HOPI MESSAGE FROM THE ELDERS

Beautiful Berry! Thank you! Yes!

until it said these profoundly resonating words at around 4 minutes,

"Banish the word struggle from you attitude and your vocabulary"

and in the next frame,

"All that we do now must be done in a Sacred manner and in celebration"

Berry, remember what Carla Rueckert said about her regular day-to-day so called mundane chores?  She saw them and treated them as utterly Sacred in her attitude towards them.  This reminded me so much of what she was getting at so simply....

Berry, thank you for posting.  Such a simple message that we need to hear over and over again, until it is in our very fabric! 

Much love and light,

Kathy

Thanks Berry-

What an important message at this time.

Wendy

I thought I posted this before but don't see it, relevent for our time, I offer it again. There is an Ojibwa word for the 'new people', I believe it is O ki bi ma di zeeg- or close to that. I believe we are the 'new' people, may we choose the right path. Aho.                                                                     kristyne 

The Prophecy of the Seven Fires                            Anishinabe

Then seven prophets appeared to the people. The First Prophet told the people that in the time of the First Fire they would leave their homes by the sea and follow the sign of the megis. They were to journey west into strange lands in search of a island in the shape of a turtle. This island will be linked to the purification of the earth. Such an island was to be found at the beginning and at the end of their journey. Along the way they would find a river connecting two large sweet water seas. This river would be narrow and deep as though a knife had cut through the land. They would stop seven times to create villages but they would know that their journey was complete when they found food growing on the water. If they did not leave, there would be much suffering and they would be destroyed. And they would be pursued and attacked by other nations along the way so they must be strong and ready to defend themselves.

The Second Prophet told them they could recognize the Second Fire because while they were camped by a sweet water sea they would lose their direction and that the dreams of a little boy would point the way back to the true path, the stepping stones to their future.

The Third Prophet said that in the Third Fire the Anishinabe would find the path to the lands prepared for them and they would continue their journey west to the place where food grows upon the water.

The Fourth Prophet was two who came as one. The first told them to expect a race of people who had light skin. The future of the Anishinabeg would be known by the face the light-skinned people would wear. If they come in brotherhood there would be a time of wonderful change. New knowledge would be joined with the old knowledge and the two peoples would join to make a mighty nation. Two other nations would join to make four and they would become the mightiest nation of all. If they brought only their knowledge and their good-will they would be like brothers.

The second being of the Fourth Prophet warned the light-skinned race might wear the face of death that would almost look the same as the face of brotherhood. "If they come carrying a weapon and if they seem to be suffering, beware. Behind this face is greed. You shall recognize the face of death if the rivers are poisoned and the fish are unfit to eat."

The Fifth Prophet said that in the time of the Fifth Fire there will be a struggle between the way of the mind of the light-skinned people and the natural path of spirit of the many nations of natural people.

"As this fire loses its heat there will come among the people those who promise great joy and salvation. If the people accept this promise and abandon the old ways, the struggle will continue for many generations. This promise is false and it will nearly destroy those who accept it."

The Sixth Prophet told them that in the time of Sixth Fire it would be clear that the promise accepted during the Fifth Fire was false.

"Those who were deceived by this promise will take their children away from the teachings of the elders. The elders will lose their purpose in life and many will become sick and die. Many people will be out of balance and the cup of life will become the cup of grief."

The Seventh Prophet was younger than the others who had come and there was a glowing light from his eyes. He said that there would come a time when the waters had been so poisoned that the animals and plants that lived there would fall sick and begin to die. Much of the forests and prairies would be gone so the air would begin to lose the power of life. The way of the mind brought to the red, black, and yellow nation by the white nation would bring danger to the whole earth.

In this time there will be a new people who will emerge from the clouds of illusion. They will retrace their steps to find the treasures that had been left by the trail. The stories that had been lost will be returned to them. They will remember the Original Instructions and find strength in the way of the circle. Their search will take them to the elders and the new people will ask for guidance. But many of the elders will have walked the Path of the Souls to the Star Web. Many elders will have forgotten their wisdom and they will not be able to help. Some of the elders will point in the wrong direction and others will remain silent because of their fear. Some of the elders will be silent because no one has asked them for their wisdom.

