(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
