SIGN: the Hopi Prophecy of the True White Brother.
The Americas are a place where European civilization seized so-called “ownership” of lands already lived in by millions of aboriginal peoples.
The Hopi Prophecy expected this to happen, … that a white race would come and claim the land as their own. All the same, something else was expected, … among these white people there will some who are “true”, a “true”: white brother, who is also called in certain places the Elder Brother.
To what would such people be “true”? How are we to understand that?
In the Prophecy we find this symbolic representation of what the “true” white brother would do, during the time of crisis called in the Prophecy: the Day of Purification:
“This third event will depend upon the Red Symbol, which will take command, setting the four forces of nature (Meha) in motion for the benefit of the Sun.”
As we all know today, we live in an Age of Scientific Materialism – all is matter there is no spirit. For the Hopi spirit is as real as breathing, and this then was what was hoped for: a white brother that was true to the spirit.
The first time I wrote of this, in very small article that was published in Carl Stegmann’s anthroposophical research letter: “America in the Threefold World”, around 1984, a part Cherokee woman sought me out.
She was at Rudolf Steiner College in Fair Oaks, CA, studying Waldorf Education, and upon our meeting she advised me to as soon as possible go to the Hopi Mesas, and seek out an elder there named David Monogye.
This I did over the Easter Weekend of 1985. Various details about that visit are in the attached materials.
In the beginning, I thought this Red Symbol was Anthroposophy, Rudolf Steiner, and the Anthroposophical Society. Those are seeds planted in the last years of Western Civilization. They have grown considerably, and a good review of this growth can be found here: “Anthroposophy and the History and Future of Environmentalism”, by Dan McKanan.
Keep in mind that seeds need the soil (the heart’s richness of feeling), the sun (the mind, lighting up the meaning), and water (the adaptable will). All Rudolf Steiner did was open a gate to the Mysteries of Spirit. Inspiring others to do this without losing the connection to the Way of Knowledge of our Age, natural Science.
Meanwhile, all over the world, folks for various reasons (a needed sanity) worried over the Mother’s health, and fought again for life, in the fields of death created everywhere by modern industrial civilization.
The True “White” Brother loves the Mother, and doesn’t have to be white, or know anything other then to be true to what is in their own heart, mind, and hands.
To repeat, keeping your own heart in mind, for many people living today, just in being true to their hearts are able to sympathize with aboriginal peoples everywhere, and see this truth: No one can own the Mother.
“This third event will depend upon the Red Symbol, which will take command, setting the four forces of nature (Meha) in motion for the benefit of the Sun.”
