A New Global Civilization
The vision of a new global civilization is a promise found in spiritual and prophetic sources from Indigenous prophecies, such as Black Elk Speaks, the major Prophets, the Call to the Nations, the Universal House of Justice, and many elders, spiritual teachers, and faith traditions everywhere on Mother Earth.
This new global civilization, which Indigenous peoples and other related prophecies speak of, is not to be confused–even remotely–with the various new world orders fearfully alluded to by various contending sources.
It is not a new world order where the extremely wealthy or a secret elite enslave most of humanity for their own selfish and greedy purposes, where everyone is forced to look, act and think the same, or where anyone nation-state dominates all others.
There are many ways and perspectives to view and understand prophecies and spiritual teachings. From the perspective of my Indigenous Circle, the understanding of the concept, the Honor of One is the Honor of All, also reflects the view that our individual growth and development as individuals are mirrored in our collective growth and development as a Human Family.
It is my heartfelt conviction, experience, and conscious faith that we are approaching, after a process of many millennia, the manifestation of our Spiritual Maturity, the beginning of our Young Adulthood, as a Human Family. We have journeyed from our Collective and Individual Infancy to the threshold of our Collective and Individual Maturity—an Epoch Stage that will witness the Unification of our Human Family and the Realization of Peace on Earth.
Consider how each of us, as individuals, passes through Infancy, Childhood, and then through the challenging and dynamic Stage of Adolescence, a profound period where unexpected potentialities and capacities are revealed and manifested. Our Human Family, as a whole, is in an unprecedented transformation and transition.
The turbulence and commotion of our lives today are simply the fits and starts of our Human Family struggling to come of age. In this dynamic process, widely accepted practices and conventions, beliefs, cherished attitudes, and habits are one by one being rendered obsolete, as the imperatives of our spiritual maturity continue to dynamically manifest.
Our success in building this new way of life leading to an equitable, balanced global civilization, now unfolding, is based on our full commitment to the unfettered and independent investigation of the truth for ourselves. The obligation of each human being to acquire knowledge and understanding through their "own eyes and not through the eyes of others" requires our very careful, in-depth reflection, consideration, and investigation of the sources from which we receive our “news.”
Once people know for themselves, they will change the way they feel, speak, and act. This knowledge is rooted in gaining an ever-deepening spiritual understanding and purpose in our lives and requires changing how we live together as a Human Family.
