Preface
By Hans Brockhuis

As announced, this issue of the Running Fox Papers will be focused entirely upon the heritage of the 'Native Americans'. The stories these peaceful people have to tell us, is of an astounding beauty, clarity, forgiveness and peace. When you are really looking into these human Be-ings and their way of life, you understand more and more that we, the pale faces, have failed enormously when we were about to destroy them. Was it fear; was it something else? When you are exploring you will be able to come up with many answers why all this could happen. Above all you will understand that it is high time that we at long last, start to truly listen to what these extraordinary people want us to know.

When I was very young, I have been reading the stories of Little Hiawatha and Silver Snake, later those of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand. They were all very good to read, but written from the point of view of the then infallible considered white man. Later again I came into contact with the works of Mary Summer Rain and most of all with the teachings of the blind wise Chippewa woman No Eyes. Presently I stumbled upon the viewpoints of the Hopi people, of whom in this issue a remarkable contribution is to be found; a cry for help from the hand of one of their great chiefs, Dan Evehema.

It looks like, that I myself also have a history as a Native American. In this issue, in the piece, Vision Quest, I write about it. And last but not least, there is also a contribution from one of the great leaders out of the 'wild west' history, the legendary Chief Joseph, who gives us a blink out of eternity. 

For the next issue I have not yet chosen a theme. I am therefore awaiting your contributions with interest and I know for sure that in this way a topic will arise of its own accord.

I wish you to have contentment with these 'Running Fox Papers'.

Love and Light and Peace,

Hans

Chief Dan Evehema's Message to Mankind

I am very glad to have this time to send a message to you. We are celebrating a time in our history which is both filled with joy and sadness.

We Hopi believe that the human race has passed through three different worlds and life ways since the beginning. At the end of each prior world, human life has been purified or punished by the Great Spirit "Massauu" due mainly to corruption, greed and turning away from the Great Spirit's teachings. The last great destruction was the flood, which destroyed all but a few faithful ones who asked and received a permission from the Great Spirit to live with Him in this new land. The Great Spirit said, "It is up to you, if you are willing to live my poor, humble and simple life way. 

It is hard but if you agree to live according to my teachings and instructions, if you never lose faith in the life I shall give you, may come and live with me." The Hopi and all who were saved from the great flood made a sacred covenant with the Great Spirit at that time. We Hopi made an oath that we will never turn away from Him. For us the Creators laws never change or break down. To the Hopi the Great Spirit is all-powerful. He appeared to the first people as a man and talked with them in the beginning of this creation world. He taught us how to live, to worship, where to go and what food to carry, gave us seeds to plant and harvest. He gave us a set of sacred stone tablets into which He breathed all teachings in order to safeguard his land and life. In these stone tablets were made, instructions and prophecies and warnings. This was done with the help of a Spider woman and Her two grandsons. They were wise and powerful helpers of the Great Spirit.

Before the Great Spirit went into hiding, He and Spider woman put before the leaders of the different groups of people many colours and sized of corn for them to choose their food in this world. The Hopi was the last to pick and then choose their food in this world. The Hopi then choose the smallest ear of corn. Then Massauu said, "You have shown me you are wise and humble for this reason you will be called Hopi (people of peace) and I will place in your authority all land and life to guard, protect and hold trust for Me until I return to you in later days for I am the First and the Last."

This is why when a Hopi is ordained into the higher religious order; the earth and all living things are placed upon his hands. He becomes a parent to all life on earth. He is entitled to advise and correct his children in whatever peaceful way he can. So we can never give up knowing that our message of peace will reach our children. Then it is together with the other spiritual leaders the destiny of our future children is placed. We are instructed to hold this world in balance within the land and the many universes with special prayers and ritual, which continue to this day. 

It was to the Spider woman's two grandsons the sacred stone tablets were given. These two brothers were then instructed to carry them to a place the Great Spirit had instructed them. The older brother was to go immediately to the East, to the rising sun and upon reaching his destination was instructed to immediately start to look for his younger brother who shall remain in the land of the Great Spirit. The Older brothers mission when he returned was to help his younger brother (Hopi) bring about peace, brotherhood and everlasting life on his return. 

