Sacred Visions of an Apache Elder
By Tom Brown Jr. (1991), from Nexus Magazine, Volume 7,
Number 1 (Dec '99 - Jan '00) December
22, 1923
In the 1920s, an Apache wise man had a Vision of four
prophecies that foretold death and destruction for mankind unless we
incorporate Spirit in our daily lives. Two of these prophecies may already have
come true.
A number of people can predict the future, but few get the
timing correct. "Grandfather" was an Apache wise man and scout, named
Stalking Wolf, who grew up outside white man's influence. His many predictions
not only came true in the manner he predicted, but also when he predicted.
Grandfather had been wandering for several years and was
well into his forties when the Vision of the four signs was given to him. He had just finished his third Vision,
Quest at the EternalCave, when the Vision made itself known. He had been seated
at the mouth of the cave, awaiting the rising Sun, when the spirit of the
warrior appeared to him. He felt as if he were in a state somewhere between
dream and reality, sleep and wakefulness, until the spirit finally spoke and he
knew that it was not his imagination. The spirit called Grandfather's name and
beckoned him to follow.
As Grandfather stood, he was
suddenly transported to another world. Again, he thought that he was dreaming,
but his flesh could feel the reality of this place. His senses knew that this was a state of
abject reality but in another time and place. The spirit warrior spoke to
Grandfather. "These are the things yet to come that will mark the
destruction of man. These things you may never see, but you must work to stop
them and pass these warnings on to your grandchildren. They are the possible
futures of what will come if man does not come back to the Earth and begin to obey the laws of Creation and
the Creator. There are four signs, four warnings, that only the
children of the Earth will understand. Each warning marks the beginning of a
possible future and, as each warning becomes reality so, too, does the future
it marks"...
The First Sign
"Welcome to what will be called the 'land of
starvation'. The world will one day look
upon all of this with horror and will blame the famine on the weather and the
Earth. This will be the first warning to the world that man cannot live beyond
the laws of Creation, nor can he fight Nature...
There will come starvation before and after this
starvation, but none will capture the attention of the world with such impact
as does this one. The children of the Earth will know the lessons that are held
in all of this pain and death, but the world will only see it as drought and
famine, blaming Nature instead of itself"...
In his dream, the spirit spoke to Grandfather. "It is during
the years of the famine, the first sign, that man will be plagued by a disease,
a disease that will sweep the land and terrorize the masses. The white coats
[doctors/scientists] will have no answers for the people, and a great cry will
arise across the land. The disease will be born of monkeys, drugs and sex. It
will destroy man from inside, making common sickness a killing disease. Mankind
will bring this disease upon himself as a result of his life, his worship of
sex and drugs, and a life away from Nature. This, too, is a part of the first
warning but, again, man will not heed this warning and he will continue to worship
the false gods of sex and the unconscious spirit of drugs." [Author's
note: This is presumably a reference to AIDS.]
The Second Sign
The spirit looked at Grandfather for a long
moment, then finally spoke. "Holes in the sky... will become the second sign of the
destruction of man. The holes in the sky and all that you have seen could
become man's reality. It is here, at the beginning of this second sign, that
man can no longer heal the Earth with physical action. It is here that man must
heed the warning and work harder to change the future at hand. But man must not
only work physically, he must also work spiritually, through prayer, for only
through prayer can man now hope to heal the Earth and himself. These holes are a direct result of man's
life, his travel, and of the sins of his grandfathers and grandmothers.
These holes, the
second sign, will mark the killing of his grandchildren and will become a
legacy to man's life away from Nature. It is the time of these holes that will
mark a great transition in mankind's thinking. They will then be faced with a
choice - a choice to continue following the path of destruction or a choice to
move back to the philosophy of the Earth and a simpler existence. It is here
that the decision must be made or all will be lost"... [A reference to
harmful radiation from holes in the ozone layer caused by burning fossil
fuels.]
