PJ 12CHAPTER 23REC #2 HATONNFRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1990 11:45 A.M. YEAR 3, DAY 170
Hatonn present in the service of the Great Spirit and the Gentle Lands that we may bring light unto a weary, darkened place. That which is within must come without that we may see, together, the truth of our journey.
As I relate some of the legends and speakings I shall sometimes not honor ones who have spoken for, although they have spoken great truths, many have sold the traditions and given the oral teachings without permission and not in their proper sequence. It is for those ones to confront that which they have done in error; not for me to be in judgment of their path. Nothing is hidden from Tonkashila, Wakan Tanka or from Kunshi, Waziya and I may not speak in their stead for I honor the great Wisdom of Creator/Creation.
For those who wonder what happens here in this place at our writings, we always invite the dark spirits and evil brotherhood to take leave and do not ever begin the scribing until the area is naught save LIGHT, that these truths be untainted. Then as you walk with your eyes through the Journals ye shall find naught but truth. Thank you for your inquiries.
BELIEVINGS OF WHITE BEAR
It is a positive truth that the "magic" of the power, richness and relevance of the American Indians of the Ancients are being reborn in this decade. This is due to the planetary system which is forcing man to come to full realization and to see that this may be obtained from the tribal religious order. There are certain events that are taking place which you know give evidence that the old traditions are regaining strength. These activities are going on in the atmosphere, as well as in human affairs. This is why it is of concern that people come to full realization at this time.
The events that are occurring in your nation today are an important part of the Hopi prophecies. There is much evidence that can be given, but the concern is that many will fail to realize it and acknowledge it. Ones do not wish to listen because of the bigotry which man holds for man of another color and yet no human can shed of his skin and remain in the physical. Prejudice is a great barrier indeed.
As far back as the time of White Bear's uncle in 1890, the ones in Washington were warned of the events in time that would take place but, unfortunately for some, pigmentation of the skin stops the brain from accepting truth.
As White Bear now says, "Color offers no barriers between brothers of the soul; but our messages in the ancient prophecies are continually ignored. But who are we? We are not an aggressive people. We are not going to make any kind of aggressive movement against someone who is doing wrong to us. We leave all things to our Divine Creator to straighten up. But we now see more of our p3ople reviving interest in their native traditions and in their native philosophies, but there are two types of forces that are now active. One is the aggressive, and the other is a spiritual movement. The spiritual movement will pevail and become stronger, because the aggressive force will get caught up in national affairs and lose sight of important issues.
"We see ones using of harmful psychotropic drugs as they claim ‘to aid in spiritual development'. This is completely wrong. I cannot go along with these things. My people must pull away from the harmful things which were never used as man today uses them and proclaims sanctity for their use. For those who truly wish in spiritual ways, to resort to marijuana, peyote, and these other things is wrong. Those things were never to be used except in the most traditional and sacred manner.
"There are no short-cuts to spirituality. You must start from within. You cannot receive your upliftment from chemicals. You must receive important messages from your vision dreams.
"There will be spiritual awakening in the continents of what are called Europe and Asia wherein lie the foundation of the religious traditions of those places. But they must come to America. This is where the freedom was. This is where the true spirit of the Brotherhood was established. Regardless of how many religious orders they may have set up thousands of years ago, we are the people who have not contaminated the true spiritual knowledge. Some of our ones have misused it in their mistaken ways as they have picked up the traditions of the thieves and zealots but those, also, must come back into the path.
"You ones would want me to say that we are going to clean up this mess that has been made, I cannot. The pollution of our atmosphere is the worst thing that man has done. This pollution will get into our soil and into the physical parts of our people, as a whole race of mankind. Worse, not only will people's bodies he contaminated, but their spirits. The Hopi are trying their best to awaken all the nations of the world to this part of our prophecy. We are not the only ones but I can only speak clearly for my people.
"When we speak of the Older White Brother we do not refer to the modern white man. We refer to the spiritual brother who has understanding of all kinds. He is not of human flesh at the moment, but he will come. Certain aggressive actions by nations, who call themselves the Great Powers, will set in motion a certain event that will lead to the coming of the True White Brother.
"Everyone wants to know exactly when and give a date, a year and it cannot be done. Even with our prophecies, which have been so widely spread about, the "year" is only an idea of tune for you can only go by the cycles and there is no exactness for "times" can be changed but never sequence. There has been a most interesting great program laid out to accommodate to man's insanity. Everybody has to go by the pages of a paper full of dates and schedule of the weeks which run from a day called Sunday to another day called Sunday. Well, there are certain things that people may do in between, but they must arrive at next Sunday. There are things on the great program that may take years and years to fulfill, but all things are laid down on the schedule. Ones look upon the loose time frames and if such and such a thing has not happened by a given time or it happens before the speculations said it would, then everyone decides it will not happen and the prophecies are wrong. No, it is man who is wrong, not the calendar of the cycles and sequence.
