
to carry their message of which I am the only one still living today. At the
time, I was given a sacred prayer feather by the spiritual leaders. I made a
commitment to carry the Hopi message of peace and deliver warnings from
prophesies known since the time the previous world was destroyed by flood and
our ancestors came to this land.
My mission was to open the doors of this Great House of Mica to native peoples.
The Elders said to knock four times and this commitment was fulfilled when I
delivered a letter and the sacred prayer feather I had been given to John
Washburn in the Secretary General's office in October, 1991. I am bringing part
of the Hopi message to you here today. We have only ten minutes to speak and
time is late so I am making my statement short.
At the meeting in 1948, Hopi leaders 80, 90 and even 100 years old explained
that the creator made the first world in perfect balance where humans spoke one
language, but humans turned away from moral and spiritual principles. They
misused their spiritual powers for selfish purposes. They did not follow
nature's rules. Eventually the world was destroyed by sinking of land and
separation of land by what you would call major earthquakes. Many died and only
a small handful survived.
Then this handful of peaceful people came into the second world. They repeated
their mistakes and the world was destroyed by freezing which you call the great
Ice Age.
The few survivors entered the third world. That world lasted a long time and as
in previous worlds, the people spoke one language. The people invented many
machines and conveniences of high technology, some of which have not yet been
seen in this age. They even had spiritual powers that they used for good. They
gradually turned away from natural laws and pursued only material things and
finally only gambled while they ridiculed spiritual principles. No one stopped
them from this course and the world was destroyed by the great flood that many
nations still recall in their ancient history or in their religions.
The Elders said again only small groups escaped and came to this fourth world
where we now live. Our world is in terrible shape again even though the Great
Spirit gave us different languages and sent us to four corners of the world and
told us to take care the the Earth and all that is in it.
This Hopi ceremonial rattle represents Mother Earth. The line running around it
is a time line and indicates that we are in the final days of the prophecy. What
have you, as individuals, as nations and as the world body been doing to to take
care of this Earth? In the Earth today, humans poison their own food, water and
air with pollution. Many of us, including children, are left to starve. Many
wars are still being fought. Greed and concern for material things is a common
disease.
In this western hemisphere, our homeland, many original native people are
landless, homeless, starving and have no medical help.
The Hopi knew humans would develop many powerful technologies that would be
abused. In this century, we have seen the First World War and the Second World
War in which the predicted gourd of ashes, which you call the atomic bomb, fell
from the sky with great destruction. Many thousands of people were destroyed in
Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
For many years there has been great fear and danger of World War Three. The Hopi
believe the Persian Gulf War was the beginning of World War Three but it was
stopped and the worst weapons of destruction were not used. This is now a time
to weigh the choices for our future. We do have a choice. If you, the nations of
this Earth, create another great war, the Hopi believe we humans will burn
ourselves to death with ashes. That's why the spiritual Elders stress strongly
that the United Nations fully open the door for native spiritual leaders as soon
as possible.
Nature itself does not speak with a voice that we can easily understand. Neither
can the animals and birds we are threatening with extinction talk to us. Who in
this world can speak for nature and the spiritual energy that creates and flows
through all life? In every continent are human beings who are like you but who
have not separated themselves from the land and from nature. It is through their
voice that Nature can speak to us. You have heard those voices and many messages
from the four corners of the world today. I have studied comparative religion
and I think in your own nations and cultures you have knowledge of the
consequences of living out of balance with nature and spirit. The native peoples
of the world have seen and spoken to you about the destruction of their lives
and homelands, the ruination of nature and the desecration of their sacred sites.
It is time the United Nations used its rules to investigate these occurrences
and stop them now.
The Four Corners area of the Hopi is bordered by four sacred mountains. The
spiritual center within is a sacred site our prophecies say will have special
purpose in the future for mankind to survive and now should be left in its
natural state. All nations must protect this spiritual center.
The Hopi and all original native people hold the land in balance by prayer,
fasting and performing ceremonies. Our spiritual Elders still hold the land in
the Western Hemisphere in balance for all living beings, including humans. No
one should be relocated from their sacred homelands in this Western Hemisphere
or anywhere in the world. Acts of forced relocation, such as Public Law 93-531
in the United States, must be repealed.
The United Nations stands on our native homeland. The United Nations talks about
human rights, equality and justice and yet the native people have never had a
real opportunity to speak to this assembly since its establishment until today.
It should be the mission of your nations and this assembly to use your power and
rules to examine and work to cure the damage people have done to this Earth and
to each other. Hopi Elders know that was your mission and they wait to see
whether you will act on it now.
Nature, the First People and the spirit of our ancestors are giving you loud
warnings. Today, December 10, 1992, you see increasing floods, more damaging
hurricanes, hail storms, climate changes and earthquakes as our prophesies said
would come. Even animals and birds are warning us with strange change in their
behavior such as the beaching of whales. Why do animals act like they know about
the earth's problems and most humans act like they know nothing? If we humans do
not wake up to the warnings, the great purification will come to destroy this
world just as the previous worlds were destroyed.
(Thomas and Oren Lyons held up a picture of a large rock drawing in Hopiland)
This rock drawing shows part of the Hopi prophecy. There are two paths. The
first with technology but separate from natural and spiritual law leads to these
jagged lines representing chaos. The lower path is one that remains in harmony
with natural law. Here we see a line that represents a choice like a bridge
joining the paths. If we return to spiritual harmony and live from our hearts,
we can experience a paradise in this world. If we continue only on this upper
path, we will come to destruction.