If the New People will find trust in the way of all things, in the circle, they will no longer need the selfish voice of the ego and they can begin to trust their inner voice. Wisdom will be once again be found in dreams of the night and of the day. The sacred fire will once again be lit. The Light-skinned People will be given a choice between two paths. If they choose the right path the Seventh Fire will light the Eighth Fire and final fire of brotherhood and sisterhood.

If they choose the wrong path, remaining on the path of the mind, then the destruction they brought with them will come back to destroy them. The people of the earth will experience much suffering and death.

Thank you Kristyne, reminded me of the8thfire message that came up a while ago.

The picture is my drum before the painting was complete so some of the things, you won't see in the bigger picture. The drum is part of my 'medicine'. A tool bridging daily life with the Sacred.

See first the seed of Life, which turns into the Flower of Life with the Earth on center birthing from it.

In the ribbons moving out from center-Light and dark, day and night, moon and sun, air, Earth and water all appear.

Significant animals, the Bear, Buffalo, Bull, dragonfly, turtle, eagle, dolphins-some guides, some representing significant people in my life.   

4 dolphins, one swimming alone-I am the oldest of 4 sisters-they represent us. The dragonfly representative of my oldest daughter as dragonfly picked her from a very young age. The bull-          my husband and youngest daughter-both ruled by the sign of Taurus (and the ones who have served to keep my often in the clouds Aquarian/Pisces head,heart and feet firmly planted on terra firma).         The Bear, both a guide and the nickname given my grandfather who was a police officer with the fierceness of Bear and Bear's gentleness when it came to women, children and those in need.          Eagle has sat quietly watching as I drum and sing old songs while in the Keewanau where I summer, and Eagle is the intercessor between Earth and the heavens. Turtle teaches us much.

*The bear holds the teachings of introspection. The eagle acts as a sacred messenger that carries prayers to the Creator and returns with gifts and visions. The turtle can't be separated from its shell and we can't separate ourselves from who we are but  we can emerge from our shell to interact with the world around us, and allow that emergence to be a blessing to all as we walk our Earth path. Dolphin, breath of life, teaches attunement to the rhythms and patterns of nature and true communication with the wisdom of All That Is.  When we've tricked ourselves into believing the limitations of physical existence, Dragonfly  teaches us to pierce our self-created illusions. Buffalo teaches gratitude and abundance and about the give-away- a high value placed on giving away and sharing what is ours. Once something is given away, all strings to that gift are broken with no expectation of a gift in return.* 

(Creator bless and keep the turtle babies about to hatch all over the Gulf and all life similiarly affected by our misdeeds. Mitakuye Oyasin. Aho.)

The power of the Mother, is represented by Lightning in grey sky and the promise of the rainbow appears in the border around the drum. Inside the border, which you don't see here, are healing symbols and the sign of Aquarius. The current age as well as the sign I was born under.

For awhile I am the drum's keeper. May I breathe Peace always. May All be humbly blessed by the blessings sent on the wings of a heartbeat and one simple song.     Lovingly,     kristyne

~there is only one song, in our harmony it can be heard.~

Thank you Berry, that was majestic.  Was good to see the clarification concerning Albinos too at the end...

and Aho. I just re-read something about 'Miracle' today! Dare I say synchronicity ...

One of the guests at the conference last weekend was Rainbow Eagle, who is the keeper of the Peace Shield and author of "The Universal Peace Shield of Truths: Ancient American Indian Peace Shield Teachings". I began re-reading it this week. How beautiful your video is and a reminder of the Divine among us and the beauty within each family of Earth's many creatures.

Smiling wide and breathing Peace!

Love kristyne

Thanks Berry-

What a message of hope - it is so inspiring to see these beautiful animals.

Thanks-

Wendy