The Third Sign
Grandfather spent the next four days at the
cave entrance, though for those four days nothing spoke to him, not even the
Earth. He said that it was a time of great sorrow, of aloneness and a time to
digest all that had taken place. He knew
that these things would not appear in his lifetime, but they had to be passed
down to the people of the future with the same urgency and power with which
they had been delivered to him but he did not know how he would explain these
unlikely events to anyone. Surely the elders and shamans of the tribes would
understand but not society, and certainly not anyone who was removed from the
Earth and Spirit. He sat for the full four days, unmoving, as if made of stone
and his heart felt heavy with the burden he now carried.
It was at the end of the fourth day that the third Vision came to him. As he gazed out onto the landscape towards
the setting Sun, the sky suddenly turned to a liquid and then turned blood-red.
As far as his eyes could see, the sky was solid red, with no variation in
shadow, texture or light. The whole of Creation seemed to have grown still, as
if awaiting some unseen command. Time, place and destiny seemed to be in limbo,
stilled by the bleeding sky. He gazed for a long time at the sky in a state of awe and
terror, for the red color of the sky was like nothing he had ever seen in any
sunset or sunrise. The color was that of man, not of Nature, and it had a vile
stench and texture. It seemed to burn the Earth wherever it touched. As sunset
drifted to night, the stars shone bright red, the color never leaving the sky,
and everywhere the cries of fear and pain were heard.
Again, the warrior spirit appeared to Grandfather, but this
time as a voice from the sky. Like thunder, the voice shook the landscape. "This, then,
is the third sign, the night of the bleeding stars. It will become known
throughout the world for the sky in all lands will be red with the blood of the
sky, day and night. It is then, with this sign of the third probable future,
that there is no longer hope. Life on the Earth as man has lived it will come
to an end and there can be no turning back, physically or spiritually. It is
then, if things are not changed during the second sign, that man will surely
know the destruction of the Earth is at hand. It is then that the children of
the Earth must run to the wild places and hide for when the sky bleeds fire, there
will be no safety in the world of man."
Grandfather sat in shocked horror as the voice continued. "From this
time, when the stars bleed, to the fourth and final sign will be four seasons
of peace [that is one year].
It is in these four seasons that the children of the Earth must live deep in
the wild places and find a new home, close to the Earth and the Creator. It is
only the children of the Earth that will survive, and they must live the
philosophy of the Earth, never returning to the thinking of man. And survival
will not be enough, for the children of the Earth must also live close to the
Spirit. So tell them not to hesitate if and when this third sign becomes
manifest in the stars, for there are but four seasons to escape." Grandfather said that the voice and red sky lingered for a
week, and then were gone as quickly as they were manifest.
The Fourth Sign
He did not remember how many days he'd spent
at the mouth of the cave nor did it make a difference, for he had received the
Vision he had come for. It was in his
final night at the EternalCave that the fourth Vision came to Grandfather, this
time carried by the voice of a young child.
The child said, "The fourth and final sign will appear through the next
ten winters [that is, ten years] following the night that the stars will bleed.
During this time, the Earth will heal itself and man will die. For those ten
years, the children of the Earth must remain hidden in the wild places, make no
permanent camps, and wander to avoid contact with the last remaining forces of
man. They must remain hidden, like the ancient scouts, and fight the urge to go
back to the destruction of man. Curiosity could kill many."
There was a long silence until Grandfather spoke to the
child spirit, asking, "And what will happen to the worlds of
man?" There was another period of
silence until finally the child spoke again. "There will be a great famine throughout
the world, like man cannot imagine. Waters will run vile, the poisons of man's
sins running strong in the waters of the soils, lakes and rivers. Crops will
fail, the animals of man will die, and disease will kill the masses. The
grandchildren will feed upon the remains of the dead, and all about will be the
cries of pain and anguish. Roving bands of men will hunt and kill other men for
food, and water will always be scarce, getting scarcer with each passing year.
