"In the cycle of time, from the beginning to the end, this time we are in now will bring the purification of all things. They say this is the hardest time to live, but it is also the greatest honor to be alive to live and see this."

"When you see people living in the sky on a permanent basis, you will know the Great Spirit is about to grab the earth, this time not with one hand, but with both hands."

"Now things are going to speed up. Now things are going to really happen fast.
Time is going to go so fast. People on the earth will move faster and faster. Grandchildren will not have time for grandparents. Parents will not have time for children. It will seem like time is going faster and faster. The elders advised us that as things speed up, you yourself should slow down. The faster things go, the slower you go. Because there's going to come a time when the earth is going to be shaken a third time.

The more we share the Message, the more we will cushion the Third Shaking of the Earth,
and the easier it will be on ourselves and others.
We are now within the purification of all things. Non-Natives call this the "Apocalypse".
The Native elders call this the "Purification".

But don't despair. It sounds terrible, but we will survive it. We will live through it.
I don't think there's anyone chosen to live through it, but some people will."
