MY CONTRIBUTION TO THE NEW ORACLE ODYSSEY 2014
"HONOURING
THE MIRACLE OF LIFE: RAINBOW LOKAHI RENAVIGATION for the ‘SEVENTH GENERATION’ "
I am honoured to be
included in the new Oracle and
wish to extend gratitude and blessings to Star and crew for on-going hard work
and dedication to creative community and information activism. I wish to thank Liesbet Verstraeten,
who was the other half of my ‘ultimate creative partnership’, for five lovely
and awesome years of unbelievably amazing adventures and a true ‘love of life’,
a powerful and productive once-in-a-life-time experience of multi-dimensional
sharing. Bless you dolphin-goddess! And I’d like to thank Mother Earth and the
Great Spirit for making us all possible!
The nature of our personal
and collective realities is elusive, mysterious, complex and paradoxical; I
cannot speak for everyone, but as I see it, we all have a lot to be thankful
for, for ‘the beauty and power of being here now’ on a planet of immense
vitality and improbable diversity; for mitakuye oyasin, ‘all our relations’, our family of life; for the
gifts of life and creativity, and in the ‘privileged west’, ‘freedom’ and
opportunity. Many people think that everything is ‘A-OK’, that things are all
precisely as they should be.
My experience, however, is
more complex, and, I believe, more ‘realistic.’ I perceive that astronomical
contradictions and incoherencies characterize the human relationship with
Mother Earth and non-human life. With all due respect to the uniqueness of
personal realities, I also perceive that as a whole, our dMOE, or ‘distributed mental operating environment’,
our collective world-view, is not based on the underlying reality that our
planet and fellow beings matter just as much as we do, but is more of a ‘shared
delusional system’ that seems valid to us but to everyone else is a massive
hallucination driving our ecocidal military-industrial juggernaut.
The Hopi native American
concept of koyaanisqatsi seems perfectly to describe exactly what is
happening in the world of today: ‘life out of balance’, ‘crazy life’, or ‘a way
of life that calls for another way of living.’ I first learned of the Hopi
prophecies when I was at Big Mountain in northern Arizona in April 1986 in
support of indigenous people who were being forcibly relocated so their land
could be strip-mined for coal and uranium. The Chernobyl meltdown occurred
during this exact window of time; this powerful synchronicity inspired me to
become not only a life-long nuclear awareness educator, but more importantly, a
bearer of the ancient Hopi warning:
“If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster.”
As I see it, humanity’s
long-standing violation of this warning is the fundamental root of all the
major problems our species is creating and experiencing today. If you look at
the gamut of global health, socio-political, ecological, and most importantly,
spiritual, issues resulting from our extraction and exploitation of gold, coal,
iron, hydro-carbons, ‘rare Earth metals’’, and uranium, the summation really
does represent in one way or another almost everything that is going wrong. We
fail to grasp that Mother Earth is a living, breathing being and that all these
materials have functions in her body that we do not comprehend. Not only are we
disrupting her healthy functioning, we are also accruing enormous negative
karma for our species. “What we do to the Earth, we do to ourselves.” Chief
Seattle
All of this activity is
being conducted by people, and we have the ability to stop doing these things
if we wanted to. The unfortunate reality, however, is that as a whole we are
steam-rolling ahead with our pedal to the metal.
For decades I have felt
that the whales and dolphins are not only a ‘true extra-terrestrial
intelligence’ but also ‘the ultimate indigenous people’. I believe not only
that the cetacean noosphere, the summation of their spiritual and psychic
presence, has nurtured us and helped us become who we really are as ‘people’…I
think they were ‘people’ long before we were…but also that they remember who WE
are, even though we have forgotten, and are trying desperately to remind us of
our true nature and to warn us of impending global cataclysm.
