I want to bring your attention to the traditional (hereafter simply Hopi) Hopi message that the world may transform radically by the end of the Hopi/Mayan calendar, December 21, 2012.  I visited the Hopi in 1998-1999 in Flagstaff, AZ.  Though they never talked about their prophesy with me, I was confronted with their book at the first onset, Hotevilla by Mails/Evehema.  In this book the spiritually advanced traditional Hopi prophesy WWIII on page 35 in a glyph on a 1000 year old pictograph on a rock on the reservation.  For details on this please Google 'Hopi prophesy rock', where websites spell this out.  See a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srYoI3LOzCY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srYoI3LOzCY>  The Hopi accurately prophesied WWI and II before they occurred and boldly told the US President at that time (I think it was Taft) and were ignored.  It is wise not to ignore the Hopi.  Their prophesies usually come true.

The point of the book, and the point that was so clear when I was in Flagstaff, is that Western "civilization" has created a real mess of native Hopi life.  The BIA, Peabody Coal and the churches have done irreparable harm to the traditional, ceremonial way of life of the traditional Hopi.  Now the Hopi are the nation's spiritual elders... when their ceremonial life is damaged, so goes the nation.  They are afraid for themselves and for us.

The subtitle of Hotevilla is 'microcosm of the world' and what they seem to mean by that is that every community in the Global South has or will experience this kind of maltreatment from the US military-industrial complex.  War, wage slavery (and other forms of deregulation for outsourced markets), environmental racism (climate change, mining tailings, pesti/herbicides, factory river/air pollution, illegal dumping, Monsanto madness, etc), relocation of native people, crippling debt via the IMF/World Bank, US support of (military) dictatorships have all been felt by the Global South.  This is our hallmark in the developing world.  All because we can get away with it.  This is all in a quest for profit.  You see, profit is like a spell cast over people, because in essence, it causes slavery.  With profit, you get something, for nothing.  If everyone were a wage earner, we would all gain more based on skill alone.  Essentially, we would all be financially equal.  What the Hopi are exposing, what they are declaring in that the emperor wears no clothes, is that we can avoid WWIII through reason.  We can recognize the dangers to humanity and the environment that business and the military and churches cause, and make changes for a good world, and not go through WWIII.

The Hopi allude to the interesting point that there is one thing we haven't thought of... the Chinese.  We have an odd behavior with them.  We are shtuping them with wage slavery on one hand, and borrowing money we don't plan on paying back with the other.  Furthermore, we are defending Taiwan, and could go to war with Iran, an oil source for China.  To add fuel  to the fire, the Chinese are schooled Marxists.  They are very familiar with the machinations of neo-fascist capitalism.  And they have an army much larger than ours.  They are hacking into our military, medical and engineering secrets.  Plus, oil, water and mineral resources are being scrambled for by hegemonies worldwide.  Add to that the global debt crisis.  On top of it all, they have some of our nuclear weapons secrets.  Further add the proliferation of nuclear weapons in the developing world in India, North Korea, Pakistan and possibly Iran, for example.

The Hopi say that on Purification Day a 'red army' will cover the Earth like red ants.  This is thought to mean that at a certain turning point Russia, China and their allies (perhaps Latin American) will rout the US and her allies and conquer the world, WWIII.  Whether this prophesy is a deterrent to help us get our act together or if this is simply the bitter truth, I do not know.  I suspect the former, knowing the Hopi, but don't rule out the latter, knowing the Republican Party and American business.  In any event, we seem to be in real trouble here.  As time continues and it seems more and more obvious that we will go to war with China et al, be prepared.  Don't go to war.  Negotiate.  Have talks and negotiate.  We are all living on one small planet, and it is time that we work together, brother with brother.  Common fellowship is inevitable anyway, do it before we all perish.  If you wait until the last minute and focus on fighting a war with the Chinese and Russians, I suspect it will end in thermonuclear war.  The time to act is now, to relieve the burdens of those that need our help the most in the developing world, of those we have hurt the most.  That is what will save us, and humanity, in my opinion and experience.