The land, the water, the sky will all be poisoned, and man will live in the
wrath of the Creator. Man will hide at first in the cities, but there he will
die. A few will run to the wilderness, but the wilderness will destroy them,
for they had long ago been given a choice. Man will be destroyed, his cities in
ruin, and it is then that the grandchildren will pay for the sins of their
grandfathers and grandmothers."
"Is there then no hope?" Grandfather asked. The child spoke again. "There
is only hope during the time of the first and second signs. Upon the third
sign, the night of the bleeding, there is no longer hope for only the children
of the Earth will survive. Man will be given these warnings. If unheeded, there can be no hope for only
the children of the Earth will purge themselves of the cancers of mankind, of
mankind's destructive thinking. It will be the children of the Earth who will
bring a new hope to the new society, living closer to the Earth and
Spirit."
Then all was silent.
The landscape cleared and returned to normal, and Grandfather stepped
from the Vision. Shaken, he said that he had wandered for the next season,
trying to understand all that had been given to him, trying to understand why
he had been chosen. Grandfather had
related the story to me in great detail during that night of the four
prophecies. I don't think that any event had been left out, and his emotions
and thoughts were such that he actually relived it for us. Thus the power of
his Vision became part of our spirit, our driving force, and a big part of our
fears. I sat for a long time up on the
hill. The fire had gone out, and all had retired to sleep for the night.
Creation seemed to be at a stand still, awaiting this darkest part of the night
to pass by. I felt alone and vulnerable as if all of Creation were scrutinizing
my every thought.
Grandfather had this Vision some time in the 1920s.
Analysis
The prophetic accuracy of Stalking Wolf's visions are quite
stunningly clear thus far, both in their highly detailed descriptions and sequence
of events as presented to the young Tom Brown and friends. Here is the
prophesied timeline as interpreted in the context of the ongoing magnetic polar
reversal:
1st Sign............ 1975 - 1985 . African famine and AIDS
spread
2nd Sign........... 1985 - 1995 . Holes form in Earth's
ozone layer, permitting destructive solar rays
3rd Sign...........
Dec 22, 2012 . Magnetic reversal ignites a plasma canopy seen as red skies
worldwide
4th
Sign............ 2012 - 2022 . Large-scale destruction of low-resonance human
technology ensues
This interpretation of the timeline of Grandfather's
visions is based on the notion that
plasmas in our skies (now seen as auroras) will become more and
more visible, eventually forming a complete canopy enveloping Earth. Identical
scenarios of firestorms and the Red Dawn are prophesied by several other
indigenous traditions from the Americas, including the
Hopi,
Sioux and
Maya.
Contemporary solar
scientists as well as Mayan timekeepers are predicting the most intense solar
event in the history of humanity culminating in a system-wide magnetic reversal
involving all of Sol's planets on December
22, 2012. The Prophecy of the Night of the Red Skies predicts an
atmospheric change of epic proportions in our imminent future, however without
providing a specific date after which time humanity is advised to abandon his
technological traps before they become lethal.
The precursors of this oncoming
energy wave are already manifesting as the electromagnetically oriented
patterns of weather, animal and plant activity around the world are collapsing.
Even more specific to the prophetic warnings are recent incidents of anomalous
electric fires, such as the igniting cell phones and shavers in
Vallejo,
California, as well as in the
Berici Hills of northern Italy and
Messina, Sicily.
The changing ambient conditions of Earth are mitigated by
the world's gigantic pyramidal transducers of infrasound, the
Orion pyramids at Giza, which serve to balance the energy moving through
our planet to reduce erratic earthquakes. This energetic build-up process has
already reached evacuation levels in various parts of the world. Piezoelectric
firestorms are concurrently being experienced in waves of erratic activity,
also measured as infrasound pulsation, in
Ratria, India,
Bodibe,
South Africa,
Seattle and
Santa
Barbara, USA.
