“Brothers and Sisters of all colors, holding hands around the planet
on May 22nd 2007, let us reflect on this, let us meditate in our own
way, in our own language, according to our own culture or religion,
because we have only one Sun to shine upon us equally, one air that
we breath and gives us life, one water that we drink and becomes
blood in our veins and all live on Mother Earth. She feeds us, she
holds us. Brothers and Sisters of all colors, together united in
meditation to make conscience to the men in power, governors,
politicians, business people: no more war, no more contaminating
bombs, no more death. Together we can make a difference.”
Dear Brothers Joseph and Carl (Giove and Calleman):
In the name of the Heart of the Heavens and the Heart of the Earth,
greetings to you. In the name of the Maya National Council of
Elders, Spiritual Guides of Guatemala, we address the following to
you for your great magnetic connections at the global level:
The Spirit of the Maya Nation and the Spirit of Mother Earth make us
look for ties of friendship with all peoples of the world. The Maya
Prophecy tells us “ …We will meet for we are one like the fingers
of the hand”. We all are children of the Earth, we are flowers of
the garden of our Creator coming in different colors, in different
shapes, in different sizes, with different aromas; speaking different
languages, and each one worshiping and meditating in their own way to
the same Creator who has different names according to their own culture.
We hope this communiqué reaches all institutions, in private sectors
as well as governmental ones; landowners, scientists, and all people
in general. Brothers and sisters, there has been over 500 years of
extermination in the face of the earth, extermination of humans,
extermination of our brother animals and ancient trees, every day at
a faster speed. The elders from the National Council of Elders and
Spiritual Guides of Guatemala are keepers of mystical and millenary
knowledge. Like the birds, tirelessly in their flight, they live to
see the prophecies fulfilled. We want to make all people and
governments in the world conscientious, and have them analyze and
reflect at the situation of the planet in the present time. Let us
start by remembering that the Americas were a paradise 500 years ago.
Virgin forests, cities of beautiful animals, cities to an innumerable
variety of colorful birds, flying in freedom; they provided food for
everyone. The waters were abundant and pure; and the people, they
lived in their own traditions, guarding their cultures and conserving
the beauty of Mother Earth. Our ancestors lived to be over 100 years
old, free from contagion and illnesses. They were respectful and
obedient to the laws of our Creator.
Let us talk now about our present times. We enjoy new advances in
technology, inventions that make everyday life easier for us, we all
use them, but the negative side is that we are finishing up our
forests, and contributing to the contamination of the planet, the
rivers are drying out, the waters are being contaminated. Our crops
are affected by plagues as well as plagues killing our animals. We
are threatened by contagious illnesses, incurable illnesses unknown
in the past. Very harmful are the use of chemicals, the insecticides,
transgenic seeds, etc. And most of all, these days, the nuclear
testing: nuclear bombs and a great deal of war weapons, and the war
in itself sterilizing or killing the planet Earth and affecting all
living beings. Many people are homeless, children begging in the
streets, others are involved in prostitution. Predators are on the
rise. Dead people appearing daily in the streets, kidnappings,
extortion, shootings in the schools, parents killing children,
children killing children, parents raping their own kids. All this
is a direct result of the contamination. There is no respect; no
respect for life. The authorities sell themselves. The justice can be
bought or sold.
Now lets speak about the future. We, the traditional Mayan elders,
and all indigenous peoples in the world, meditate on the future. We
don’t think only for today, the present, we think for tomorrow, for
our children, grand children and future generations. We see a dark
shadow approaching, a shadow that will cause a lot of harm. It is the
great contamination. All this is due to man’s creation. We are
digging our own graves. Wars are being transported to other
countries; they reason in their speeches it is on behalf of freedom,
but the result is more slavery. They speak that it will bring new
development, but the result is more hunger for the underdeveloped
countries. If we continue like this, the time will come when there
are no more soldiers to form battalions. The Maya National Council of
Elders of Guatemala ask all nations of the world – their governors
and the governed ones – to put a stop to the contamination; and to
the big and small enterprises, to find alternatives. We don’t want
any more wars, no more death, no more nuclear testing, no more
chemicals, because the warming up of the planet is unbearable to
Mother Earth. If we don’t change, sooner or later, she will strike
back with millions of lives lost.
Our Creator created us here over the face of the earth to worship
him, to love and respect each other. We all are equal, we are flowers
of the earth, in different sizes, of different colors, with different
songs, with different smell, but all looking at our Creator, honoring
him with different dances, different music, different ceremonies. We
all plead to him,
we are his children, he is the creator of all that exist, all that we
see and all which is beyond our senses. He has given us our life
with an intelligence to do well. Brothers and Sisters of all colors,
holding hands around the planet on May 22nd 2007, let us reflect on
this, let us meditate in our own way, in our own language, according
to our own culture or religion, because we have only one Sun to shine
upon us equally, one air that we breath and gives us life, one water
that we drink and becomes blood in our veins and all live on Mother
Earth. She feeds us, she holds us. Brothers and Sisters of all
colors, together united in meditation to make conscience to the men
in power, governors, politicians, business people: no more war, no
more contaminating bombs, no more death. Together we can make a
difference.
May 22nd 2007 is 5 Ajpu, the Day of Grand Father Sun, he shines upon
all of us equally, he doesn’t know discrimination, he doesn’t get
lost on his path, he doesn’t get ahead or behind of himself. He
gives us warmth, he gives us life. One Sun, one Air, one Water, One
Mother Earth. May 22nd 2007 day of Grand Father Sun, Grand Mother Moon.
The Maya Prophecy says: “Arise, all arise, not one nor two groups
be left behind, together we will see once again the place from where
we have come from”
