Hopi Indians

Hopi Indians

The Hopi Indians speak of a coming time called the “Great Purification”. Looking at this potential event from the most elementary level, one must deal with the word CHANGE. Maybe the Hopi have it right. Maybe it is the Great Purification. But then maybe it’s just the end of the world- as we know it. In either case one needs to begin to LET GO of what you think you KNOW!

Hopi prophecies about the future and particularly as it relates to 2012 possible events is but half of the story. Their folklore about the past an connections to Atlantis is even more interesting. And it’s not just the Hopi Indian traditions, but nearly every native American tribe and as many as 120 different tribes from North and Central America have stories related to Atlantis.

Lyrics to the Hopi Indian Song Of The Flood, say in part, “Down on the bottom of the sea lie all the proud cities and the worldly treasures corrupted with evil, and those people who found no time to sing praises to their Creator from the top of their hills.” There’s a chilling prophetic word in that song for you and I today.

Anthropologists theorize that the native American Indians arrived on the Northern continent via a land bridge from Siberia to North America (spanning the Bering Straits) more than 12,000 years ago. Apaches and Pimas are excellent representatives of Asian origins. However, others like the Cherokees and Mandans have physical traits totally unlike that same Asian heritage.

Creek Indian cosmology believes that man was first established on a mountain that arose from the water where the Eastern sun comes. The name of the mountain was Nunne Chaha. Because of their evil ways, their mountain was destroyed by fire (volcano?) and it fell into the ocean. Only a few survivors were able to escape and come to what’s now America and become the first Indian chiefs.

This same story, with few differences is shared by such native tribes as the Hopi, Apache, Mandan, Creek, Chortans, Cherokees, Chichasaws, and Atakapas to name a few.

The descriptions that Plato wrote of Atlantis in his work, Timaeus and Critias, were eerily the same as the Indians. And what’s one to make of the fact that the Egyptians culture called this mountain and birthplace Nun (not Nunne Chaha)? Not to leave out the Iroquois, their writings mention, “A land on the far East, on the borders of the great waters, where the sun comes up, and where the white man sank into the hole in the ocean.”

I could go on forever with such stories, but let’s ask what the point of all this is? One of the lessons to be learned is that the stories that we call MYTHS are much more- they’re historical remembrances. If we can’t write off what they knew about history, can we write off what they also see about the future?

Of course we have the Mayan culture with the end date of December 21, 2012 whose prominence was from 200-900CE. Many other cultures, tribes, and cultures speak of a 2012 key date (Aztecs, Toltecs, I Ching, and others).

What has to be gleaned from history are period of disaster, enlightenment, and unexplained phenomena (visitations too?). For example, around 550-600BCE there was a major exponential jump in consciousness that’s unexplained. German philosopher Karl Jaspers coined the term the Axial Age to describe the period from 800-200 BCE, during which revolutionary thinking appeared in China, India and the Occident.

Jaspers saw major developments in religion and philosophy in these regions without any obvious direct transmission of ideas from one region to the other, having found no recorded proof of any extensive inter-communication between Ancient Greece, the Middle East, India and China.
