<p>The vision of Earth Day 4 Corners Peace Prayer and Concert was received in late 2010. We felt a very strong pull to have ceremony on the sacred lands. The following day of sharing our desire to fulfill this need, we were offered the land to prepare a gathering where many can come together and create a whole new world together. Approx 2 months later, we received the prophecy around this event. Enjoy ; )</p>

<p>EARTH CELEBRATION - INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE SPIRIT WORLD</p>
<p align="center"><b>June 2003</b></p>
<p align="center"><b> </b></p>
<p>Two American Indian Spirits, a male and a female, came to me in the early morning. Standing on each side of me, our arms locked together, we began traveling at a high rate of speed across the Earth. We flew across every type of terrain, elevation and geographic feature. We merged with and flowed ‘through’ sand, soil, rocks, hills, mountains, canyons, trees and all types of plant life. We swam through the oceans and went across the land. The sun, moon and stars were always present. At one point I could see a river in the distance and I said “we will be going into the river” and we did. When we emerged on the opposite bank of the river I found myself at ground level. I felt like an insect or a small animal. I could smell the soil and see rows of corn, melons and some other plants around me. I looked around and as I began to stand up I could see I was in the middle of a large garden.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At that point I heard someone speaking and I turned my attention to a man standing behind a podium on a stage in the center of the garden. I thought to myself, “I should pay attention to what he is saying.” He spoke about the human spiritual and molecular connection to the elements of nature, that we are one with creation and the significance of protecting the environment for future generations. His terminology about the environment was both scientific as well as spiritual. His primary topic was ‘water.’ He was also a Native American. As he was speaking I noticed that he wasn’t directly speaking to me. He appeared to be giving a speech and looking out beyond the stage. I followed his gaze and at that point I saw people sitting in a stadium listening to his speech. The stage was surrounded by the garden that I was standing in and also there were small trees in containers and artwork. It was a beautiful setting.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At that point one Spirit spoke to me and said, “This needs to happen. It is time.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then in an instant, the two Spirits and I were up in space above the region of the U.S. looking down at the land. One of them spoke again and she said, “the gatherings need to happen at four places.” At that time I saw a burning ember started to glow in the southwest region of the U.S. A second one was in the northwest. The third and the fourth ones appeared almost at the same time…one in the central region and one towards the Great Lakes. I began to think about Willie Nelson and Farm Aid and I said to the Spirits, “do you mean like Farm Aid?” They answered, “Yes and he had our help.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At that time I started to feel quite overwhelmed about the task and said to them, “four?” They answered, “Start with one.” As they gave me further detailed instruction, I began to see the gatherings in progress. The Spirits said that each gathering carried the general theme, but each would be unique and help to provide national direction for years to come. I thought about the Civil Rights March on Washington and they said, “That set in motion some of the changes you have experienced.” They said the speakers should focus on current environmental crises, but at the same time it is to discuss and identify next steps in preserving and protecting our environment and learning to coincide in a more natural state with the Earth.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As I heard these words I saw speakers such as Native American Elders, scientists, writers and storytellers, lawyers, business people and others sharing important information. There were singers, musicians and poets. There was a strong presence of Indigenous people. It was energetic and positive. It was a celebration, but serious issues were being discussed. I saw information booths and smaller rooms where people were having discussions. The spirits made clear to me that the gathering must also appeal to the ‘individual.’ They showed me a ‘housewife’ and she was turning off a lamp because she wanted to do her part to preserve the environment. They said it should also help people that make laws and others that have to carry them out and then to others that directly impact the environment through their business activities. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Spirits said, “People need to learn what they can do.” I asked, “Who should I speak to? Who will help?” They said, “Begin to talk about it. There will be a group of people that will come together who will help. They are receiving the messages too.” I hesitated about asking about a time frame knowing that this would be on “Creator’s time,” but they said, “Start with the first one.” The Spirits said a final time, “this needs to happen. It is time.”</p>

