霍比预言，人类的选择是否是末日或新时代的两条路。
北美印第安人并不是一个单一的民族，而是由许多不同的部落组成，语言文化历史彼此相似而又不尽相同。许多人认为印第安人与亚洲黄种人很有渊源。在印第安人各民族中有许多预言和传说，尤其是霍比(Hopi)部落，被喻为历史的记录者。他们通过口传等方式记录了许多古老的印第安传说，著名的霍比预言就是其中之一。上图为被称为"预言石"的石刻.
霍比部落是一个古老的印第安部落。他们的祖先大约在5千到1万年前从墨西哥迁移到亚力桑那州。目前，霍比族主要生活在亚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 有十二个村庄。其中十个村庄对非印第安人的大众开放。
霍比族是一个有悠久的信仰传统的民族，他们一年四季都举行不同的宗教圣典。他们从祖先那里流传下来许多关于人类的起源，历史及未来的预言。约在50年代有人把它第一次用英语公布于世，很多关于历史如前两次世界大战的预言都很准确。
霍比族认为，我们人类已经过了四次不同的文明交替，其有关人类起源的传说， 和西方《圣经》中的说法有类似之处。大体讲起来是这样的：世界本来只是无终止的空间，没有头尾，没有时间，没有生命。造物主(Taiowa the Creator)首先造了 Sotuknang(一个神，被称为造物主的侄儿),Sotuknang 在造物主的指导下创造了各种 固态物质，七个宇宙，水和空气。之后，Sotuknang 又造了Spider Woman. 用泥土造 了四种不同肤色(黄，红，白，黑)的人。Sotuknang给了这四种不同肤色人智慧，再生能力，和不同的语言，并让他们去不同的方向迁移，生活。Sotuknang 告诉他们： “我给你们这一切，就是让你们幸福生活。但有一个要求：你们在任何时候都要尊敬造物主。尊敬造就你们的造物主博爱。只要你们活着，就别忘了这些。”这些人被称为第一(批)人 (The First People). 他们所居住的世界被称为第一世界 (The First World).
后来，第一批人(The First People)中有好多人忘记了Sotuknang的教诲，而不 再尊敬造物主了。这样以来，第一世界(The First World)最后就被大火毁灭了。有一 部分道德高尚的人幸存下来，进入了第二世界(The Second World)。尽管第二世界不 如第一世界美好，但第二世界还是很美好的。这时期人类向四面八方迅速繁衍。人们经常歌颂造物主。
渐渐的，人们的私欲越来越大，他们居然又忘了歌颂造物主。不久，第二世界就被造物主用冰冻毁掉了。造物主又造了第三世界(The Third World). 从第二世界幸存下来的人就在第三世界里生活，繁衍后代。
最后，人们的道德又下滑了。人们把自己的创造力用在了邪恶的方面。从而导致第三世界被大洪水毁掉。幸存者进入了第四世界(The Fourth World). 这些幸存者就 是我们现在的这次人类文明。
上次人类文明被淘汰的主要原因是人类的腐败，私心变重，和不相信伟大神灵的教诲。霍比族认为，上次大洪水几乎淹没了所有人类。只有少数几个相信伟大神灵的人活了下来。伟大神灵告诫他们要坚信伟大神灵的教诲。霍比族和这位伟大神灵曾立下神圣的誓约：我们永远遵照你的教导去做。对于霍比族而言，造物主的天法是永恒不变的。
下面就让我们来看一看霍比人的许多具体论述。
地水火风与四色人种本同源
──1986年北美印第安人本土研讨会议节选
霍比文化所以涉及历史的渊源很深。其有关地、水、火、风的论述时期甚至比佛教徒所知道的四大(地、水、火、风)提出的时间要早得多，而人类起源于同一肤色的讲法更超越了现代的历史认识和一般宗教的理解。本文节选自：“Talk Given by Lee Brown in 1986 Continental Indigenous Council”。虽搀入了许多个人认识，但还 是可以依稀看到霍比神喻的原意。霍比民族在北美大陆的历史有多久远还无人能知，据说他们的预言石刻经测定有50000年的历史，当然碳14的测定方法也并不很可靠。请看译文：
“矿物质，岩石有一个循环周期，植物也有。而我们现在正处在动物循环周期的结束和人类新一轮循环周期的开始。 ”
“当我们进入这一轮人类的轮回，我们与身俱有的伟大的潜能将从我们的光与灵中释放出来。但是我们现在正接近这一轮动物轮回周期的结束，我们知道了动物在地球是怎么回事。 ”
“很久以前，在此次循环周期的开始，伟大的神灵降临到地球，他召集人们到一个现在已沉入海底的岛上，他对人类说，我要把你们送到四个方向，并逐渐地使你们的肤色变成四种颜色，我要给你们一些教导，你们将称它是上天的训示，当你们再次相聚时，你们要分享这些教导，以使你们能和睦地生活在地球上，这将是人类文明的开始。”
他接着说，“在此次循环里，我将给你们每一方向上的人种两个石刻，你们不得把它丢弃，否则，不仅仅是人类将承受很大的磨难，整个地球将会消亡。”
“他给每一方向的人类一个职责，我们把它叫做‘守护者’。 ”
“对印地安人，也就是红色人种，他让他们作为土地的守护者，他们要去领悟大地的知识，植物从土地里生长结果，供应人类的食品，草药可以用来治病。我们把这些知识同时与其它兄弟姐妹分享。”
“对于南方的黄色人种，他们将做为风的守护者，他们将去领悟天空和呼吸，他们在这时将分享这些。 ”
“对于西方的黑色人种，他们将做为水的守护者，他们将去学习万物之首，水的启示，他们是最卑贱的，也是最强大的。 ”
