AMERICAN INDIAN PROPHECIES AND LEGENDS
THE PROPHECY OF THE FESTIVAL OF THE Q'OLLORIT'I
This also comes from the book "The return of the children of Light" and is an Incan prophecy for the possible future. Maybe symbolic, maybe literal but when I first read it I felt a tingle...almost a knowing of it!! So I will let you all decide for yourselves, how you want to take it! It is definetly interesting!
It is a festival held sometime either in May or June high up in the Andes. It celebrates the return of the Pleiades which were very important to the Incas. Well there is said to be a prophecy that starts at this festival. It is the return of the Children of Light. When the energy is strong enough at this festival it is said that the first maleof the fifth level or dimension, will arise at this festival and will walk to the town of Urcos by a given route. Then he will meet the second male by the door of a church near the temple of Wiraccocha. Together they will go to Cuzco to meet the third and then to Lima to meet the fourth. In Lima the four will meet the first female of the fifth level. Then they will go to Arequipa and encounter the secon female. From there they will continue to Lake Titicaca, where they will meet the third female and then return to Cuzco, where they will encounter the fourth, for a total of eight individuals. These eight will be joined by two more couples, from the North, for a totla of twelve people at the fifth level of consciouness. Together the twelve will return to the Temple of Wiraccocha, where they will perform the ancient coronation ritual. According to the legend, at the end of the ceremony one of the candidates would visibly glow with brilliant light, as though the hand of Wiraccocha himself had selected the next Inca. this ability to shine is a sign of the sixth level of consciouness.
Further the prophecy relates that those who have achieved the fifth level of consciousness will come from all directions and from places sacred to the Inca. As discussed, it states that the first man will appear in the East, at the festival of the Q'ollorit'i, and will walk to the South (Urcos), where the second will have appeared. They will then walk to the West (Cuzco) where the third will have appeared, and then to the North (Lima), where they will meet the first female. The cycle will then be repeated with the illuminated women, who will come from the North, South, East, and West. Thus the eight illuminated brothers and sisters will appear simultaneously, like the original eight Inca brothers and sisters, the first children of the light. These eight will be joined by two more couples from the North, and then they will gather at the Temple of Wiraccocha, which is light, the source of all creation. Finally the prophecy states that the children of light will then dance in sacred ritual as fully conscious beings.
THE INCA MYTH OF CREATION
I have gotten this from the book: Return of the Children of Light by Judith Bluestone Polich. I have been to Lake Titicaca on the Bolivian side. Someday I feel I will go to Peru too and see the sacred river Vicanota and travel the Incan Path through the valley! That is a great dream I have. I also have been to Tiahuanaco! Very powerful feeling there...very sacred...
According to the Inca myth of creation, Wiraccocha (the God of Creation) ordred the sun, moon, and stars to rise in the sky above Lake Titicaca so there would be light in the world. He then created the descendants of the Inca (The Ayer sisters and brothers four of each to make eight), who came out into the Lake Titicaca and followed the sacred river (Vilcanota), until they came to a beautiful valley. There they entered "the Basement" of a building know as "The House Of Dawn" or the Pacaritanpu, which was aligned with the first light of the solstice and was the mythological place of the first dynasty of the Inca. Inca record keepers recount that at dawn on the solstice, the Earth opened up at the window of Pacaritanpu, and the first Inca, Manco Capac(the oldest Ayer), stepped into this world and was engendered by a special ray of light. Then the brothers and sisters emerged and were also engendered by the sun, becoming the "illuminated Ones", The Inca and the first Children Of the sun!
Now long before the "illuminated ones" it was said that Wiraccocha created a dark world. To populate this new world he then created a race of giants, directing them to live in peace and serve him. But they did not obey, so he turned them into stone and sent a great fllod called the uru pachacuti to transform their world. Wiraccocha populated the world again, this time creating lamps to give the people light. This creation occured at the most sacred place in the Incan world, Lake Titicaca. There Wiraccocha commanded the sun, the moon, and the stars to rise out of the lake and up into the heavens to light the way for the new people. Then Wiraccha sent a being created in his likeness as a messenger, and when this being came into the world he brought a sack full of gifts for the people. This new Wiraccocha had great powers: this being wa able to transform the shape of the land and give life to all people and all animals. The "messenger" went to the place known as Tiahuanaco, the sacred place of the beginningnear the shores of Lake Titicaca. There he created a design instone of all the people he planned to call forth and nourish in a new world of light. Next, he travled the mountain paths of the high plateau and called to the new people to emerge from their paqarinas, their place of sacred origin, and populate the new world. At the sound of his voice, the gateways opened and the people came forth---- some from sacred doorways, some from lakes, others from caves, springs, and trees. To each group he gave a costume, a language, seeds, and sacred songs. Further, he gave all the new people the names of the trees, flowers, and fruits---telling which were for eating and which were for healing. Wiraccocha admonished the new people to be good, loving, and not to harm others. He then taught them to cultivate the Earth, terrace the land, irrigate, and plant the sacred crops of corn potatoes, and coca. And he gave them sacred arts such as weaving and pottery. Before he left this world , Wiraccocha gave the people of Ollantaytambo, who lived high in the sacred valley, his staff,which was engraved with all his knowledge. Because of this great gift the town flourished. It was in Ollantayyambo that the first Inca, Manco Capac (The illuminated One) emerged. When Manco was born, Wiraccocha's staff turned to gold., and the first Incas--the four sisters and four brothers--- followed the sacred Vilcanota river from Lake Titicaca and emerged from The House Of Dawn near Ollantaytambo. At the moment of their emergence, they were engendered by a special golden ray of the great sun (which is the greta central sun of our galxy by which mirrors our regular sun), illuminating them and causing them to be called "The Children of the Sun".
