Global Moccasin Ceremony dyarrow share 11:04 PM May 28, 1996 (at igc.apc.org) From: "David Yarrow" GLOBAL MOCCASIN CEREMONY Summer Solstice, June 21, 1996, Mt. Fuji, Japan (June 20 in the U.S.A.) prepared by Roy Steevenz [Editor's Preface: May 14,1996 three essays arrived from Roy Steevenz, who has lived with Hopi Indians in northeast Arizona's Painted Desert for nearly a decade, caring for Titus, a traditional elder and farmer in the village Hotevilla. I quickly realized the timely significance and urgency of Roy's messages, so I set them to digital format.] [I have five earlier essays about Roy, Titus and the Hopi (Journey for Health & Peace; Tuuwaqaatsi; Affidavit of Sovereignty Under Creator's Law; and Restoring the Roots of Peace; Gourd of Ashes/House of Mica). These documents, each about one page, provide background crucial to understand this story and ceremony. Access these documents at:] [Global Moccasin Ceremony is synchronous with World Peace and Prayer Day called by Lakota Chief Arvol Looking Horse, 19th generation keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Woman Pipe. All over Earth humans are preparing to gather June 21_solstice high-light of the year_at sacred sites to pray for Peace: healing and unity of our planet at this "turning point."] [Roy's story reveals how tightly woven are the threads of human destiny on Earth at this time. Birth of the white buffalo calf was not mere remarkable genetic coincidence, but expresses the synchronous unity of Spirit and Destiny weaving a warning we now have entered a crucial time. The time of choice and change is now. Roy's vision offers medicine to unify minds, cultures, continents, and spirits of our planet. Join us to unite together in prayer at the solstice. -- david yarrow] THE DESTINY OF TITUS QOMAYUMPTEWA The great wish of Titus Qomayumptewa, a Hopi elder, was like so many who wish to live freely free and happy -- that anyone who truly wants to be a servant of the Creator of All -- God -- attain Individual Sovereignty under His law. "Shake the anthill (world). Tell the world the truth about Creator's Law," he often said. This Global Moccasin Ceremony is inspired by this simple Hopi farmer. As we look about our 'anthill,' how can we deny the need to fulfill this honest desire? Titus -- one of the Jewels of the few remaining Hopis -- had a most important spiritual destiny. At the time of the lunar eclipse on May 24, 1994, Great Spirit visited Titus In his cabin. While the sun was setting, the cabin became filled with sparkling lights. The little stars finally settled around his head. On that evening a profound message came through: "THE TIME IS UPON US NOW to come forth and give our knowledge to those willing to help the energies of the Creator. "The path has been constructed of many different energies and elements were placed together lovingly and with much hardship at the time. We transformed our nation many times because we were learning about our new home. We had to change with Earth as she guided us in our lifestyles and foods. We gave ourselves to Creator, who gave back with abundance. "The path now is one of change. We are here in strength to help make that change smooth and peaceful, and assure its energies are pure, and its meanings are true. There have been -- and will be again -- great times of despair at the loss of culture, as those who resist change fight to hold on. "THE HOPI WAY WILL NEVER VANISH. It may undergo change now and then, which is important, but the Hopi Way remains in the land, rocks, trees, animals, and all features of true creation. They all tell the story of the Hopi. "It is not limited to the Hopis either. The chance to change is everywhere now. Many avenues of discovery lead to the same conclusion. You will need to bridge the gap between worlds and cultures to listen to us. We are ever strong, waiting to guide you. "The Hopi culture as it was is gone, but there are many wonderful things that can be created from that. Listen to the wind for direction. Ask the fields for assistance. Feel the beating of the Hopi heart in everything you do, everything you feel, everything you touch, everything you say. You can have the magic we once shared. It is still there and always will be. "Be peaceful and trusting in your endeavors. We fought for many years to have peace for our people. We presented ourselves to many who are able to maintain, and carry forth into the lives of people, the peace we fought for. The history of our civilization is written in Earth, and anyone who gives themselves to Creator can use this knowledge for Earth and her evolution. "We commend and comfort those who are powerful in their work to reunite, and we support and guide those wanting to make peaceful changes. There are several in your community who are holders of the knowledge. They are able to bring forth the message you strive for. They will surface at the right time. "Be not afraid of the future outcome. Focus only on what can be achieved right now. Fighting between nations will need to stop before order can be restored. "The beginning of the next phase will come in three cycles of the moon. You will have new direction, new focus and new guidance. Be at peace with yourself and listen to our calling. The course is changing and the path is widening. There is much global concern for the return to purity, and the time is upon us to help activate the energy that can bring this return. "You will see changes in the community, the people you meet, and in the children. They may be confused at times as to why they feel a certain way, and want to know their history. Let them experience this, for they will be the ones who help bring forth the new Hopi light. "Be patient, but be strong. Guide and assist those who chose to help. "KNOW WE ARE WITH YOU." Exactly three moon cycles later, a man in Maine had a