sharing MASTER'S LOVE AT THE WORLD VISION CONFERENCE
(AND LEARNINGTHE PROPHECIES OF THE NATIVE AMERICANS)Over the years, Thomas One Wolf's organizationhas stayed in touch with us, but we have never met up again untiljust a couple months ago. At the global conference of the UnitedReligions Initiative at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.Surprisingly, as soon as we walked in, we saw Thomas One Wolfand his wife Sherri.
It was a joyous reunionand we were all very surprised to see each other. Thomas and Sherritold us of their work with the United Religions Initiative. Theyhad just been designated as the leaders of the Southwest regionaldivision of this world body which had an official charter to becomea Non Governmental Organization (NGO) of the United Nations. Thiswould become a worldwide organization similar to the United Nations,but made up of the world religions. They had been formed on the50th anniversary of the signing of the United Nations charterand now they have regional offices around the world. The involvementof the Native Americans in this organization became an importantfulfillment of Indian prophecy as we would later learn.
Thomas and Sherri toldus that he and his 98 year old grandfather were going to holda "World Vision Conference" in New Mexico which wouldbring the elders from some of the largest tribes together withmany religious leaders from around the world. They said they hadjust spoken to Master recently and personally invited Her to speak.Of course, Master's arrangement brought us all together for perfecttiming. The World Vision Conference, we believe, was Master'sway to help plant seeds for blessings to spread to the NativeAmericans.
A couple of days followingthe United Religions Conference, Master sent special instructionsto organize a group of people to attend the World Vision Conferencein Albuquerque, New Mexico. Not certain that Her schedule wouldpermit Her to speak at the event, She at least wanted to makesure that She had representatives who would bring Her respect,love and sincere compassion to the Native American people. Shesaid that She felt they had endured a lot of hardship over theyears and wanted to bring them some comfort. Disciples and Westerncontact people came from all corners of the US - California, NewYork, Georgia, Arizona, Alabama, Colorado, Texas and Missouri,representing Master at this moving event.
Thomas had told us thatone of the purposes of the conference, was to unite elders ofthe largest Indian tribes and representatives of many spiritualpaths so that he could share a vision he was given 14 years ago.Many of the native tribes have been told in their inner visionsand dreams that they should share their prophecies and visionswith all the races of humankind. There is a striking similaritybetween many of the native prophecies and Master's teachings.They speak of how we have forgotten to respect our Earth Mother(Mother Nature) and because we have not honored the earth, theresulting retribution is severe weather, many floods and firesand a dramatic shortage in the food and water supply.
They have been toldthat we must come together not as the Native race of the red people,but as one human race - white, black, yellow and red - under oneGreat Spirit (God) in communion with the earth (Mother Nature).We have forgotten our native ways and forsaken them in the nameof progress and because of it, the earth is now toxic and pollutedand it must cleanse itself, with or without humarikind. If allthe races of humankind come back together in the name of honoringeach other and Mother Earth, the world will unite in a new eraof peace. If we somehow forget this mission, many thousands ofpeople will suffer and the human race could even disappear.
As disciples of Master,we understood this message very clearly as many of us have beenworking in disaster relief for many years. One of the tribal elderssaid that the world would begin to rapidly change after theirmessage was sent across the waters. There, it would touch theears of someone who speaks the same Truth, from the One Heartand the One religion. We were convinced he was speaking of Master.
Before attending theconference, Thomas invited us to come to a special prayer ceremonycalled a Sweat at his land north of Albuquerque. He owns 4,000acres of land near Taos, New Mexico. This is a special regionof the Southwestern United States known for its spiritual atmosphereas in ancient legends it is said to be the site of where the firsthumans dwelled. It is in what is known as the Four Comers region,which is the holy land of many Native American tribes. Differenttribes do these ceremonies in different ways, but in Thomas' tribaltradition, people enter into a dome-shaped tent called an Inipiand sit in a circle around a pit in which is placed heated stones.The tribal spiritual leader then sprinkles herbs and pours waterover the stones and around the circle each person speaks theirprayers and hopes for the world. Iris very hot inside (thus whyit is called a "sweat"), but it is a symbolic purificationritual to cleanse the body and mind of toxins.
When Thomas and Sherrimet Master many years ago, he explained the sacred purpose ofthe Inipi and predicted that one day we would visit his land tosit in spiritual ceremony. This day happened when our disciplescame together in prayer in the Inipi lodge with Thomas. It wasa very moving moment as each person went around the circle andprayed for the world, for the spiritual progress of humankindand for a return to our highest nature.
It was a wonderful timefor all disciples to come together as a family and share our loveand respect with the tribal elders in this way. It really feltlike meeting up with long lost brothers and sisters.
We returned to Albuquerquethe next day and prepared for the World Vision Conference. TheConference itself was a fall day of spiritual discourse from manydifferent traditions. There were Christian speakers, a KundaliniYoga Master, a Lama of Tibetan Buddhism, a spiritual author andteacher, and elders from several native tribes: the Cree, theNavajo, the Hopi, the Taos Pueblo people, the Tewa, and the Saquamish.Even though Master did not come, Her presence was very much thereand the presence of our disciples was very much appreciated inthe event. Several other gurus and teachers could also not attendand instead sent a message to be read on their behalf. Our disciplesstood up as a group m a semi-circle at the front of the room holdinghands while one disciple shared the message Master had asked usto give:
She had askedthat we come on Her behalf to give Her deep respect and love tothe Native American people and to bring a message of Hope forthe future that we may heal the wounds of the past and keep aneye toward a brighter future for all of us together. We said that Masterhad taught us to not only pray and speak our philosophy and truth,but to also act upon it by effecting positive change in the worldaround us. In this spirit of brotherhood, we had come from aroundthe nation to share our dreams for a better tomorrow. We endedby having one of the disciples reading the following quote byMaster of Her dream for the future.
I have adream. I dream that the whole world becomes peaceful, that everyonebecomes God. I dream that all the killing will stop, that allthe children will walk in peace and harmony. I dream that allthe nations will shake hands, protect each other and help eachother. I dream that our beautiful planet will not be destroyedby some crazy atom bomb; a planet that has taken billions, trillionsof years to create in beauty and love. Yes, that is my dream. Many people were verytouched and came up to us after the event wanting to know moreabout Master and Her teachings.
It was a very lovingevent and we each were deeply affected. It was a very specialtime to bring together our Western disciples in a place wherewe could actually spend some time getting to know one another.We played musical cars on the way up and returning from Thomas'land and this gave us time to laugh and share our stories andspiritual struggles. We had large group meals together, groupmeditation morning and evening and small interludes where we couldsit and be quiet with each other. And we know Master was therewith us, even though Her physical body was not there. One sisterverified this by a dream she had the first morning she was there.In her dream while she was meditating with other initiates whocame to this conference, Master came embraced them, and thankedthem for coming there, filling them with light and blessings.
Thank You, Master, forthis wonderful opportunity to reach out to our brothers and sistersin need. The Native people are afraid, and we would like to havemore ways to relieve their suffering, if possible. They are havinga lot of problems growing their crops this year and they may hefacing wide-scale hunger on the reservations. We are sure thatthere is no accident that we were sent at the time Master arrangedWith Master's blessings, I'm sure our paths will cross again.
