(21) TURTLE AND TREE CALL THE COUNCIL OF THE CHILDREN OF THE EARTH

In the luminous spirit lodges of moon and sun there is a great stirring. For a long time the fiery tree of vision and magic turtle dreamed their power in different ways to members of the last generation children of the Earth. Despite these efforts to keep the vision of time alive among the humans, the forgetting only deepened.

Whole species of turtles and trees were disappearing. The ranks of the federation of the turtle and league of the tree were broken and scattered. Would human forgetting make the biosphere so unstable that its delicate web would collapse in a cataclysm?

From the spirit lodge of the moon to the spirit lodge of the sun, the original spirit turtle called to the original spirit tree: noble tree! There is danger to our Earth. The pressure of the expanding human within the biosphere is too great. The human has even gone out of the biosphere to the moon and other planets. But for all that, the human knows little of time. Human has no constancy. Human has all but lost its mind. We must call a spirit council.

The original spirit tree answered. Yes, this is a very good idea, turtle. It will be a special council, a council of the children of the Earth, for the child of the Earth to reclaim their time.

Turtle replied. You are right, tree. Time is supreme. Time is the sovereign ruler of the biosphere. Time is for the children. When the children of the human are young, they have time but do not know it. When the children of the human mature, they are in space, but time has lost them and they do not know it. They think they know about time and wear bracelets called watches that say 'tell time.' But their watches only talk flat time. Worse than ignorant, the humans are deluded! We must see what we can do to help them.

Never before had such a spirit council been called on Earth's behalf. Deep within the center of the Earth of the time of the dream, the spirit animals gathered, the dreaming spirit powers came together.

Turtle and tree watched in awe. Great spirit had spread its dream mantle all over Earth's core. Within that dream mantle spirit animals of all species gathered. Not only the spirit powers of all organic shapes in time, but eh spirit powers of the inorganic shapes and all the elements also appeared.

Spirit spoke. My mantle protects all the spirit animals. They are all present. Also present are my special spirit hosts, the rock people and the cloud people. No one knows endurance better then the rock people. No one knows better the language of all the shapes of time than the cloud people. They, too, are affected by human's forgetting of round time. They too suffer from human's following the false time of the flat line. They too want to know what should be done with the human.

Spirit continued. Our mother Earth says that all the humans have messed with her weaving of time. The pattern introduced by the humans with their false time of twelve can no longer be tolerated. The biospheric web is about to blow from so much pressure.

Our mother says she cannot remember such a dangerous moment. The dinosaurs were terrifying, but their forgetting was not as devastating as the forgetting of the human. Human is clever. Out of the cloth of the false time, human has given birth to machines.

The cataclysm to cleanse my biosphere of the effects of the human with its thinking machines would be much worse than the cataclysm to adjust for the dinosaurs. That is too painful to think about. There must still be some way to help the last generation of the last generation of the children of the Earth.

The end of the time of the becoming has arrived. The time is not yet over for the human. One generation, 20 sacred years, remain for the human child to wake up and remember the teaching of turtle and tree. This is why this council has been called. This is why it is a council of the children of the Earth for the children of the Earth.

We must find out if anyone remembers how to close the time of the becoming. We must find out if anyone remembers how to bring about the unity of time. We must find out if anyone remembers how to open the time of the navigating.

Before we find out I shall sing mother Earth's song for this time. Spirit sang:

O child of the last generation of the last generation
of the Earth
look where you are
false time
real time crime
my biosphere is stressed
false time
real time crime
my weaving has been messed

all false things finally end
false time will go
true time will mend

when false time ends
in the round of real time
who will be left to know
the wisdom of the tree
and the turtle so slow

who will be left to know the next rhyme
that continues this wonderful story of time