"It appears that in probabilities we are about fifteen or so years behind in sequence. There are great universal powers which are making young people go into the Indian lifestyle and try to copy it. They move into the 'game' without having knowledge. Unfortunately, not all of these young people are motivated by spiritual things, and they are destructive.
"The wrong kind of 'force', a negative force, is being used among these young people and it is indeed destructive. I wish it could be that they could take up the positive aspects and teachings as far as their adopting our tribal ways and customs for we are trying to keep ourselves clean, but it is not good that they play in the games like children in the meadows.
"Many of these young people come from wonderful people, but until they learn the true way of getting on the right course of the spiritual life through speakings with the Great Spirit, this opposite force will continue to motivate them. Some speak of having lived before as Hopi. I am positive this is not so. They are more aggressive in their way of conduct than I would be if I were being reborn again and they are truly the heyokas, except that they are in no way sacred. They love to go on 'vision quests' and outings with ones like Sun Bear and run about in their dirty clothes and sit in plastic sweat lodges--they seek entertainment instead of truth.
"When you deal with the human action on the opposite side, well, then you know their spiritual attitude just isn't right. They are too rebellious. But I am trying my best to do what I can to try to help our nation's young people.
"We of the Hopi have our doctrine and complete, full knowledge in our sacred tablets and we have tried to keep ourselves uncontaminated. Some Hopi believe that the Hopi are the only ones who have this knowledge in our souls but that cannot be true because in the ending ALL are ONE and that means that ALL must hold this knowledge at some level, within."
WISDOM IS NOT A SINGULAR POSSESSION, CHELAS.
CYCLES
Civilization on Earth has been cyclical. There have been highly evolved human or hominid cultures before the tradition that led to your current epoch. Glorious times and experiences lie hidden in your forgetting. Entire civilizations attained the apex of cultural accomplishment only to be crushed during their apparent golden days to become, thousands of years later, little more than rumors and twice-told tales. Mighty empires have risen to experience upon the Earth, only to have their vibrant flames snuffed out in global catastrophes. Modern mankind can hardly abide such possibilities in his smug, egotistical little temples of game-playing.
It is good to look unto your native brothers and into their legends which recount the evolution of mankind through a series of world cycles, each of which is destroyed as man forgets the lessons of the Great Spirit and falls away to rely upon his own feeble devices. When this sad state of affairs comes to exist, the Great Spirit causes a time of Great Purification to cleanse the Earth Mother for a new epoch, a new world.
The Hopi traditionalists recite their legends of the Four Worlds and warn of their prophecies, which state that a Great Purification will occur when people turn to material, rather than spiritual, matters; when evil ones set out to destroy the land and the life of the Hopi and other Indian brothers; when leaders of men turn to evil instead of the Great Spirit; when man has invented something which can fall upon the ground, boil everything in a great area and within the seas, and turn the land to ashes where no grass will grow--that which shall fall from the great gourd of ashes.
You are not going to find the traditional practitioners of Medicine Power see this time of cleansing as being synonymous with the biblical "Judgment Day"-- the ringing down of the cosmic curtain with a cataclysmic bang and the attendant weeping and gnashing of teeth. There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is that these blessed ones are always. They are always the first and the last and I do not wish to speak on that at this time. It will be explained in its proper time; we are speaking of cycles.
The Great Purification is a necessary cleansing and a time of transcendence.
Thank you for hearing me, Dharma--I must often test you also, for the legend we were allowing you to put to keys is mistranslated and out of its sequence and we do not honor those who bring forth the sacred legends out of their proper sequence to be tossed carelessly about by man who plays at the games of truth. It is a wondrous and beautiful legend and it has been most carelessly used. Your perception is growing more keenly attuned and I am indeed most pleased. It was a beauteous Indian legend, no more and no less.

(Dharma: I would be most curious about the above if I were a reader, therefore, you should know that I had quoted almost four pages of a lovely Indian story. From the onset I was most uncomfortable about its correctness---as I wrote I became acutely aware of the errors. These things are the very things that allow me to continue to write in the face of the accusations of pilfering and lies generously dumped upon me---I believe that I shall prevail for I have just reason to KNOW THESE WRITINGS COME FROM SOURCES BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION. THEY COME IN GENTLE FORM TO ME BUT SOMETIMES MY ROOM IS FILLED WITH LIGHT UNTIL I MUST WRITE WITH MY EYES CLOSED TO STOP THE POUNDING OF THE LIGHT WITHIN MY HEAD. IF I ERR, I AM STOPPED AND I AM HUMBLY GRATEFUL TO BE ALLOWED TO SHARE THESE MOMENTS OF GREATNESS FOR I KNOW THAT I AM UNDESERVING OF THE HONOR. THERE IS NO WAY TO EXPRESS THE LOVE THAT FLOWS FROM THESE BEINGS THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME A STATEMENT.)
