Our native American friends the Hopi believe in the Star Children. Modern-day hippies call them the Indigo Children — a new strain of paranormally-inclined humans which are believed to have emerged during this Age of Aquarius to try to bring us back from the brink of total destruction — but I’m pretty sure the hippies got their ideas from the Hopis.
Indigo Children can be identified by their ADD, ADHD, OCD, Asperger syndrome, and even autism. Often nervous and fragile because they function on a higher vibrational frequency, they behave much like the three empaths in the Minority Report — unable and/or unwilling to interact with most of the modern world, because it is too loud for them, because they see and feel more than most.
The Hopi contend it is the Star Children who will ultimately repair the Koyaanisqatsi — their word for “life of corruption and turmoil, life out of balance.” Arwen told me this, because Arwen’s mother is a bit of a new-ager and told her. Or maybe Arwen’s mother is a bit of a new-ager because her daughter is a preternaturally talented artist-seer, a reluctant empath afflicted with back shivers and psychic twinges, who walks to the phone before it rings.
When she was a very young child, Arwen was fond of telling her mother “people don’t do that where I come from.” When her mother asked her where it was exactly she hailed from, without fail, Arwen would point to the Pleiades, her favorite star collection. Arwen hates all the New Agey buillshit surrounding “Indigo Children” now, but doesn’t deny the fact she might be one herself. She’s good friends with a Hopi shaman who taught her many things about the world, and the end of the world.
The Pleiades, incidentally, is a constellation directly associated with the Star Children. Her Hopi dude told her that, years later. Not her mom.
Anyhoo, the Hopi believe when the “Blue Star” makes its appearance in the heavens, the Fifth World will emerge. Some “helpers” will shake the earth a couple times, and if they shake it the right way, the Fifth World can come without disaster. Some believe the earth-shaking times were WWI and WWII.
However, if the “helpers” — interpreted as whole populations rather than individuals — fail to make peace and see us as a human family, then World War III will be started by those ancient peoples who first received “the light” (i.e., the cradles of civilization: Palestine, China, India, and Africa). America will be wiped out by “gourds of ashes” that fall to the ground, destroying once-fertile land and rivers, and causing a disease nothing can cure. Ultimately, the Blue Star’s arrival will herald a day of purification.
The white man call this day of purification the Apocalypse.
Most Hopi believe the Blue Star to be (or to occur in conjunction with) a “house in the sky” that was also prophecied — space shuttles, airplanes, maybe a comet. But could it be television? Could the “house in the sky” be the lofty place of importance we give to such a hypnotizing and usually-worthless drug? Could the “Blue Star” be the ominous glow emanating from living rooms all across the world? Could the “purification” be the use of this machine for a massive social shakeup which leads to radical self-reliance and a greater sense of equality and balance?
Could the Blue Star come in time to thwart the “gourds of ashes” in the inevitable third shaking of the Earth? Or are we too late? Too far gone into the Koyaanisqatsi?
Shite. Are we getting ready for World War Three?
The Hopi also prophesy that on the Day of Purification, they will be flown to other planets on ships without wings.
Could the Blue Star be a spaceship?

I mean, they’ve been right about all the other stuff. Some Hopi end-time prophecies include the white man building iron snakes that traverse America (railroads), as well as a spiderweb in the air above it (telephone and electrical lines) and stone rivers that criss-cross each other (highways). The second-to-last sign is the oceans turning black — any oil spills going on out there in the world? — and then eventually, the Earth’s poles flip, and everything floods, and the Blue Star arrives.
——
Yeah.
And.
Just one more thing Arwen told me.
The Hopi also say the world is going to end when their tribe’s well runs dry.
The city of Las Vegas just ran the Hopi’s well dry last year.
(ooo. spooooooooky)
