霍皮族預言
原文/記載(公海,保留)
霍皮預言流傳記載提到「第三次世界大戰」同核戰:
World War III will be started by those peoples who first revealed the light (the divine wisdom or intelligence) in the other old countries (India, China, Islamic Nations, Africa.)
The United States will be destroyed, land and people, by atomic bombs and radioactivity. Only the Hopis and their homeland will be preserved as an oasis to which refugees will flee. Bomb shelters are a fallacy. "It is only materialistic people who seek to make shelters. Those who are at peace in their hearts already are in the great shelter of life. There is no shelter for evil."
The war will be "a spiritual conflict with material matters. Material matters will be destroyed by spiritual beings who will remain to create one world and one nation under one power, that of the Creator."
Hopi prophecy states that World War III will be started by the people who first received the Light -- China, Palestine, India and Africa. When the war comes, the United States will be destroyed by "gourds of ashes" which will fall to the ground, boiling the rivers and burning the earth, where no grass will grow for many years, and causing a disease that no medicine can cure. This can only mean nuclear or atomic bombs.
(翻譯:第三次世界大戰會由最早「揭示光明」嘅舊國度人民挑起,包括印度、中國、伊斯蘭國家同非洲。美國會畀原子彈同輻射毀滅,土地同人民都難逃,只有霍皮人同佢哋嘅家園會保留做綠洲,畀難民湧入避難。防空洞係冇用嘅——「只有物質主義嘅人先會去起防空洞,心入面和平嘅人已經喺生命嘅大避難所入面,邪惡冇避難所。」呢場仗係「精神對抗物質」,物質會被留下嚟創造「一個世界、一個國家、一個權力」嘅精神存在所毀滅。美國會被「灰葫蘆」(gourds of ashes)毀滅——啲嘢跌落地面,煮滾河流、燒燬土地,好多年草都生唔到,仲會帶嚟無藥可醫嘅病。呢個只能夠指核彈/原子彈。)
白話解說
呢段係成個預言入面最「重口味」、亦最敏感嘅部分,講世界大戰同核戰。
「灰葫蘆」即係核彈。 預言用咗一個好文學性嘅比喻——「gourds of ashes」(灰葫蘆/灰燼葫蘆)。記載自己都註明:「呢個只能夠指核彈或者原子彈,冇其他武器做到呢啲效果。」「煮滾河流、燒燬大地、草不生、無藥可醫嘅病」——呢啲全部係核輻射災難嘅經典描述。
邊個挑起第三次世界大戰? 記載話,會由「最早揭示光明」嘅古文明民族挑起:印度、中國、伊斯蘭國家、非洲。要注意,呢個講法帶住「東方=源頭」嘅霍皮/原住民世界觀,但同時都係一個好敏感、好有爭議嘅斷言。我哋只係如實呈現原文,唔代表認同——呢啲族群分類同「挑起戰爭」嘅指控,本身就有簡化同煽動性。
美國嘅命運。 記載話美國會俾核武毀滅,只有霍皮人同佢哋家園做綠洲。呢句亦好反映原住民對白人殖民者嘅複雜感受——一方面佢哋深受其害,另一方面呢種「得我哋至得救」嘅想法,亦係末世預言常見嘅「選民」心態。
「防空洞冇用」嘅哲學。 呢段有個好有意思嘅地方:預言唔係叫人起防空洞避難,而係話「心入面和平嘅人已經喺生命嘅大避難所,邪惡冇避難所」。呢個係純精神層面嘅講法——救贖唔係靠物質防護,而係靠內在嘅和平同行正道。用返霍皮四世界觀睇,呢個就係「守得住正道嘅人先係下一世界嘅種子」。
考證:呢段係咪古已有之? 要潑一盆冷水。學者 Jason Colavito 同 Armin Geertz 都指出,呢啲「世界大戰」「核彈」嘅預言,明顯係冷戰年代(1950–60年代)先出現嘅產物——核武威脅係嗰陣時先有嘅嘢,呢啲預言將當時嘅恐懼「事後」包裝成「自古相傳」。所以呢段與其話係「古代預言」,不如話係「冷戰焦慮嘅神話化」。我哋照實介紹,但讀者要明白佢嘅時代背景。
