Time of Purification

America is dying from within, because the instructions for how to live on Earth have been forgotten, says Sioux elder Floyd Red Crow Westerman. And if the waters are corrupted -- as we're seeing now -- there will be a reaction from Earth. There's wisdom here to draw from, with America in its Pluto return -- a time of death and rebirth -- and Pluto in deep Earth Capricorn.

If you think about Pluto as the extreme purifier, it's significant that the Hopi and others talk of this as the time of purification. There's a shudder thinking of it, as it hints at being forced to change our ways -- what we already know, but are struggling to put into practice. The indigenous wisdom of living lightly while on the Earth, in interdependent communities, and respecting nature and all life as sacred, has that core message. We're being stripped of what's ungrounded us, and created false realities that don't support Earth, only take from it.

In her book Deep Cinema: Film as Shamanic Initiation, Mary Trainor-Brigham talks about how what she calls the mutant Marketplace has overtaken Nature and ungrounded us. She writes, "One way we can bear this distinction in mind is to think of the origins of Wall Street. This raucous, sometimes cut-throat, modern-day signifier of economic fortunes was named after the barricade the Dutch settlers used as a divide from Indigenous Lenape natives."

Floyd Red Crow Westerman says they were told as a tribe "that we would see America come and go." It's timely that he talks of the water, and how we're mostly water, and to stay healthy, we need to drink good water. He says, "When the Europeans first came here, Columbus, we could drink out of any river. If the Europeans had lived the Indian way when they came, we'd still be drinking out of the waters."

But this is not an "end is near" message, just that great evolution of the Earth is upon us. The Gulf disaster could be an extinction level event, and here we look to those that were nearly extinguished themselves -- the first peoples of America. I sense this, as a big theme now, that we all are facing survival fears, which can be a moment of spiritual epiphany. If we go through those fears, we can emerge knowing there's more to what we see in 3D, and a spirit world where we rest before going on. Says Westerman, "There is never something like the end. Like life, there is no end to life."
