Mother Nature is sick and tired of the human race polluting her earth, her rivers and her atmosphere, destroying the planet. Earth is revolting against against the onslaught that is poisoning her.
NATIVE AMERICAN PROPHECY
American Indians are a diverse ethnic group. Their languages, customs, social systems varied greatly. One common characteristic found in many Indian nations was an affinity to the spiritual side of life. Out of this came man prophecies.
One of the most fascinating set of prophecies comes out of the Hopi nation located in the Southwestern United States. Many prophecies foretold by the Hopi appear to have come true. Some of these are:
"The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This the elders everywhere know. The Signs over many years have been fulfilled, and so few are left.
"This is the First Sign: We are told of the coming of the white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana men who took the land that was not theirs. And men who struck their enemies with thunder.
"This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices. In his youth, my father saw this prophecy come true with his eyes -- the white men bringing their families in wagons across the prairies."
"This is the Third Sign: A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers. These White Feather saw with his eyes -- the coming of the white men's cattle."
"This is the Fourth Sign: The land will be crossed by snakes of iron."
"This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider's web."
"This is the Sixth sign: The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun."
"This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it."
"This is the Eight Sign: You will see many youth, who wear their hair long like my people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn their ways and wisdom.
"And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease.
"These are the Signs that great destruction is coming. The world shall rock to and fro. The white man will battle against other people in other lands -- with those who possessed the first light of wisdom. There will be many columns of smoke and fire such as White Feather has seen the white man make in the deserts not far from here. Only those which come will cause disease and a great dying.
Overall, the theme of Hopi prophecy is that the Earth is going to soon go through a great purification and that humanity can make the decision as to how extreme this purification will be. Their belief is that the world goes through a period of destruction and renewal and that we are about to enter into a new age, the 5th world (or 6th depending upon the source).

Die, Humans! Is Mother Nature Sick of Us?

- According to James Lovelock's new book "The Vanishing Face of Gaia: A Final Warning," humanity is "Earth's infection" and mother nature may be trying to shake us just like the flu.
While in theory it would be extremely difficult to truly destroy this planet, it's not such a stretch for some scientists to imagine us making it a place that doesn't support humans. The planet would go on, the thinking goes, but it'd get rid of us much like we shake the flu.
Lovelock's thinking is that our increasing presence is getting things so out of whack that, in the manner of a human immune system, the planet has no choice but to respond. "There is nothing humans can do to reverse the process; the planet is simply too overpopulated to halt its own destruction by greenhouse gases. In order to survive, mankind must start preparing now for life on a radically changed planet." ... Read full article »

NATIVE AMERICAN PROPHECY

But first, we have a place here. We belong on Earth and for a time Earth loved us, needed us, used us, and we in turn loved used and needed the Earth. But that time has long since passed. Now, yes, we have mutated and reproduced at such a rapid rate that we are like a virus. We're everywhere, and we've denied our proper function and place here on the planet Earth. We have become destructive to our surroundings and our ecosystem like a disease, rather than a functioning part of a whole.
We've forgotten our place.
And I'd actually like to bring the Bible into this, as is the relevant bit I mentioned earlier. No, I do not believe in some all-seeing sky god. However, I do believe that the authors of the Bible had a vital message to deliver, and they did so very well, they spread the message. But it, like any great piece of fiction, ended up obscuring its own truth from us almost indefinitely.
The Bible is the story of the humans deceit, and turning away from Nature, the one source of life and sustenance. It is the story of how we turned our backs to our rightful and proper place within the forever and all-seeing intelligent, all-encompassing eye of Nature. No matter how w...

But it, like any great piece of fiction, ended up obscuring its own truth from us almost indefinitely.
The Bible is the story of the humans deceit, and turning away from Nature, the one source of life and sustenance. It is the story of how we turned our backs to our rightful and proper place within the forever and all-seeing intelligent, all-encompassing eye of Nature. No matter how we romanticize it, Nature is the supreme force, there is no God (not the way the Christians see it - this force - anyhow), and we have turned our backs on God even if there was one.
The Bible is a warning to us as children of the Earth. If we continue to deny our rightful place in Nature, it will be our ultimate destruction. You're right - it is not about the destruction of the world, just the destruction of the world as we know it. The world will live on. It is US who will die. It is us who will disappear off this map and Nature, forever prevalent, will devise a new species that will hopefully do our job better.
And our job, our place, wasn't that hard. It wasn't that unpleasant. Things have been getting worse for everyone since we decided to remove ourselves from Nature, as if there was any other place for us. Think of the story of Adam and Eve. They had everything. They wanted more, and so God "cast them out of the Garden". God didn't cast us out.
We decided we didn't want to live in accordance with natural law, and because Nature rules and Nature writes the coding, it didn't want to work for us by our rules. We don't get to make the fucking rules but for the past few centuries we damn well have been trying to tell Nature how it should function. We are out of line. Nature sees and feels it. And yes, Nature has had enough time to devise a plan to get rid of us - us the part that is no longer needed.
The only way to save ourselves is to stop. Now. Go back to our place in Nature, where we were needed, and see if that place is still accepting and open to us. Otherwise, yes, we will be wiped off the face of the Earth like the scum we have become.
Part of me refuses to believe we can't go back because I yearn for that.. yearn for that and green rolling hills and a real purpose. Not the non-purpose of a life of lost wanderers. We might as well be nomads in space. But I don't see that either.
According to this article, the planet is going to change. We might not survive, at least not all of us. We'll have to see who or what the planet favors. But I believe that the efforts to change and be good to the Earth are still all-important. If we curb our horror right now and get to work, get right on it, then at least maybe the planet will not change so drastically. Maybe it will still support some life. (human life) As I said before, it is only the world as we know it that will change.
We have become the garbage collectors and dumpers who know better.
