Four groups of people must come together and work together for earth to survive. The red, yellow, white, and black have been each given a sacred trust, wisdom which must be allowed to grow and shared with the other groups for use to survive. God knows if he gave more than a share of sacred wisdom to any one group that one would subvert the other three and that for us to survive, He designed it so that each in equal portion would bring to the table knowledge which would be needed to perpetuate us.

To the red he gave knowledge of the earth, how to preserve and care for it. To the yellow, he gave the air (spirit), to connect to the spiritual for power. To the white he gave fire, fire is at the center of everything they do, it is a powerful force providing the spark of industry, for example the spark is at the center of the internal combustion engine, but also the nuclear weapon which will destroy us, if this, the wisdom of fire, is not tempered by the other 3, especially the red which teaches us to balance this with a respect for the earth. To the black, He gave the wisdom of the life perpetuating force (water) which renews the generations. Music is a part of water, like waves a song ebbs and flows and from currents and eddies new musical styles are recognized and brought to the attention of the other 3 through the wisdom of water.

Of course, these 4 groups merged and partial wisdom was shared among them, since humans came out of Africa, 40,000 years ago which explains why we have seen achievements, glimpses in the other 3 of the wisdom of the 4th, but the source can always be traced back to the wisdom entrusted to the one, which was later manifested in others.

However, none of these wisdoms was meant to dominate the other 3 and the result of such, especially in the case of the wisdom of fire dominating and practically destroying the wisdom of the earth is the reason the earth is on the brink of destruction today.

Four hundred years ago, when the first settlers came to America, you could drink out of every river and fish out of any stream. When, the first Europeans came, there were 60 million Native Americans who had lived there for 10 thousand years. They had lived there and the wisdom of the earth entrusted to them had allowed them to preserve the land they lived on in the same pristine state as when they found it. They balanced the wisdom of fire with the wisdom of earth, water, and spirit to create a harmonious existence for themselves. Fire lit their home, cooked their food, water, of which we are 97% sustained and perpetuated generations, Spirit tapped them into the Creator and wisdom from the ages, from the earth came the wisdom of how to live on earth, that all living things and the planet share a common connection, a common bond which must be respected.

Today the spirit of fire has almost all but stamped out the spirit of the earth. In less than 400 years, the settlers and their offspring have reduced the Native American population, through programs such as Manifest Destiny, the Trail of Tears of 1838, and the reservation from 60 million to less than 800,000. They have virtually been exterminated. The result of this is that the people of the wisdom of fire have virtually forgotten how to live on earth and there are massive holes in the ozone, and a garbage dump twice the size of the state of Texas in the Pacific as industrialists and multinationals continue to rape the planet for greed as we continue to use plastic products, and forget that the earth is only loaned to us by our children. They must reap what they sow. Good or bad.

This is why no one wisdom must dominate the other three. The fact that one has, fire over earth, is how we have gotten to where we are today. The earth will purify and renew itself. This process will be violent if we don't work together, equally sharing our wisdom to prevent it.

We are being tested. We must not attend the carnival like Lampwick, being as the wick of a lamp, burning out quickly.