* * *
We have been requested to herein print the "Hopi Prophecies". They have been circulated widely and I have no objection to so-doing. I just request discretion and discernment and keep the above lessons in mind as you read of them. Specific times are no-nos and yet the published papers have years appended so in order to make no comment or verification I shall simply ask Dharma to copy them exactly as presented unto her by outside persons. She has been sent several versions, from notes (out of the "horse's" mouth) to nicely published format--we shall use the printed format for I do not wish to bring energy into play upon the ones who presented these out of their proper sequence.
1980: The year of the creation of the teachings of the Eight Great Powers and the introduction, and the giving back to humanity of the Twenty Count. The Starmaiden Circle and the Flowering Tree Teachings which began the evolution of the distribution of the wheels and keys (the esoteric teachings of the North American Indians) of Turtle Island. It was in that year that the major beginning wheels and keys were given away.
1981: The year of the planting of the light seeds of the Hokseda (the higher self). Many teachers of the Eight Great Powers began to plant their seeds of light about the development of the higher self and began to open the teachings of the Rainbow People also known as the Meti (mixed blood - the Rainbow People).
1982: The year of fertilization, the year of planting, the year of going within these seeds of light in order to see the potentiality, the road map that a person can use. In the Turtle Island lore we say it is the year of finding one's path with heart and many many have done this.
1983: The year of fruition, the year of seeking perfection, growth and development .. Most importantly this is the year of trust and innocence as being totally open, when people are listening and teachers are talking to teachers. When mythologies of the world and all Eight Great Powers are finally revealing secrets and the teachings within the mythologies are brought out into the open. Because of this there was a great deal of joy amongst teachers.
1984: This year is critical, The year of the animal. The year of Tuwalananie, the dark force. The reason for this is that for three years seeds of light have been planted and we are starting to grow and the teachings are starting to come out and all those ones inside each of the Eight Great Powers who have taught partial truths, who have taught deliberate lies in myth, who have used the power of wheels to gain control of people to gain followers to gain disciples, to gain devotees are going to very threatened by the awakening of the consciousness of the Rainbow People because the Rainbow People exist in every country, in every nation, in every land. In other words the Sun Dancers are going to be strong enough. The dark forces will be extremely threatened and they will use their power and their power exists in technology. We are going to see some of the most strong technological advances known to humanity occurring this year and these very technological advances are going to be a tremendous threat as well as a blessing to the survival of humanity. Now what is also a Heyoka (trickster) is that 1984 is also a year that we must establish balance and harmony between the light and the dark forces. It's going to be interesting and that's why we have this sense of urgency because it is getting short.
1985: The year of human to human communication. The year when the human family finally becomes a human. Then there will be more teachers and more teachings brought out to open format than has ever been seen on this planet in the first fifty thousand years. Because then we will re-establish contact in a very knowledgeable way with our ancestors from the stars. The first wave will come from Pleiades and will be totally acknowledged and will be known to all the world powers. The second wave will come from Sirius.
1986: When Tunkashila and the enlightened teachers begin to open the veil of the crack between the worlds. We will see our memory circles. All kivas and sacred power spots will come alive in 1986 and be totally awakened. The inner room of the Great Pyramid will be opened. The order of the Golden Dawn will have ceremonies there again for the first time in 20,000 years. The Temple of the Sun in Palenque will be refurbished, reawakened and ceremonies will be renewed. Many of the ceremonies that are so-called traditionalists, but are trying to keep us locked in the past and will not function today will fall. It will be hard for some of the people of the medicine societies because they don't know any other way.
They're going to have to change or die. Many teachers who have been seen as great teachers, who have literally kept us in the dark as worshippers of the sacrament orders will physically die and go over because it's the only way they can find the light in 1986 and many teachers will be seen for what they were and they will be the farmers, the laborers, and the gas station attendants and they will be seen as the real teachers because of the full awakening.
1987: 144,000 Sun Dance enlightened teachers will totally awaken in their dream mindbodies. They will begin to meet in their own feathered serpent or winged serpent wheels and become a major force of the light to help the rest of humanity to dance their dream awake. A Sun Dance teacher is any human being who has awakened, who has balanced their shields, who has gained the dream mindbody and who honors all paths, all teachers, and all ways.
1988: We will sit in a new circle of law. Civil and social law will tumble. All civil and social laws by whatever governments will have to be in conformity with natural laws or the people will not accept them and they will have the enlightenment necessary to reject the laws.
1989: We will once again see the way to continue a new dream. We will be given the road map back to the stars and we will see the star people come out of the illusion of their two-legged form and into their actual Great Sleeper-Dreamer form. And so you will see some very, very powerful totally enlightened Masters in 1989 and that's the year of the second coming of the Christ spoken of in the Book of Revelations and it will be the awakening of a new circle, a new design of energy movement of humanity. Christ means a circle. So the second coming of the sacred circle is all enlightened humans dancing as one consciousness.
