Omens for Our Planetary Future
For one hundred years now wise teachers and elders have urged, “We must bring together the spirituality of the East, With the energy and material mastery of the West.” The Tibetan Oracle said: “When the iron horse flies, The dharma will come to the Land of the Red Man.” This prophecy has come to pass. And behold, a new vision arises, for a new century: The people of the Northern nations Will relate with respect and justice, Not violence and greed, To the uncounted millions of the Southern countries, And the land, the forests and riches of the earth. The prophet seers of the Incas say: “The Condor of the South and Eagle of the North Will fly together in freedom.” The visionary serpent vine says: “The Bear and the Wolf of the North, And Jaguar and Lion of the South Will track together and hunt together, For vibrant life and healing knowledge. The great Serpent of the Amazon forest, The wise Turtle of the California desert, Will share their ancient secrets again, With humans humble enough to want to learn To live in balance with one another, And with the Earth, Great Goddess Mother of All the Living, Embracing and nourishing all her children. --Ralph Metzner (Ayahuasca, 2003)