Its up to all of us, as children of Mother Earth, to clean up this mess before
it's too late.
The Elders request that during this International Year for the Worlds Indigenous
Peoples, the United Nations keep that door open for spiritual leaders from the
four corners of the world to come to speak to you for more than a few minutes as
soon as possible. The Elders also request that eight investigative teams visit
the native areas of the world to observe and tell the truth about what is being
done and stop these nations from moving in this self- destructive direction.
If any of you leaders want to learn more about the spiritual vision and power of
the Elders, I invite you to come out to Hopiland and sit down with our real
spiritual leaders in their sacred Kivas where they will reveal the ancient
secrets of survival and balance.
I hope that all members of this assembly that know the spiritual way will not
just talk about it, but in order to have real peace and harmony, will follow
what it says across the United Nations wall: "They will beat their swords into
plowshares and study war no more." Lets, together, do that now!
Epilogue
The night before the presentations of the native people from around the world to
the General Assembly, there was a total eclipse of the moon over New York City
and the sky was clear. The evening after the presentation by Mr Banyacya and the
other native spokespersons, heavy rain and strong wind began. The weathermen had
been calling for a snowstorm but what came the following day were the worst
floods in New York's memory. Major highways were washed away by the sea and the
United Nations itself experienced flooding of its lower subfloors, forcing a
shutdown of its heating and air conditioning and all personnel were dismissed at
three o'clock.
In the ground floor meeting room, where on December 11, native peoples were
meeting representatives of various UN agencies, Thomas Banyacya spontaneously
called on all the participants, including UN officials, to form a great circle.
All the Elders were in the center and Thomas called in some non-native people as
well. Each silently said a prayer. The forming of the circle of unity of all
people from the four corners of the Earth was more than just a symbolic act. One
participant said she had never felt herself to be in such a safe place. Later,
several people present noted that no further storm damage occurred in Manhattan
and that the storm itself abated that afternoon.
And onother explanation by Hopi.
Hopi Prophecy
The end of all Hopi ceremonialism will come when a "Kachina" removes his mask
during a dance in the plaza before uninitiated children [the general public].
For a while there will be no more ceremonies, no more faith. Then Oraibi will be
rejuvenated with its faith and ceremonies, marking the start of a new cycle of
Hopi life.
World War III will be started by those peoples who first revealed the light (the
divine wisdom or intelligence) in the other old countries (India, China, Islamic
Nations, Africa.)
The United States will be destroyed, land and people, by atomic bombs and
radioactivity. Only the Hopis and their homeland will be preserved as an oasis
to which refugees will flee. Bomb shelters are a fallacy. "It is only
materialistic people who seek to make shelters. Those who are at peace in their
hearts already are in the great shelter of life. There is no shelter for evil.
Those who take no part in the making of world division by ideology are ready to
resume life in another world, be they Black, White, Red, or Yellow race. They
are all one, brothers."
The war will be "a spiritual conflict with material matters. Material matters
will be destroyed by spiritual beings who will remain to create one world and
one nation under one power, that of the Creator."
That time is not far off. It will come when the Saquasohuh (Blue Star) Kachina
dances in the plaza and removes his mask. He represents a blue star, far off and
yet invisible, which will make its appearance soon. The time is foretold by a
song sung during the Wuwuchim ceremony. It was sung in 1914 just before World
War I, and again in 1940 before World War II, describing the disunity,
corruption, and hatred contaminating Hopi rituals, which were followed by the
same evils spreading over the world. This same song was sung in 1961 during the
Wuwuchim ceremony.
The Emergence to the future Fifth World has begun. It is being made by the
humble people of little nations, tribes, and racial minorities. "You can read
this in the earth itself. Plant forms from previous worlds are beginning to
spring up as seeds [as described in SW-II, Effects and Coming Events # 1]. This
could start a new study of botany if people were wise enough to read them. The
same kinds of seeds are being planted in the sky as stars. The same kinds of
seeds are being planted in our hearts. All these are the same, depending how you
look at them. That is what makes the Emergence to the next, Fifth World.
"These comprise the nine most important prophecies of the Hopis, connected with
the creation of the nine worlds: the three previous worlds on which we lived,
the present Fourth World, the three future worlds we have yet to experience, and
the world of Taiowa, the Creator, and his nephew, Sotuknang."
The Hopi and others who were saved from the Great Flood made a sacred covenant
with the Great Spirit never to turn away from him. He made a set of sacred stone
tablets, called Tiponi, into which he breathed his teachings, prophecies, and
warnings. Before the Great Spirit hid himself again, he placed before the
leaders of the four different racial groups four different colors and sizes of
corn; each was to choose which would be their food in this world. The Hopi
waited until last and picked the smallest ear of corn. At this, the Great Spirit
said:
"It is well done. You have obtained the real corn, for all the others are
imitations in which are hidden seeds of different plants. You have shown me your
intelligence; for this reason I will place in your hands these sacred stone
tablets, Tiponi, symbol of power and authority over all land and life to guard,
protect, and hold in trust for me until I shall return to you in a later day,
for I am the First and I am the Last."
The Great Chieftain of the Bow Clan led the faithful ones to this new land, but
he fell into evil ways. His two sons scolded him for his mistake, and after he
died they assumed the responsibilities of leadership. Each brother was given a
set of Tiponi, and both were instructed to carry them to a place to which the
Great Spirit directed them. The elder brother [of the shining light] was told to
go immediately to the east, toward the rising sun, and upon reaching his
destination to start back immediately to look for his younger brother, who
remained on Turtle Island [the Continental United States of America]. His
mission was to help his younger brother to bring about the Purification Day, at
which time all evildoers would be punished or destroyed, after which real peace,
brotherhood, and everlasting life would be established. The elder brother would
restore all land to his younger brother, from whom the Evil one among the white
men had taken it. The elder brother [of the shining light] also would come to
look for the Tiponi tablets and fulfill the mission given him by the Great
Spirit.