I picture to myself what friends and family would say to me after the Chinese invaded, asking why I didn't do more to cry out, since I knew.  I have been very vocal about this, and I recognize that a prophesy is difficult to be sure about.  However, you can look at the facts.  The developing world is slave to a relative few in this country and Europe, and powerful in Asia.  America is in a funny position with China.  The environment is very, very tired.  1.2 billion people globally are on the edge of starvation every day.  Clearly, we are at a tipping point, and we have been for some time.  Perhaps China is ready to cut the strings of the puppet master. 

It is an interesting thing to note that in spite of all of these facts the Mayans, cousin to the Hopi, insist that we will transition to world peace at the end of the calendar without world war.  Perhaps the Occupy the World miracle/Arab Spring and other movements of sustainability on a personal level around the world are supporting the Mayan prophesy.  I suspect that is possible, but we have some hurdles to jump, and time is running out.  The Mayans have this to say:

While it is clear we are living in times of great uncertainty and great imbalance, we need to realize that terrorizing ourselves by energizing fear-based rumors does not assist us in rising to the great challenges we face. Fear is a primal universal human reality, based on understanding how vulnerable we actually are, yet we need to understand that if we believe in all the fear thoughts, we can easily become shut down, delusional or reactionary in ways that feed the fear and lead us further into darkness.

In this time of prophecy, we need to move from motivating ourselves not from fear, but from awareness. To navigate these critical times on earth, in addition to our discernment and our intuition, we must find our hearts and follow their inspiration, for they are our purest guides and can help us tune into our unique path of service.

When we contemplate what the world might be like beyond 2012, let us be clear that no one can predict the specifics of how things may appear as we enter this new cycle, or whether the transformations still to come may emerge gradually or swiftly. Everything depends on how conscious we can become as a species, and how we all contribute to this process of awakening our human potential. The details of how this new era may actually manifest is up to the merits of our collective creativity and the possible breakthroughs which can unfold through our resourcefulness and ingenuity.

Carlos Barrios, from the Eagle Clan of the Mam Maya of Guatemala shares in regards to 2012:

"The world will not end. It will be transformed... Everything will change...Change is accelerating now, and it will continue to accelerate...If the people of the earth can get to this 2012 date in good shape, without having destroyed too much of the Earth, we will rise to a new, higher level. But to get there we must transform enormously powerful forces that seek to block the way...Humanity will continue, but in a different way. Material structures will change. From this we will have the opportunity to be more human..."

In any event, it is time to stand strong for peace and justice, the world over.  It should be noted that the Hopi are a holy people, they are the nation's spiritual elders, and the last thing they want is to see WWIII.  They have been protesting nuclear weapons and WWIII since WWII, and have been to the UN (the house of mica) four times to make this protest official.

I have paranoid schizophrenia (medicated), and I want to share that fact since this is a weighty topic with lots of responsibility...

It is my opinion that 'work' is at the heart of this problem.  Here is a four point program for our future, a mustard seed of wisdom:

1.  Let's begin a program of socialism for 2.5 months of the year or 2 days per week for anyone who wants to volunteer for it (and thus benefit from it in food, housing benefits, transportation, medicine, education, etc) to keep the trains running on time.  This socialist program can embrace participatory economics, anarchist wisdom, native wisdom and socialist wisdom in economics, and even free market wisdom in business.  The idea is to create an efficient, livable, effective, wise and environmentally friendly global workplace for taking care of our global needs.  Our socialist program needs to set the laws for energy and transportation, such as high speed rail and renewable energy.  Global needs need to set the precedent before wants.
2.  Gear colleges, universities and trade schools to help us unlock the real dreams of our hearts for the rest of our work time, while guiding us through counselors and native elders how to be of service to humanity via our dreams, in harmony with nature.  It doesn't matter what we do, as long as we love what we do, it is a service to others, and it is in harmony with nature.  Native people will have this opportunity to continue their native life unabated if they choose.
3.  Let's develop a worldly zeitgeist regarding population control.  Our planet is finite, and we need to limit the number of families we allow to live here... the Earth can only take so much!
4.  Understanding of the chakra system should be taught by ancient cultures and traditions such as Tibetans, Hopi, Hebrew and Hindu.  The reason for this is that the chakras (through meditation, Reiki, Chi, Qi Gong, yoga, Wicca, etc) unlock the inner voice, allowing you to understand right from wrong from the spirit within. We all have chakras, they are simply the nerve bundles and glands along our spine and in the palms and soles of our feet.  Opening these chakras to the Spirit can be taught to anyone.  One easy beginning lesson for this is called the Tai Chi energy ball. Here are the instructions for the Tai Chi Energy Ball.  Remember, don't open up your spinal chakras too quickly, as it will cause mental and/or physical illness.  Neurons take a long time to soften and open up (like 6-12 months).  Work with a trained meditation teacher for more, although this gives you language for it.
Take a deep breath.  Relax.  Gently bring your palms together to within 2 inches of each other.  You should feel a buoyancy between your palms like two north poles of a magnet.  You may also feel some heat.  Hang out here for a little while.  This is the same feeling you will feel in the chakras along your spine.

