霍比預言(一)人類的選擇是否是末日或新時代的兩條路

霍比部落是一個古老的印第安部落。他們的祖先大約在5千到1萬年前從墨西哥遷移到亞力桑那州。目前,霍比族主要生活在亞力桑那州北部的霍比保留地(Hopi Re-servation)。「霍比」的原意是「和平的人民」(People of Peace)。霍比保留地附近 有十二個村莊。其中十個村莊對非印第安人的大眾開放。
霍比族是一個有悠久的信仰傳統的民族,他們一年四季都舉行不同的宗教聖典。他們從祖先那裡流傳下來許多關於人類的起源,歷史及未來的預言。約在50年代有人把它第一次用英語公佈於世,很多關於歷史如前兩次世界大戰的預言都很準確。
霍比族認為,我們人類已經過了四次不同的文明交替,其有關人類起源的傳說, 和西方《聖經》中的說法有類似之處。大體講起來是這樣的:世界本來只是無終止的空間,沒有頭尾,沒有時間,沒有生命。造物主(Taiowa the Creator)首先造了 Sotuknang(一個神,被稱為造物主的侄兒),Sotuknang 在造物主的指導下創造了各種 固態物質,七個宇宙,水和空氣。之後,Sotuknang 又造了Spider Woman. 用泥土造 了四種不同膚色(黃,紅,白,黑)的人。Sotuknang給了這四種不同膚色人智慧,再生能力,和不同的語言,並讓他們去不同的方向遷移,生活。Sotuknang 告訴他們: 「我給你們這一切,就是讓你們幸福生活。但有一個要求:你們在任何時候都要尊敬造物主。尊敬造就你們的造物主博愛。只要你們活著,就別忘了這些。」這些人被稱為第一(批)人 (The First People). 他們所居住的世界被稱為第一世界 (The First World).
後來,第一批人(The First People)中有好多人忘記了Sotuknang的教誨,而不 再尊敬造物主了。這樣以來,第一世界(The First World)最後就被大火毀滅了。有一 部分道德高尚的人倖存下來,進入了第二世界(The Second World)。儘管第二世界不 如第一世界美好,但第二世界還是很美好的。這時期人類向四面八方迅速繁衍。人們經常歌頌造物主。
漸漸的,人們的私慾越來越大,他們居然又忘了歌頌造物主。不久,第二世界就被造物主用冰凍毀掉了。造物主又造了第三世界(The Third World). 從第二世界幸 存下來的人就在第三世界裡生活,繁衍後代。
最後,人們的道德又下滑了。人們把自己的創造力用在了邪惡的方面。從而導致第三世界被大洪水毀掉。倖存者進入了第四世界(The Fourth World). 這些倖存者就 是我們現在的這次人類文明。
上次人類文明被淘汰的主要原因是人類的腐敗,私心變重,和不相信偉大神靈的教誨。霍比族認為,上次大洪水幾乎淹沒了所有人類。只有少數幾個相信偉大神靈的人活了下來。偉大神靈告誡他們要堅信偉大神靈的教誨。霍比族和這位偉大神靈曾立下神聖的誓約:我們永遠遵照你的教導去做。對於霍比族而言,造物主的天法是永恆不變的。
下面就讓我們來看一看霍比人的許多具體論述。
地水火風與四色人種本同源
──1986年北美印第安人本土研討會議節選
霍比文化所以涉及歷史的淵源很深。其有關地、水、火、風的論述時期甚至比佛教徒所知道的四大(地、水、火、風)提出的時間要早得多,而人類起源於同一膚色的講法更超越了現代的歷史認識和一般宗教的理解。本文節選自:「Talk Given by Lee Brown in 1986 Continental Indigenous Council」。雖攙入了許多個人認識,但還 是可以依稀看到霍比神喻的原意。霍比民族在北美大陸的歷史有多久遠還無人能知,據說他們的預言石刻經測定有50000年的歷史,當然碳14的測定方法也並不很可靠。請看譯文:
「礦物質,岩石有一個循環週期,植物也有。而我們現在正處在動物循環週期的結束和人類新一輪循環週期的開始。 」
「當我們進入這一輪人類的輪迴,我們與身俱有的偉大的潛能將從我們的光與靈中釋放出來。但是我們現在正接近這一輪動物輪迴週期的結束,我們知道了動物在地球是怎麼回事。 」
「很久以前,在此次循環週期的開始,偉大的神靈降臨到地球,他召集人們到一個現在已沉入海底的島上,他對人類說,我要把你們送到四個方向,並逐漸地使你們的膚色變成四種顏色,我要給你們一些教導,你們將稱它是上天的訓示,當你們再次相聚時,你們要分享這些教導,以使你們能和睦地生活在地球上,這將是人類文明的開始。」
他接著說,「在此次循環裡,我將給你們每一方向上的人種兩個石刻,你們不得把它丟棄,否則,不僅僅是人類將承受很大的磨難,整個地球將會消亡。」
「他給每一方向的人類一個職責,我們把它叫做『守護者』。 」
「對印地安人,也就是紅色人種,他讓他們作為土地的守護者,他們要去領悟大地的知識,植物從土地裡生長結果,供應人類的食品,草藥可以用來治病。我們把這些知識同時與其它兄弟姐妹分享。」
「對於南方的黃色人種,他們將做為風的守護者,他們將去領悟天空和呼吸,他們在這時將分享這些。 」
「對於西方的黑色人種,他們將做為水的守護者,他們將去學習萬物之首,水的啟示,他們是最卑賤的,也是最強大的。 」
「對於北方的白色人種,他們將做為火的守護者,如果你去看,他們做的許多事的核心,你會發現那裡有火。你可以說,電燈泡就是白人的火。汽車裡有火花塞,同樣,你會在飛機和火車裡找到火。火會燃燒和移動,這就是為什麼白人最先在地球上遷移,使得我們聯合成為一個大家庭。」
「很長時間過去了,偉大的神給每一個人種兩塊石刻,我們印地安人把它們保存在亞利桑那州的霍畢保留地的一個聳立的高台之上。」
「預言石」的故事
在美國亞利桑那州Oraibi附近,有一塊被稱為"預言石"的石刻(如上圖),所刻畫的內容以象徵手法表達了許多霍比部落據說已有上萬年歷史的古老預言。他們沒有用文字,而附近,有一塊被稱為"預言石"的石刻,所刻畫的內容以象徵手法表達了許多霍比部落據說已有上萬年歷史的古老預言。他們沒有用文字,而是代代口述相傳。由於年代久遠,很難有人能對圖中最左邊的放射光明的圓圈及中間的、符號(形同佛家萬字符)做出恰當解釋。有些相關介紹甚至將其去掉,只解釋中間部份。據我一位朋友介紹,他在西亞圖的華盛頓大學讀心理學課程時,曾學習過此圖,並一眼指出左邊的大人是高級生命─GreatSpirit,可見其影響。從印第安語至英語的翻譯過程可能是目前有關霍比預言的書及網上資料在某些細節上有出入的一個原因,加之年代久遠,代代相傳,即便今天的許多印第安人也已經不能理解,甚至不能相信這些預言。
現在我們將以往對預言石的破解綜述如下,僅供參考。
一種簡明清楚的解釋如下:左邊的大人象徵偉大的高級生命(Great Spirit)手指 此預言,兩條水平線指兩條不同的發展路線:上邊的線象徵沒有精神約束平衡的科技之路,下邊的線象徵精神之路。
有三條豎線,第一條是此預言的開始時間;第二條表示某個時間人類將決定走哪條路,實證科學之路還是精神之路;下面的在線的兩個圓圈象徵兩次世界大戰。最後一條粗的豎線是最後一條決定走哪條路的時間,也就是今天。如果選擇物質之路,結果將曲折而至毀滅。而如果選擇精神之路,結果將和平而和諧。
另一種解釋是:左邊的大人是偉大的高級生命(Great Spirit),他左手上的碗代 表他對霍比部落要放下武器的訓導,高級生命右邊的豎線象徵以成千上萬年為計的時間比例,在線高級生命所觸的一點是他將回來的時間。