The younger brother was instructed to travel throughout the land and mark his
footsteps as he went about. Both brothers were told that a great white star
would appear in the sky; when that happened, all people would know that the
elder brother had reached his destination. Thereupon all people were to settle
wherever they happened to be at that time, there to remain until the elder
brother returned.
The Hopi settled in the area now known as Four Corners, where the state lines of
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado meet. They lived in humble simplicity and
the land produced abundant crops. This area is the "heart" of Turtle Island [the
U.S.] and of Mother Earth, and it is the microcosmic image of the macrocosm of
the entire planet. Each Hopi clan perpetuates a unique ceremony, and the
ceremonies together maintain the balance of natural forces of sunlight, rain and
winds, and reaffirm the Hopi respect for all life and trust in the Great Spirit.
The Hopi were told that after a time White Men would come and take their land
and try to lead the Hopi into evil ways. But in spite of all the pressures
against them, the Hopi were told they must hold to their ancient religion and
their land, though always without violence. If they succeeded, they were
promised that their people and their land would be a center from which the True
Spirit would be reawakened.
It is said that after many years the elder brother might change the color of his
skin, but his hair will remain black. He will have the ability to write, and he
will be the only person able to read the Tiponi. When he returns to find his
younger brother, the Tiponi will be placed side by side to show all the world
that they are true brothers. Then great judgment will take place, for the elder
will help the younger brother to obtain real justice for all Indian brothers who
have been cruelly mistreated by the white man since he came to Turtle Island.
The transformed elder brother, the True White Brother, will wear a red cloak or
a red cap, similar to the pattern on the back of a horned toad. He will bring no
religion but his own, and will bring with him the Tiponi tablets. He will be
all-powerful; none will be able to stand against him. He will come swiftly, and
in one day gain control of this entire continent. It is said, "If he comes from
the East, the destruction will not be so bad. But if he comes from the West, do
not get up on your housetops to see because he will have no mercy."
The True White Brother will bring with him two great, intelligent and powerful
helpers, one of whom will have a sign of a swastika (a masculine symbol of
purity), and the sign of the sun. The second great helper will have the sign of
a celtic cross with red lines (representing female life blood) between the arms
of the cross.
When the Great Purification is near, these helpers will shake the earth first
for a short time in preparation. After they shake the earth two times more, they
will be joined by the True White Brother, who will become one with them and
bring the Purification Day to the world. All three will help the "younger
brother" (the Hopi and other pure-hearted people) to make a better world. In the
prophecies, the two helpers are designated by the Hopi word for "population," as
if they were large groups of people.
The Hopi were warned that if these three great beings failed, terrible evil
would befall the world and great numbers of people would be killed. However, it
was said that they would succeed if enough Hopi remained true to the ancient
spirit of their people. The True White Brother and his helpers will show the
people of earth a great new life plan that will lead to everlasting life. The
earth will become new and beautiful again, with an abundance of life and food.
Those who are saved will share everything equally. All races will intermarry and
speak one tongue and be a family.
Hopi prophecy states that World War III will be started by the people who first
received the Light -- China, Palestine, India and Africa. When the war comes,
the United States will be destroyed by "gourds of ashes" which will fall to the
ground, boiling the rivers and burning the earth, where no grass will grow for
many years, and causing a disease that no medicine can cure. This can only mean
nuclear or atomic bombs; no other weapon causes such effects. Bomb shelters will
be useless, for "Those who are at peace in their hearts already are in the Great
Shelter of Life. There is no shelter for evil. When the Saquahuh (blue Star)
Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask, the time of the great trial
will be here." The Hopi believe that only they will be saved.
The Hopi also have prophesied that "Turtle Island could turn over two or three
times and the oceans could join hands and meet the sky." This seems to be a
prophecy of a "pole shift" -- a flipping, of the planet on its axis. The Hopi
call this imminent condition -- and that of society today -- "Koyaanisqatsi",
which means "world out of balance...a state of life that calls for another way.
"
The following extraordinary Hopi prophecy was first published in a mimeographed
manuscript that circulated among several Methodist and Presbyterian churches in
1959. Some of the prophecies were published in 1963 by Frank Waters in The Book
of the Hopi. The account begins by describing how, while driving along a desert
highway one hot day in the summer of 1958, a minister named David Young stopped
to offer a ride to an Indian elder, who accepted with a nod. After riding in
silence for several minutes, the Indian said:
"I am White Feather, a Hopi of the ancient Bear Clan. In my long life I have
traveled through this land, seeking out my brothers, and learning from them many
things full of wisdom. I have followed the sacred paths of my people, who
inhabit the forests and many lakes in the east, the land of ice and long nights
in the north, and the places of holy altars of stone built many years ago by my
brothers' fathers in the south. From all these I have heard the stories of the
past, and the prophecies of the future. Today, many of the prophecies have
turned to stories, and few are left -- the past grows longer, and the future
grows shorter.
"And now White Feather is dying. His sons have all joined his ancestors, and
soon he too shall be with them. But there is no one left, no one to recite and
pass on the ancient wisdom. My people have tired of the old ways -- the great
ceremonies that tell of our origins, of our emergence into the Fourth World, are
almost all abandoned, forgotten, yet even this has been foretold. The time grows
short.