Dharma, stop please. I believe you can perceive as you read that this is quite a lot of the B-word. This was shared with the "New Age" groupies for the thing they dubbed the Harmonic Convergence. I believe you must be able to see that it says naught in actuality. This was one wondrous person giving a rundown of his perceived happenings and it was latched upon like ants upon a candy. A little truth and a lot of interpreted legends which got set into concrete just as did the biblical misgivings. I do not mean to discount the truth within, it is just that I am sure the Hopi would prefer this not be the final version of their wondrous prophecies. So be it. I hope I have not overly disappointed you in not printing of the last decade of the century but my scribe is weary and if you wish the game of hide and seek, go and procure your own multi-interpreted document. I hope that by this time in your lessons, you are learning discernment. So be it and blessings, you need to also have your mystical games to hide the truth which is within.
Let us close this segment for I think we should leave the American Indians for a while and leave this subject to Little Crow.
I take leave in great appreciation. I am Hatonn to clear, please. Salu.
PJ 12CHAPTER 24REC #1 HATONNHatonn present with clearance and prepared to begin. The first thing that we shall put to paper this day is an honor unto the one Gary Smith, who is known about your place as "Windsinger".
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1990 7:15 A.M. YEAR 3, DAY 171
"WINDSINGER"Windsinger, Gary Smith, was a man dear unto your earth family and now fulfilling his service from this dimension for which we rejoice for the beauty of his spirit brings us delight. Windsinger's church temple was the wilderness; the wondrous canyons of the West. Because I must protect the location where our holographs shall be filmed I can say no more. He passed from your place a young man but a very old soul indeed. His music told the stories of that which was and has come to be. We shall use his music and words and here I wish to give him honor for a few that he not be forgotten and forever registered in the pages of our truth.
WINDSINGER
Windsinger, ride! Windsinger, ride! Windsinger ride!
Nit C' Hi Hatatih, Nit C' Hi Hatatilt, ride!
A young Navajo came riding,
While at his back set the bleeding desert sun;
He sought his name upon the mountain,
From the wise man, Nagi-Khan.
Nagi-Khan was such an old man,
And his eyes were filled with silence,
The silence passed from the ages,
When the spirits first walked and breathed upon the land.
The old man smiled at the boy,
And spoke with the strength of ten-thousand desert winds;
"Ride the Four Winds of the mountain;
Wake, and see, and think, and speak---WINDSINGER!"
He was carried to the North from the mountain,
To the land of the Bear, and silent, frozen faces;
The Bear sat and watched the Eagle,
Whose talons had been tangled in the darkness.
The Eagle tried to stretch his wings
And to tear himself free from the darkness;
But his people were all sleeping,
And not one person cared to awake and cut him free.
The boy breathed deeply from the winds,
And sang with words that struck like burning spears!
"Hear your empty lives of deafness!
Awake now! Can't you see the danger?"
He was earned bythe wind to the Southland,
Where the Lion and the Llama crawled on bloated bellies;
Their eyes were only blackened sockets,
And children tried to run while rickets swelled their knees.
The rich would feast and make their speeches;
Tomorrow would bring the needed changes;
But their speeches were all empty,
And the hungry children groaned 'til their parents could not sleep.
Then the groaning changed into a roar,
The roar began to thunder and the winds began to scream:
"Do not let the children suffer!
Make all the people wake and see---Windsinger!"
He was carried to the East across the ocean,
To a place where the Dragon spewed its venom on the land;
He saw the vacant stares of millions,
Hungry stares that held no hope for food in empty hands.
The Dragon crouched before the Eagle,
That had gorged itself on darkness,
That had slept itself to weakness,
In whose eyes grew dim the light that could still make all men free.
The spirits moves upon the Winds,
Till the voices of the ages began to echo in his ears:
"Ride again among your people;
Make them wake, and see, Windsinger!"
Windsinger rode among his people,
Singing in the cities, the suburbs, and the ghettoes;
He sang tohis brothers in the hogans,
In the squalor of the reservations.
But the people would not listen;
And the children danced their frenzied dances,
As the neon whirled, and flashed, and blinded;
And poison-bearing clouds hung like incense in the air.
The boy sang out his broken heart,
Then with sorrow in his eyes he rode slowly to the West.
"Dance while you sleep, my people; .
The songs that I sing have no meaning for your ears."
But as he rode he heard a rumbling,
For a few had woken and turned to raise their faces;
They came forth from the darkened ghettoes,
From the cities, and off the reservations.
A few had stopped to hear the singing;
And awakened from the slumber of the many;
Each one raised a burning spear,
With which to pierce the darkness and let forth the shining light.
The winds begin to move and sing,
Till the valleys echoed with a hundred rolling songs;
The man rode to his sacred mountain,
To wake, and see, and think, and speak.··· Windsinger!