<h2 align="center">FOUR ENVIRONMENTAL GATHERINGS CONCEPT</h2>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p><b>What: </b> Four gatherings to be held to celebrate our relationship to planet Earth designed to create awareness and serve as forums to expand initiatives and achieve consensus on individual, community and national strategies to protect the environment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Where:</b> Southwest, Northwest, Midwest and Great Lakes Region (U.S.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>When:</b> Put planning in motion to set future dates.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Why:</b> Targeted public events help to focus attention on the status of the environment in order to develop national consensus and cohesive thought to defend and protect our earth, including the wildlife and heritage resources within the United States. The four gatherings will provide a forum to jointly develop strategies that can be initiated by individuals and communities in order to set forth national direction to promote stronger environmental policies for future generations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>How:</b> The gatherings will provide opportunities for the voices of concerned individuals to be heard through stories, songs, poetry and other media to educate the public at large. Interaction among the participants and educational dissemination shall be key elements. The events will bring together people from all walks of life, ages and income levels to celebrate the Earth. It will give them an opportunity to discuss needed strategies to conserve energy, clean-up the air and water, safeguard and regenerate wilderness and wildlife, protect cultural resources, conserve open space and develop ideas for the green economy. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Individual, community and national environmental stewardship is the human requirement of existence. In this way the Earth will give back to us all that we need or should desire. Organizational efforts will need to include a willingness to redirect resources to secure a gathering place (stadium or other appropriate setting) for each event and to effectively disseminate information with the aim of long-term commitments that go beyond a one-day event. </p> The 4th Way: An Indigenous Contribution to Building Peace, Prosperity and Security in the Americastag:www.fwii.net,2011-02-14:2429082:Topic:493522011-02-14T22:54:32.685ZKimberlee Schultzhttps://www.fwii.net/profile/KimberleeSchultz

<p>Thank you again Brother Phil Lane Jr. for sharing this wisdom of the 4th Way October 15, 2010.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>The 21st century was imagined by many as a time of peace and prosperity. The horrors of the 20th century, including the scourge of world war and economic hardship, were not to be a part of this bright new century. Communism had fallen and the "End of History" was announced, representing the triumph of the "Washington Consensus" of globalized free market democracy, presided over by transnational corporations and enforced by an ever-present, all-powerful but benevolent U.S. military.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yes, liberal democracy had "won" and the future was one of capitalism, free markets, privatization, globalization and peaceful relations across an ever "flatter world."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But that is not where we find ourselves. As we approach the end of the first decade of the millennium, humanity is experiencing an unfolding crisis in which our Mother Earth and its inhabitants simultaneously face the prospect of deepening economic insecurity, violent conflict, environmental degradation, competition for ever scarcer resources and markets, societal and political upheaval, and an increase in poverty and hopelessness.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Without question, these are times of historic import, times that call for a constructive, inclusive solution. In response we present The Fourth Way, a spiritually grounded vision and strategy for change that envisions a new era of cooperation, sustainable peace, security and human well being. The Fourth Way is based on ancient prophesies found throughout the Western Hemisphere stating that after a long winter of death, deprivation, violence and despair, the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas would awaken to a new springtime of hope, cooperation and prosperity. Rooted in ancient principles embedded in Indigenous culture and expressed anew in its foundational Sixteen Principles, The Fourth Way is the path to these prophecies' fulfillment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The winter for the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas has been long and bitter, lasting over 500 years. It was introduced by a "great die-off" of 90-95% of all Indigenous people in the Americas, most as the result of European diseases, which killed them before they ever saw a European. Charles Mann, in his book 1491: New Revelations of the Americas before Columbus, quotes scholars who believe that 80-100 million Natives perished from disease by the mid- 1600's, a catastrophe on an even greater scale than the "black deaths" in Europe. Many more died afterward as the direct result of hostile colonial policies. Consequently, Indigenous peoples have been deprived of their identity and culture and suffered profound poverty and abuse, resulting in inter-generational trauma.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Over the centuries, Indigenous Peoples have responded to this cruel set of conditions in a variety of ways ranging from assimilation and passive resignation to resistance. At the same time, there has always been a powerful core of Indigenous elders and spiritual leaders who advocated holding on to the ancient spiritual vision of the Oneness of the Human Family and the teaching that the way out of this period of oppression and suffering Indigenous Peoples have endured is not through violence, but rather through healing the trusts that were broken, and through building constructive partnerships with all nations and peoples. These elders and spiritual leaders have continued to believe in the ancient prophecies, including the Reunion of the Condor and the Eagle, the Time of the Eighth Council Fire, the Return of the White Buffalo, the Emergence of the Fourth World and the fulfillment of Black Elk's Daybreak Star Prophesy which presents the entire human family as the children of one mother nourished and shaded by the tree of life and favored with the promise of renewal and rebirth. In the past, their wise voices and vision were overcome by those who advocated resistance and violence, but we believe that the time has now come to witness the fulfillment of their vision. Indigenous people are ready to reclaim their cultures, values and traditions and to take advantage of collective material resources to play a key role in humanity's advancement, all steps toward the fulfillment of their highest potential.</p>
