At a 1986 Continental Indigenous council in Fairbanks Alaska, Cherokee Lee Brown Shared this. I found it very interesting. He said, "At the beginning of this cycle of time, long ago, the Great Spirit made an
appearance and gathered the peoples of this earth together, and said to the
human beings. "I'm going to send you to four directions and over time I¹m going
to change you to four colors. I'm going to give you some teachings, and you will
call these the Original Teachings; 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. 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 them
upon the ground. If any of the sisters and brothers 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 are 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 heal.
Then, when we came back together with the other sisters and brothers, 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 us 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. The elders have told me
that 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 sisters and brothers 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 Third Mesa. 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 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 Saskatchewan." He said, "This is from Kenya." It was beaded just like
ours, with the same colors. The stone tablets of the yellow race of people are kept by the Tibetans. 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, and they still know the symbols, some of
them. Each of these four peoples happen to live in the mountains.
Each of the four races went to their directions and learned their teachings.
It was in Newsweek not long ago that eight out of ten foods that people eat on
the earth are developed here in the western hemisphere because that is our
Guardianship -- to learn the teachings of the earth and the things that grow
from the Earth. We were given a sacred handshake to demonstrate, when we came
back together as sisters and brothers, that we still remember the teachings.
It was indicated on the stone tablets that the Hopis had that the first
sisters and brothers who 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.
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
armor, 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 mountains to have visions 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. 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. 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, if we had not come together as a human family,
the Great Spirit would grab the earth with His hand and shake it.
The elders on the west coast prophesied that 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 it¹s 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 was 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.
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 didn¹t want the reservations to become more and
more separate. They didn¹t 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 (the swastika of the Nazis). It would come with the sun. But
the sun itself would rise one day, not in the east but in the west (the rising
sun of the Japanese Empire).
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 will know that the Great Death
is to come upon the earth. Now is when 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, they knew that 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. The atomic bomb, the gourd of ashes, it was the best-kept secret
in the history of the US. The elders wanted to speak about it in 1920.
They would have spoken of it and foretold its coming if they could have
entered into the League of Nations. The elders tried to contact President
Roosevelt to 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.
So they knew after the Second Shaking of the Earth when they saw the gourd of
ashes fall from the sky, 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 we¹d 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 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. 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. 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 we¹re going to have a gathering.
We¹re going to call these the White Roots of Peace Gatherings."
They began to have these around 1950. And they authorized certain people 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 Banyaca.
He was authorized to speak in English about what was on the stone tablets, and
he has dedicated his life to doing this. And they began to tell us at these
gatherings, "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
great-grandchildren are going to suffer. The elders said long ago, "They will release these things, and 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. "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. They¹ll begin to reappear."
"You're going to see a time when the eagle will fly its highest in the night,
and it will land upon the moon. And at that time, many of the Native people will
be sleeping, which symbolically means they have lost their teachings. 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 have shared
with us this prophecy, clear down to the Quechuas in South America.
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 shaken 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.
Now they are talking about the sign for the Third Shaking of the Earth.
They said they¹re 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.
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 that, 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 it¹s 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.
They say there¹s 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, there¹s 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 toward us will have changed by then.
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.
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 so it won't
be quite as bad. How do we do this? We do this by sharing the teaching that will
reunite us."
I found this at http://www.crystalinks.com/cherokee.html It was written by Lee Brown, a Cherokee.
This was quite the read! =)
ReplyDeleteI would l like to learn more about their prophecies.
Yes, I found it very interesting as well. I was slightly disapointer that I was unable to find more. This was the best of what I could find.