These songs shall be used in SIPAPU ODYSSEY, for this man died of a broken heart---the doctors called it multiple sclerosis; it was a broken heart for no-one would look and see. NOW THEY SHALL SEE AND HEAR AND DANCE, WINDSINGER!
THE RED TAIL
I am the Red Tail
Climbin' and soarin' through your sky,
With the sunset on my feathers,
With your friends, all gettin' high!
Higher than the Red Tail;
Up above me, there is beauty all around.
Out beyond me, there breathes beauty.
Down below me, there grows beauty.
There is beauty all around me!
Learn to see me,
Learn to feel me, like the wind across my wings.
Let my spirit grow within you.
Learn to know me,
Learn to be!
Like the Red Tail;
Catching currents, and rising in the sky,
Out away from all that's ugly,
Breathing freedom from the windstorms,
Growing wise and filled with light!
You can be the Red Tail
A sunrise, a burst of glory in the sky.
You'll know freedom,
You'll know beauty,
You'll find love, and you'll be wise!
Rise with the Red Tail!
Strive to find, all the beauty in your Life.
Like the Red Tail you caught at sunset,
Like the Red Tail of your mind!
I am the Red Tail,
Climbin' and soarin' through your sky,
With the sunset on my feathers,
With your friends all gettin' high . . . all gettin' high
. . .all gettin' high.
BIRDS FLY AROUND HER
(This painting is really "there".)
Deep among the canyon wall, I hiked alone while silence flowed;
In some cool shade I stopped to rest and drink some water.
Looking up, I noticed her, an act of love was painted where
The sandstone face slipped down to meet
--the crumbled ages.
Unknown hands from years gone by, had stopped to rest here,
the same as I;
But with his brush and paints of clay, he left his love here.
A painted girl to greet the dawn.
A crown of white, a feathered gown;
Her smile demure, she waited while
--birds flew around her.
A thousand years this love has grown
and stood the test of wind and storms,
While my love waits beyond these walls,
--birds fly around her.
The canyons grow and canyons die, as sand dissolves behind her
eyes,
Her painted birds will tumble down and join the ages.
The grass turns green and then to brown, a thousand times
before her crown;
Although she's changing, slowly fading
--her love will live here.
So who am I to linger here?
I'm just a flash before her mirror,
A fading whisper who stops to watch
--birds fly around her.
AND HE ASKED THAT WILLY NELSON SING THESE SONGS IN THE BACKDROP OF SIPAPU ODYSSEY! WHO OF YOU WILL GO AND TELL IT UNTO WILLY? WILL YOU TAKE THE SONG, AND STORY AND RIDE---WINDSINGER???
*****
In October of 1986, Windsinger lay dying and Dharma held his hand. He asked only that his songs be honored, for his music was his life. He asked that he go one more time to the canyons where the movie would be filmed and a promise was made, "If I must carry you upon my back---Windsinger." But it was not to be that way. Dharma, Windsinger shall be in the canyon---on that blessed day---for the one, Windsinger, shall be coming there with me! So be it, little eagle.
*****
Let us return, briefly, to the subject of women and God.
At one time there was quite a bit of conflict due to male chauvinism as was rampant in the days of Emmanuel. As an example, at a meeting on one occasion Peter complained quite loudly that Mary was dominating the conversation with Emmanuel and displacing the "rightful" priority of Peter and his brother apostles. He urged Emmanuel to silence her and was quickly rebuked. Later, however, Mary admitted to Emmanuel that she found it difficult to speak freely in front of Peter as he had difficulty accepting teaching or advice from a woman, whereupon, Emmanuel replied that whoever the Spirit inspires is divinely ordained to speak, whether it be man or woman. Yes, Dharma, I thought you might enjoy that message---not that you particularly wish to speak but to allow you ones to realize that your roles are so often in opposition to that which was before that you might more fully understand the lessons. Perhaps Oberli could be a bit more thoughtful of your feelings when he is abrupt, for you are actually given almost no time to converse in your consciousness, with your friends. Ones think, because you write and speak for me in every gathering, that somehow you have participated---I shall one day have to set them to understanding. So be it.
WHAT ABOUT PAUL'S DISDAIN FOR WOMEN?
Oh yes, if you read it you shall see that many things in the Bible are most interesting indeed. I have news for you--many of the letters attributed to St. Paul were, in fact, never written by Paul!
The Bible has been translated about 1600 times, there have been ample opportunities to tamper with, delete and add a bit, here and there, to it; a fact that has been admitted to by theologians for centuries. The pseudo-Paulian letters, often had to do with church organization, rituals, dogmas, and doctrines. It is here that you see Paul's so-called "disdain" for women where he says that women have to be subservient to men, that they have no right to speak, much less teach in the church and lays down the rules for allowing ''widows'' within "after they reach old age".
