  Black! Dark is the deep water from a distance, but not so when in the palm
  Black! No gleam save in the Eye, no anchor, no shelter in the storm
  Black! The winds blow fierce within You, no mountain can withstand the Night
  Black! You are Nothing. Nothing is all. All is Nothing.

  I tell you. Go to Him in whatever attitude you like. If you are really after the Truth, He won’t be annoyed by your questions, even if you ask one hundred and one. It may be the worst of questions. Don’t be afraid. -Kirpal Singh

  To comprehend the whole we must first understand ourselves. The root of understanding lies in oneself, and without the understanding of oneself, there is no comprehension of the world; for the world is oneself. The other - the friend, the relation, the enemy, the neighbor, near or far - is yourself. Self-knowledge is the beginning of right thinking, and in the process of self-knowledge, the infinite is discovered.

  The prophecy of White Feather from the Bear Clan of the Hopi:

  “The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This the elders everywhere know. The Signs over many years have been fulfilled, and so few are left.
  
     “This is the First Sign : We were told of the coming of the white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana — men who took the land that was not theirs and who struck their enemies with thunder.
     “This is the Second Sign : Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices.
     “This is the Third Sign : A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers.
     “This is the Fourth Sign : The land will be crossed by snakes of iron.
     “This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider’s web.
     “This is the Sixth Sign : The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun.
     “This is the Seventh Sign : You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it.
     “This is the Eighth Sign : You will see many youth, who wear their hair long like our people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn our ways and wisdom.
     “And this is the Ninth and Last Sign : You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of the Hopi people will cease.

     “These are the Signs that great destruction is here: The world shall rock to and fro. The white man will battle people in other lands — those who possessed the first light of wisdom. There will be many columns of smoke and fire such as the white man has made in the deserts not far from here. Those who stay and live in the places of the Hopi shall be safe. Then there will be much to rebuild. And soon, very soon afterward, Pahana will return. He shall bring with him the dawn of the Fifth World. He shall plant the seeds of his wisdom in our hearts. Even now the seeds are being planted. These shall smooth the way to the Emergence into the Fifth World.”