"My people await Pahana, the lost White Brother, [from the stars] as do all our
brothers in the land. He will not be like the white men we know now, who are
cruel and greedy. we were told of their coming long ago. But still we await
Pahana.
"He will bring with him the symbols, and the missing piece of that sacred tablet
now kept by the elders, given to him when he left, that shall identify him as
our True White Brother.
"The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This the
elders everywhere know. The Signs over many years have been fulfilled, and so
few are left.
"This is the First Sign: We are told of the coming of the white-skinned men,
like Pahana, but not living like Pahana men who took the land that was not
theirs. And men who struck their enemies with thunder.
"This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels
filled with voices. In his youth, my father saw this prophecy come true with his
eyes -- the white men bringing their families in wagons across the prairies."
"This is the Third Sign: A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long
horns, will overrun the land in large numbers. These White Feather saw with his
eyes -- the coming of the white men's cattle."
"This is the Fourth Sign: The land will be crossed by snakes of iron."
"This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider's
web."
"This is the Sixth sign: The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone
that make pictures in the sun."
"This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many
living things dying because of it."
"This is the Eight Sign: You will see many youth, who wear their hair long like
my people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn their ways and wisdom.
"And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the
heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as
a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease.
"These are the Signs that great destruction is coming. The world shall rock to
and fro. The white man will battle against other people in other lands -- with
those who possessed the first light of wisdom. There will be many columns of
smoke and fire such as White Feather has seen the white man make in the deserts
not far from here. Only those which come will cause disease and a great dying.
Many of my people, understanding the prophecies, shall be safe. Those who stay
and live in the places of my people also shall be safe. Then there will be much
to rebuild. And soon -- very soon afterward -- Pahana will return. He shall
bring with him the dawn of the Fifth World. He shall plant the seeds of his
wisdom in their hearts. Even now the seeds are being planted. These shall smooth
the way to the Emergence into the Fifth World.
"But White Feather shall not see it. I am old and dying. You -- perhaps will see
it. In time, in time..."
The old Indian fell silent. They had arrived at his destination, and Reverend
David Young stopped to let him out of the car. They never met again. Reverend
Young died in 1976, so he did not live to see the further fulfillment of this
remarkable prophecy.
The signs are interpreted as follows: The First Sign is of guns. The Second Sign
is of the pioneers' covered wagons. The Third Sign is of longhorn cattle. The
Fourth Sign describes the railroad tracks. The Fifth Sign is a clear image of
our electric power and telephone lines. The Sixth Sign describes concrete
highways and their mirage-producing effects. The Seventh Sign foretells of oil
spills in the ocean. The Eighth Sign clearly indicates the "Hippy Movement" of
the 1960s. The Ninth Sign was the U.S. Space Station Skylab, which fell to Earth
in 1979. According to Australian eye-witnesses, it appeared to be burning blue.
Another Hopi prophecy warns that nothing should be brought back from the Moon --
obviously anticipating the Apollo 11 mission that returned with samples of lunar
basalt. It this was done, the Hopi warned, the balance of natural and universal
laws and forces would be disturbed, resulting in earthquakes, severe changes in
weather patterns, and social unrest. All these things are happening today,
though of course not necessarily because of Moon rocks.
The Hopi also predicted that when the "heart" of the Hopi land trust is dug up,
great disturbances will develop in the balance of nature, for the Hopi holy land
is the microcosmic image of the entire planet; any violations of nature in the
Four Corners region will be reflected and amplified all over the Earth.
In 1959, a six-man delegation of traditional Hopi leaders led by the late
spiritual leader, Dan Katchongva, traveled to the United Nations Building in New
York to fulfill a sacred mission in accordance with ancient Hopi instructions.
Because of their prophetic knowledge, the Hopi leaders felt it was time to go
east to the edge of their motherland, where "a house of mica" [The United
Nations building] would stand at this time, where Great Leaders from many lands
would be gathered to help any people who are in trouble."
They were to go when the motherland of the Hopi and other Indian brothers were
about to be taken away from them and their way of life was in danger of being
completely destroyed by evil ones among the White Men and by some other Indian
brothers who were influenced by the White Race. This is a clear and present
danger: the betrayal of Indian-U.S.A. treaties, land sales, and coal and uranium
mining are destroying the Hopi land and its people -- and all other peoples and
lands, in eventual effect...
According to prophecy, at least one, two or three leaders or nations would hear
and understand the Hopi warnings, as "It is told that they too should know these
ancient instructions". Upon hearing the message of the Hopi, they would act
immediately to correct many wrongs being done to the chosen race -- the Red Man
who was granted permission to hold in trust all land and life for the Great
Spirit. This prophecy would seem to have failed. Hopi prophecy also declares
that the doors of the "Glass House" would be closed to them. This was the case
at first, though they have delivered their message to the United Nations
Assembly since then:
"When the Great Leaders in the Glass House refuse to open the door to you when
you stand before it that day, [Repeated, again in 1993] do not be discouraged or
turn about on the path you walk, but take courage, determination, and be of
great rejoicing in your hearts, for on that day the White Race who are on your
land with you have cut themselves from you and thereon lead themselves to the
Greatest Punishment at the Day of Purification. Many shall be destroyed for
their sins and evil ways. The Great Spirit has decreed it and no one can stop it,
change it, or add anything to it. It shall be fulfilled!"
On August 7, 1970, a spectacular UFO sighting was witnessed by dozens of people
and photographed by Chuck Roberts of the Prescott (Arizona)"Courier". This
sighting occurred after a "UFO calling" by Paul Solem and several Hopi Indians.