高級生命所開闢的生命之路分為下面的窄些的與自然和諧融洽的連續生命之路,和寬些的上面一條白人的科技成果之路。十字之上,兩條路之間的豎線指白人的到來,十字是基督教義,十字下的小圓圈代表連續不滅的生命循環。(筆者認為圓圈都應指生命的更新與淘汰,則此小圓圈似應指本次文明開始時的一次人類淘汰,或大洪水。)
上面一條路的四個小人代表(一層含義是)過去的三個世界和現在;另一層含義是,這表明部份霍比部落的人將受白人表面文明的誘惑而走向白人的道路。
下面這條生命之路上的兩個圓圈是"高級生命之手在撼搖整個地球"(第一次世界大戰和第二次世界大戰)。圖最左邊太陽之中的Swastika(與古老的佛家符號相同,佛家中用黃色;與納粹符號轉向相反,納粹用黑色)和圖最右邊的Celtic Cross(據說此 標誌為基督教義所用,用紅色;亦為納粹所用,用黑色)象徵著Pahana的兩個幫助者, Pahana是印第安人的真正的白色兄弟,另有文章寫作Bahani,意為Baha的人,ni在 印第安語中義為「的人」,兩種英語拼寫應來源於同一印語)。
兩條生命路線之間的第三條粗豎線代表人類在科技之路走向曲折之前返回自然的最後一次機會。隨後的小圓圈即是霍比人所說的「生命大淘汰更新期(Great Purifi-cation)",也就是現在。再之後穀物繁榮生長,高級生命重回地球。生命之路永恆不滅。
霍比預言(二) -- 第三次世界大戰
當「Kachina」在廣場一曲舞中,在無動於衷的孩子(大眾)面前摘下面具之時,霍比的一切儀式與慶典都將結束。一段日子裡將沒有任何儀式,不再有任何信仰。然後「Oraibi」(霍比部落在亞力桑那州的住地)將再度繁榮,忠實的信仰與慶典,標誌了霍比新一輪生命的開始。
在其它一些古老的國家(如印度,中國),會有一些將光(神聖智能)暴露於世的人引發第三次世界大戰。
此戰爭將是「一場精神信仰與物質追求的衝突,物慾的一方將被有信仰追求的人們所摧毀,他們將留下來創造一個世界,在一個權力下的一個國家,這一個權力將直屬造物主(Creator)。」
美國,土地與人民,會被原子彈與輻射摧毀。只有霍比部落和他們的家園會留存下來,作為避難者的綠州。原子彈避難所不會有益,「只有追求物質的人才會去尋求避難所。內心平靜的人已經得到了整個生命的最大庇護。沒有給邪惡的庇護所。在整個世界被各種新潮意識搞的分崩離析的過程中,那些沒有參與的人們將在另一世界中再生,不管他們是黑,是白,是紅,還是黃種人。他們都是一種人,是兄弟。
時間並不遠。當Saquasohuh(蘭星)Kachina在舞中揭去面具時就會來臨。他代表了一顆蘭星,還看不到,很快就會出現。此時間可由Wuwuchim 慶典中唱的一首歌預知。此歌1914年第一次世界大戰前唱了,1940年第二次世界大戰前又唱了。這首歌描述了分裂,腐敗,和污染了霍比部落儀式的仇恨情緒,而整個世界也正瀰漫著同樣的邪惡。這首歌在1961年Wuwuchim慶典也唱了。

Hopi Elders Say Earth Changes Are Upon Us by Simon Hunt During the past week there have been a few events that deserve our attention, thought, and examination. In an unprecedented and totally unexpected way, Hopi Elders for the first time in history have openly shared their sacred, and heretofore secret prophecies with the world. Robert Ghost Wolf, noted Native American Prophet and author arranged for two Hopi Elders to appear for three hours on the nationally aired Art Bell show (out of Pahrump, NV) and freely discuss their sacred, and heretofore secret prophecies. It has been said by many who have had limited access to the prophecies in the past, that the Hopi prophecies of the coming earth changes are among the most ancient and accurate available. The Elders have come forth at this time because they believe that we have passed the point of no return and major changes are imminent, beginning within the next few months. It is their hope to 「soften」 the effects by appealing to all to return to a simpler, more spiritual way of life. Last month at Spiritual Endeavors (and returning again this coming month) noted author, environmentalist, and channeler, Rev. Fred Sterling carried much the same message. Rev. Sterling emphasized that "The Great Shift" has already begun. It is happening now. In other related recent events, Gordon Michael Scallion, Robert Ghost Wolf, and other modern day prophets began predicting major Earth Changes, especially noticeable in the state of California among other places, beginning this summer. And now the Hopi Elders have gone on national radio with the same message. So, the Earth is changing? The Great Shift is upon us? What is one to do? I offer the following in reply. First of all, if you are in denial - get over it. Open up your eyes. Take a look around. How's the weather in your neck of the woods? Perhaps it's a little different than it's ever been for your locality? Try to find out what's really going