Such wise words…
How do you cultivate spirit in your life? How do you tend the spirit of the earth, the trees, the rivers, the oceans, the endangered?
“We were told that we would see America come and go. In a sense, America is dying from within because they forgot the instructions on how to live on earth. It's the Hopi belief, it's our belief, that if you are not spiritually connected to the earth and understand the spiritual reality of how to live on earth, it's likely that you will not make it.
Everything is spiritual. Everything has a spirit. Everything was brought here by the Creator, the one Creator. Some people call him God. Some people call him Buddha. Some people call him Allah. Some people call him other names. We call him Tunkaschila... Grandfather.
We are here on earth only a few winters. Then we go to the spirit world. The spirit world is more real than most of us believe.
The spirit world is everything. Over 95% of our body is water. To stay healthy, you've got to drink good water. ... Water is sacred, and the air is sacred.
Our DNA is made out of the same DNA as the tree. The tree breathes what we exhale. We need what the tree exhales. So we have a common destiny with the tree.
We are all from the earth, and when the earth, water, and atmosphere are corrupted, it will create its own reaction. Our Mother is reacting.
The Hopi prophecy says the storms and floods will become greater. To me, it's not a negative thing to know that there will be great changes. It's not negative. it's evolution. When you look at it as evolution, it's time. Nothing stays the same. You should learn how to plant something. That is the first connection.
You should treat everything as spirit and realize that we are one family. It's never something like the end. It's like life. There is no end to life.”