This sighting was interpreted by some Hopis as being a partial fulfillment of a
certain Hopi prophecy given by the Great Spirit Maasau and inscribed on Second
Mesa, warning of the coming of Purification Day, when the true Hopi will be
flown to other planets in "ships without wings."
Hopi prophecy also tells us that there will be a mass migration of Indians
northward from Mexico and Central and South America. The migration will be led
by a 130-year old Indian named Etchata Etchana. The movement will come after the
huge fire and explosion that will herald the advent of the True White Brother.
According to Hopi belief, the survivors of the Great Deluge thousands of years
ago split up into four groups that moved north, south, east and west. Only one
group completed their journey -- to the North Pole and back -- under the
guidance of a brilliant "star" in which the Great Spirit Maasau traveled. When
he landed, he drew a petroglyph on Second Mesa, showing a maiden (with the
traditional "butterfly" hair arrangement) riding in a wingless, dome-shaped
craft. The petroglyph signified the coming Day of Purification when the true
Hopi will fly to other planets in "ships without wings."
The prophecy also warns that there will be three divisions among the Hopi The
first division was in 1906 between the Traditionalists and the Modernists. The
Traditionalists were forced to leave Oraibi and move to Hotevilla. The second
division took place in the wake of the spectacular appearance of UFOs in August,
1970.
PROPHECY ROCK
Near Oraibi, Arizona, there is a petroglyph known as Prophecy Rock which
symbolizes many Hopi prophecies. Its interpretation is:
The large human figure on the left is the Great Spirit. The bow in his left hand
represents his instructions to the Hopi to lay down their weapons. The vertical
line to the right of the Great Spirit is a time scale in thousands of years. The
point at which the great Spirit touches the line is the time of his return.
The "life path" established by the Great Spirit divides into the lower, narrow
path of continuous Life in harmony with nature and the wide upper road of white
man's scientific achievements. The bar between the paths, above the cross, is
the coming of white men; the Cross is that of Christianity. The circle below the
cross represents the continuous Path of Life.
The four small human figures on the upper road represent, on one level, the past
three worlds and the present; on another level, the figures indicate that some
of the Hopi will travel the white man's path, having been seduced by its
glamour.
The two circles on the lower Path of Life are the "great shaking of the earth"
(World Wars One and Two). The swastika in the sun and the Celtic cross represent
the two helpers of Pahana, the True White Brother.
The short line that returns to the straight Path of Life is the last chance for
people to turn back to nature before the upper road disintegrates and dissipates.
The small circle above the Path of Life, after the last chance, is the Great
Purification, after which corn will grow in abundance again when the Great
Spirit returns. And the Path of Life continues forever...
The Hopi shield in the lower right corner symbolizes the Earth and the
Four-Corners area where the Hopi have been reserved. The arms of the cross also
represent the four directions in which they migrated according to the
instructions of the Great Spirit.
The dots represent the four colors of Hopi corn, and the four racial colors of
humanity.

NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN (HOPI) PROPHECIES
Talk Given by Lee Brown,
1986 Continental Indigenous Council,
Tanana Valley Fairgrounds,
Fairbanks, Alaska
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.
BLUE STAR PROPHECY OF THE HOPI
An ancient Hopi prophecy states, “When the Blue Star Kachina makes its
appearance in the heavens, the Fifth World will emerge.” This will be the Day of
Purification. The Hopi name for the star Sirius is Blue Star Kachina. It will
come when the Saquashohuh (Blue Star) Kachina dances in the plaza and removes
her mask.
In the Final days we will look up in our heavens and we will witness the return
of the two brothers who helped create this world in the birthing time.
Poganghoya is the guardian of our North Pole and his Brother Palongawhoya is the
guardian of the South Pole. In the final days the Blue Star Katchina will come
to be with her nephews and they will return to the Earth to its natural rotation
which is counter-clockwise.
This fact is evidenced in many petroglyphs that speak of the Zodiac, and within
the Mayan and Egyptian pyramids. The twins will be seen in North Western skies.
They will come and visit to see who still remembers the original teachings
flying in their Patuwvotas, or flying shield. They will bring many of their star
family with them in the final days.
The return of the Blue Star Katchina who is also known as Nan Ga Sohu will be
the alarm clock that tells us of the new day and new way of life, a new world
that is coming. That is where the changes will begin. They will start as fires
that burn within us, and we will burn up with desires and conflict if we do not
remember the original teachings, and return to the peaceful way of life.
Not far behind the twins will come the Purifier – the Red Katchina who will
bring the Days of Purification. On this day the Earth, her creatures and all
life as we know it will change forever. There will be messengers that will
precede this coming of the Purifier. They will leave messages to those on Earth
who remember the old ways.
The messages will be found written in the living stone, through the sacred
grains, and even the waters. From the Purifier will issue forth a great Red
Light. All things will change in their manner of being. Every living thing will
be offered the opportunity to change from the largest to the smallest thing.
Those who return to the ways given to us in the original teachings, and live a
natural way of life will not be touched by the coming of the Purifier. They will
survive and build a new world. Only in the ancient teachings will the ability to
understand the messages be found.
It is important to understand that these messages will be found upon every
living thing, even within our bodies, even within a drop of our blood. All life
forms will receive the messages from the twins… those that fly, the plants, even
the rabbit. The appearance of the twins begins a period of seven years will be
our final opportunity to change our ways. Everything we experience is all a
matter of choice.