on. You wont find out by watching Hard Copy, or even the Evening News. You'll have to get away from the latest political scandal of who is sleeping with whom and dig just a little deeper to find the things of real importance. Did you know that tornadoes have been spotted, for the first time in history, that are spinning the wrong way? Did you know that there are places in Mexico where the ground temperature is heating up in excess of 200 degrees? Did you know that during a seven day period in early June there were 772 earthquakes recorded on the California - Nevada border near Mammoth Lake? (Gordon Michele Scallion and others are predicting a volcanic eruption there this summer.) Did you know that on May 31st, the jet stream (an extremely fast wind current that flows through the upper atmosphere) touched ground for the first time in recorded history? Did you know that all over North America, migratory birds have stopped returning to their nesting grounds? And that salmon are no longer returning to their spawning grounds? And indigenous tribes throughout the world have stopped having children? Okay, so much for denial. Once you accept that change is happening, LET GO OF FEAR. Realize that it is a time of change and not necessarily a time of fear. Fear clouds good judgement and put heavy blocks between the inner intuition, which will be so important during this time, and your conscious mind. The earth changing will not kill you; it changes all the time! But fear, denial, and not being open to your Inner Self and your intuition may. Once accepted, and FEAR IS NOT AN ISSUE, investigate. Learn all you can about what is happening. The Internet can be an invaluable tool here. For the price of a VCR you can now interact with the world on intimate terms from your living room or office. Through the Internet, you』ll be able to discover what you』ll never hear on the six o』clock news. You will no longer be at the mercy of news programs governed and determined by entertainment ratings. If your means can』t afford Internet access, they can surely afford the radio. But you'll have to twist that dial off the music stations. Talk radio is a good place to begin. Art Bell's Coast To Coast A.M. originates locally and is broadcast nationally. Guests as well as callers will keep you informed of things that you'll never hear on the television. Another locally produced radio program, Patte Purcell's Next Dimension is currently going into national syndication with a similar venue. Turning off the tube and turning on the transistor can open many new paths to information. And if your means are truly meager, a bus trip to the library will be within your reach. Aside from Internet access, videos, and taped radio programs, libraries have plenty of recent magazines and books. A word of caution may be helpful when you begin your investigating. When one steps out from under the umbrella of mainstream media and begins to learn what is really happening in the world, there is often the tendency towards anger. 「Why hasn』t anyone told me this before?」 「Why isn』t this on the News?」 「There』s a conspiracy going on to keep us in the dark!」 