Speaking to the United Nations, Hopi Elder Thomas Banyacya said, “If you, the nations of this Earth, create another great war, the Hopi believe we humans will burn ourselves to death with ashes.” They believe that gourd of ashes refers to the atomic and nuclear bombs. Hopi prophecy foretold that the white people would bring the “gourd of ashes” that would create great destruction and loss of human life upon the earth. If we continue in the direction we are currently headed, we may well destroy much of the life of earth and make it, for our descendents, more of a trash heap than a lovely place to live. One wonders, however, if there might be some effective way to accelerate the maturation process of the nations and governments of our planet.

Your vision will assist all of us to grow up in consciousness. Remember, what you visualise and expect has a powerful effect upon the world you experience. It’s important that each one of us conceive of ourselves, of all of humanity, as a species emerging from its childhood and moving toward more mutually supportive, adult behaviour. Nations, like children (and adults!), still need to learn caring adult behaviour. They are like children playing, harsh and brutal at times but capable of social evolution. They are not evil, just immature and not yet well educated.

When considering current (and past) events, it’s quite important that we do not judge the behaviour of our nations too harshly.