Hopi, the younger brother, was instructed to cover all land and mark it well with footprints and sacred markings to claim this land for the Creator and peace on earth. We established our ceremonials and sacred shrines to hold this world in balance in accordance with our first promise to the Creator.

This is how our migration story goes, until we meet the Creator at Old Oribe (place that solidifies) over 1000 years ago. It was at that meeting when he gave to us these prophecies to give to you now at this closing of the Fourth World of destruction and the beginning of the Fifth World of peace. He gave us many prophecies to pass on to you and all have come to pass. This is how we know the timing is now to reveal the last warnings and instructions to mankind. 

We were told to settle permanently here in Hopi land where we met the Great Spirit and wait for Older Brother who went east to return to us. When he returns to this land he will place his stone tablets side by side to show all the world that they are our true brothers. When the road in the sky has been fulfilled and when the inventing of something, in Hopi means, gourd of ashes, a gourd that when drops upon the earth will boil everything within a large space and nothing will grow for a very long time. When the leaders turned to evil ways instead of the Great Spirit we were told there would be many ways this life may be destroyed if human kind does not heed our prophecy and return to ones original spiritual instructions. 

We were told of three helpers who were commissioned by the Great Spirit to help Hopi bring about the peaceful life on earth would appear to help us and we should not change our homes, our ceremonials, our hair, because the true helpers might not recognise us as the true Hopi. So we have been waiting all these years.

It is known that our True White Brother, when he comes, will be all-powerful and will wear a red cap or red cloak. He will be large in population, belong to no religion but his very own. He will bring with him the sacred stone tablets. With him there will be two great ones both very wise and powerful.

One will have a symbol or sign, which represents purity and is Female, a producer of life. The third one or the second one of the two helpers to our True White Brother will have a sign of a symbol of the sun. He, too, will be many people and very wise and powerful. We have in our sacred Kachina ceremonies a gourd rattle that is still in use today with these symbols of these powerful helpers of our True Brother.

It is also prophesied that if these three fail to fulfil their mission then the one from the west will come like a big storm. He will be many, in numbers and unmerciful. When he comes he will cover the land like the red ants and over take this land in one day. If the three helpers chosen by the Creator fulfil their sacred mission and even if there are only one, two or three of the true Hopi remaining holding fast to the last ancient teaching and instructions the Great Spirit, Massauu will appear before all and our world will be saved. The three will lay our a new life plan which leads to everlasting life and peace. The earth will become new as it was from the beginning. Flowers will bloom again, wild games will return to barren lands and there will be abundance of food for all. Those who are saved will share everything equally and they all will recognise Great Spirit and speak one language.

We are now faced with great problems, not only here but throughout the land. Ancient cultures are being annihilated. Our people's lands are being taken from them, leaving them no place to call their own. Why is this happening? It is happening because many have given up or manipulated their original spiritual teachings. The way of life which the Great Spirit has given to all its people of the world, whatever your original instructions are not being honoured. It is because of this great sickness-called greed, which infects every land and country that simple people are losing what they have kept for thousands of years. Now we are at the very end of our trail. Many people no longer recognise the true path of the Great Spirit. They have, in fact, no respect for the Great Spirit or for our precious Mother Earth, who gives us all life.

We are instructed in our ancient prophecy that this would occur. We were told that someone would try to go up to the moon: that they would bring something back from the moon; and that after that, nature would show signs of losing its balance. Now we see that coming about. All over the world there are now many signs that nature is no longer in balance. Floods, drought, earthquakes, and great storms are occurring and causing much suffering. We do not want this to occur in our country and we pray to the Great Spirit to save us from such things. But there are now signs that this very same thing might happen very soon on our own land.
Now we must look upon each other as brothers and sisters. There is no more time for divisions between people. Today I call upon all of us, from right here at home, Hotevilla, where we to are guilty of gossiping and causing divisions even among our own families; out to the entire world where thievery, war and lying goes on every day. These divisions will not be our salvation. Wars only bring more wars never peace.

