”Time evolves and comes to a place where it renews again.There is first a purification time, then its renewal time.We are geting very close to this time now.

We were told we would see America come and go. In a sense America is dying, from within. Because they have forgotten the instructions of how to live on earth.

Everything is coming to a time where prophecy and mans inability to live on earth, in a spiritual way. Is coming to a crossroad of great problems. It's the Hopi believes that if your not spiritual connected to earth and understand the spiritual reality of how to life on earth, its unlikely you will make it.

When Columbus came that began what we term as The First World War. The true first world war. Because along with him came everybody from Europe.

By the end of the second world war we were in America only 800 000. From 60 000 000 to 800 000. So… We were almost exterminated here in America.

Everything is spiritual. Everything has a spirit. Everything was brought here by the creator. Some people call him god, some Buddha, some Allah, some by other names. We call him Konkachila, grandfather.

We’re here on earth only a few winters. Then we go to the spirit world. The spirit world is more real that most of us believe. The spirit world is everything. Over 95% of our body is water. In order to stay healthy we got to drink good water. When the Europeans first came here, Colombus, we could drink out of any river. If the Europeans had lived the Indian way when they came, we still be drinking our water. Beaus water is sacred. The air is sacred.

Our DNA is made out of the same DNA as the tree. The tree breath what we exhale. When the tree exhales we need what the tree exhales. So, we have a common destiny with the trees. We are all from the earth. When the earth, water and the atmosphere is corrupted then it will create its own reaction. Mother is reacting. In Hopi prophecy they say that the storms and the floods will become greater.

To me it's not a negative thing to know that there will be great changes. It's not negative, its evolution. When you look at it as evolutions, its time. Nothing stays the same.

You should learn how to plant something, thats the first connection. You should tweet all thing as spirit. Realize that we are one family.

There is never something like the end. Its like life, there is no end to life.”

It's both a beautiful thing to hear the traditions and beliefs of the Hopi Indians, and so sad to hear how those beliefs and traditions translate to the current world. I have upvoted this content and will be featuring it on my daily gems blog post.
