Chapter 8

Hopi prophesy

Many years ago, many years after, doc picked up a hitchhiker on the road on the way to the hospital. It was an old man, doc recognized him from the clinic, he was wearing traditional Hopi clothes, a red bandana on his head, the necklace. The man looked directly at doc and then around the gray government jeep. He recognized doc from the clinic too. He paused and waited and then looked like he was listening or praying. He held up his hand and gave three shouts then put corn meal on his forehead and on doc’s and then began. “Hopi means peaceful in English. Great Spirit creator has given us the job of taking care of earth and it’s plants, animals and people for the divine power. We are not to do this for greed, wealth, or military power ever. Creator gave me a prayer feather and the job to deliver a message all over earth about peace. The creator made four worlds. The first world was made in perfect balance, all people were one, spoke one language and got along in peace. But then, they broke the rules and misued their spiritual powers and this first world was destroyed by earthquakes. Only a handful of people survived and they were given the work of making the second world. This world started good again with one language and peace but the people repeated their mistakes and this world was destroyed by ice and freezing. Only a handful of people who held the old ways of peace survived and they went to make the third world. Again, this world started with one language and with peace and love and balance. In this world were spiritual powers for good and many machines were invented too. This world too went from spiritual prayer and balance to material greed and then it was destroyed in a huge flood whose story is told in many religions. Again, elders led people of peace away who survived and they made the fourth world, the world in which we live now. In this fourth world, creator gave us many language and sent us in the four directions of the earth to settle. He told us to take care of mother earth and all that is in it. but as you know, doc, the world is in a terrible state.

Then, he held up a ceremonial rattle he was carrying. Doc had seen him carry this before in the hospital  and when he walked in town to buy groceries at the trading post. He continued with the rattle in the air, shaking it slowly back and forth, making a sound like corn growing. “This rattle is mother earth. The line running around it’s edge shows we are getting near the end of the fourth world. Humans are poisononing the earth, at war and strife, poisoning the seas and air and their own food. The temperature rises and sea ice is melting.  And greed is rampant and materialism the law of life for many. At the same time as there are people richer than ever before with the greed and materialism, children starve in the streets, families are  homeless and have no medical care or education.

So with our prophesy there are two roads, this was put on a sacred stone and rock painting on our sacred land. One road is technology and materialism and greed and war, separate from the earth nature and spirituality and on the rock ends in a jagged line of chaos. It  will lead to destruction of the fourth world. The other road is peace and love and oneness and creativity in harmony with natural law and will lead to the fourth world continuing and getting better leading to paradise in this world. Each person needs to choose the road and be on it absolutely with their whole heart body spirit and act without fear in each breath for this path to creator. There is a bridge between the two paths, we can move back and forth on that bridge to choose our path and be on out correct path. It is time, the final signs of the Hopi prophesy and here and it’s totally time to choose and be on it fully right now.  On the creator’s path you need to speak for the rocks, plants, animals and humans on earth and for mother earth herself and with the voice of spirit  and path of spirituality. When you are not separted from nature, mother earth can speak through you to save her body and children.

Native people hold the world together with prayer, fasting and ceremony. The land on the Hopi res where you live doc is the sacred center of the earth and must be protected at all costs or the whole thing will come apart.

There are the signs now, the world is cracking apart. Some people will be safe and they will rebuild for the fifth world. But I am old and dying and I will not live to see this. You will doc and you will play a role in this so pay attention. Things will come to you soon that will direct you on your path and help you. Creator will send you visions that will instruct you on what to do. Follow them. The old man got out of the jeep at third mesa and walked away. He stopped and waved, a dog came up to him and several children and touched their heads and walked away in the distance.