“对于北方的白色人种，他们将做为火的守护者，如果你去看，他们做的许多事的核心，你会发现那里有火。你可以说，电灯泡就是白人的火。汽车里有火花塞，同样，你会在飞机和火车里找到火。火会燃烧和移动，这就是为什么白人最先在地球上迁移，使得我们联合成为一个大家庭。”
“很长时间过去了，伟大的神给每一个人种两块石刻，我们印地安人把它们保存在亚利桑那州的霍毕保留地的一个耸立的高台之上。”
“预言石”的故事
在美国亚利桑那州Oraibi附近，有一块被称为"预言石"的石刻(如上图)，所刻画的内容以象征手法表达了许多霍比部落据说已有上万年历史的古老预言。他们没有用文字，而附近，有一块被称为"预言石"的石刻，所刻画的内容以象征手法表达了许多霍比部落据说已有上万年历史的古老预言。他们没有用文字，而是代代口述相传。由于年代久远，很难有人能对图中最左边的放射光明的圆圈及中间的、符号(形同佛家万字符)做出恰当解释。有些相关介绍甚至将其去掉，只解释中间部份。据我一位朋友介绍，他在西亚图的华盛顿大学读心理学课程时，曾学习过此图，并一眼指出左边的大人是高级生命─GreatSpirit,可见其影响。从印第安语至英语的翻译过程可能是目前有关霍比预言的书及网上资料在某些细节上有出入的一个原因，加之年代久远，代代相传，即便今天的许多印第安人也已经不能理解，甚至不能相信这些预言。
现在我们将以往对预言石的破解综述如下，仅供参考。
一种简明清楚的解释如下：左边的大人象征伟大的高级生命(Great Spirit)手指 此预言，两条水平线指两条不同的发展路线：上边的线象征没有精神约束平衡的科技之路，下边的线象征精神之路。
有三条竖线，第一条是此预言的开始时间；第二条表示某个时间人类将决定走哪条路，实证科学之路还是精神之路；下面的在线的两个圆圈象征两次世界大战。最后一条粗的竖线是最后一条决定走哪条路的时间，也就是今天。如果选择物质之路，结果将曲折而至毁灭。而如果选择精神之路，结果将和平而和谐。
另一种解释是：左边的大人是伟大的高级生命(Great Spirit)，他左手上的碗代 表他对霍比部落要放下武器的训导，高级生命右边的竖线象征以成千上万年为计的时间比例，在线高级生命所触的一点是他将回来的时间。
高级生命所开辟的生命之路分为下面的窄些的与自然和谐融洽的连续生命之路，和宽些的上面一条白人的科技成果之路。十字之上，两条路之间的竖线指白人的到来，十字是基督教义，十字下的小圆圈代表连续不灭的生命循环。(笔者认为圆圈都应指生命的更新与淘汰，则此小圆圈似应指本次文明开始时的一次人类淘汰,或大洪水。)
上面一条路的四个小人代表(一层含义是)过去的三个世界和现在；另一层含义是，这表明部份霍比部落的人将受白人表面文明的诱惑而走向白人的道路。
下面这条生命之路上的两个圆圈是"高级生命之手在撼摇整个地球"(第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战)。图最左边太阳之中的Swastika(与古老的佛家符号相同，佛家中用黄色；与纳粹符号转向相反，纳粹用黑色)和图最右边的Celtic Cross(据说此 标志为基督教义所用，用红色；亦为纳粹所用，用黑色)象征着Pahana的两个帮助者, Pahana是印第安人的真正的白色兄弟，另有文章写作Bahani，意为Baha的人，ni在 印第安语中义为“的人”，两种英语拼写应来源于同一印语)。
两条生命路线之间的第三条粗竖线代表人类在科技之路走向曲折之前返回自然的最后一次机会。随后的小圆圈即是霍比人所说的“生命大淘汰更新期(Great Purifi-cation)"，也就是现在。再之后谷物繁荣生长，高级生命重回地球。生命之路永恒不灭。
霍比预言(二) -- 第三次世界大战
当“Kachina”在广场一曲舞中，在无动于衷的孩子（大众）面前摘下面具之时，霍比的一切仪式与庆典都将结束。一段日子里将没有任何仪式，不再有任何信仰。然后“Oraibi”（霍比部落在亚力桑那州的住地）将再度繁荣，忠实的信仰与庆典，标志了霍比新一轮生命的开始。
在其它一些古老的国家（如印度，中国），会有一些将光（神圣智能）暴露于世的人引发第三次世界大战。
此战争将是“一场精神信仰与物质追求的冲突，物欲的一方将被有信仰追求的人们所摧毁，他们将留下来创造一个世界，在一个权力下的一个国家，这一个权力将直属造物主（Creator）。”
美国，土地与人民，会被原子弹与辐射摧毁。只有霍比部落和他们的家园会留存下来，作为避难者的绿州。原子弹避难所不会有益，“只有追求物质的人才会去寻求避难所。内心平静的人已经得到了整个生命的最大庇护。没有给邪恶的庇护所。在整个世界被各种新潮意识搞的分崩离析的过程中，那些没有参与的人们将在另一世界中再生，不管他们是黑，是白，是红，还是黄种人。他们都是一种人，是兄弟。
时间并不远。当Saquasohuh（兰星）Kachina在舞中揭去面具时就会来临。他代表了一颗兰星，还看不到，很快就会出现。此时间可由Wuwuchim 庆典中唱的一首歌预知。此歌1914年第一次世界大战前唱了，1940年第二次世界大战前又唱了。这首歌描述了分裂，腐败，和污染了霍比部落仪式的仇恨情绪，而整个世界也正弥漫着同样的邪恶。这首歌在1961年Wuwuchim庆典也唱了。
| Hopi Elders Say Earth Changes Are Upon Usby 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?”Simon Hunt |
