Prophecy: Would You Like to Know More About It?
NOTE THIS VIDEO IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
Louis Jarvis explores Native American, Tibetan, and Catholic
spiritual traditions and prophecies.
He describes the many ways the different traditions speak of
the same divinity, and he shows how these and other traditions
contain prophecies that point to the present time.
Many of these prophecies foretell disasters on an unimaginable
scale, but they do not have to come true.
The purpose of prophecies is to awaken people to make the necessary
changes. Louis stresses that there will be a new world, one way
or another.
With an urgency born of his deep caring, he invites us all to
realign our hearts, minds, and actions.
Louis Jarvis combines his strong Catholic background with many
years of study under teachers in both the Hopi and Tibetan traditions:
the traditional Elders of Hotevilla Village, especially Grandfather
David Monongye; and H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche and other high Lamas
of the Nyingmapa (Ancient) Order of Tibet. Louis has represented
the traditional Hopi at the United Nations.
Producer's comments from Kelly Hart:
I asked Louis Jarvis if he would be interviewed for another
program I had in mind about future visions. He sat down in front
of the camera and talked nonstop for nearly two hours with such
intensity and depth of understanding about the prophetic traditions
of a diverse group of cultures that I was blown away. I realized
that this interview should be the basis for a program all by itself.
An Excerpt from the Program (Louis talking):
If one sets aside the root prejudice that there is no divine
revelation outside of the Jewish, Islamic, Christian tradition,
and just looks at these other prophecies around the world, you'll
find that they are strikingly similar.
They are not just similar; it's a matter of six of one, one half
dozen of another. They are different nomenclatures, different
descriptions, of the exact same events. What's different is the
source here in this hemisphere may be called Masau, may be called
the Peacemaker, may be called Mahayo, may be called Wakantaka,
may be called different names, but the prophecies themselves are
strikingly identical.
How far back they date can't be answered, but I don't think that's
critical right now to know exactly how old they are. What's critical
is whether or not certain prophesies transmitted through the Native
American peoples have indeed been fulfilled, and I think unfortunately
for us white folk and the world at large, all too many of these
prophecies have been fulfilled and therefore we're in a great
deal of trouble.
Our problem is that we don't want to take seriously the idea
of prophecy in general. We don't believe these things are possible,
although our physics are becoming more subtle, more mystical,
and the idea of being able to maybe look backwards, forwards,
and sideways in time is a lot less exotic an idea than it was
until recently, by and large, we are not amenable to the idea
that the future can be foreseen in great detail.
We also have the mistaken idea that just because it can be foreseen,
that therefore the future is determined. It's not determined.
Even though something is foreseen as a likelihood, events, contingencies,
influences, desires, there's a whole subtle field of human interactions
that can shape the way things go. That's not why prophecies come
true: because they are foreseen and foretold.
Prophecies come true, if they do, because people don't do
what it takes to avert them.
We are meant to be unity. We are meant to be diversity in unity,
the identity of opposites, so it's not as if we are supposed to
recognize Jesus as the only manifestation of the Lord, Jesus as
the only manifestation of Christ. Jesus is the Christ; Jesus is
the Lord, but he's one specific manifestation, and you can look
at Jesus as the manifestation of a universal Lord, which is a
Lord/Lady, and I want to emphasize this, that the Lord is not
masculine. The Lord is the Lord/Lady, and we could just as easily
refer to the feminine aspect of this universal mind or enlightened
mind. This female Buddha, this female Christ energy which appears
is important. It's really, really important. She's to the Hopi,
and to a lot of the other pueblo peoples, not just the Pueblos,
she's universal: she's Spider Woman, Grandmother Spider...