The most powerful
encounter with cetaceans I’ve ever had was when Liesbet and I were swimming in
the ocean off of Aotea, or
Great Barrier Island on the north island of New Zealand in 2010. Out of the
blue, three dolphins approached us very closely and seemed to be ‘zapping’ us
with some kind of amazing energy. They did this, left, and returned two or
three times. We were blown away. When we got out of the water, we both felt
extremely exhilarated physically, mentally, and spiritually but we both also
felt that the dolphins had imparted to us a profound sense of urgency, a
warning that some huge cataclysm was impending. A few months later the Fukushima scenario unfolded, what is
by far the greatest ecological catastrophe in modern history; but my feeling is
that the warning was for events on a far larger planetary scale.
During my recent visit to
the Big Island of Hawaii I had a powerful encounter with a woman who is a
descendant of the original true Polynesian nobility who first settled there
thousands of years ago, the Ha’I people. She shared some amazing information
with me concerning esoteric dimensions of their shamanic navigation techniques,
but of greatest interest was the story of her people. In essence, her original
ancestor was a king of Lemuria who was warned by the sea-god, who had taken on
the form of a whale crossed with a dolphin, that a major cataclysm was
approaching and that they had to leave the island. He constructed an ark-like
boat and with the help of the sea-god, who promised to assist in times of need,
made it to the islands now known as Hawaii.
The Iriquois native
Americans believed that the consequences and implications of all major
decisions should be considered for the effects they would have seven
generations in the future; genetic toxicologist Arnold Lehmann, a contemporary
of Rachel Carson, said in 1963 that in order truly to understand the effects of
what chemical and radio-logical mutagens are doing to us, we would have to
study at least 25 generations of people. We of today are only the third
generation to live since these substances came into being. The Iriquois-Lehmann
Paradox aptly characterizes the current scenario.
I don’t know whether the
impending global cataclysm could be of cosmic origin as described by Immanuel
Velikovsky, or a slower process of the autogenic mutation of life as we know
her due to ‘progress’ and relentless technological advancement, or if the latter
might precede and/or contribute to the former. What we do not know and cannot
know is much vaster than what we can and do know; what seems clear, however, is
that we are not heeding the best knowledge we already have, and that
“civilization” (which literally means ‘living in cities’) cannot continue to
‘progress’ at the expense of the healthful existence of indigenous people,
including cetaceans, the world over, of mitakuye oyasin, of Mother Earth herself. While ‘modern man’ as a
whole is mutating his way through an ‘A-OK’ la-la land of consensus shared
delusion, Mother Earth and the Great Spirit are lovingly yet firmly evaluating
our every move.
To me, the challenge we
now face is to re-navigate the overall human process and reprogram our
collective dMOE using our best
knowledge and wisdom and our immense powers of creativity, the ‘spark of
divinity’ with which we each have been blessed; to ‘walk in beauty’ and
compassion, to ask more of ourselves.
The Hopi prophecy tells us
that koyaanisqatsi is ultimately
healed through the ‘day of purification’, a period of time during which Mother
Earth cleanses herself of all that is out of balance with the nature of life,
and that the ‘people of one heart’ would survive to be the ‘seeds’ of the ‘new
creation.’
To ‘live simply so that
others may simply live’ is to me the real message the cetaceans are beaming to
us at this time; to base our decision-making on their implications for the
‘seventh generation’ also makes a lot of sense. We may not be able to forestall
the ‘day of purification’, but we may be able to lessen its impact for the
benefit of our ancestors, of mitakuye oyasin.
I believe that EACH of us,
as the human beings of here and now, share equally in the responsibility for
what our species is doing. The larger cosmic context is beyond our control, but
we could be doing a lot better job of taking care of our lives and Mother
Earth.
Everything that I do, all
of my creative activities, are in honour of the miracle of life as we know
her. Much of my recent art has
rainbows in honour of the Rainbow Serpent, a mythological guardian common to many indigenous tribes of
Australia, believed to represent the electromagnetic spectrum as well as the
telluric currents of energy, the ‘nervous system impulses’, flowing through the
body of Mother Earth; and cetaceans in honour of the highest beings on this
planet. ‘Lokahi’ is a Hawaiian/Polynesian word meaning ‘world-view web of
life’.
With this Oracle presentation, I honour the miracle of life, and
recommend a Rainbow Lokahi
re-navigation for the ‘seventh generation.’
