FOR THE HEALING OF MOTHER EARTH (MARCH 13-21, 2010)
CEREMONY OF THE 8000 SACRED DRUMS (MARCH 21, 2010)
PILGRIMAGE TO THE ANCIENT OTOMI TOLTEC LANDS (MARCH 22-27, 2010)
OTOMI CEREMONIAL CENTER, MEXICO, PLANET EARTH

Due of the several conflicts and wars around the world. Due to the consequence of the great wound of Mother Earth that have been opening around the world and caused earthquakes, tidal waves (tsunami), cyclons and hurricanes in our lands, the Elders, Wisdom Keepers and Guardians of the Otomí Olmec Toltec Teotihuacan Tradition of Mexico urgently send this message to the heart and conscience of the world and all the humanity.

A. We send our greatest offering of songs and prayers of light, peace and love to all the families and communities of the disaster's areas. We join with all our sisters and brothers so that they can find healing soon to get back in balance physically, mentally and spiritually and in all dimensions of their life which has been affected by the catastrophes. We connect in spirit and truth so that the souls who have passed over can find peace and the hope of life can continue.

B. We call to all the women and men of Planet Earth to work together, to act in all possible forms to avoid the appearance of epidemics and infectious diseases in order to stop greater deaths and their undesirable consequences. The humanitarian aid must arrive and occur in physical, material or economic, mental and spiritual way, always sustained by the love for life, Mother Earth and peace.

C. We, the Indigenous Peoples and Nations as Earth Guardians, know that the centers of energy and vibratory fields of several regions of the Earth have been affected considerably by the loss of the sacred life and the disconnection with the spirit of the Mother Earth. This is the consequence of the wars of the groups that seek the power and the control of the world, xenophobia, racial discrimination and genocide against traditional peoples, the terrestrial and submarine atomic experiments, the pollution and devastation of the planet, with the consequential extermination of plants, animals and the human species.

The catastrophe of the tsunami has caused vibrations of pain and weeping, waves of pain, anguish, suffering, fear sensations, preoccupation, deficiency of confidence, rage, solitude, neglect and death have been created in the place of the disaster and propagated on all the planet. This can cause vibratory fields of negative energy in different levels and forms that can in turn cause diverse epidemics and diseases, affecting Mother Nature, human beings mainly, and also our sister plants and animals.

Today it is important to transform that energy in acts of Compassion and Sacred Love. All we are responsible in which it is happening to us. It is time to feel, to think, to say and to act, for transforming this situation, is necessary to generate high frequencies of sonorous vibration, with the power of prayers, with acts of brotherly aid and universal love.

D. We consider it urgent to make a great connection with the energetic and healing power of cosmic sound. Let us feel the medicine of the vibration of the sound of humanity through our voices in prayers, meditations, music and songs, with ceremonial musical instruments such as sacred drums, including the drumbeat of our heart.

According to a Prophecy revealed by the OtomI Elder Sages to the Indigenous Peoples and all Humankind from a Vision of our Venerable Ancestors, the day when the Sounds of Eight Thousand Sacred Drums join together will be the beginning of the true Healing of Mother Earth, of All the Species and of the Human Family – which is now in total disequilibrium – in order to be able to live together on the road to Sacred Peace, in harmonious union with the Universe, Mother Nature, the Community, the Family and our own Hearts. It is time to re-unify ourselves and rediscover for ourselves all the Seeds of the Four Directions in order to reactivate cosmic energy, heal historical wounds and heal our Mother Earth by respecting life and the liberty and dignity of our Peoples.

E. We call to all the family of the four directions to join us for the healing of the wound caused by the tsunami, by the lack of connection with the cosmos, and with the sacred. Let us honor all the people who have died; our thousands of sisters and brothers who have offered their life for the healing of the Mother Earth, for Life and Peace.

F. According to the following sacred principles:

§ It is urgent to seal and heal the wounded vortex of the Mother Earth.
§ Is our responsibility to identify and activate the Energetic Power Centers of our Sacred Places.
§ It is the work of all to seed and fortify the conscience of Love and Respect to our Mother Earth.
§ It is the recommendation of the indigenous ancestral people to create and practice the Great Culture of Peace and Life.
§ It is important to recognize the energetic and healing use of our sacred instruments as a principle objective of our Indigenous Mission.

G. With planetary harmonic connection, this Ceremony of 8000 Sacred Drums will help to regenerate fields of powerful vibration having no limits, creating an enormous effect of cosmic sound in high frequency that will be concentrated on the places where the disasters happened and then this energy will be expanded toward, in concentric waveform by sea, air and earth, radiating intensified light, impregnating and bathing the love of all the human family, curing all the living beings (human, animals and plants of the zones directly affected and of all the planet). This will help to purify and to harmonize Mother Earth and the Humanity.

Through the help of our love there will emerge a positive field of powerful vibration which will help to transform the suffering, the wrath and the pain, in greater peace with justice and dignity for everybody. That is why we call to transform all the conflicts by pacifist routes and non-violence. Right here and right now, we, the Guardians of the Earth, for Life and Peace, Women, Men, Children, Young people, Elders of all the directions, are called to reaffirm the human brotherhood and survival of the Planet. Because the past, present and future generations must know that we have existed honoring our mission of Light and Love, that our sacred fire stays ignited, that our sound continues being heard and our Song of Life blooms forever.

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 (both men and women) also speak to us of the need to transform drums of war into Drums of Peace and recognize the importance of the work for harmony and the peaceful resolution of conflicts around the world.

We wish to leave a message of Love and Respect for all forms of Life on the planet. Life with Liberty, Justice, Dignity and Sacred Peace is to recognize that Everything is Sacred, and that our mission is to work to ensure that our life is in equilibrium with our families, communities, peoples, humanity, plants, animals, air, earth, fire, water, the Cosmos and our own heart.

We wish to present the option for Life and Peace on Mother Earth as a legacy for present and future generations. The prophecy of the ancestors of the Otomí Native Nation, in other words, the Olmecas-Toltecas-Teotihuacanos, the Sacred Civilization of Silence, Sound, Time, Space and Corn (Ñätho-Ñähñu-'Ñuhmu-'Ñuhu), is an Awakening of Indigenous Peoples and of All 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'edi Pa (intensified Healing Energy) to Heal Mother Earth, focusing our energy in the Indian Ocean and the other areas of the disaster.
