North American Indian Prophecies – Lee Brown
There was the cycle of the mineral, the rock. There was the cycle of the plant. And now we are in the cycle of the animal coming to the end of that and beginning the cycle of the human being. When we get into the cycle of the human being, the highest and greatest powers that we have will be released to us. They will be released from that light or soul that we carry to the mind. But right now we’re coming to the end of the animal cycle and we have investigated ourselves and learned what it is to be like an animal on this earth.

And what the Universe is asking us at this moment is to just be the conduit for a new understanding of ourselves, because all suffering that we have caused on this planet is because we have not understood who we really are.