A scholar has no trouble sorting out these things. These teachings could not have come from Paul as, first, the style of writing is totally unlike Paul's; secondly, in several instances Paul directs certain male seekers to go to certain Christian women, such as Priscilla, for further instruction as these women were highly knowledgeable about God, and thirdly, and most important, St. Paul was a GNOSTIC; he had visions of God--he met Emmanuel after the crucifixion, on the road to Damascus which led to his conversion. In these visions, Paul saw the Oneness of all things in God, and even said, "In Christ, there is neither male or female." So neither sex could be viewed as superior or inferior to the other as you all ("we" all) are ultimately part of the One God!
The Gnostics also taught that God created not "Adam", the man, first and Eve, the woman, second, but human beings of both sexes simultaneously. Indeed, the literal translation of the BOOK OF GENESIS in your HOLY BIBLE quite plainly states that God created '''adham'', the Hebrew word for "human being", NOT "'ish" or "Zakar", the Hebrew for the "male human being". There is even a question as to whether Eve was the first woman (oh yes, in your Bible), because of the references made to a woman named "Lilith" in many creation legends. In these legends, Lilith, the predecessor to Eve, demanded to be viewed as Adam's equal, and was therefore exiled from the Garden of Eden by Adam. Enter Eve and the apple, and soon, Adam himself was thrown out of Eden on his ear! Was it really Eve's fault, or simply Adam's own ego rebounding on him? Do you not see the humor in your fanatical perceptions? There is a tid-bit of humor that occasionally sweeps your land that says, "It was not the apple on the tree that Rot mankind into trouble---it was the pear (pair) on the ground that did you in!"
Furthermore, the Hebrew word used for God in Genesis is "Elohim". This word has been translated as "God" or "He", but its roots are of both masculine and feminine origin, "Eloh"--the feminine singular for "goddess", and the masculine plural ending "im". Perhaps this was Moses' way of intimating the many-sided, all-encompassing aspects of God; i.e., that God is both masculine and feminine, singular and plural and One and above all of the categories and distinctions! Is it possible?
THE GODHEAD'S DUAL NATURE
Gnostic references to the feminine aspects and the masculine/feminine dual nature of the godhead are quite plentiful throughout their teachings. One example of this, which echoes scientists' explanations of the dual aspects of the human brain---and we do like your scientists' opinions inserted if we can use them---the masculine side being the organizer and categorizer and the feminine side being the creator and initiator.
Another interesting bit of information is that John related a mystical vision he had of the Trinity after the crucifixion:
''The heavens were opened and the whole creation which is under heaven shone and the world was shaken. And I was afraid, and I saw a light--a likeness with multiple forms--and the likeness had three forms. He said to me 'John, Jo(h)n, why do you doubt, and why are you afraid? I am the one who is with you forever. I am the father; I am the Mother; I am the Son.'"
Whoops! You mean, Hatonn, that there are even more books? Sorry but quite a few, little sleepy-heads.
In one called the SECRET BOOK, you will find the Hebrew term "ruah", a feminine word, used for "spirit". The Book goes on to describe this divine Mother-Spirit:
"She is the image of the invisible, virginal, perfect spirit. She became the Mother of everything, for She existed before them all, the Mother-Father."
In the GOSPEL TO THE HEBREWS, Emmanuel also speaks of "my Mother, the Spirit", adding that whosoever becomes a true believer in God gains both father and mother for the Spirit "ruah" is "Mother of many".
So perhaps it is not just the arrival of a physical female incarnation of God that the stars foretell; perhaps they also foretell the necessary unfolding of the Mother-Spirit within us all; the birth of the Christ-Consciousness in each and every heart and the realization of your Mother/Father within as well as without; for as Sri Aurobindo has said, "A change of consciousness is the major fact of the next evolutionary transformation."
I would like to interrupt here to respond to Rick in his query regarding a statement I made in answer to an inquiry from him--about the feminine aspect of God. He recalls that I said there was not such a thing. I must be honest, I do not recall the incident; and hopefully, I simply misunderstood the query. The fact remains, however, that I would literally have to answer negatively again for GOD is ONE--NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE AND THEREFORE HAS NO ABSOLUTE FEMININE OR MASCULINE ASPECTS. "HE" is referred to as "He" because man has chosen to set forth your languages to utilize "He" as a reference to "mankind" and because of the role within the universal order---Creator God/Creation Mother.
WHAT OF GOD AS MOTHER?
It is not only the Gnostic Christians who worshipped God as the Mother; religions around the world have recognized and praised not only your heavenly Father, but also God as the Divine Mother and Creator of all life, as well as the seat of creation. Indeed, it is the total lack of feminine references to God that sets apart orthodox Judaism, orthodox Christianity, and orthodox Islam from the rest of the world's religions, whether they be Egyptian or Greek, Babylonian or early Roman, African, North American, or Indian.
