We are in the final stages of the shaking of the earth, when the Great Spirit takes the earth in both hands and shakes it violently. Just this year, the opening of the Eastern Door took place in Cape Spear, Newfoundland, Canada, the furthest eastern point in North America.
The circle of the medicine wheel is now complete. The Wabanaki People (People of the Light) have joined the circle. We have joined the circle with the following philosophy:
Heal you, the self.
You help heal the family,
The family helps to heal the community,
The community helps to heal the nation,
The nations help to heal the world.
All the prophesies from other nations now coincide and complement each other.
It is time for us all to stop blaming one another, heal from our wounds and move forward, for the survival of the world, as we know it, lies in our hands. We must seek out and absorb the wisdom of our elders and use it for the betterment of others.
The Great Spirit left a clear and legible path in eastern North America with petroglyphs and natural monuments. This knowledge is kept under guard by our elders and only entrusted to those native people who abide by the natural laws of the Great Spirit; respect, honesty, sharing and caring. Without each one of these, the others do not exist.
It is now time for Moms, Dads, Grandmothers, Grandfathers and children to get involved in the healing of our world. Make it your business, too.
