We have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour. Now you
must go back and tell 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 the 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 onto 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, and push off and into the river.
Keep our eyes open, and our heads above 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 you do now must be done in a sacred manner and in Celebration.