Now, drag the backs of your fingers across your palms, stimulating your nerve plexi.  This should feel like the prickly feeling when you come in from the cold on a winters day and run cold water on your hand.  Do this for 30 seconds.  Now, bring your palms together again, 4-5 inches apart.  You should feel a large ball of energy between your palms, a Tai Chi energy ball.

Also, the feeling of love is important.  It brings you into harmony with the world, and synchronistic events that help you and the world around you.  To help you with this, spend time alone now and then curled up in a ball just allowing yourself to feel love for yourself until your heart feels radiant love for yourself.  This will help you so much in life.

One day, when all people have an understanding of their chakras, we will no longer need law.  We will all know what to do, and we will live in paradise. 

In short, you know you are politically successful when we, the people of the world, are celebrating and we are in balance with nature.

I have some political questions to sum up, I would love a response:

Do US corporations benefit from 2 billion people living in severe poverty in the world?  If so, why?  Who is fighting against this, and how can we help change this?  What is the CIA, DIA and NSA doing that is undermining the political freedoms of political groups of the developing world and why?  How can we change that?  Why is America addicted to war?  What is the psychological Nazi-like American fever for war, and how can that be changed to peace?  Why are "Christians" so pro-death; ie pro war, pro death penalty, meat eating, anti gun control, anti environmental, etc. ?  Why do white people in America often denigrate people of different cultures and colors around the world, to the point that they don't care about wage slavery conditions in China and other developing world places that we benefit from in the market?  How can this change?  Why isn't this talked about in the news, or why aren't books written about wage slavery?  Why don't we care about the environment in the Global South, which we affect by global warming?  Why are corporations so locked in to avoid using renewable resources, and how can we look at profitable markets for solar, wind, geothermal and high speed rail?  Why are we so clearly racist that we don't care about 4.5 billion people, in so many ways?  Why do we make psychedelic drugs, ie marijuana, mushrooms, peyote, etc that open the mind and soul to wisdom illegal?  Are we trying to avoid common paths to wisdom?

May all love and peace be with you.

Here is some reference material to back up my claims:

All of the Hopi information can be found in Hotevilla: Hopi Shrine of the Covenant : Microcosm of the World by Thomas E. Mails and Dan Evehema, and by Googling Hopi Prophesy Rock to match page 35, the Hopi prophesy rock.  See also  Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins  US war on the developing world has been documented in the papers for over a hundred years.  It is interesting to note that the Hopi prophesied WWI and II before they occurred, and reported this to the then President.  For this, they were imprisoned.  There is a book called Killing Hope: U.S. Military and C.I.A. Interventions Since World Wa... by William Blum that describes constant war by the US since WWII toward the developing world. 

Wage slavery in the Global South is very, very hard to prove, but it is likely prevalent.  There is a good book on it called Made in China: Women Factory Workers in a Global Workplace by Ngai Pun.  See also The Story of Stuff: The Impact of Overconsumption on the Planet, Ou... by Annie Leonard  See United Students Against Sweatshops:  http://usas.org/