Only by joining together in a Spiritual Peace with love in our hearts for one another, love in our hearts for the Great Spirit and Mother Earth, shall we be saved from the terrible Purification Day which is just ahead.

There are many of you in this world who are honest people. We know you spiritually for we are the "Men's Society Grandfathers" who have been charged to pray for you and all life on earth never forgetting anything or any one in our ceremonials. Our prayer is to have a good happy life, plenty of soft gentle rain for abundant crops. We pray for balance on earth to live in peace and leave a beautiful world to the children yet to come. We know you have good hearts but good hearts are not enough to help us out with these great problems. In the past some of you have tried to help us Hopis, and we will always be thankful for you efforts. But now we need your help in the worst way. We want the people of the world to know the truth of our situation.

This land which people call the Land of the Freedom celebrates many days reminding people of the world of these things. Yet in well over 200 years the original Americans have not seen a free day. We are suffering the final insult. Our people are now losing the one thing which give life and meaning of life -- our ceremonial land, which is being taken away from us. 
Hotevilla is the last holy consecrated, undisturbed traditional Native American sacred shrine to the Creator. As the prophecy says, this sacred shrine must keep its spiritual pathways open. This village is the spiritual vortex for the Hopi to guide the many awakening Native Americans and other true hearts home to their own unique culture. Hotevilla was established by the last remaining spiritual elders to maintain peace and balance on this continent from the tip of South America up to Alaska. Many of our friends say Hotevilla is a sacred shrine, a national and world treasure and must be preserved. We need your help.

Where is the freedom which you all fight for and sacrifice your children for? Is it only the Indian people who have lost or are all Americans losing the very thing, which you original came here to find? We don't share the freedom of the press because what gets into the papers is what the government wants people to believe, not what is really happening. We have no freedom of speech, because we are persecuted by our own people for speaking our beliefs.
We are at the final stages now and there is a last force that is about to take away our remaining homeland.

We are still being denied many things including the rite to be Hopis and to make our living in accordance with our religious teachings. The Hopi leaders have warned leaders in the White House and the leaders in the Glass House but they do not listen. So as our prophecy says then it must be up to the people with good pure hearts that will not be afraid to help us to fulfil our destiny in peace for this world. We now stand at a cross road whether to lead ourselves in everlasting life or total destruction. We believe that human beings spiritual power through prayer is so strong it decides life on earth.

So many people have come to Hopiland to meet with us. Some of you we have met on your lands. Many times people have asked how they can help us. Now I hope and pray that your help will come. If you have a way to spread the truth, through the newspapers, radio, books, thought meeting with powerful people, tell the truth! Tell them what you know to be true. Tell them what you have seen here; what you have heard us say; what you have seen with your own eyes. In this way, if we do fall, let it be said that we tried, right up to the end, to hold fast to the path of peace as we were originally instructed to do by the Great Spirit. Should you really succeed, we will all realise our mistakes of the past and return to the true path - - living in harmony as brothers and sisters, sharing our mother, the earth with all other living creatures. In this way we could bring about a new world. A world which would be led by the great Spirit and our mother will provide plenty and happiness for all. 

God bless you, each one of you and know our prayers for peace meet yours as the sun rises and sets.
May the Great Spirit guide you safely into the path of love, peace, freedom and God on this Earth Mother.
May the holy ancestors of love and light keep you safe in your land and homes.
Pray for God to give you something important to do in this great work, which lies ahead of us all to bring peace on earth. We the Hopi still hold the sacred stone tablets and now await the coming of our True White Brother and others seriously ready to work for the Creator's peace on earth.
Be well, my children, and think good thoughts of peace and togetherness.
Peace for all life on earth and peace with one another in our homes, families and countries. We are not so different in the Creator's eyes.
The same great Father Sun shines his love on each of us daily just as Mother Earth prepares the sustenance for our table, do they not? We are one after all.

