From Hopi Elders in Oraibi, to all

Today I received a reminder of something I have seen before, but which permeates more deeply because of my recent visit to Oraibi. To me there is similar music in both Hopi and ho'oponopono wisdom -- maybe others will hear it too.

Thanks to Dr. Dan Benor of Wholistic Healing Research for his email containing the following:

Wisdom from the Elders of the Hopi Nation
as we cross the threshold into a cycle of our journey of awakening.

"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~
