My darlings, did you know that the sacred pipe of the Native Americans – also known as the ‘peace pipe’ – is actually a very compelling symbol of the relationship between all living beings? It is said that a white buffalo calf appeared from the North – transformed into a beautiful young woman – to present this gift of peace to the world.
At the heart of it is the fire within our heart, carried on the winds of one purifying breath.
“Through it the human breath sends to all the six directions the purifying smoke that connects the person to the divine and is the link between all forms of life: mitakuye oyasin, we are all relatives.” –Joseph Epes Brown
Mitakuye oyasin – we are all one, my darlings. It is this breath of shared understanding that will eventually bring peace to this world.
Remember this as you walk along your path today; look into the eyes of a stranger – and honor the connection that we all share.
It’s said that the sacred white calf is very rare, indeed – occurring only once in an estimated 10 million births, and carrying this gift of an everlasting peace. Some believe it to be our greatest prophecy, calling upon all nations to consider the depth of it’s meaning.
From Chief Arvol Looking Horse and his hope for restoring the ‘wholeness’ of this Earth:
My Relatives,
Time has come to speak to the hearts of our Nations and their Leaders. I ask you this from the bottom of my heart, to come together from the Spirit of your Nations in prayer.
We, from the heart of Turtle Island, have a great message for the World; we are guided to speak from all the White Animals showing their sacred color, which have been signs for us to pray for the sacred life of all things.
The dangers we are faced with at this time are not of spirit, mistakes that we cannot afford to continue to make.
I asked, as Spiritual Leaders, that we join together, united in prayer with the whole of our Global Communities. My concern is these serious issues will continue to worsen, as a domino effect that our Ancestors have warned us of in their Prophecies.
I know in my heart there are millions of people that feel our united prayers for the sake of our Grandmother Earth are long overdue. I believe we as Spiritual people must gather ourselves and focus our thoughts and prayers to allow the healing of the many wounds that have been inflicted on the Earth.
As we honor the Cycle of Life, let us call for Prayer circles globally to assist in healing Grandmother Earth (our Unc¹I Maka), and that we may also seek to live in harmony, as we make the choice to change the destructive path we are on.
As we pray, we will fully understand that we are all connected. And that what we create can have lasting effects on all life.
So let us unite spiritually, All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer. Along with this immediate effort, I also ask to please remember World Peace and Prayer Day/ Honoring Sacred Sites day. Whether it is a natural site, a temple, a church, a synagogue or just your own sacred space, let us make a prayer for all life, for good decision making by our Nations, for our children¹s future and well-being, and the generations to come.
Onipikte (that we shall live)”
Mitakuye oyasin – and, namaste my friends.