In India, the feminine aspect of God has been revered in various forms by both men and women since time immemorial. An example of this type of reverence was illustrated through the life of possibly India s greatest "saint"--Sri Ramakrishna. Sri Ramakrishna (1836-1886) revered and realized God in "Her" feminine form as the Mother--Kali. His closeness to God was so great, especially in Her feminine form, that he could invoke Her to appear physically, even in front of others. This is most surely called "thought manifestation" whereby he could present his image into your vision. These ones who can do this are far advanced indeed but it is a feat which can be done by any of you---YOU simply do not believe you can do and therefore, you do not.
It was, and is, believed that there are five stages in the Path of Divine Love of God as follows:
1) Man is "fearful" and needs help.
2) He sees God as Father.
3) He sees God as Mother. (And it is only from this stage that real love begins, for only then does it become intimate and fearless.)
4) He loves for the sake of love--beyond all other qualities and beyond good and evil. Or, the distinctions of Mother and Father, or any other dualities.
5) He realizes love in Divine union, UNITY.
Note that those who have had death experiences relate that when the physical body is dropped, so are all societal "masks". In other words, all distinctions of class, caste, race, nationality, or sex--all worldly dualities--disappear; there is no longer any identification with the body physical, and, therefore, these worldly categories no longer exist or have meaning. It should also be mentioned here that these death experiences cut across all cultural and religious lines; in other words, they are the same regardless of the race, creed, color, sex, or nationality of the person who "died". Both North Americans and Asian Indians have reported the same basic elements of the death experience.
Similarly, though the Being of Light had a definite personality, as well as a great sense of humor, "It" was not seen to have any particular sex, either. Though many identified It with various religious names depending on the individual's religious background, the Being Itself never gave Its name or any other label. It was beyond these dualities; It was instead, Divine Love--pure love for the sake of love without any limitations or conditions.
THREE ASPECTS OF THE GODHEAD REALIZED
Realizing there is but ONE, let us, however, understand wherefrom comes the concept of various aspects.
Sri Ramakrishna was brought to the ocean of God's Bliss often through Love of God as the Mother. But he also experienced and realized God in His masculine form: as Allah, the Islamic God, and as Christ. In both cases, Ramakrishna threw himself into the teachings of each religion. In the case of Islam, he repeated the name of Allah and even wore the robes of a Mussulman. Eventually, he had a visual materialization of the Islamic ideal--the Prophet. Ramakrishna merged with him and, was once again, though by a different river, brought back to the ocean of God's Bliss.
His experience with Christ happened seven years later occurring soon after the Bible was first read to him.
"One day when he, Ramakrishna, was sitting in the room of a friend, a rich Hindu, he saw on the wall a picture representing the Madonna and Child. The figures became alive--the holy visions came close to him and entered into him so that his whole being was impregnated with them--the inflowing covered his entire soul, breaking down all barriers. The spirit of the Hindu was changed. He had no room for anything but Christian love. Then one afternoon in the grove of Dakshineswar, Ramakrishna's temple, he saw coming towards him a person with beautiful large eyes, a serene regard and a fair skin. Although he did not know who it was, he succumbed to the charm of his unknown guest. He drew near and a voice sang in the depths of Ramakrishna's soul:
"Behold the Christ, who shed His heart's blood for the redemption of the world, who suffered a sea of anguish for love of men. It is He, the master Yogi, who is in eternal union with God. It is Jesus, Love incarnate.'
"The Son of Man embraced the seer of India, the Son of the Mother, and absorbed him into Himself. Ramakrishna was lost in ecstasy. Once again he realized union with Brahman (God). In his room amongst his Divine pictures was one of the Christ, and he burnt incense before it morning and evening. Later it came to pass that Indian Christians recognized in him a direct manifestation of the Christ and went into ecstasy before him. But, for him, Christ was not the only Incarnation. Buddha and Krishna were others." Which, of course, brings us right down to the question of Avatars and we have already touched on that subject in a prior chapter.
WHAT OF MIRACLES?
Earth man wants miracles by the bushel, proof by the pound and signs signs, signs! So be It.
The Lord as a child performed many miracles. Most of Emmanuel's childhood miracles have been taken out of the Bible and it is most sad indeed. But you can find records of them in other books, including one called THE LOST BOOKS OF THE BIBLE. Many of these miracles had to do with healings and the transformation of matter.
In several cases, the Lord, through His example, stressed the need for solitude and silence, which is why all of the "avatars" spent so much time in the forest. All were tested by the temptations of life--lust, power, greed--as with Jesus' forty days in the wilderness, but all came through the tests without a single fault. Lord Buddha's words to Mara, the temptress (what you nice people would call the "Devil") are strikingly similar to Jesus' during His forty-day fast. When tempted by Mara with food during His own fast, Lord Buddha said: "O thou friend of the indolent, thou wicked one; for what purpose hast thou come? Let the flesh waste away, if but the mind becomes more tranquil and attention more steadfast (so that it may better concentrate on the Lord)."