My advise here is to let it pass. Finding out who』s responsible and the inner workings of the government or large conglomerate corporations is a tangent that will not only waist time, but probably lead you into deeper anger and fear and further away from love and truth. Instead, take the path advised by the Hopi Elders and offered to the world on June 15 over national radio. Rediscover your spirituality. 「If you change now, and change your life around, it will help in the alleviation of much of the terrible outcome from the cataclysms. There is a lot in store for all of us. And the intensity of this will be a lot less if we can all settle down and behave, and not be in the actions that we are right now.」 The Hopi Elder went on to explain that it makes no difference whether your spirituality falls in line with an organized philosophy or religion, or if it is something that you have come up with and practice on your own. 「Practice your spirituality, whatever it may be, like you have never practiced it before.」 And realize that your consciousness affects the outcome. Your consciousness effects everything. Realize that your thoughts, words and actions of today contribute to what the world will be like tomorrow. There you have it. Four easy steps to surviving the earth changes and all the prophecies. Keep your eyes open. Let go of fear. Learn all you can. Live your spirituality. It all sounds pretty simple. It almost sounds like it could even be fun. And that』s a very important point to keep in mind. Fun. True spirituality is fun. Very big fun. Joy is probably a better word; bliss perhaps even better. If your spiritual path is not leading you on a path of joy, I would suggest that it』s perhaps time to start shopping around. I have come to the understanding (and it has taken a lot of sorrow to get here) that experiencing joy is the most spiritual thing that one can do in the course of their day. Joy is infectious. It changes and charges the very air that you walk through. It lightens the hearts of those around you. And in these troubled times I can think of no better healing energy to saturate the Earth with. Joy! Why not take a few moments during each day just to pause and think of something that makes you very happy? Try it. You』ll like it. It might even become a habit. Well, I guess there』s only one more point that need to be addressed here. It』s usually the position adopted by most skeptics and those in denial as a justification for their position. 「What if the Hopi Elders are wrong?」「 What if Gordon Michael Scallion, Robert Ghost Wolf, Edgar Cayce, and all those other modern day prophets are wrong? What if the weather changes back to the way it has been in the past? What if the birds, and the fish and babies come back? What if there are no big earth changes? What if absolutely nothing happens at all? To this I can only reply, 「Wouldn't that be nice?」 We'd all be able to breathe a collective sigh of relief and joy, take a look around at the Heaven we've created here on Earth, and take great satisfaction in the fact that we didn't have to go through Hell to get there. Yes indeed, 「WOULDN』T THAT BE NICE?」