THE SEVENTH FIRE PROPHECY
Seven prophets came to the Anishinabe. They came at a time when the people were living a full and peaceful life on the North Eastern coast of North America. These prophets left the people with seven predictions of what the future would bring. Each of the prophecies was called a fire and each fire referred to a particular era of time that would come in the future. Thus, the teachings of the seven prophets are now called the "Seven Fires".
Then seven prophets appeared to the people. The First Prophet told the people that in the time of the First Fire they would leave their homes by the sea and follow the sign of the megis. They were to journey west into strange lands in search of a island in the shape of a turtle. This island will be linked to the purification of the earth. Such an island was to be found at the beginning and at the end of their journey. Along the way they would find a river connecting two large sweet water seas. This river would be narrow and deep as though a knife had cut through the land. They would stop seven times to create villages but they would know that their journey was complete when they found food growing on the water. If they did not leave, there would be much suffering and they would be destroyed. And they would be pursued and attacked by other nations along the way so they must be strong and ready to defend themselves.
The Second Prophet told them they could recognize the Second Fire because while they were camped by a sweet water sea they would lose their direction and that the dreams of a little boy would point the way back to the true path, the stepping stones to their future.
The Third Prophet said that in the Third Fire the Anishinabe would find the path to the lands prepared for them and they would continue their journey west to the place where food grows upon the water.
The Fourth Prophet was two who came as one. The first told them to expect a race of people who had light skin. The future of the Anishinabeg would be known by the face the light-skinned people would wear. If they come in brotherhood there would be a time of wonderful change. New knowledge would be joined with the old knowledge and the two peoples would join to make a mighty nation. Two other nations would join to make four and they would become the mightiest nation of all. If they brought only their knowledge and their good-will they would be like brothers.
The second being of the Fourth Prophet warned the light-skinned race might wear the face of death that would almost look the same as the face of brotherhood. "If they come carrying a weapon and if they seem to be suffering, beware. Behind this face is greed. You shall recognize the face of death if the rivers are poisoned and the fish are unfit to eat."
The Fifth Prophet said that in the time of the Fifth Fire there will be a struggle between the way of the mind of the light-skinned people and the natural path of spirit of the many nations of natural people. "As this fire loses its heat there will come among the people those who promise great joy and salvation. If the people accept this promise and abandon the old ways, the struggle will continue for many generations. This promise is false and it will nearly destroy those who accept it."
The Sixth Prophet told them that in the time of Sixth Fire it would be clear that the promise accepted during the Fifth Fire was false. "Those who were deceived by this promise will take their children away from the teachings of the elders. The elders will lose their purpose in life and many will become sick and die. Many people will be out of balance and the cup of life will become the cup of grief."
The Seventh Prophet was younger than the others who had come and there was a glowing light from his eyes. He said that there would come a time when the waters had been so poisoned that the animals and plants that lived there would fall sick and begin to die. Much of the forests and prairies would be gone so the air would begin to lose the power of life. The way of the mind brought to the red, black, and yellow nation by the white nation would bring danger to the whole earth. In this time there will arise Osh-ki-bi-ma-di-zeeg, a new people who will emerge from the clouds of illusion. They will retrace their steps to find the treasures that had been left by the trail. The stories that had been lost will be returned to them. They will remember the Original Instructions and find strength in the way of the circle. Their search will take them to the elders and the new people will ask for guidance. But many of the elders will have walked the Path of the Souls to the Star Web. Many elders will have forgotten their wisdom and they will not be able to help. Some of the elders will point in the wrong direction and others will remain silent because of their fear. Some of the elders will be silent because no one has asked them for their wisdom.
If the New People will find trust in the way of all things, in the circle, they will no longer need the selfish voice of the ego and they can begin to trust their inner voice. Wisdom will be once again be found in dreams of the night and of the day. The sacred fire will once again be lit. The Light-skinned People will be given a choice between two paths. If they choose the right path the Seventh Fire will light the Eighth Fire and final fire of brotherhood and sisterhood. If they choose the wrong path, remaining on the path of the mind, then the destruction they brought with them will come back to destroy them. The people of the earth will experience much suffering and death.
