THE BIRTH OF SPIRIT, A New White
Buffalo
The birth of
Miracle, the first white buffalo born in over
three generations, caught
the attention of the world just a few years ago. The real miracle was not,
however, just her rare whiteness; she was a powerful spiritual symbol to
many peoples, both native and not. As a symbol for World Peace and the
Unity of all peoples, she was visited by Religious and State Dignitaries;
even the Dalhi Lama made his way downthe dirt farm road to the Heider
Ranch where Miracle lives.
Miracle was, and indeed still is, the
fulfillment of Native
American prophecy, a plea for humanity to walk in
the "Light", and a symbol of hope for the future of all generations. As if
to emphasize the importance of the message of Miracle, Mother Nature soon
produced another white buffalo. Then another. Then another... and another.
A couple died of natural causes within days; White buffalo usually have an
extremely short lifespan. One was found shot by an unknown person or
persons while still just a few months old.
But the Universal
Forces. Mother Nature or Spirit, as
I sometimes call that great unseen
All That Is, will not be
stopped. The Importance of the message
represented by
the white buffalo will be repeated and emphasized until
it
is recognized by all. Spirit is the seventh white buffalo
to be
born within the past few years. That in itself is
phenomenal and defies
all scientific explanation.
Chief Arvol Looking Horse, 19th
Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Pipe, in a private
conversation with me, stated, "This is a very important sign, to not only
our people, but all people and all nations everywhere... This is the
seventh, and comes in times of great importance to us all... Our
prophecies tell us that we are at the crossroads. We are faced with either
chaos and disaster, or we can unite spiritually in
peace and
harmony.... I will pray for full understanding."

(Chief Arvol Looking Horse is also a active
World Peace advocate, and founder of World Peace and Prayer day - see http://www.worldpeaceday.com/ for

To me, the birth of "Spirit" is surely a sign
of just that - The Birth Of Spirit. The coming of Spirit into our physical
world in a much stronger way than ever before; the entering of Spirit into
our hearts and lives. She is Mother Nature Herself, reminding us of the
Path or harmony with all beings that we as a species have such difficulty
seeing. She is a reminder of the ancient prophecies of many peoples, and
beliefs.
The 1994 birth of the first modern white buffalo, Miracle,
is believed to have been the sign that these times are at hand. Shortly
Miracle's birth, Chief Arvol Looking Horse, called upon spiritual leaders
from around the world to join him in praying for global peace and healing,
and issued an invitation for people of all faiths to gather at their own
sacred sites or places of worship, and pray in their own manner, on the
first
World Peace and Prayer Day. Since that time, although a
particular day is still set aside annually, the movement has expanded to
make every day a day of prayer for world peace.
To those of us who
have dedicated their lives to a world at peace; To those of us who live to
see a unity of all peoples everywhere; To those of us who choose Love and
Acceptance over discord and violence; To those of us who pursue a life of
harmony and good will towards all: I offer the message of a new white
buffalo. Take Heart all: Spirit is here!
To those of us who know
better than we do; To those of us who would like to, but haven't yet
changed the desire into action; To those of us who have heard the calling,
but have not yet listened: I repeat the message of the new white buffalo.
Let us heed the message of Spirit.
It is time.