A BLINK OF ETERNITY
Conversations with Chief Joseph - by John Caliy

Note from John:

I go jogging every morning, usually at first light. Mornings are a high-energy time of the day for me. I love pushing my body to its highest and best performance - I get a real emotional "high" from that physical effort.

And when I'm on a jogging high, inspiration often hits me - sometimes in the form of Chief Joseph's "whisperings" in my ear. Today was such a day.

I've never been happier, healthier, had more fun or been more in love with my life and myself, than I am right now. And I've finally learned (or, more accurately, remembered) how to manifest exactly what I want in my life - and how to manifest all of it.

Are there still "bumps in the road" for me? Yes. But they're getting fewer and farther between. And they serve as "course correction" reminders. They tell me when I'm getting off my path, when I'm disconnecting from my soul, from my source energy.

When I'm feeling bad (angry, frustrated, sad, lonely, fearful, etc.), that's just my soul's way of getting my attention so I can get back "on course." And when I'm feeling good, ranging anywhere along the spectrum from peace/contentment to passion/ecstasy, then my soul is
telling me I'm "on course."

As Chief Joseph often reminds me, we don't need to delve into our pasts - the past of this life or of other lives. We don't need to understand how we got to where we are now - or even why. We don't need to "undo" any past deed or misdeed, any omission or perceived failure, in this life or any other life.

There are no karmic debts to pay. All we need to do is live fully in this present moment, and decide where we, as the glorious and magnificent creators we all are, want to go from here.

And it helps enormously to be happy where we are, to be happy where we're going, and to be happy on the journey between where we are and where we're going.

Here's Joseph.

Chief Joseph:

So many of you, my dear ones, are tortured and shackled by your pasts - your past in this lifetime and your past in other lifetimes. You cause yourselves so much needless pain and anguish by focusing on the "bad" parts of your pasts.

Of course, there is no such thing as a "bad" past - or a "bad" experience, for that matter. All experience is valuable. Or, at least, it can be if you will "mine the gold nuggets" every experience holds for you.

If you've had an experience, in this lifetime or another, which you perceive as bad or negative, it need not be a negative in your now. Your now is all you have. Sure, you can choose to use your "now moments" focusing on whatever you wish - positive or negative, in your past, in your present, in your dreams for the future.

Whatever you're doing, whatever you're thinking, you're doing it now - NOW is all you have.

You are, every one of you, goddesses and gods in human form. You are spiritual energy, eternal and powerful beyond belief - beyond your wildest imaginings. You are far more than you perceive yourselves to be in this current physical body you occupy for what, in reality, is
but a blink of eternity.

I would ask you to do little exercise. Sit down with paper and pen. Write on the paper all your wildest fantasies and passions. What would you create in your present lifetime if you had at your fingertips all the power in the Universe?

Write it all down - your perfect lover, your perfect work, your perfect home, your perfect body - whatever your heart desires. Write it all down - there are no limits here.

This is a most powerful exercise. When you put your dreams, your visions, your fantasies down on paper, you have brought them into physical manifestation. Albeit an "infant" manifestation, but a physical manifestation nonetheless.

Now hear this - it is critical: Once you have done that exercise, spend some time every day envisioning your perfect life. It need not be a long time - several minutes is enough. In doing this, you are carrying yourself to a higher vibration - a vibration to which the Universe MUST respond.

Your bible says "Ask and it is given." It is truth. Ask for whatever you want in your wildest dreams - and it will be yours if you stay out of the Universe's way. By that, I mean focus only on what feels good - ignore all the rest. Whether that "rest" be in your past or in your present.

As you focus only on what feels good to you, your vibration rises to the frequency your soul exists in eternally. That is your natural state as a human extension of soul energy.

And when you luxuriate in the high vibration of your soul, nothing - literally nothing - is impossible. What you call miracles will become an everyday experience in your lives. You will know a deep joy, an ecstasy you've never known in this lifetime. You will have fulfilled
the dream you had at your soul level before you incarnated into physical form once again.

