When the book was translated back in 1936 the “Pa” sound was heard as a “Ba” sound. <br /><br />Today on the reservation he is always called “Pahana,” and you are correct again that he is usually referred to as a white man. If you look at the fire clan tablet there are three curved half circles on the left hand side. These refer to the three brotherhood symbols, showing three persons who are going to help, or the universal hand-shake between brothers, page 492, Hotevilla by Mails and Evehema. My interpretation is that the red man has the tablet and it will take the cooperation of the other three races to bring the missing corner back to the Hopi, the white, the black, and the yellow. As everything Hopi all four would be involved. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment. TomThomas O.

Even to-day they have so much we could learn from if we were more open. Fortunately there are, I feel, an increasing number who do in fact recognise the deep wisdom of these unique peoples - as indeed Thomas Mills has. <br /><br />Thank you Thomas, and thank you too Mike for posting this.<br /><br />Michael.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328103579026865392.post-80634929543658843412011-09-19T10:16:13.739+02:002011-09-19T10:16:13.739+02:00Hello Billy Joe:

The White Brother will bring teachings that bring justice and unite the world.<br /><br />They expect a Messenger or Manifestation like the Guardian Who gave them their Stone Tablets.<br /><br />This Brother was to come from the East.Billy Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13418687613478926097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328103579026865392.post-10108607176305962282011-09-18T20:13:45.378+02:002011-09-18T20:13:45.378+02:00There is no "B" in the Hopi language. Pa...There is no "B" in the Hopi language. Pahana is pronounced Bahana, I think. <br /><br />Bahá'u'llah came to unite the races and religions, the peoples of the world. One of His principles is the adoption of an auxiliary universal language, which is one of the signs of the Hopi.<br /><br />When Bahá'u'lláh declared His mission and Who He was, He was wearing a red robe.<br /><br />Baha'u'llah not only fulfills the Hopi prophecies, but He fulfills the prophecies of the many world religions and spiritual traditions.<br /><br />The Navajo or Diné peoples say that in the Great Day the hogans will be nine-sided, not eight-sided. All Baha'i Houses of Worship are nine-sided, nine is a symbol of the Baha'i Faith.<br /><br />There way too many examples to give in this short space and time.<br /><br /><br />In Love and Unity,<br />BillyBilly Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13418687613478926097noreply@blogger.com
