I heard about this again last night, and connected a couple dots to who Rosa Maria Cabrera was. Thank you for sharing the loss of a bright light in the world.

Thank you for making us aware of the death of Mayan GrandMother Rosa Maria Cabrera.

Today I had time to read this:

Year 2008 Message of Mayan GrandMother Rosa Maria Cabrera

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/prepare4contact/message/44878

An excerpt:

"...When we pray to Spirit it is to hear Sun's song, and the
cries of Mother Earth. To become a messenger of all our
relations.

We are destroying our families and animals just for fun,
calling it 'sport for hunting or in the bull fights' but
not for surviving. We are seeing children killing the
little birds in the trees just to test their accuracy
for killing them and we do nothing.

We are letting our Governments give permissions to continue
opening mines bleeding, new petroleum wounds, cutting the
living mountains for taking the sacred stones, silver and
gold and for each of these works they need thousands and
thousands of water that later on turn contaminated.

We are letting these big ships throw away all their garbage
to the ocean, plastic bags and our Superior animals of the
water are eating them and die. We are taking the coral from
the seas to sell them in fancy jeweleries with an incredible
value. We are selling wooden statues made our of big trees
that took 200 years for them to grow to get this size and
our governments do nothing because they have 'permission'
if they are carved trees. Isn't it the same to cut a complete
tree and carve it?

In my country Guatemala, I can see people without a house,
without a shelter, sleeping in the wet soil, Elders carrying
heavy things on their hurting backs, without shoes and bleeding
feet and no one do nothing while others have lots of abundance
and dislike sharing or giving what they do not need. I can see
tourists coming to Guatemala, trying to pay less for what our
indigenous people sell without thinking that with one sale,
our people can live for a week while the tourist will spend
the same money in one dinner.

In the first world, they serve plenty amount of food in
restaurants and if you do not eat all, they just throw it
away to the garbage while others in Asia are dying of hunger.
There is no balance in this world and peace will not come
till greed stops. We can see all this money that will cost
the new olympic games in China while they just are passing
through a great tragedy that need to stop wasting all this
money and help their sisters and brothers who have nothing
to eat or no places to live..."

What is the solution to the problem the grandmother describes? To understand that, we have to understand his-story for the lie it is. We have to get back to herstory which the Grandmother represents. Not an easy task. These problems have definite causes which have to be addressed. In our culture they are buried under layers of taboos so that we are not conscious of them. However, they operate upon us continuously through the unconscious. I have much to say on the subject but this is not the place. Thanks for the Grandmother reminder. Peace.

aho Tyler, Suza, Dennis ...

it is the deepest sadness.

that a woman, a victim; a grandmother, a guardian of mother nature; an aboriginal, enemy of the war machine,

one whose whole life and experience, world community, and Mother Earth has been raped by the western death guilds -- medical, corporate, religious, educational, governmental, newsmedia, all -- whose whole philosophical epicentre was and is this all-now-time of the turning from death-dealing to life-enabling ...

should chose death, even planned death, accompanied by two Moons of continuous ancestral ceremony ...

when Her/Our only/universal/clear/whole ways, means and teachings are of life, of harmony, of healing.

how can this be, that she took her life, to set an example of turning around the global economy of abuse, violence, consumption ... to one of living, growing, replaneting the forests, rainforests, whales and dolphins, turtles and seals, living oceans, rivers, wetlands, all our sacred relations?

ending the murder of the girls, the torture and servitude of women, the global caste/class system where the asians and africans, polynesians and latin americans, persians and arabs, all people of color and culture, must be 'meat and maid' for the whites? for the aristocracy? for the rockefellers and rothschilds? bush, cheney, clinton, gore? for the monarchies?

GrandMother Jill Sorel wrote to us,

My "daughter" Rosa Maria took her life Saturday, early in the morning of B'AATZ: the symbol of the Life of a Human Being; the umbilical cord; the new beginning. Don Alejandro and Elizabeth did ceremony with her body and she was cremated on Sunday. I grieve for my daughter and look to the lessons that come my way about this. More ceremony to come for 49 days. Please send her to the light. Much love, Jill, Council of Grandmothers

[In the Mayan Calendar, Saturday was B'AATZ: which symbolizes the Life of a Human Being; the start; the umbilical cord. B'AATZ weaves time and Unity. She chose this day. She lit a candle for each energy beginning with B'AATZ and ended with TZ'I which is the energy that symbolizes Divine Justice. Let us all send her to the light. My dear one, my dearest daughter, Rosa Maria. Grandmother Jill]

...

there is only one thing I can think -- our most dear Sisters, GrandMothers --

that failing to exorcise the pain, the patriarchal karma, in her own brain, her own body, our Coyote Woman, Rosa Maria Cabrera, found no peace, no respite from the pain, except in the thought that she could, by taking her life, make everyone of the GrandMothers worldwide, and all of their daughters, and all of their students, cry out saying: "No, please!"

let us allow this economy of death to perish, to be healed and sung away for ten thousand years!

it is not death which is our whole, connected, fruitful, complete song.

She is life, sacred creation, the divine GLOBAL multicultural harmonies.

where, once again, women do not need to be tortured and battered in order to with-hold their spiritual sight.

the girls do not have to be bludgeoned to death with a shovel, and buried out of sight.

all our living relations bulldozed, covered with asphalt, run down by the 'automobile' [as if 'it' runs on its own dead, zombie, agenda].

let us complete this turning of global consciousness, as prophecied for Year 2008, away from the pain and sub-luminal, to the happiest peace, of wind and sun and water, quiet of rustling leaves, chirping birds, loving Mother Earth.

the wholly illuminated rainbow song of all cultures, all indigenous tribes, all wild creatures the orchestra, all forests, rainforests, rivers, oceans our garden symphonic cathedral of mountain and meadow ...

emerald thee, and me ...

just one, wee one,

we.

..

with and for all our sacred relations,

Millennium Twain

Rosa Maria Cabrera, she took her life friday July 25 around 9pm guatemalan time.Rest in Peace

Rosa María is the sun that always shines unconditional. Many people are like the moon that some times you have full moon, other times you don´t.
Roma María didn´t took her life, it was already taken.
I wish many spiritual people could have at least 10% of all she gave without taking nothing back.