Many will appear to have lost their souls in these final days. So intense will
the nature of the changes be that those who are weak in spiritual awareness will
go insane, for we are nothing without spirit. They will disappear, for they are
just hollow vessels for any thing to use. Life will be so.
Only those who return to the values of the old ways will be able to find peace
of mind. For in the Earth we shall find relief from the madness that will be all
around us. It will be years of hard time for women with children for they will
be shunned, and many of the children of these times will be unnatural. Some
beings from the Stars, some from past worlds, some will even be created by man
in an unnatural manner. Many of people in this will be empty in Spirit they will
have Sampacu. No life force in their eyes.
As we get close to the time of arrival the Purifier there will be those who walk
as ghosts through the cities, through canyons they will have constructed in
their man-made mountains. Those that walk through these places will be very
heavy in their walk it will appear almost painful as they will be disconnected
from their spirit and the Earth.
After the arrival of the twins, they will begin to vanish before your eyes like
so much smoke. Others will have great deformities, both in the mind and upon
their bodies. There will be those who would walk in the body that are not from
this reality, for many of the gateways that once protected us will be opened,
there will be much confusion. There will be confusion between sexes, and
children and their elders.
Life will get very perverted, and there will be little social order in these
times. Many will ask for the mountains themselves to fall upon them just to end
their misery. Still others will appear as if untouched by what is occurring.
Those who remember the original teachings and have reconnected their heart and
spirit will be untouched. Those who remember their mother and father will be
untouched. The Pahana has left to live in the mountains and forest.
When the Purifier comes we will see him first as a small Red Star which will
come very close and sit in our heavens watching us. Watching us to see how well
we have remembered the sacred teachings.
This Purifier will show us many miraculous signs in our heavens. In this way we
will know Creator is not a dream. Even those who will not feel their connection
to spirit will see the face of Creator across the sky. Things unseen will be
felt very strongly.
Many things will begin to occur that will not make sense, for reality will be
shifting back. We will receive many warnings allowing us to change our ways from
below the Earth as well as above. Then one morning in a moment we will awaken to
the Red Dawn. The sky will be the color of blood, many things will then begin to
happen that right now we are not sure of their exact nature. Much of reality
will not be as it is now.
There will be many strange beasts upon the Earth in those days, some from the
past and that we have never seen. The nature of Mankind will appear strange in
these we walk between worlds and we will house many spirits even within our
bodies. After a time we will again walk with our brothers from the Stars, and
rebuild this Earth, but not before the Purifier has left his mark upon the
universe.
No living thing will go untouched, here or in the heavens. The way through this
time it is said to be found in our hearts, and reuniting with our spiritual
self. Getting simple and returning to living with and upon the Earth and in
harmony with her creatures. Remember that we are the Caretakers, the Fire
Keepers of the Spirit. Our relatives from the Stars are coming home to see how
well we have faired in our journey.
This is to remind You.... listen......
Here some pics of the Kachina Stones
Here.
HOPI CORN
The Hopi people or “peaceful ones” are thought to have migrated north out of
Mexico around 500 B.C. Primarily living on a 1.5 million acre reservation in
northeastern Arizona in the Four Corners area, the Hopi have the longest
authenticated history of occupation of a single area by any Native American
tribe in the United States.
The Hopi have no religion in the traditional sense. Hopi life IS Hopi religion.
There is no separation of a religious life from all other activities of the
Hopi. Planting corn is a religious activity, amongst others, that ensures the
continuation of life.
For the Hopi, corn is viewed as a metaphor of life. The Hopi say, “Um hapi qaa’oniwti.”
“People are corn.” Beginning as seeds, as in a womb, life emerges, blessed by
light and nourished by family. A Hopi child is brought from the house on the
twentieth day and receives corn as the sun emerges on the eastern horizon.
Throughout life, Hopi live with corn as the mainstay of their diet. For Hopi,
death is part of the cycle of life. Death does not end a person’s presence in
the physical world, but marks a transition from one state of being to another.
KACHINA RAIN
The Hopi believe that it is through respect of nature and spirit essences of the
world of the Katsinas that will bring the rains needed to support life. It is
both a reciprocity of life and rain that makes the corn grow. It is also the
cycle of the corn seed becoming both the food for Hopi and the seeds of the
future, and of Hopi life itself. The Hopi emerge and live only to die, and yet
continue as ancestral Hopi to support their offspring as the spirit essences
that bring rain. At death and their emergence into the Fourth World, Maasawu,
the god of death, instructs the people on how to farm the land, to use it only
with humility and with good harmonious hearts. Arrogance, disrespect, greed and
failure to maintain their obligations to the Creator would bring sparse rains
and their labor would be in vain.
The spirits of important Hopi leaders go to the San Francisco Peaks, north of
Flagstaff. Each year, the spirits return to Hopi Land during the Kachina season
as bearers of rain, riding within billowy, white clouds. They come in response
to Hopi prayers and powers generated by their ceremonies. The rain brought by
the Kachinas is essential to crops of the Hopi, as it augments their only other
water supply, ground water, a shrinking resource today. The Hopi know that a
drought can come at any time. They know that their conduct has a direct bearing
on the amount of rain that comes. If the Hopi behave badly, the Kachinas will be
displeased and refuse to bring rain. Without rain, nothing will grow, and there
will be nothing to harvest in the fall.
Ancestral Puebloans, such as the Hopi, have been cultivating crops adapted to
the arid climate of the Colorado Plateau for thousands of years. The Hopi, who
have had a long and deep cultural relationship with the Southwest's aridity, use
a practice called dry-land or un-irrgated farming by taking advantage of run-off
and flood-water from mesas. They farm at the mercy of the spirits to answer
their prayers.
