The Rainbow Warriors

Hopi prophecy

Some time in the future, the Indians said, the animals would begin to

disappear. People would no longer see the wolf, or the bear, or the

eagles. And, the story goes, the giant trees would also disappear. And

people would fight with each other and not love each other. And, the

story goes, the beautiful rainbow in the sky would fade away, and

people would not see the rainbow anymore.

Well, children would come. And these children would love the animals,

and they would bring back the animals. They would love trees, and they

would bring back the giant trees. And these children would love other

people and they would help people to live in peace with, each other.

And these children would love the rainbow, and they would bring back

the beautiful rainbow in the sky. For this reason the Indians called

these children the rainbow warriors.

'O life of this our spring!

The Book of Thel

why fades the lotus of the water?

Why fade these children of the spring, born but to smile and fall?

Ah! Life is like a wat'ry bow, and like a parting cloud,

Like a reflection in a glass, like shadows in the water,

Like dreams of infants, like a smile upon an infant's face,

Like the dove's voice, like transient day, like music in the air.

Ah! gentle may I lay me down and gentle rest my head,

And gentle sleep the sleep of death, and gentle hear the voice

Of him that walketh in the garden of the evening time.'

Porphyry records a theosophical doctrine:

'Steep is the road and rough that leads to heaven,

Entered at first through portals bound with brass.

Within are found innumerable paths,

Which for the endless good of all mankind

They first revealed, who Nile's sweet waters drink.

From them the heavenward paths Phoenicia learned,

Assyria, Lydia, and the Hebrew race:'

Corinthians, 13:1-13

"If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a

resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. And if I have the gift of

prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have

all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.

If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I

may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love

is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not

inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is

not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not

rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all

things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to

nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be

brought to nothing.

For we know partially and we prophesy partially, but when the perfect

comes, the partial will pass away.

When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child,

reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.

At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to

face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am

fully known.

So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these

is love." (Corinthians, 13:1-13)"
