PLANETARY CEREMONY
FOR THE HEALING THE MOTHER EARTH, FOR
PEACE AND LIFE
1. Epicenterof the Great Ceremony of Purification and Harmonization: The Place ofthe Great Ceremony of the Cosmic Sound and the 8000 Sacred Drums for the Healing of the Mother Earth, for Life and Peace, willbe in the Otomi Nation, Mexico, on March 21, 2008, at noon, with synchronized ceremonies the same day around the world. The point of connection in Mexico will be in the Otomi Ceremonial Center, State of Mexico. We will meet in a spiritual and powerful way within our hearts, in our homes, ceremonial centers and sacred places, from America, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Australian Continent, and in allregions of our Planet.
TheOtomi Olmec Toltec Teotihuacan Tradition will organize these Ceremonies from Mexico on these dates (Including the Indigenous World Congress for the Healing of Mother Earth on March 17-20, and the Atlantean Pilgrimage to the Otomi Olmec Toltec Teotihuacan Land on March 22-25), and calls to the entire world to participate, right here and right now, to unite together in this connectionto generate the most powerful field of luminous and harmonious energy that expands to all the planet.
Precedingthis magnificent event there were ceremonies. Altogether there were encounters.According to the indigenous calendar, these ceremonies are in connection with the period of the Full Moon, which will be celebratedon these days to enhance the intensity of light, health and love to all the Earth and living beings. We will be able to makeconnection ceremonies from the Spriing Equinox also, which begins on March 21.
2. The Spirit of 8,000 Sacred Drums. This ceremony is to transform the energy of the Earth’s Changes in Light and Love. The messages from our wise elders (bothmen and women) also speak to us of the need to transform drums of war into Drums of Peace and recognize the importance ofthe work for harmony and the peaceful resolution of conflicts around the world.
Wewish to leave a message of Love and Respect for all forms of Life on the planet. Life with Liberty, Justice, Dignity and SacredPeace is to recognize that Everything is Sacred, and that our mission is to work to ensure that our life is in equilibriumwith our families, communities, peoples, humanity, plants, animals, air, earth, fire, water, the Cosmos and our own heart.
Wewish to present the option for Life and Peace on Mother Earth as a legacy for present and future generations. The prophecyof the ancestors of the Otomí Native Nation, in other words, the Olmecas-Toltecas-Teotihuacanos, the Sacred Civilization ofSilence, Sound, Time, Space and Corn (Ñätho-Ñähñu-‘Ñuhmu-‘Ñuhu), is an Awakening of Indigenous Peoples and ofAll Humankind. We will come together to make the Sound of 8,000 Sacred Drums (the number may be 8,000 times 8,000 worldwide)to enable the Vibration of All the Sacred Drums to generate Mähki ‘Ñithi (Powerful Sacred Medicine) and Ts’ediPa (intensified Healing Energy) to Heal Mother Earth, focusing our energy in the Indian Ocean andthe other areas of the disaster.
3. MeetingPlace. Mexico, notwithstanding those who cannot attend, in the thousands or millions,can connect with this Grand Indigenous Ceremony (America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia) in their home or community.
