Manataka American Indian Council
Second Message of
Manataka
(Excerpts from "Standing Bear
Speaks")
What is it that can be
said that you have not been told already?
Have you not
been told to love one another? Were you told to have no other gods
except the Creator and honor your father and mother? Were you
told to keep Mother Earth and all things on her
sacred?
Our ancient
prophesies say a time will come when the blue sky and waters turn
black and green things turn brown and die. Animals and fish will
disappear and birds will drop from the sky. This devastation will
come as a result of man's greed and disrespect for Mother Earth.
A new universe is now flying through the cosmos
about to enter the earth's heavens. We can barely see its enormous
beak of the Aquarian bird as the stars and planets move to align
themselves to the Awakening. The time is not far off when great
cataclysmic changes will begin to occur on Earth. Only a few will
withstand these extreme alterations and there will be mass
unconsciousness. The polarity of man's universe will change. Great
institutions, political divisions and economic systems will crumble,
chaos will reign for a time.
Among the
few who possess inner strength to resist the mass unconsciousness
will rise a new neo-indigenous people. Prophesies foretell of a
people who will rise from earth's ashes like the thunderbird
symbolizing rebirth. They will bring balance and harmony back to
Mother Earth. The first of these beings will come as teachers and
storytellers to remind us of ancient truths of the star people and
beyond. They will be pathfinders leading the way to a new universe,
a new reality.
Great
leaders spiritual leaders and warriors of many nations will be born and they
will cleanse the earth for rebirth. Next will come the Planters
sowing seeds of truth, justice and freedom. The Storytellers,
Warriors and Planters will live in the way of the Great Spirit and
will teach ways to keep Mother of the Ground sacred forevermore.
They will be called Rainbow Warriors
for they
will gather the four sacred directions, all distinctly separate but
forever connected in the Circle of Life. They will bring together
the four races of man to live in peace. The four sacred directions
and the four races of man are symbolized by the magnificence and
glory of the rainbow. The neo-indigenous people of the Rainbow will
give praise for the blessings of the Creator's loving grace.
Manataka is home of the Rainbow Woman who
sleeps deep within the sacred mountain in the Place of Peace. During
the Awakening, she will emerge once more to give rebirth to this new
tribe of people who will sing and dance praises to the Great Spirit
- Creator under the rainbow. Warriors of the Rainbow will be
pathfinders of the principals the people will follow to achieve
unity, understanding and love.
The Awakening
will bring forth the Rainbow Woman who will show the Warriors the
path to the Crystal Cave. The messages of the ancients will be
decoded using the seven keys and revealed to the Warriors by the
Creator. And each one will be gifted with powers to commune on many
planes of existence.
The sacred
Circle of Life turns slowly but inevitably back to the place where
it began. Thus, we say 'all things that were, will be
again. On
earth this is true, but this statement is not entirely correct -
depending on ones perspective.
As each age
passes, it cannot be reclaimed. We cannot go back in time.
If we
were to look from above at the Circle of Life it would appear as a
gigantic spiral. Each age, or revolution of the Circle moves the
next Circle to a plane in perfect concentric alignment with the
last, but on higher level in the spiral. Those souls who walk the
path to higher awareness, consciousness and spirituality move with
the spiral to the next plane. Those who do not, do not.
Now is the time we begin to prepare ourselves to become inheritors of Mother Earth, to become
Warriors of the Rainbow - for
the sake of our children's children and all humanity. The road of
the future is not red. It is a rainbow leading to the Creators grace
by way of prayer, good works, faith and keeping the ancient
traditions.
We must
first unshackle ourselves from materialism and organized religious
dogma and personal prejudice. There is nothing more important than
becoming free in mind, body and soul from modern confusion in order
to reach a higher plane of spirituality. Our very survival depends
on it. To see the Light of the Rainbow we must quite our minds and
feel inner peace and strength that flows as a river, one with nature
and all creation.
To be chosen to
walk the path to Light is not a decision made by some religious
leader, a government agency or politician. It is a personal choice
made by a mind and heart made free of religious guilt and idols of
modern materialism. It is a decision made between you and the
Creator.
Now is the
Time
Go to a quite place on
the mountain, river, or in the forest - The church of the Great
Spirit. Spend three days fasting and praying. Strip your mind and
body of all worldly things. Listen to nature, listen to your inner
self. Purify yourself and talk to the Creator. Give thanks for all
the blessing of life and all creation. Give yourself completely to
this pilgrimage. Maybe, just maybe the Creator will speak to you,
show you a vision, and lead you closer to the
Light.
The time will come soon when you will be
needed. Manataka, the Place of Peace will be one of the Great
Gathering places of those who seek the Light of the Rainbow. There,
we will learn to walk the path and receive joyful the blessings of
the Great Spirits and Creator. We will feel joy and peace of a world
without rancor and division. One with each other, one with creation
and one with the Creator. Ah Hoa!
