We must do what we conceive to be the
right thing and not bother our heads
or burden our souls with whether we
will be successful. Because if we
don’t do the right thing, we will be
doing the wrong thing and we will just
be a part of the disease and not a
part of the cure.

SPEAKS
Then all at once
great happiness overcame me and it all
took hold of me right there.
This was to remind me to get to work at
once and help to bring my people back
into the sacred hoop, that they might
again walk the red road in a sacred
manner pleasing to the Powers of the
Universe that are One Power.
I remembered how the spirits had taken
me to the centre of the earth and shown
me the good things, and how my people
should prosper.
I remembered how the Six Grandfathers
had told me that through their power I
should make my people live and the holy
tree should bloom.
I believed my vision was coming true at
last, and happiness overcame me.

PEACE
BETWEEN ALL PEOPLES
Brothers and sisters, we bring to your
thought and minds that right-minded
human beings seek to promote above all
else the life of all things. We direct
to your minds that peace is not merely
the absence of war, but the constant
effort to maintain harmonious existence
between all peoples, from individual to
individual, and between humans and the
other beings of this planet.
We point out to you
that a spiritual consciousness
is the path to
survival of humankind.

OUR WORLD
WILL BE SAVED
HOPI PROPHECY
Dan
Evehema, elder of Hopi Nation
The timing is now to reveal the last
warnings
and instructions to mankind.
We were told to settle permanently here
in Hopiland where we met the Great
Spirit and to wait for Older Brother,
who went east, to return to us.
When he returns to this land he will
place his stone tablets side by side to
show all the world that they are our
true brothers - when the road in the sky
has been fulfilled and when the
inventing of something, in Hopi means,
gourd of ashes, a gourd that, when it
drops upon the earth will boil
everything within a large space and
nothing will grow for a very long time.
We were told that THREE HELPERS who were
commissioned by the Great Spirit to help
Hopi bring about the peaceful life on
earth would appear to help us and that
we should not change our homes, our
ceremonials, our hair, because the true
helpers might not recognize us as the
true Hopi.
So we have been waiting all these years.
It is known that our True White Brother,
when he comes, will bring with him the
sacred stone tablets.
With him there will be two great ones,
both very wise and powerful.
One will have a symbol or sign which
represents purity and is Female, a
producer of life.
The third one, or the second one of the
two helpers to our True White Brother,
will have a sign of a symbol of the SUN.
He, too, will be very wise and
powerful.
One will have the symbol of the moja, or
cross.
We have in our sacred Kachina ceremonies
a gourd rattle which is still in use
today with these symbols of these
powerful helpers of our True Brother.
It is also prophesied that, if .... the
three helpers chosen by the Creator
fulfil their sacred mission, and even
if there are only one, two, or three of
the true Hopi who remain holding fast to
the last ancient teaching and
instructions the Great Spirit, Massauu
will appear before all, and our World
will be saved.
The three will lay out a new life plan
which leads to everlasting life and
peace.
The earth will become new as it was from
the beginning. Flowers will bloom again,
wild game will return to barren lands,
and there will be abundance of food for
all.
Those who are saved will share
everything equally and they all will
recognize Great Spirit and speak one
language.

The Earth and myself
are of one mind.
The measure of the
land and the measure
of our bodies are
the same.

RAINBOWS OF HOPE
That small untoward clan,
which knows the divine call of the
spirit through the brain, and the secret
whisper of the soul in the heart, and
forever perceives the veil of mystery
and the rainbows of hope upon our human
horizons, which hears and sees, and yet
turns wisely, meanwhile, to the life of
the green earth, of which we are part,
to the common kindred of living things
with which we are at one.

MAY
THE WILL THAT IS IN HEAVEN AND THE LOVE
THAT IS IN EARTH BE ONE. AND MAY THE
MIND THAT DIVIDED US CATACLYSMICALLY
AGAINST OUR-SELVES, EACH OTHER AND THE
EARTH, BE SUBJECTED TO THE WILL OF THE
FATHER AND THE LOVE OF THE MOTHER, SO
THAT GREED, LUST, AND THE HUNGER
FOR POWER THAT DOMINATES HUMAN LIFE TODAY
MAY PERISH FOREVER, AND HUMANITY AND
NATURE AGAIN BE UNITED AND AT PEACE

I HAVE A DREAM that
my four little children will one day
live in a nation where they will not be
judged by the colour of their skin but
by the content of their character. When
we let freedom ring, when we let it ring
from every village and hamlet, from
every state and every city, we will be
able to speed up that day when all God’s
children, black and white, Jews and
Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics,
will be able to join hands and sing in
the words of that old Negro spiritual:
Free at
last. Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, WE
ARE FREE AT LAST

TELL YOU HOW THIS IS GOING TO BEGIN. I'M
GOING TO SHOW OUR PEOPLE WHAT 'THEY'
DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE. I'M GOING TO SHOW
YOU A WORLD WITHOUT 'THEM'. A WORLD

The transformation
of Man
is taking place and is palpably
accelerating.
If we can but attune inwardly, dedicate
ourselves to the service of the divine
will and open the heart to the Christ
impulse, then there is no cause for
worry.
The only real source for anxiety would
be that we
slept through these events and failed to
see what is afoot.
So, like the Wise Virgins, let us keep
our lamps trimmed.

PSALM 23
The Lord is my
shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me
to lie down in green pastures. He leads
me beside quiet waters. He restores my
soul. He guides me in paths of
righteousness for His name’s sake. E’en
though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I shall fear no evil.
For you are with me. Your rod and your
staff comfort me. You prepare a table
before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil. My cup
overflows. Surely goodness and love will
follow me all the days of my life and I
will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

Do not be too
timid and squeamish about your
actions. All life is an experiment.
The more experiments you make the
better. What if they are a little
coarse, and you may get your coat
soiled or torn? What if you do fail,
and get fairly rolled in the dirt once
or twice. Up again, you shall never be
so afraid of a tumble.

The task of showing whether or not
humanity is viable rests with us – each
of us.
Unlike other species, humanity can
anticipate the future, make conscious
choices and deliberately change its own
destiny. For the first time in the whole
history of evolution, responsibility for
the continued unfolding of evolution has
been placed on the evolutionary material
itself.
We are no longer
passive witnesses to the process, but
can actively shape the future.
Whether we like it
or not, we are now the custodians of the
evolutionary process on Earth. Within
our own hands lies the evolutionary
future of this planet.

HO to the power of the moment, for
at this time it is more right than it
has been for many centuries. I see a
long line of shields, the shields of
many braves who fought for the freedom
of the land and their people. These
braves are all on the Earth plane and
are stirring and are having memories.
White Buffalo Calf Woman will bring
the pipe to smoke the prayers of the
people awake. There are many stirrings
now amongst the young of all races.
It
only takes a few people to start a
change.
This is just the
beginning. Soon there will be large
numbers.
HO, it is time to awaken
our dreams.

Behold, my brothers,
the spring has come.
The earth has received the embraces
of the sun and we shall soon see the
results of that love! Every seed is
awakened and so has all animal life.
It is through this mysterious power
that we too have our being and we
therefore yield to our neighbours, even
our animal neighbours, the same right as
ourselves to inhabit this land.
My love of our
native soil is wholly mystical.
