tHE bOOK OF THE HOPI
EMERGENCE TO THE THIRD WORLD
Clearly, the Hopi describe a planet out of control and for a long time "the elements that had comprised the Second World were frozen into a motionless and lifeless lump of ice."
It's people were underground and kept warm with the Ant People, conserving their food, their waist kept getting progessively smaller, and they kept bussy weaving "sashes and blankets together and told stories."
The Ant People are us also because we survived, being once "round" in body according to Aristophanus, the writers of the Koran describing the development of the embryo likewise, and the writers of the Bible in Ezikiel, have "four divine beings" in the likeness of man" but "the appearance of a wheel" which "went upon four sides", and "the spirit of the living creature was in the wheel", and meant is a stage in our evolution, and nothing else, I repeat.
It was our waist which began to get smaller and smaller as we became upright. Like ants we have a survival instinct that just won't quit. Like ants we are helpless as one but strong in numbers. Like ants we stockpile food, and take our stuff inside in the winter, and like ants we stand in the sun for warmth when it peers through the winterly clouds. Ants gather honey, store it in one of their two stomachs called "crop" for their fellow ants and feed each other. They share honey "via mouth to mouth transfer", so we can make honey sweet knowledge which is transferred mouth to mouth ot ear. Jesus also is said to have kissed Magdalena often on the mouth, he loved her more than any other disciple gave her the knowledge for safekeeping, the child or children they are looking for in the dead letter, and those who are waiting for his "return" in Person will wait forever because the second coming is the now age of women, the re-deeming factor. Observing, this is happening right under our noses, and what is actually happening on our planet is the manifestation of our collective mind receptive to a new era, forcing great change by desperation because we can't take it anymore.
Moreover, like humans, ants have a fontanelle from which proceeds a "canal" seperating the right and left hemispheres of the brain, which ends in the "glabella" in the middle of the forehead, they two are connected, the "open door and dampness" of the wise Hopi. I don't know about ants, but in humans the fontanelle closes at the age of about 1 year, so the time the Hopi describe here was very early in our evolution as traced via our anatomy.
According to the book, the Second World Topka means "Dark Midnight", its color was blue and its mineral was silver - and the blue and silvery moon. It was mid-night because it was a major new beginning, a mid-point in our journey to the current human form and estate.
A parallel of the triad, Taiowa, Sotuknang, and Spider Women, can be made with the upper triangle of the Sefirothal Tree of the Kabalists: Taiowa=Kether/Crown, the unknown Old One/Ancient of Days, from whom eminates "the first power and instument" Sotuknang=Hochmah, Abu or father of wisdom. Satuknang says to the people that if he hears them singing joyful praises to their Creator he will know that "you are my children." Sotuknang created Spider Women who was to remain on earth. She, of creative wisdom, is Binah completing the upper triangle. Spider Women remained on earth as Sophia and Mary in the Western system.
Sotuknang and Spider Women, or Hochmah and Binah, are the combined wisdom, intelligence, and understanding of the world Soul, as it were. The other nine sefira are seperate, but in the middle and below Ketter/Taiowa is "Da'ath", not usually shown on the tree because it is not a sefira but called the Abyss. This Abyss "the people" had to overcome on the way down, for Topka's "derection was south", and the "Dark Midnight" has to be overcome on the way up. Adam, or humanity was in deep sleep during this transition, and on the way up we have to become consciously aware of what happend then, and the being consciously aware is the overcoming itself.
To understand the wisedom of the Hopi takes more than paddling a canoe from one world to the next. I'm not saying they didn't fashion and use canoe's to go island hoping as they did once the twin had solidified the earth enough for human habitation, but in the time we are talking about "the bearded gods" or ancient "serpent" wisdom, "came from across the sea, space, in boats that moved by themselves without paddles" after the great flood, and the earth itself was Noah's Ark" etc., etc.
And Sotuknang ordered the twins back to the poles, the earth resumed an orderly orbit and began to warm . . .
