T.N.G. SIGNS OF THE TIMES - N.M. August 23, 2006  (#160)

 

Greetings from Russell's Remnant:                                                                                  www.oocities.org/dkone_us

 

            Many years ago, Dr. Russell Whitesell was driving an influential Hopi Chief back to his reservation from a meeting with some American businessmen and some friends of the United Nations.  As the car stopped, the chief exited from the car.  He thanked Dr. Whitesell for the ride, and then he bowed down and made this comment, “Mr. Whitesell, you are welcome in Hopi Kiva anytime.”  The kiva was the place where the Hopi holy men met, and just by being in Russell’s aura, the chief knew that Russell was a “white man’s” holy man.

 

            Richard Bach, the author of several books including Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Illusions wrote an opening in this second book discussing the clingers who clung to rocks and debris on the bottom of their world which was a river.  One of these clingers became so bored with life that he let go.  His friends yelled for him not to let go or he would be dashed against the rocks and die.  He yelled back after bouncing off of several rocks that he was okay, and he encouraged the others to let go.  They refused to let go, but they did call him a god because he was not afraid to let go and let the river take him where it would.  This story came back to me as I read a recent message of hope from the Hopi Indians to the world.

 

                        A MESSAGE OF HOPE FROM THE HOPI NATION

 

          To my fellow swimmers,

          There is a river flowing very fast.

          It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid.

          They will try to hold on to the shore.

          They will feel that they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly.

          Know that the river has its destination.

          The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of

                    the river, keep our eyes open and our heads above the water.

          And I say “See who is in there with you and celebrate!”

          At this time in history we are to take nothing personally, least of all

                    ourselves. 

          For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes

                    to a halt.

          The time of the lone wolf is over.

          Gather yourselves!  Banish the word struggle from your vocabulary.

          All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

 

                    WE ARE THE ONES WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.

                             Oraibi, Arizona Hopi Nation

            It has become apparent that the holy men among the Maya and Hopi are preparing humanity from some big changes on the planet in the next 61/2 years.
