(4) TURTLE TALKS TIME As the sun is my child, the Earth is my grandchild. As a child of the Earth, each on of you is my great grandchild. Whether you are a human, a monkey, a tree, a flower, a bird, or a sea plankton each of you is one of my great grandchildren. But of all my great grandchildren of the Earth, turtle and tree are my favorites, for they are the ones instructed to keep the wisdom of time in common for all beings of the Earth. If turtle and tree are able to survive the many ages of time spun by Earth in her spiraling course, then the children of the Earth in all of their forms will endure. Though time will change their forms and fashion them into new shapes, the children of the Earth will succeed in their common destiny: unity in time! Holding the wisdom of all of my children, turtle and tree are most precious to me. They take their shape and hold their form in time with the Earth's shape and form in time. Turtle and tree are so accomplished in holding their form in time with the Earth that their species span the fiery ages preceding the dinosaurs right down to the present age of industrialized humans. The humans are the youngest of my great grandchildren, just as the Earth is one of the youngest of my grandchildren, and the sun is one of the youngest of my children. This is because your spin in time takes place at the end of one of my many scarves of time blowing wildly from my dancing waist. Because you are the youngest of my great grandchildren, you humans are the ones to benefit the most from the wisdom of your elders, turtle and tree. Listen now to turtle's story: In that long ago spin when the skies smoldered steam, the amphibians marched out of the great single sea. The amphibians were the first to set foot and breathe pure air on the land of the Earth. There arose among those first amphibians a supreme one exalted in patience and forbearing above all others in the animal realm. It was the great grandmother turtle of all turtles. She spoke: Until that destined moment at the end of the becoming, it is I and my progeny, all the turtles of land and sea, who shall keep the secret of time's mystery. It is we who shall speak the true story of time regardless of all obstacles. The mystery is this: how many times does the moon wax and wane during one Earth orbit of the sun? Count the scales on turtles back and you will know! Through all Earth's ages, through cataclysm and ice, to the end of the becoming, we turtles shall hold and reveal time's knowledge for all children of the Earth. We shall especially stand ready at that moment that marks the end of the becoming, and announces the great unity in time! The becoming is the name of the time it takes Earth to evolve all the best possible models for a sustained journey through time. The end of the becoming means that the last evolutionary model has been completed. The time of the becoming ends in the unity of time. Passing through the unity in time, Earth enters the time of the navigating. We are to be on the watch for the youngest child of the Earth, the human. This youngest child will be the navigator of the next stage of Earth's journey. When the human becomes responsible, there will be unity in time. Through unity in time, the human children will navigate the planet and the turtle will finally be able to retire. This is why it is turtle's purpose to now reveal the true recollection of time so that all Earth's human children will remember the turtle: Look at my back Next Page >> Jump to page... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25
