You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.
Now you must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour.
And there are things to be considered:
Where are you living? What are you doing?
What are your relationships? Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.
It is time to speak your Truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader.
This could be a good time!
There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart, and they will suffer greatly.
Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water. See who is in there with you and celebrate.
At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally.
Least of all, ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt. The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!
Banish the word "struggle" from your attitude and your vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we've been waiting for.

the world has never been without teachers and messengers who's prime responsibility is to deliver the most needed message of the age. "And for every nation there is a messenger ... " affirms Quran (10.47). each age has its teachers. Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad were some of the great ones, but there are always qutubs, special beings who take care of the world. there is something very special about native people because the wisdom of the land are generally spring from there. in every native community such teachers exist who speak from the depth of their spirit, or in another way to put it, they speak from the Universal Soul.
each age has its message. there are moments when a particular teacher of the age will speak the message of the age exactly reflecting the need of the time. and when one read this profound message of Hopi Elder from Oraibi region of Arizona, one with enough intuition can tell this is the message of our age.
look at every words how deep wisdom outpoured as revelation here.
in an age of sickening selfish individualism fused with blind material pursuit, an age of massive self centered delusion that substituted consumerism for true happiness, hoarding more for soulful joy of sharing - it is a message to remind that the time of lone wolf better be over. people must gather themselves.
what struck me in the message of the Hopi elder is the call to build community which our beloved Shaykh in Jerusalem, Sidi al-Jamal, may God be satisfied with him, also has been talking and encouraging even students / disciples in United States to build own spiritual community. Shadhiliyya Sufi Center East is one of such community.
we are to take nothing personally. nothing belongs to us anyway. all that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
the evolution of human consciousness is progressing at the fastest pace than any other time in human history - thus each member of humanity must awaken to this realization that: "We are the ones we've been waiting for." On the same note, the sufis remind all: "The perfect man, the complete man lies within each of us". Indeed "we are the ones we've been waiting for!"