You are creators, each and every one of you. That is why you came to this lifetime. You came to experience the fun of creating in this sea of incredible diversity you call Planet Earth.

If your life is not fun - every part of it - you're not fulfilling your soul intention. Life IS fun! Life IS beautiful! Life IS eternal! You'll never get it all done. Creation is an eternal process. There are no deadlines, no rules. Just do what feels good - and HAVE FUN!

Vision Quest
By: Hans Brockhuis

Cold, hungry and lonely he was hiding from the torrential rains under his little shelter. It was a rain that seemed endless and in spite of it being summer, whined downward and drenched the earth with a dampness that was unparalleled. This year would undoubtedly be remembered forever as 'The Year of the Soaked Summer.'

He was now on the eve of his initiation as a brave, to search for his man name. Before that he had been exposed to the usual trials that had the function to prove that he would be able to contain himself and not get exposed to the scorn of his fellow tribe members like a frightened hare. But he had endured everything, and was hungry now because of two days of fasting. Clad only in a loincloth, he had been sent into the prairie to search for the vision quest that would confirm at last he was a man. 

By means of the few berries that were not decayed, he had been able to eat a bit. Yet because of the rain that kept pouring down, which coated the big plain in a shroud of expecting atmosphere, nothing had come of his quest thus far. The weather was doglike and even the coyotes were not visible. Only now and then a mouse or a squirrel appeared, but he had not succeeded in catching one so far. He would have had to eat it raw, though, because he wasn't allowed to make fire during the journey. If there would be fire, it would find him and not the other way around, the Elders had said. 

It was afternoon, which he could tell because of a spot where the heaven appeared slightly brighter than everywhere else. In order not to die of the cold, he decided to run in the direction of the light and see what was going to happen.

For hours he jogged, always following the sun. When it became dark he was branched off in a large curve to the east. He had not seen a living soul. Even the birds seemed to have disappeared. Only he was there, on this plain prairie, attired only with his boys name Pride. Nevertheless he felt a bit warmer. Soon he found the ground went down toward a shallow valley where a small river sought its way downward, meandering through small thickets. Here would be enough space for him to build a shelter for the night.

He prayed to the Great Spirit and dreamed of roasted buffalo meat and of Spring Blossom, the attractive daughter of the great Chief. At first light he awoke shivering and realized that today was the day, because something had to happen and he certainly would not want to go back to the tribe empty handed. That would be a disgrace that he did not want to bestow upon himself.

Again it started to rain and far away he heard thunder. For a few minutes it hailed stones, and he could clearly see that the thunderstorm was on its way to him. Slowly he walked downstream in the rain, sheltering himself from time to time under a large tree. He walked on because he knew that if he were to stay in one spot, nothing would come out of his quest. 

All at once he experienced a huge lightning and almost immediately he heard the thundering noise of the natural forces. It was very close to him and unexpectedly he saw that a blackberry bush, less than a hundred yards away, was aflame. Then he saw a shadow that took to it's heels out of the danger. It was a red fox that chose to run away. Passion and power were the positive qualities of this appearance, while anger, aggression and impulsivity were the negative aspects, he knew. Above all, while it was only one animal, it could be explained (through the spiritual belief system he was taught), as a sign of originality and leadership. 
Above all, while it was only one animal, it could be explained as originality and leadership. Things like this he had learned from his father, the Shaman and while he possessed a huge interest in things like these pieces of wisdom; he was able to, as soon as these things happened, to remember them. 

He ran after the fox, considering that the fire indeed did arrive despite the many waters of the rains. Water and Fire. Two extremes, but both of them indispensable for the well being of his people. Could this fox be his totem animal, he wondered? Would he in the future be known as Running Fox? This chance meeting was not enough, he realized. He had to come up with something better. 

Again a streak of light in the heavens as the lightning struck simultaneously with the thunder into the tree he was just passing by. He was struck down and passed out immediately.