serious dream. In the vision he went to the underworld and heard an old man singing a most sacred, ancient song. Halfway through singing it, the old man suddenly stopped, but Rusty (the dreamer) heard the rest of the song. When he woke up he felt a strong desire to find the old man and give him the last part of the song. He wondered who the old man was. How would he find him? Does he even exist? Rusty consulted with a seer and was told to find Titus in Hopiland. Without hesitation he made the drive west, and was guided straight to Titus' farm. Upon arriving, Rusty conveyed his dream to Titus and delivered the rest of the song. Titus smiled and nodded happily. Indeed, four years earlier, at a Hotevilla meeting full of conflict between "progressives" and "traditionals," Titus, at the beginning of the meeting, began to sing. All Hopis present became panicked and urged Titus to stop singing. It was the long-awaited Purification Song that calls on Higher Forces, and is meant to be sung only once. "Stop singing Titus! It is not time yet. Stop. Stop. Stop!" But he didn't heed, and kept on until he was halfway through the song. Suddenly he stopped. On August 22, 1994, at the full moon, the Purification Song became complete. At almost the same time the long-prophesied White Buffalo was born! STORY OF WHITE BUFFALO CALF WOMAN The medicine man Crow Dog, of the Lakota tribe, explains: "This holy woman brought the sacred buffalo calf pipe to the Lakota. Before she came, people didn't know how to live. They knew nothing. The White Buffalo Woman put her sacred mind into their minds. "Though she first appeared to the Lakota in human form, White Buffalo Woman was also a Buffalo -- the native people's brother, who gave its flesh so that the people might live. "White Buffalo Woman spoke these words to Lakota Chief Standing Hollow Horn: 'Remember this pipe is very sacred. Respect it and it will take you to the end of the road. The four ages of creation are in me; I am the four ages. I will come to you in every generation cycle. I shall come back to you.' "The White Buffalo Woman walked off in the direction from which she came, outlined against the red ball of the setting sun. As she went, she stopped and rolled over four times. The first time she turned into a black buffalo; the second into a brown one; the third into a red one. Finally, the fourth time she rolled over, she turned into a white female buffalo calf. "WHITE BUFFALO CALF WOMAN IS THE RETURN OF PEACE -- OF ALL FOUR RACES COMING TOGETHER -- TO MEND THE SACRED HOOP -- ENDING SEPARATION AND POLARIZATION. SHE IS THE RAINBOW MANIFEST..." THE LEGACY OF TITUS Titus fulfilled his destiny and passed on one month later -- Sept. 28, 1994, the birthday of Grandmother Caroline, Titus' very close clan sister. The next day a river of cotton clouds came from the direction of the sacred San Francisco Peaks to stream light over Titus' grave, moving to the East. At the same time, with the rising sun, a small cloud rose over the horizon and joined the oncoming clouds. The fourth day after Titus' departure to the spirit world, Rusty had a Stone Lodge Ceremony at his home in Maine. He didn't know yet of Titus' passing, but he noticed something very strange and powerful happen during the ceremony. The gourd rattle given him by Titus suddenly moved over the hot stones and kept rattling -- and not by any physical hand. It rattled until the contents broke out. The next day after the lodge was dismantled, three waves of seven hawks each flew over the lodge in the southwest direction! Later, a special four-day ceremony was held at Titus' cabin. It was decided to use his moccasins in an East/West Union Ceremony. One moccasin was to be placed at Mt. Fuji, Japan. The day of the prophesied Atlantic/Pacific Cross America Walk, confirmation was given the moccasin found its destiny on Mt. Fuji. Now connection of "extreme West" and "extreme East" must be advanced. Global participation in this is of great importance. East relates to the ancient past; West relates to the present modern world. Now is the time to end the great experiment that encompassed these two worlds. And the RETURN must be undertaken. This means the East/West Union is of cardinal importance. It is bringing together all that has been learned throughout history up to this time from both "extremes." Titus' encouragement to "tell the truth about Creator's Law to the world" held a simple -- but most essential -- message for peace and freedom. Deviation from the Self-Enforcing Law of the Creator has led to creation of artificial laws. These ultimately have to be enforced with violence. All wars, inner and outer, can end only by RETURN to the One Law. All terrorism is the result of one's obedience to secondary inferior authority. Today's destructive wars reflect competition between parties who each insist their laws are superior. This arrogance has led to massive slaughter and great unhappiness. The world is come to the concluding moments of this prophetic scenario. Each one of us must now make The Choice. Which authority do we want to honor first? We cannot serve two masters. We all know the Creator of All is Highest. Only our blindness caused by the glitter of temporary security and pleasures make us falter and sheepishly follow false leaders. Now we have Democracy, so each one of us must individually and independently decide which master we will serve. The Creator of All gave us ultimate authority to make choices based on Free Will. Will we continue to defend the "Common Boundaries" set by mine/yours laws? As long as we support this dualism, we will torture and destroy ourselves. Or will we choose to have the courage to stand as true individuals, sovereign under Creator's Law? This should not be too much to ask of ourselves if we want to know the truth of who we are. TRUTH WILL SET US FREE.
