We are the Ones we are waiting for

The following is a quote from an unnamed Elder of the Hopi Nation in Oraibi, Arizona.

For me, questioning the quickening of life in this week of full moon and winter solstice, it says everything. Please ask yourself these things to be considered and answer each one. Then take a step back and take a look at your life.

"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."

Then he clasped his hands together, smiled, and said, "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 torn apart and 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 water. And I say, 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 for the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word struggle from you 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."

I watched the Elephant story by David Attenborough on Sunday. It struck me when he said they were superior conscious beings. This was my thought – just popped into my head – that like the Red Indians who could not see the ships sailing down the river because they had no visual reference for them, perhaps Elephants live like THEY are the humans and in control of this planet and only
See THEIR reality – what they eat, other animals etc. And they only see us when we enter into their realm and somehow cross over into their vision. Then I though that perhaps aliens and ghosts (and millions of other beings of whom I have no reference point - were possibly like this and lived here right now with us on this planet. It is only when they cross over into our realm, that we see them? and then only as a dream or a glimpse or a trick of the light.

However we question and have fear and our brains reject what we see as there is no acceptable platform for them. It’s as if billions of conscious beings live around us. They conduct their daily lives as we do, some aware most not.

I “FEEL” the pulse of earth beneath me to be quickening at a rate never before witnessed in recent history. It’s always quickening but we don’t see it as it happens over time. Now it seems to be escalating and everyone is feeling a shift – financially, emotionally, and physically. It is as if in order to survive we must let go of what we THINK is True and open to what we do not yet know. How we do that is to have faith in ourselves and not allow FEAR to influence our thoughts and lives.

Perhaps we are in an Intensive for Life and training for some future event – This is survival training. We either sink in fear or rise to the challenge and find new muscles we never knew we had.

I do not know if something is changing - or maybe it is just ME that is changing. All my friends and family FEEL this. Perhaps that is simply my illusion that is evolving?

Whatever this is - or isn't - perhaps we cimply consider all those things mentioned above and let go of the shore - and just float, knowing that we are already here and WE are the ones we are waiting for.