"Pride, Pride, wake up!" Slowly he opened his eyes and looked into the worried face of Morning Thaw, his mother. He shook his head to rid his foggy sight and gather his wits. On and on it became a bit clearer. He saw a circle of faces around him. Prominently there was the tall figure of Grey Eagle, his father and shaman of the tribe, who stood there considering the situation with an inscrutable face and crossed arms.

"My name is not Pride any more, father. I will be called 'Running Fox' now." Pride heard himself say proudly. "You will have to tell your story to the Council of Elders, son. Get up." With some effort and supported by his mother, he was brought to the Grand Standing Stone where the Council always met.

While walking he felt his left side burning, and he discovered that that part of his body was blackened. Furthermore he still felt a bit shaky on his legs, and the fingers of his left hand were quite tingly. All in all one could say that he had endured his meeting with the Ghosts of Thunder remarkably well. 

Standing before the Council of Elders he told the story that was given to him while unconscious. Following his narration about his dash behind the fox in the hope that he could find his fate in that way, he told about the dreams he had dreamt before his mother awakened him.

"The first thing I saw was a tall young woman, who was clad in an off-white long dress with light blue flowers. She had a light skin and wore long waving peculiarly colored yellow like hair with dark eyebrows. The color of her almond shaped eyes were light blue, like the flowers on her garb. She radiated love and happiness and peace and although she did not say anything, I knew that she was happy with this brief meeting.

"A few moments later the vision disappeared but the powerful joyful and warm feelings stayed with me for a long time. I was happy and I realized that the fox had brought me to a place of Love, Joy and Abundance. But the feelings disappeared gradually and again I felt cold, hungry and lonely.

"Again an apparition materialized. Now it was a squirrel that hopped joyfully to me. Right in front of me he buried a few nuts. At last he looked up to me and said: 'You are never alone. Your Guidance is so much a part of you that they could never leave you if you wanted them to. You speak with Spirit regularly. And yet, you quite often look outside of yourself for the answers. Trust yourself. You are completely whole within yourself. Think about the running fox that brought you here and consider that Spirit once asked you to honour the Divine Spark within yourself and to go on to the fulfilment of that which is really important for the advancement of your soul.'

"I was so happy with this statement, but everything seemed a bit puzzling and I felt light in the head. When all that subsided eventually I still felt alone and I fiery wished for warmth. I knew that Mother Earth sheltered me and that the Spirits of the Heavens gave me air, but I new that my search had not yet come to an end.

"Yet again an image appeared. This time it was a grey eagle who talked to me solemnly." (His People worshipped the grey eagle. Not for nothing had his father, the medicine man, taken on the name of Grey Eagle. The eagle represented the symbols of the soul that taught the tribe to reach for a new level of consciousness).

"'Welcome home, Running Fox,' the eagle said. 'This is a story about peace within yourself, through which it will become possible to come to peace with others. During your young life you often have been in discord with yourself and others. You did not realize that your life has been and will be a learning process to become equipped for a day like today. Often you have taken yourself, and others, much too serious and then you did not realize that life is a game. You also watched the warfare between your tribe and the 'others'. And you were hoping that when you would have come of age, to go with them and battle. But you did not realize that these wars have had their function. It created a chance for all to learn to listen with their heart and thus attain inner peace and be able to grow toward Love towards one another. Because Love is the keyword for all.

"'Because this is also about Love, Wisdom and Forgiveness. It is about the Bond between the here and now and about communion with the Great Spirit. There is a golden pillar of light beaming out of your crown, far away into the universe, where it can be caught by many souls. The seeds of courage, power, trust and love that you are conveying can be felt from great distances in the universe. The running fox has been the herald that you will be, and be called. In a few moments your mother will find you and then you will tell your tribe about your meeting with the three of us, and then it will be time for you to voice your own tale. Within the tribe first, and later on to others and to the strange white coloured people that will enter your world very soon.
"'But always remember to keep the peace and the love within your heart, because you and they are one. And despite the fact that those others seem to think differently about this, you, Running Fox, will be capable to propagate this message of peace, sowing seeds everywhere that will bide their time to germinate. I wish you Good Luck, Running Fox, and I know that you will be worthy of this task…"'
