Summary: The Prophecies Are Happening NOW!
Comment: The Hopi Survival Kit - Chapter 6 - Prophecies Past and Present - Page 207/ 208.

Hopi Elders Quote:

Quote:
Let us take a look into the future through the eyes of our prophets. They say that along the way the industrialized world will have certain problems. Throughout the world people will be uncomfortable because of the changing times. The worldly woes people will be going through. People will have to make adjustments to fit themselves into new life styles and environments.

The industrialized nations will become careless in getting more of the resources they need out of the earth, oil, coal, etc. Believing all these things will last forever. Soon natural resources will be depleted. Fuel shortages will occur; industrial machinery will come to a standstill. The machinery used for planting, harvesting and transport will become useless. The white man (Bahanna) with all his intelligence and technology will not be able to repair the damage.

Now let us review our knowledge briefly, the centuries old prophecies which warned us what would happen when we forgot the principles of right and wrong in our behavior. We will see extraordinary events in Nature and Earth, including mankind: because modern man ignores the wisdom of ancient culture and religion. Modern man looks upon old wisdom and knowledge as dead, useless and no longer respected.

Modern man began to depend on the money system and no longer Mother Earth for food. According to prophecy when this happens Mother Earth will hide the nourishment which she provides because of the view that ancient food is poor man's food.

When all food disappears modern man will try to correct his mistake, the conditions he caused upon the earth through his inventions. He will try to achieve some kind of method to heal the wound, but this will not be possible when we reach the point of no return.

Only through peace the survival of mankind and our planet Earth is possible. Only if we, the human race, are willing to change.

Summary: Good Information but Disjointed Delivery
Comment: Thomas E. Mails was chosen by the Hopi Elders to deliver their prophecies and warnings to the world. These millennia-old prophecies identify current disastrous problems like environmental degradation, fraudulent politics and unhealthy technology etc. leading to the collapse of the world as we know it. Additional instructions are given on averting disaster and acquiring spiritual equanimity. Survival is hopeful for those peoples that are connected to Earth's rhythms, those that blend with nature and celebrate life. The material in The Hopi Survival Kit is fascinating and the keepers of this wisdom are beyond reproach. The value of the traditional Hopi worldview is without question the equivalent of a World Heritage treasure, yet Thomas Mails' delivery couldn't be more jumbled, pompous or paranoid. The rhetoric, tedious opinions and manipulative language found in The Hopi Survival Kit do not do justice to the beauty and truth of these ancient teachings. One wishes that it had been presented concisely with a clear progression of ideas, not with a miscellany of bad metaphors, constant repetition and finger-pointing. Mails' claims that elements of Christianity are identical to Hopi cosmology are ridiculous. As if a culture in a different time and place could not have developed a completely unique and original relationship to the Great Mystery. Interpretations of a divine order or Creator without hierarchy, patriarchy or control DO exist. I wish it were otherwise, but the significance of the Hopi's message is compromised by Mails' inept writing skills and his lack of objectivity. In the book he discusses his own writing style (!!?) and claims that it is only expediency that is required for the delivery of the Hopi message, not good writing. Well, I disagree. Good writing would have given the book more credibility and it would have reached far more people. Perhaps a re-write by a brilliant (or at least competent) writer could give this book the wider exposure it deserves. It is time for indigenous knowledge to be highly valued, held sacred even, for these Hopi teachings can contribute to the restoration of sanity to the human race and balance to the Earth.

Summary: Huh?
Comment: Interesting, but weird. Have an open mind, or don't bother. The politics of the book got me fired up. Some of the mystical content left my jaw hanging open.

Summary: From a friend of Chief Dan Evemhema
Comment: Regardless of writing style, as a Native American woman who practiced her Medicine on Third Mesa in Hopi for years I assure anyone who wishes to find the true Prophesies will find them in this book bearing Dan Evemhema's signature. Strictly for profit books on the subject, however beautifully written would not contain such pure renditions of the Prophecies, as strictly for profit books on the subject are not a part of Hopi Religious Culture. Don't be fooled. The Elders were very aware.

Summary: Keep an open mind
Comment: I was allowed to borrow this book by a friend of mine who met Dan Evehama and was taken under his wing. To those who only read or hear others at "word for word", you will ALWAYS miss the point of ANY discourse, written or spoken. This book is valuable not only for the first ever, first-hand account of this tribe's religious beliefs, but their prophecies and their politics. Those who couldn't get past Mr. Mails' zeal probably wouldn't have listened to Christ, either.