Why would we not send Dharma into the desert for forty days and make her fast? Sic, sic, you ones who ponder such a thing---would that truly make you "finally" believe in these words? Of course not and further, she is no avatar and no channel---she is a scribe, To send her to the desert without food and drink for forty days would but make her mad and then all of you would surely have something with which to discount this work. If you ones do not get busy and pay attention to these writings YOU ALL ARE GOING TO END UP MORE THAN ANY FORTY DAYS WITHOUT DWELLING, FOOD AND DRINK! SO BE IT---BETTER YE PONDER UPON THAT POINT INSTEAD OF DHARMA'S INTENT. WE SHALL TEND OF DHARMA!
Jesus said: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." Let it be understood, that neither can the human, unprepared and unlighted, live without bread and sustenance.
Guru Nanak, too, was tested by the passions of evil, but said in response: "What does it matter if I become a king, and command mighty armies, and occupy a golden throne, and like the wind my commands encompass the earth? If exercise supernatural powers and can create wealth at a gesture, can appear and disappear at will and thus win popular respect, these delude fools only who have not Him in their hearts."
Jesus Christ came from the tomb and raised up after some three days. This was actually from "death" but not as you ones can perceive it. Guru Nanak, too, was resurrected from the "dead" after three days. He had walked into a lake in front of many people and completely disappeared into it. His family and others searched for His body in vain. Three days later, He reappeared with a luminous glow around Him and pronounced the first principle of His faith.
"There is but one God, Truth is His Name. Maker of all things, free of fear and hate, timeless, birthless, self-existent known by the grace of the Guru (meaning: Spiritual Teacher or Guide). Meditate on the True Name.
"He who has arranged this play of the Universe, this material world, in various forms and hues, He shall never pass away. He enjoys the sight of His own, artistry, to His own Eternal Glory. He is the All-powerful, subject to no other command. He is the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings, all live under His will.
"You are all wisdom, omniscient, deeper than the oceans. You are everywhere, wherever I look, there You are. Separated from you, like a fish I die. All acts are performed in His presence. He sees all.
"You are near, You are far, You are All in All, You see, You hear, You create this Universe; what pleases You, that is the only right actions."
Now that we come back again unto labels, let me refresh you: ''Then I saw heaven opened and a white horse standing there; and the one sitting on the horse was named 'Faithful and True'---the one who justly punishes and makes war. His eyes were like flames, and on his head were many crowns. A name was written on his forehead, and only he knew its meaning (brothers, the name was God, Sananda!). He was clothed with garments dipped in blood, and his "title" THE WORD OF GOD. The armies of heaven, dressed in finest linen, white and clean, followed him on white horses.
"In his mouth he held a sharp sword to strike down the nations; he ruled them with an iron grip; and he trod the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God. On his robe and thigh was written this title: 'KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS'." So be it, chelas, for thy days are numbered upon thy place!
As with the Lord Emmanuel, Guru Nanak and Lord Krishna (among others) disappeared from your earth without leaving any physical body behind. This was in great measure so that you blind little lambs would not worship a fleshly chunk of nothing but understand the life eternal. Oh how wondrous if you all could have but understood of the message.
A Lord or God among you, can be recognized in many ways---but the same "ways" can also be "ways" of those who have simply purified themselves and come into knowledge. But a great spiritual teacher can be recognized by His or Her actions, and that He/She possesses divine powers. That one will have total control over the five functions of the body, speaking, eating, reproduction, elimination, and motion, over the five senses of taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing, and over the five elements of Nature as earth, air, water, fire, and ether. Great spiritual ones can often attain one or several of these powers or qualities--kalas--but only an avatar possesses them all, including the last and most important one--omniscience, or all-knowledge of the past, present, and future. True "avatars" are rare indeed, my friends, and a lot of you have been completely fooled by facades that hide the few unaccomplished feats of great spiritual teachers. Many "bodies" have been buried in the night and in the secret hours and places, to not blemish the concept of the credit of "avatar". Be not too gullible at the tales of ones ascending from hither and yon for it is most rare indeed and NO, I shall not enlarge upon that topic at this time. THESE ARE LESSONS TO CAUSE YOU TO STOP DIVIDING THE HOUSES OF GOD AND STOP CLINGING UNTO YOUR SPECIAL "AVATARS" AND DOCTRINES BUILT UPON OTHER THAN GOD. FOR AFTER ALL AVATAR IS GOD AMONG YOU!
The powers given above are indeed totally natural and normal to an avatar and are used in a spontaneous manner; they are not the result of time and discipline, as is the case with ordinary human beings who "grow". An avatar is "born with these powers"; this is why the avatars are able to perform miracles as wee children. This does not mean that they necessarily do so for most will not for their purpose is to relate to you as human and allow you to experience and know that what they can do, so can you. All of the miracles that each avatar performs are a result of their inborn, natural powers and are never used in carelessness.
Let us leave this for a while, Dharma. We can further discuss powers over the elements, matter and body at our next sitting. Thank you.
Hatonn to stand-by. Salu and blessings upon you dear ones.
