-
- 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
the symbols, 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 earth. 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 that 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 Baha". 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." Baha, it means "light
or glory". Baha'i means "follower of the light", or the
"people of Baha". 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 Baha'is, the
"people of Baha", 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 Blood...in 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.
-
- We are now within the purification of all things. Non-Natives
call this the "Apocalypse". The Native elders call this the "Purification".
I want to share one non-Native prophecy with you. There was a seer in Europe
whose name was Nostradamus. I'm sure many of you have heard of him. He
foresaw three Great Shakings of the Earth. He said the Third Great Shaking
will begin when Lesser Arabia and Persia engage in a war. Five years ago,
when Mt. Saint Helens went off, Iraq attacked Iran. Lesser Arabia today
is called Iraq. Persia is called Iran. These two prophecies coincide. Both
the Native elders and Nostradamus said this will start slowly, almost unnoticed
by the people of the earth, but it will eventually involve us all. Eventually
the "gourd of ashes" will fall from the sky so muck that the
river that runs through the center of this [?], the Mississippi River,
will boil from the heat of the "gourds of ashes" that will fall
on this land. But don't despair. It sounds terrible, but we will survive
it. We will live through it. I don't think there's anyone chosen to live
through it, but some people will.
-
- So, in closing I would like to call on each and every
person, regardless of who you are, young or old, Native or non-Native,
to arise now, and to awake, to embrace this time, to learn everything you
can about the Teachings and the Writings, to arise and awake and go forth,
all the peoples of the earth. Peoples everywhere are now receptive to the
Message. This year is the year when that is really going to start, I believe,
myself. Arise and awake. That's a phrase from the Damuleada of Buddha.
It is time to arise and awake, to go forth and teach, to walk the road.
We call it the good red road, the road that runs north to south, things
that were lost from south to north but come back from north to south. There's
,people out there waiting to hear, waiting to hear... waiting to hear...
