The New Day.
Shunkmanu sat by the tranquil shores of a beautiful mountain lake, surrounded by his beloved grandchildren, Oliver, Maya, Nahtayu, and Ella. The sun's gentle rays danced on the water, creating a mesmerizing display of flickering light. Shunkmanu began to share with a smile.
"My beloved grandchildren, I want to share a special story with you today," Shunkmanu began, his eyes filled with warmth. "It's a story about the new time we live in, a time of great change and renewal."
Ella, the eldest, asked, "What's so special about this time, Grandpa?"
Shunkmanu replied, "Well, you see, the prophecies of our ancestors have been fulfilled. Creation itself has been reborn. It's like the world has awakened from a long, spiritual wintertime, and now we are in the reviving spring of a new Day, this new era. The Day that shall not be followed by night."
Curious as ever, Maya asked, "What's different about this new era, Grandpa?"
Shunkmanu continued, "Everything has been renewed in this new Day, and all is unfolding in a new way. Our arts and the way we work are transforming, and we've made incredible scientific discoveries. New inventions have changed the way we live. Even how we dress and relate to each other is new."
Nahtayu, who loved science, said, "What kind of discoveries, Grandpa?"
Shunkmanu smiled at Nahtayu's curiosity. "Discoveries, like the internet, have let us understand the world like never before. It's about the unity and harmony of science and spirituality. We've learned that they are not separate but connected, just like all of us."
Oliver, the youngest, looked up at her grandfather and asked, "What do we do with all this newness, Grandpa?"
Shunkmanu's eyes twinkled with pride as he said, "We embrace it, Oliver. We embrace these new principles that guide us in this new era of the Oneness of our Human Family."
"First, my dear grandchildren, as I just mentioned, there is the Principle of the Prior Unity and Oneness of Our Human Family and All Life. We must remember that we are all connected and emerge from the same seed from the beginning of time that has no beginning. Like the waves in this lake, we must treat each other with love and respect."
Maya nodded thoughtfully, absorbing the wisdom of her grandfather.
"Next is the Equality of Women and Men," Shunkmanu continued. "It means that in this new era, this new Day, men and women stand side by side, like the two wings of an eagle, with equal rights and opportunities. This has always been a spiritual reality, but now humanity is awakening to this truth ."
Oliver, Nahtayu, Maya, and Ella listened attentively, understanding the importance of gender equality, as their grandfather had always shared this principle with them.
"And then, there is the principle of Balancing the Extremes of Wealth and Poverty," Shunkmanu said. "In this new Day, we ensure that no one has too much while others have too little. It's about fairness and sharing."
Nahtayu, with his heart for justice, nodded in agreement.
"We also must eliminate all prejudices of any form," Shunkmanu continued. "In this new world emerging around us, we celebrate our differences and understand that diversity strengthens us."
Ella, with her innocence, smiled at the idea of celebrating differences.
"And let's not forget the Independent Investigation of Truth," Shunkmanu added. "In this new era, we each seek knowledge and truth with open hearts and minds, just like when you ask questions. We each see, hear, and know by ourselves. Not through the eyes and ears of others. "
The grandchildren looked at each other, recognizing the value of seeking truth for themselves.
Shunkmanu concluded, "These principles are like a compass guiding us through this new time. As you grow, remember them and strive to live by them. You will be part of the beautiful renewal that is taking place in our world.
Until these values and principles take root, until old ways and concepts that no longer serve are cast aside and forgotten, our world will remain in turmoil, unable to reflect the perfections of the Spiritual Worlds of Light."
Oliver, Maya, Nahtayu, and Ella sat by Shunkmanu's side, feeling the sun's and their grandfather’s warmth and love. Together, they would carry these principles forward, ensuring all the world awaken to the New Spiritual Springtime.