Historically, in the late 1200’s, a massive and prolonged drought forced most of
the Hopi villages on the mesas to be abandoned. Perhaps after years of intensive
use the land and its resources were depleted. In the face of environmental
stress, social and political conflicts are thought to have arisen. For well over
a decade, widespread and persistent drought conditions have again plagued the
region. Climatologists predict an indeterminate length to these conditions both
regionally and globally. Many predict worse. In response, the Hopi Tribe and
Navajo Nation’s resource managers are developing a regional climate monitoring
network and are discussing long-term climate change adaptation to better prepare
for the climate of the future.
LESSONS FROM THE PAST
The lessons of geologic history teach us that western North America has
experienced some of the most long-lived arid conditions in Earth’s history.
Widespread eolian sandstones in the geologic record bear testimony to this fact.
In the Glen Canyon region alone, seven different eolian units are exposed.
Drawing the majority of their waters from snow melt in the Rockies, Lake Powell
and Lake Mead have achieved record low levels. And in the Southwest, population
growth and demands continue to increase. The notion that severe arid conditions
are only temporary regionally or can’t be experienced globally should be
entertained only with reckless arrogance and abandon. This is true independent
of one’s philosophical position on the causes of climate change.
Hopi corn, as with most agricultural crops, can tolerate only a narrow latitude
of temperature extremes, drought and flooding, and pathogen and pest resistance.
Advances in agricultural knowledge, technology and science are critical to
improving crop traits such as tolerance. Many believe agricultural science has
gone too far in the use of recombinant DNA techniques to produce transgenic
products that could adversely effect the environment and human health. Others
believe that advances in genomics will play a critical role in traditional plant
breeding as well as in genetically modified crops. Regardless, if the
climatologists are correct, time is of the essence. It takes on average a decade
and $100,000,000 to breed a new transgenic crop cultivar and for it to become
available to farmers.
Many feel that climate change could result in destabilization and the escalation
of conflicts as crop yields fall on both a regional and global scale.
Southwestern archaeologists have interpreted signs of precisely that having
happened with the Ancestral Puebloans in the face of widespread drought.
The world’s population has reached 7 billion. Statisticians tell us there’s a 1
in 7 chance that a person will be born hungry and that nearly 1 billion people
go to bed hungry each night. Given predicted climate change scenarios, global
food production is unlikely to satisfy future demand without making advances in
crop improvement, better use of nutrients, stress tolerance, land management,
control of greenhouse gas emissions and crop breeding.
"The corn grows up. The waters of the dark clouds drop, drop.
The rain descends. The waters from the corn leaves drop, drop.
The rain descends. The waters from the plants drop, drop.
The corn grows up. The waters of the dark mists drop, drop."
Fertility song of the Navajo Indians
Thomas Banyacya was one of four Hopi spiritual leaders selected by traditional
Elders in 1948 to carry Hopi prophecies to the world. A half-century later, as
the sole remaining Hopi messenger, Banyacya joined nine other indigenous people
to speak before the United Nations General Assembly to warn them that their
prophecies indicated that civilization was about to be subjected to abrupt and
extreme changes from nature and the planet. It is worth recalling his message.
"Hopi in our language means a peaceful, kind, gentle, and truthful people. We
made a sacred covenant which includes the responsibility of taking care of this
land and life for (Masawa, the Great Spirit's) purpose. Our goal is to pray and
promote the welfare of all living beings and to preserve the world in a natural
way."
The Hopi leader said the prophecies indicate the world is in its "final days."
He demanded that an investigation be made to stop the destruction of native
peoples' lives and homelands. He warned against ruining nature and desecrating
sacred sites. Banyacya emphasized that the Hopi center, in the Four Corners area
of the Southwest US, is a Sacred site which has a special purpose for
humankind's future survival. It should be left in its natural state, he stated.
"It should be the mission of your nations and this Assembly to use your power
and rules to examine and cure the damage people have done to this earth and to
each other," Banyacya exhorted the Assembly. "It is up to all of us as children
of Mother Earth to clean up this mess before it's too late."
In his address, Banyacya invoked the Hopi prophecies about the consequences of
living out of balance with nature and spirit. Floods, earthquakes, extinction of
animals and birds, climate changes, hail storms, and many damaging hurricanes,
he said, are the loud voices of his ancestors' warnings. Most public adjusters
would even probably tell you that a mixture of those things at once would
probably be a cause for concern. The evening of the native speakers' appearance
at the UN, heavy rain, strong winds, and the worst floods in New York's memory
assailed the New York City area. Major highways were closed, and the UN
building's lower subfloors flooded, forcing a shutdown of its heating and air
conditioning.
Native people attending the General Assembly considered these events more than
coincidental. Thomas Banyacya called on all the participants, including UN
officials, to form a great circle in a symbolic act of prayer. One participant
claimed she had never felt herself to be in such a safe place. Others noted that
no further storm damage occurred in Manhattan after the circle gathered.
The Hopi Tablets - as revealed in Thomas O. Mills book, The Truth
It is clear that the new millennium seems to coincide with the prophetic times
of many of Earth's oldest religions. The Mayan calendar marks the end of time in
just a few more years. Many Native Americans describe this not as an end but as
the moving from one era to another era. In our Alaskan story this was explained
as moving from the fourth to the fifth hoop. In the Hopi tradition, the movement
will be from the fourth to the fifth "world."
An interesting exploration of the Hopi prophecies is provided by Thomas O. Mills.
