A Message from the Heart of the World

[snip]

The Kogi Message

'From the beginning in Colombia
everything, everything remained as it
was
among us,
the native people;
the same belief, the same mask,
the same dance.
Everything well organised,
in order,
a terrace for every animal.

'Younger Brother was permitted in
other places,
other countries.
There was a dividing line, the sea.

'He said, 'Younger Brother that side,
Elder Brother this side.
You cannot cross it.'
Because this Colombia was the heart of
the world,
of the whole universe.

'But Younger Brother came from
another country
and immediately saw gold
and immediately began to rob.
There were golden images,
golden oracles.
The Mama prophesied with golden
bowls,
he had a golden tuma,
he had everything
and Younger Brother took it all to
another country.

'Now the Mama grows sad,
he feels weak.
He says that the earth is decaying.
The earth is losing its strength
because they have taken away much
petrol,
coal,
many minerals.

'A human being has much liquid inside.
If the liquid dries up we fall with
weakness.
This same thing can happen to the
earth,
weakness makes you fall,
weakness.

'So the earth catches diseases of all
kinds.
The animals die.
the trees dry up.

People fall ill.
Many illnesses will appear
and there will be no cure for them
Why?

'Because the Younger Brother is among
us,
Younger Brother is violating
the basic foundation of the world's law
A total violation.
Robbing.
Ransacking.
Building highways,
extracting petrol,
minerals.

'We tell you,
We the people of this place,
Kogi,
Asario,
Arhuaco:
that is a violation.

'So the Mamas say,
'Please BBC
no one else should come here,
no more ransacking
because the earth wants to collapse,
the earth grows weak,
we must protect it,
we must respect it,
because he does not respect the earth,
because he does not respect it.'

'Younger Brother thinks,
'Yes! Here I am! I know much about
the universe!'
But this knowing is leaming to destroy
the world,
to destroy everything,
all humanity.

'The earth feels, they take out petrol, it
feels pain there.
So the earth sends out sickness.
There will be many medicines,
drugs,
but in the end the drugs will not be of
any use.

'The Mamas say that this tale must be
learnt
by the Younger Brother.'

"Now that World is passing away. The grandmothers pointed out that the Fifth World being born must not be one of separatist female dominance, but rather one of forming a renewed society of women and men as equals. Fifth World society is shaped by the feminine paths of cooperation, nonaggression, inclusiveness, noncompetitiveness, service rather than dominance, use of psychic and spiritual gifts as well as technology, and living in conscious harmony with nature's ways. "

excerpt:

""Is there then no hope?" Grandfather asked.

The child spoke again. "There is only hope during the time of the first and second signs. Upon the third sign, the night of the bleeding, there is no longer hope, for only the children of the Earth will survive. Man will be given these warnings; if unheeded, there can be no hope, for only the children of the Earth will purge themselves of the cancers of mankind, of mankind's destructive thinking. It will be the children of the Earth who will bring a new hope to the new society, living closer to the Earth and Spirit."

Then all was silent, the landscape cleared and returned to normal, and Grandfather stepped from the Vision. Shaken, he said that he had wandered for the next season, trying to understand all that had been given to him, trying to understand why he had been chosen. "

"At a time when fear and panic are organized by controlled media all over
the world, when free Press is almost extinguished, when the so-called "truth"provided by leaders and official communiques cannot be trusted anymore because of corruption all over the world, instead of focusing, even with meditations, on so-called "dark spots" and "organized conflicts and wars", let us pause for a moment, and listen to simple native American Prophecies like this one, from the Cree people."

Mitakuye Oyasin "We all are related"
Nogama "All my relations"

"Warriors of the Rainbow"

There was an old lady, from the "Cree" tribe, named "Eyes of Fire", who
prophesied that one day, because of the white mans' or Yo-ne-gis' greed,
there would come a time, when the fish would die in the streams, the birds
would fall from the air, the waters would be blackened, and the trees would
no longer be, mankind as we would know it, would all but cease to exist.

There would come a time when the "keepers of the legend, stories, culture
rituals, and myths, and all the Ancient Tribal Customs" would be needed to
restore us to health. They would be man kinds' key to survival, they were
the "Warriors of the Rainbow".

There would come a day of awakening when all the peoples of all the tribes
would form a New World of Justice, Peace, Freedom and recognition of the
Great Spirit. The "Warriors of the Rainbow" would spread these messages and
teach all peoples of the Earth or "Elohi". They would teach them how to
live the "Way of the Great Spirit".

They would tell them of how the world today has turned away from the Great Spirit and that is why our Earth is "Sick". The "Warriors of the Rainbow" would show the peoples that this "Ancient Being" (the Great Spirit), is full of love and understanding, and teach them how to make the Earth
beautiful again.

These Warriors would give the people principles or rules to follow to make their path right with the world. These principles would be those of the Ancient Tribes. The Warriors of the Rainbow would teach the people of the
ancient practices of Unity, Love and Understanding. They would teach of Harmony among people in all four comers of the Earth.

Like the Ancient Tribes, they would teach the people how to pray to the Great Spirit with love that flows like the beautiful mountain stream, and flows along the path to the ocean of life. Once again, they would be able to feel joy in solitude and in councils. They would be free of petty jealousies and love all mankind as their brothers, regardless of color, race or religion. They would feel happiness enter their hearts, and become as one with the entire human race. Their hearts would be pure and radiate warmth, understanding and respect for all mankind, Nature, and the Great Spirit.

They would once again fill their minds, hearts, souls, and deeds with the purest of thoughts. They would seek the beauty of the Great Spirit! They would find strength and beauty in prayer and the solitudes of life. Their children would once again be able to run free and enjoy the treasures of Nature and Mother Earth.

Free from the fears of toxins and destruction, wrought by the Yo-ne-gi and his practices of greed. The rivers would again run clear, the forests be abundant and beautiful, the animals and birds would be replenished. The powers of the plants and animals would again be respected and conservation of all that is beautiful would become a way of life.

The poor, sick and needy would be cared for by their brothers and sisters of the Earth. These practices would again become a part of their daily lives. The leaders of the people would be chosen in the old way - not by their political party, or who could speak the loudest, boast the most, or by name calling or mud slinging, but by those whose actions spoke the loudest. Those who demonstrated their love, wisdom, and courage and those who showed that they could and did work for the good of all, would be chosen as the leaders or Chiefs.

They would be chosen by their "quality" and not the amount of money they had obtained. Like the thoughtful and devoted "Ancient Chiefs", they would understand the people with love, and see that their young were educated with the love and wisdom of their surroundings.

They would show them that miracles can be accomplished to heal this world of its ills, and restore it to health and beauty. The tasks of these "Warriors of the Rainbow" are many and great.

There will be terrifying mountains of ignorance to conquer and they shall find prejudice and hatred. They must be dedicated, unwavering in their strength, and strong of heart. They will find willing hearts and minds that will follow them on this road of returning "Mother Earth" to beauty and plenty - once more.

The day will come, it is not far away. The day that we shall see how we owe our very existence to the people of all tribes that have maintained their culture and heritage. Those that have kept the rituals, stories, legends, and myths alive. It will be with this knowledge, the knowledge that they have preserved, that we shall once again return to "harmony" with Nature, Mother Earth, and mankind.

It will be with this knowledge that we shall find our "Key to our Survival".
