“When the Earth is dying there shall arise a new tribe of all colours and all creeds. This tribe shall be called The Warriors of the Rainbow and it will put its faith in actions not words”.

- Native American Hopi Prophecy

For many ancient tribes the Rainbow holds a special significance as it is a focal point of Spiritual belief. It is the belief that the Rainbow is a sign of the beauty and grace that is the Great Spirit, our Creator, and it instills in us a sense of hope and love. If we take this belief and apply it to the Children of our Earth we recognize that these wonderful beings are a direct reflection of the beauty and grace of the Great Spirit.

These children have become known by many names, the Indigo’s, the Crystal’s and the Rainbow Children, but they are all the Children of our Earth. There is no separation, there is no difference, the only difference being that they remember, they know, they see and they understand. The children of the Earth are a great gift to humanity, they are the gift of our evolution and they bring with them a gift of choice, a choice of transition and ascension for the Earth Mother and all who dwell upon her.

For many centuries we have lived in a world of separations and fear. We have been taught to fear God, to fear our world, to fear each other and to fear ourselves. With this teaching we have been taught that we are separate, separate from God, separate from the Mother Earth, separate from each other and this has therefore created separations and limitations within ourselves. With the entry of these beautiful beings, our children, a new dimension has opened up for us all. This dimension is a place of healing, a place where we are able to release and heal the wounds and negative patterns of our past. We are able to connect with our natural emotional sensitivity and experience compassion and unconditional love.

The children have arrived to help us break old patterns of belief that have kept us chained to thoughts and beliefs of lack, fear and separation. They will teach us to connect with our ancient knowing and create new patterns and beliefs based on the ancient teachings of our world, the teachings of love, peace, joy and abundance. The children have not forgotten, they have not fallen behind the veil of forgetfulness that has cursed us all. They remember their purpose, they remember the very reason for their being and that is why many are in crisis at this time.

This crisis can take many forms, from alcohol abuse, to drug abuse, to learning disabilities, to autism. As we remember our true selves and heal ourselves of our own abuses we can teach our children a different way and show them a different path.

There have been many prophecies related to the coming of the Rainbow Warriors. Many of them saying that these Warriors will come when our Earth is dying and that the soul purpose of these Warriors will be to heal Mother Earth. One of the core beliefs in the Native American Tradition is the belief that all is borne of woman. We are all born from the sacred womb of the Great Mother, our Earth, and it is therefore the responsibility of us all to acknowledge her and to help to heal her. This belief and knowledge is one of the key factors defining the new children that are incarnating now.

Along our journey from birth we have all encountered obstacles and difficulties. The traumas and abuse we suffer as children, the lack of consciousness with which we operate, and the blindness that rules our culture, all serve to shut down our inner knowing and lead us off our basic path. Yet within us all is the urge to find healing and to become whole.

Our children come to us whole, our children come to us perfect, our children come to us to teach and to learn. What is it that we shall teach our children? Do we teach them a world of fear, a world of trauma and abuse; or do we teach them a world of love, beauty and harmony?

The children are here to break down our barriers that keep us from experiencing love, barriers that obscure the truth of our Divine Nature. They will break through the illusions that keep us from seeing clearly. They bring with them an awakened consciousness, a consciousness that is of the Heart, a consciousness that will bring understanding necessary for compassion. In this consciousness is their power and when this power is correctly directed we shall have transformation and we shall have healing.

But it is our job as the parents and caregivers of the children to teach them the correct use of power. It is the responsibility of each Human adult to reform themselves, to find healing, to transform themselves so that we are able to effectively parent and teach the children of our world. It is our responsibility to help and guide them so that they may find a path of truth and power that will transform our world, heal our Earth and therefore create a world of balance, love, truth, harmony and joy.

The Rainbow is one of the oldest symbols and it represents a path way of truth. This is the path of the new children – a path of truth. They are a much needed hope for a world in crisis, they are the wisdom keepers and they are ourselves. Their behaviors and patterns shall reflect our own, they are mirrors of ourselves and unless we as the adults and elders of this world change and transform ourselves we will create even more trauma, abuse, fear and separation.

These new children carry a higher vibrational energy and their gift to us is in holding and sharing this higher energy. They will assist us to shift into new and higher vibrations and therefore enable us to open up to our full potential and power. Our lesson is to listen and to remember. Listen to what our children are saying to us; listen to what they are shouting at us. Remember who we truly are, remember our purpose, remember our passion, and remember ourselves.

If you watch closely you will see that these children have an innate sense of who they are, a sense of self worth, a sense of love. But our world does not welcome these traits, our world creates limitations, our world creates doubt and a lack of belief. We need to change these traits and beliefs so that we can encourage our children to believe in themselves. We need to help our children to remember and not forget who they truly are, remember that they are the children of the Great Spirit, our Creator. To remember that their true parents are the Mother Earth and the Father Sun and that we as their human parents agreed to create a human form for them to incarnate.

We need to teach our children to be responsible. We need to teach them honour and respect for their parents, both human and Divine. In order to teach these lessons, we need to learn them ourselves. We need to remember who our true parents are. We need to heal our separations so that we find understanding, acceptance and love for ourselves.

We all have the power of free choice. We choose to allow others to influence our walk, to influence our knowing, our heart, our mind and our body. But with the new children we are given an opportunity to make new choices and to make changes from a place of love rather than from fear or anger.

It is a time for us to remember our ancient culture and heritage. We must remember the ancient rituals, stories, legends and myths as it will be with this knowledge that we are able to teach our children the correct use of power, the correct use of energy. In this way we will teach our children to direct their power and energy in ways that are constructive and creative. Ways that are more aligned with the will of the Great Spirit and therefore we will once again return to a place of harmony and balance with Mother Earth and humanity.

The children are the key to our survival as a species as the Mother Earth is eternal and She shall never die, but it is the human species that is in danger of extinction. We are seeing the danger in the way Mother Earth is showing us Her power in the form of natural disasters. She is reflecting for us the damage and the danger that we are in. We are given the choice in our children, the gift of choosing the way in which we listen, learn and understand. Our children bring to us these gifts in who they are. The potential is there and it is up to us whether we choose to ignore it and continue our way or whether we stop and listen to what the children are saying, showing and doing.
