| When
the Clock Strikes Midnight
From
the Elders at Old Oraibi
"Many of you have come here for years now asking the Hopi about
the prophecies, and when the clock will stop ticking.
You have
spoken with our elders, and some came with good heart, and others
with bad heart., some left never knowing their own hearts and could
not hear the heart of the Hopi.
You always
left here always fed with something from us, for your thirst for knowing,
and always blessed from our hearts.
Now
the time together is short, shorter than you know, and our hearts
are heavy.
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."

Elders, Oraibi, Arizona Hopi Nation
