Message from the Hopi Elders


Message from the Hopi Elders

We have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.
Now we must go back and tell people that THIS is the hour.
And there are things to be considered:
Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.
It is time to speak your truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader.
This could be a good time!
There is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift that there are those who will be
afraid.
They will try to hold onto the shore.
They will feel they are being torn apart, and they will suffer
greatly.
Know the river has its destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore,
Push off into the river.
Keep your eyes open,
And your heads above the water.
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 attitude and vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in
celebration.

We are the One's we've been waiting for.

The Elders
Oraibi, Arizona
Hopi Nation

(Received from a dear friend, just wanted to share it with you, LOVE, Octarine)

Hi Octarine,

Thanks for posting this. I recognise truth in many of the words here and I have always been interested in the Native American civilisation. They are a very spiritual people in tune with nature. I like to read their teachings. I must ask though - who are the Hopi Elders? I have heard of their tribe but does this teaching come from the leaders of that tribe today (do they still have any form of leadership? ) or is this a message from yesteryear? Look forward to hearing from you, K.

Hi Kundalini,

The Hopi tribe is probably the oldest exsiting oral tradition on the planet. Their Elders, as in ancient tribes, are the guides of the tribe as are for example the Mayan Elders.
As I said I've got the message from a dear friend, amd since I haven't made any mayor investigation on this tribe or culture, I'm just assuming this message comes from them. In whichever case their words resonated with me and I'm glad you liked them as well.

Blessings,

Octarine

Hello El Barto.
I'd like to answer your question, But I’m Buddhist and this is the Native American thread.
So I’ll just say,
Meditate on it and look inward for your answer.
;)

Hi El Barto,

I do not claim to have an answer here, however I think it is just a matter of interpretation.
Your wish to look for elders, I suppose it is your search for a teacher, someone who can guide you on your path, who can transmit you their wisdom.
What the message says here, to look for the leader inside of you is exactly that, to follow your heart, I'm sure your wish to go to these elders comes from within yourself and not by following someones instructions, so yeah, that's it, look for the leader inside and follow it.
I interpret this as a way of trying to free myself from all those who seem to be leaders. Buddha himself said do not believe what others tell you is true until you have expirienced it by yourself. It works quite well for me.

Take what resonates and leave the rest.

Love,

Octarine

You can sit in your own chair and join them whenever you like El Barto.
If you are living for the same cause, you are working with them already!
Love and light to you,
