During the past week there have been a few events that deserve
our attention, thought, and examination.
In an unprecedented and totally unexpected way, Hopi Elders for
the first time in history have openly shared their sacred, and
heretofore secret prophecies with the world. Robert Ghost Wolf,
noted Native American Prophet and author arranged for two Hopi
Elders to appear for three hours on the nationally aired Art Bell
show (out of Pahrump, NV) and freely discuss their sacred, and
heretofore secret prophecies. It has been said by many who have had
limited access to the prophecies in the past, that the Hopi
prophecies of the coming earth changes are among the most ancient
and accurate available. The Elders have come forth at this time
because they believe that we have passed the point of no return and
major changes are imminent, beginning within the next few months. It
is their hope to "soften" the effects by appealing to all to return
to a simpler, more spiritual way of life.
Last month at Spiritual Endeavors (and returning again this
coming month) noted author, environmentalist, and channeler, Rev.
Fred Sterling carried much the same message. Rev. Sterling
emphasized that "The Great Shift" has already begun. It is happening
now. In other related recent events, Gordon Michael Scallion, Robert
Ghost Wolf, and other modern day prophets began predicting major
Earth Changes, especially noticeable in the state of California
among other places, beginning this summer. And now the Hopi Elders
have gone on national radio with the same message.
So, the Earth is changing? The Great Shift is upon us? What is
one to do? I offer the following in reply.
First of all, if you are in denial - get over it. Open up your
eyes. Take a look around. How's the weather in your neck of the
woods? Perhaps it's a little different than it's ever been for your
locality? Try to find out what's really going on. You wont find out
by watching Hard Copy, or even the Evening News. You'll have to get
away from the latest political scandal of who is sleeping with whom
and dig just a little deeper to find the things of real importance.
Did you know that tornadoes have been spotted, for the first
time in history, that are spinning the wrong way?
Did you know that there are places in Mexico where the ground
temperature is heating up in excess of 200 degrees?
Did you know that during a seven day period in early June there
were 772 earthquakes recorded on the California - Nevada border near
Mammoth Lake? (Gordon Michele Scallion and others are predicting a
volcanic eruption there this summer.)
Did you know that on May 31st, the jet stream (an extremely fast
wind current that flows through the upper atmosphere) touched ground
for the first time in recorded history?
Did you know that all over North America, migratory birds have
stopped returning to their nesting grounds? And that salmon are no
longer returning to their spawning grounds? And indigenous tribes
throughout the world have stopped having children?
Okay, so much for denial. Once you accept that change is
happening, LET GO OF FEAR. Realize that it is a time of change and
not necessarily a time of fear. Fear clouds good judgement and put
heavy blocks between the inner intuition, which will be so important
during this time, and your conscious mind. The earth changing will
not kill you; it changes all the time! But fear, denial, and not
being open to your Inner Self and your intuition may.
Once accepted, and FEAR IS NOT AN ISSUE, investigate. Learn all
you can about what is happening. The Internet can be an invaluable
tool here. For the price of a VCR you can now interact with the
world on intimate terms from your living room or office. Through the
Internet, you'll be able to discover what you'll never hear on the
six o'clock news. You will no longer be at the mercy of news
programs governed and determined by entertainment ratings.
If your means can't afford Internet access, they can surely
afford the radio. But you'll have to twist that dial off the music
stations. Talk radio is a good place to begin. Art Bell's Coast To
Coast A.M. originates locally and is broadcast nationally. Guests as
well as callers will keep you informed of things that you'll never
hear on the television. Another locally produced radio program,
Patte Purcell's Next Dimension is currently going into national
syndication with a similar venue. Turning off the tube and turning
on the transistor can open many new paths to information.
And if your means are truly meager, a bus trip to the library
will be within your reach. Aside from Internet access, videos, and
taped radio programs, libraries have plenty of recent magazines and
books.
A word of caution may be helpful when you begin your
investigating. When one steps out from under the umbrella of
mainstream media and begins to learn what is really happening in the
world, there is often the tendency towards anger. "Why hasn't anyone
told me this before?" "Why isn't this on the News?" "There's a
conspiracy going on to keep us in the dark!" My advise here is to
let it pass. Finding out who's responsible and the inner workings of
the government or large conglomerate corporations is a tangent that
will not only waist time, but probably lead you into deeper anger
and fear and further away from love and truth.
Instead, take the path advised by the Hopi Elders and offered to
the world on June 15 over national radio. Rediscover your
spirituality. "If you change now, and change your life around, it
will help in the alleviation of much of the terrible outcome from
the cataclysms. There is a lot in store for all of us. And the
intensity of this will be a lot less if we can all settle down and
behave, and not be in the actions that we are right now." The Hopi
Elder went on to explain that it makes no difference whether your
spirituality falls in line with an organized philosophy or religion,
or if it is something that you have come up with and practice on
your own. "Practice your spirituality, whatever it may be, like you
have never practiced it before." And realize that your consciousness
affects the outcome. Your consciousness effects everything. Realize
that your thoughts, words and actions of today contribute to what
the world will be like tomorrow.
There you have it. Four easy steps to surviving the earth
changes and all the prophecies. Keep your eyes open. Let go of fear.
Learn all you can. Live your spirituality. It all sounds pretty
simple. It almost sounds like it could even be fun. And that's a
very important point to keep in mind. Fun.
True spirituality is fun. Very big fun. Joy is probably a better
word; bliss perhaps even better. If your spiritual path is not
leading you on a path of joy, I would suggest that it's perhaps time
to start shopping around. I have come to the understanding (and it
has taken a lot of sorrow to get here) that experiencing joy is the
most spiritual thing that one can do in the course of their day. Joy
is infectious. It changes and charges the very air that you walk
through. It lightens the hearts of those around you. And in these
troubled times I can think of no better healing energy to saturate
the Earth with. Joy! Why not take a few moments during each day just
to pause and think of something that makes you very happy? Try it.
You'll like it. It might even become a habit.
Well, I guess there's only one more point that need to be
addressed here. It's usually the position adopted by most skeptics
and those in denial as a justification for their position. "What if
the Hopi Elders are wrong?"" What if Gordon Michael Scallion, Robert
Ghost Wolf, Edgar Cayce, and all those other modern day prophets
are
wrong? What if the weather changes back to the way it has been in
the past? What if the birds, and the fish and babies come back? What
if there are no big earth changes? What if absolutely nothing
happens at all?
To this I can only reply, "Wouldn't that be nice?" We'd all be
able to breathe a collective sigh of relief and joy, take a look
around at the Heaven we've created here on Earth, and take great
satisfaction in the fact that we didn't have to go through Hell to
get there.