Mills grew up on the Hopi Reservation in Second Mesa, Arizona. As a boy, he
helped his Mom run the newly built Hopi Cultural Preservation Office, which
today is the main stopping point for outsiders. [Our Expedition '98 stayed in
this facility.]
In his book, The Truth, Mills reveals that he has written the book because he
wants to let more people know about the Hopi prophecies. His message implies
that there is something of the Divine Spirit in these prophecies that will
"click" if we just will take the time to hear him out. And he is right.
Mills explains the Hopi stories of Creation. Humanity has had three previous
eras of development, a rise and fall marking each one. We are now at the end of
the "fourth world," poised to enter the "fifth world.". Each previous world has
been felled by some catastrophe, such as the ice age, or the inability to speak
and use language. According the Hopi prophesy, we are about to enter into the
fifth world, which naturally implies an impending fourht world catastrophe.
What will our downfall be this time? Can we avoid it? The Hopi have had the
answers embedded in their traditions and religion like the DNA of a latent
virus. When the time is ripe, the symbolism and pagantry will be revealed as a
stable metaphor of complex issues regarding nature, creation and human survival.
Some of these issues are frankly addressed in The Book of the Hopi. But few
non-Hopi have ever been exposed to these teachings.
Mills provides numerous translations from The Book of Hopi and he does a good
job of explaining these in his own words. It's a rare individual who can
understand such complexities and yet have the ability to speak so plainly.
Perhaps most interesting of all is that Mills describes a collection of tablets
that were left by Masawa, the Caretaker of Earth (more specifically, the
southwest American desert), to the Hopi upon their entrance to the fourth world.
Mills explains how the Hopi were instructed to care for the planet. He shows
many interesting similarities between concepts and representations of Hopi
deities and those of ancient Egypt. He has a brilliant and well-illustrated
theory that envisions the Egyptian pyramids and surrounding temples as forming
large symbolic messages which reinforces the underscores the impending
transition to the fifth world.
Mills proposes that the giant stone pyramids functioned to balance an unstable
planet. Like the weights used to balance a tire, the careful positioning of
these structures can influence the axis of the planet. Although the pyramids are
minute in relation to the Earth, the mechanism is the result of almost
super-human knowledge of nature. His illustrations of Egyptian murals from over
four millennia seem to reinforce his theories. Your mind is allowed to
contemplate the significance of these revelations. At a time when we focus more
on our differences and less on our common ancestry, The Truth seems rightly
named and comes just about in time.
Below are Mills' illustrations of the Hopi tablets that were given to the
ancient ones by Musawa. The story is told as follows:
The Hopis also have in their possession the stone tablets that Masaw gave to
them. These are not ordinary stones that could have been made in America, but
ivory stones with hieroglyphs cut into them with strange figures... like those
carved in Egypt on the temples.
Figures of headless men, swastikas, and snakes. One corner of the Fire Clan
Tablet has a corner missing. It was broken off when Masawa gave the stone to the
Hopi, and this piece was given to the White Brother as proof that he could
return and join in the Ceremonies, finally completing the Cycle making this a
paradise on Earth, complete with joyful songs to the Creator from the rooftops.
Old Oribia will be rejuvenated and rain will come for all the crops for all four
brothers on Mother Earth.
One of the tablets Masaw gave to the Fire Clan was very small, about four inches
square, made of dark colored stone, and with a piece broken off from one corner.
On one side were marked several symbols, and on the other the figure of a man
without a head. Masaw was the deity of the Fire Clan; and he gave them this
tablet just before he turned his face from them, becoming invisible, so that
they would have a record of his words.
This is what he said, as marked on the tablet: After the Fire Clan had migrated
to their permanent home, the time would come when they would be overcome by a
strange people. They would be forced to develop their land and lives according
to the dictates of a new ruler, or else they would be treated as criminals and
punished. But they were not to resist. They were to wait for the person who
would deliver them. This person was their lost white brother, Pahana, who would
return to them with the missing corner piece of the tablet, deliver them from
their prosecutors, and work out with them a new and universal brotherhood of
man. But, warned Masawa, if their leader accepted any other religion, he must
assent to having his head cut off. This would dispel the evil and save his
people.
-The Book of Hopi
Here some Hopi words you should know. Generative concepts from their culture.
Powaqqatsi:
Po waq qa tsi from the Hopi language
Powaq - sorcerer
qatsi - life
an entity, a way of life, that consumes the forces of other beings in order to
further its own life.
Naqoyqatsi:
Na qöy qatsi from the Hopi language
each other - kill many - life
1. a life killing each other
2. war as a way of life
3. civilized violence
The Hopi and Zuni are believed to have been descended from the
ancient Puebloan cultures who constructed large apartment-house complexes in
northeastern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico. They lived along the Mogollon
Rim, especially from the AD1100s through the 1300s, when they abandoned their
large villages. No researchers have been able to determine the reason, although
it is likely that a drying of watercourses would have forced the peoples away.
Peace
Where they lived.
Hopi Petition. What happened. Hystorical document.
A Hopi (Moqui) petition signed by all the Chiefs and headmen of the tribe asking
the Federal Government to give them title to their lands instead of individually
allotting each tribal member.
Another generative symbol.
This rendition of the Hopi spiral is also common among North, South and Central Native American Indian tribes. The spiral represents the number of journeys or treks a tribe or nation has made to the four corners of the earth. Engraved on stones, the spiral suggests an intricate journey made to the Otherworlds on back. Generally, the spiral represents a broadening of consciousness, which is the destination arrived after a long journey.
