Ancestors Speak - New Life In The Oceans

Marine scientists have discovered hundreds of new animal species on reefs in Australian waters, including brilliant soft corals and tiny crustaceans.

The scientists have told us that all life originally came from the oceans and that by hypothesis, we humans came from the oceans or at least out of the mud.  Scientists also tell us that we possibly may understand outer space better than we understand our oceans.  The article of Sept 19th on CBC from Associated Press supports that we don't know what is going on in our oceans.  The headline was about finding 100s of new creatures.  http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2008/09/19/marine-census.html

Our Ancestors have always known that the oceans are mysterious and that the oceans are the givers of life.  They also know that great monsters lurk in the oceans and that also makes the oceans the takers of life.  The Ancestors were about staying in balance with the Earth.  Their take on all these new discoveries would be "so why are you surprised" because man has been living out of harmony with everything.

The site www.endangeredspecieshandbook.org estimates that 157 species of birds have become extinct since the 1500's - and that would be the birds that we know about.  Indopedia.org states that in North America 43 bird species are extinct and 39 mammal species are extinct.  Wikipedia lists that Australia has 61 extinct animals.  And, there are certainly other lists for other countries or continents.  The point of this listing is to show that some of the Spirit Animals that spoke to our Ancestors no longer exist.  Paleontology has shown us that life forms take millions of years to develop. 

Nature is at a place where it will not have millions of years to generate new life forms. It is creating them and incubating them in the ocean, hoping that these life forms will hold the ocean together and in doing so, keep the planet healthy.  If the ocean and planet are healthy, then so are we humans. That is Oneness.
