This

manner
pleasing to the Powers of the Universe
that
are One Power.
I

I

to
your thought and minds that
right-minded
human beings seek
to
promote above all else the life

that peace is not merely
the

constant
effort to maintain
harmonious
existence between
all
peoples, from individual to

and between humans
and

We
point out to you that a

"OUR
WORLD WILL BE SAVED"
HOPI
PROPHECY
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 fulfill 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.

then
there is no cause for

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.

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.

These
braves are all on the Earth plane and are stirring
and
are having memories. White Buffalo Calf Woman will
bring

There
are many stirrings now amongst the young of all

It only takes a few people to start a change.
This

numbers.
HO it is time to awaken our dreams.

HO

Courage

May
