The Invention of Prophecy by Armin W. Geertz Pdf

Armin Geertz corrects what he sees as basic American and European tendencies to misrepresent non-Western cultures. Carefully documenting the historical role of prophecy in Hopi Indian religion, Geertz shows how prophecies about the end of the world have been created by the Hopi Traditionalist Movement and used by non-Indian movements, cults, and interest groups. Many of the seeming peculiarities of Hopi religion and culture have been invented, he says, by tourists, novelists, journalists, and scholars, and the millennial Traditionalist Movement has subtly co-authored European and American stereotypes of Indians. Geertz's richly detailed examples and persuasive arguments will be welcomed by all those interested in Native American studies, comparative religions, anthropology, and sociology. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.

Odyssey of the Pueblo Indians by William M. Eaton Pdf

The author, William M. Eaton, brings to his studies of Pueblo Indian culture a unique background. He was commissioned as 2nd Lt. in the USAAF with specialized training as a celestial navigator...One day as he surveyed a petroglyph panel, he was impressed with the fact that the Pueblo Indian shaman had imprinted several star Panels, namely Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, into the petroglyph panel. One set of obscure dots soon led to another, and a remarkable source of astronomical data was developed including the utilization of Pleiades, Orion, and the star Capella. This data, some of which related to star panels announcing the summer and winter solstices, was intended to initiate the annual schedules of a number of Pueblo Indian events such as the Niman Dance in Summer Solstice, the Soyal Winter Solsice Ceremony, and the Momtcit Warrior Initiation Rites in late December.

The Hopi Survival Kit by Thomas E. Mails Pdf

Now made public for the first time—an ancient Hopi spiritual guide that may hold the key to our survival in the next millennium For nearly a century the Elders of Hotevilla—a tiny village on a remote Hopi reservation in Arizona—have been guarding the secrets and prophecies of a thousand-year-old covenant that was created to ensure the well-being of the earth and its creatures. But the elders are dying, and there is no one left to pass on its remarkable teachings. Renowned Native American expert Thomas Mails was chosen by the last surviving elders to reveal to the outside world the sacred Hopi prophecy and instructions at precisely the time in history when they are most urgently needed. The Hopi Survival Kit is the first full revelation of traditional Hopi prophecy. Many of its predictions have already been realized, but the most shattering apocalyptic events are still to occur. And though this may be a sobering realization, it is also our best defense. For the Hopi teachings give detailed instructions for survival—our actions can alter the pace and intensity of what will happen and help avoid a cataclysmic end.

Roads In The Sky by Richard O. Clemmer Pdf

For the past 100 years, Hopis have had to deal with technological, economic and political changes originating from outside their society. The author documents the ways in which Hopis have used their culture and their socio-political structures to deal with change, focusing on major events in Hopi history. A study of "fourth worlders" coping with a dominant nation state, the book documents Hopi social organization, economy, religion and politics, as well as key events in the history of Hopi-US relations. Despite 100 years of contact with the dominant American culture, Hopi culture today maintains continuity with aboriginal roots while reflecting the impact of the 20th century.

New Pangaea by Brenda Duffey Pdf

After celebrating her fortieth birthday, Rani Bijan is drawn to the desert and the lifestyle of the mysterious Hopi Indians living in the cliffs of Northeastern Arizona just like their ancestors did. Her mother had fled her birth country of Iran after the brutal murder of Ranis father during the Revolution of 1978. They settled in the high desert of Albuquerque, New Mexico, which was strikingly similar to their Iranian homeland. Rani leaves Albuquerque to work at the United Nations after graduation from the University of New Mexico, but childhood memories of her father and ancient stone tablets smuggled from Iran pull Rani back to the desert where she is tangled in a web of mystery, danger, and intrigue surrounding the death of a transient somehow connected to the prophecies and the stone she carries with her to the desert. Complicating the situation is her attraction to FBI agent Josh Overton that begins to break down the protective wall Rani has built to deal with her childhood trauma. As the wall crumbles, the mystery is solved, and Rani finally understands the prophecies from her faith and their interconnection to the larger global community of faith.

United Spectrum by Levi Morris Pdf

To understand the unbalanced planet, we must examine nature and humanity both individually and as a whole. In United Spectrum, author Levi Morris explores the unity of nature and its relationship to human behaviors in six parts. Morris exposes our misunderstanding of reality by clarifying fundamental elements of experience, such as consciousness, thought, ego, fear, doubt, belief, and biological needs and behaviors. He examines the effects of humanitys disease, including the continuation and escalation of war, a growth economy resting on fossil fuels, overpopulation, and the destruction of the biosphere. He proposes that aspects of life considered to be humdrum can actually be viewed with a sense of awe. Additionally, his work combines fractal and Euclidean geometry with concepts like nothingness, infinity, and symmetry to show how nature is expressed. It explains the physics of electromagnetism, gravity, spacetime, and quantum mechanics as the singular beauty of nature. It also explores teaching, its limitations, and describes the relationship between life, death, duality, and unity. Capturing the essence of natural and human behaviors, United Spectrum investigates the universes unity and beauty, the reasons its misunderstood, and how this limited view affects the world.
