Hopi Prophecy and Transition Towns

Even though it has been a week since the Transition Town conference I went to in Cambridge, MA I am still integrating its message. I will write more, I promise, but I wanted to share something that resonated for me.

At the end of this intense 2 day experience one of our moderators told us this touching story of the Hopi Prophecy. Our moderator said that the Hopi say that the time of the “Lone Wolf” is at an end and that there is this fast rushing river of change that is running through our lives, whether we wish to see it or not.

There are many Hopi and other native prophesies that are floating about, especially relating to end times (tho they thought it as a Transition time from one distinct age to another, very different than modern day strip-mall variety Rapture Lore).

He gave us the nugget but I will share the whole thing here:

“You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.
Now you must go back and tell the 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 on to 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 middle of
the river, keep our eyes open, and our 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 your vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”

–The Elders, Oraibi, Arizona Hopi Nation

    That is such a poignant prophecy. I’m really happy you shared that today.

    What you are saying is true, There are many Translations of the Hopi Prophecy out there, Most of them are only trying to justify or make the Prophecy fit in the modern times, which is causing the mass confusion amongst their people, other translations which puts dates on certain events are only trying to disprove the Prophecy. The Prophecy is a hundred percent right. people need to change their ways of thinking and start looking into the way they are heading.
    I know the truth behind the Prophecy, for I am the one who has the Tiponi Tablets. “The Scared Tablets” The las message from God to mankind. The Hopi Elders have until the end of the second season of this year to accept them and the truth behind them. If they refuse then it is my job to present them to the world and all of mankind by the end of the third season of this year
