Prologue: The Sign of the Times
Since time immemorial, the spiritual guides of the world have been the guardians of balance between humanity and the universe. Some called them shamans, others priests, monks, seers, or keepers of ancestral wisdom. Despite their different traditions and beliefs, they all shared the same purpose: to maintain harmony between mankind, nature, and spirit.
But as the centuries passed, that balance weakened. Humanity, blinded by ambition and disconnected from its essence, had forgotten the voice of the earth and the whispers of the cosmos. Materialism had eclipsed spirituality, selfishness had replaced compassion, and the noise of the world had silenced the ancient teachings.
Then, the Signal arrived.
It was not a sound, nor a light, nor an apparition. It was a vibration, an indescribable energy that manifested in the hearts of sages and spiritual guides around the world. It did not matter if they were in the high mountains, in hidden temples, or in remote villages; they all felt it. It was a call that could not be ignored.
The Earth itself was summoning them.
Chapter I: The Call to Gather
The Message in Dreams
Deep in the forests of Wallmapu, the Machi Küyen awoke from a disturbing dream. She had seen a great circle of fire, at its center a tree of light shining brightly. Around it, figures dressed in robes of different colors murmured words in unknown tongues. Suddenly, an ancestral voice whispered:
"It is time to remember. It is time to unite."
Küyen understood that she had to travel, though she did not know where. She gathered her sacred herbs and consulted the spirits. The answer was clear: a great gathering was to take place, a meeting destined to restore the balance of the world.
The Vision of the Sioux Elder
Across the vast plains of North America, the elder Wanbli Oyate, a Sioux spiritual leader, sat atop a sacred hill. He lit his peace pipe and watched the sunset. In the smoke, he saw the same image that had appeared to the Machi: a circle of fire and a tree of light.
"The ancestors are calling me," he murmured, realizing he must prepare for a journey.
The Awakening of the Tibetan Monk
In a monastery hidden deep in the mountains of Tibet, Lama Tenzin broke his meditation as he felt a surge of energy flow through his body. He opened his eyes and saw the wind moving the prayer flags in an unusual way.
"This is the law of evolution," he whispered. "The Dharma unites us all. I must depart."
The Call to Priests and Mystics of the World
In Russia, an Orthodox priest woke in the middle of the night with an inexplicable sense of urgency. In the Middle East, a Sufi dervish felt his heart vibrate with an unknown intensity. In Ireland, a Celtic druid read the signs in the trees and knew he had to embark on a journey. In Taoist temples of China and Zen monasteries of Japan, the masters felt the same.
From every corner of the world, the sages understood that they were being summoned. This was no mere coincidence; something transcendental was about to happen.
Chapter II: The Gathering of the Wise
The guides arrived at a hidden island in the ocean, a place where nature still spoke in its purest language. No one knew exactly how they had arrived; some were guided by dreams, others by visions, and some simply followed the call of their hearts.
The meeting took place in a clearing surrounded by ancient trees. There were no temples or altars, no thrones or hierarchies—only the sacred circle that symbolized the union of all spiritual paths.
There were those who spoke different languages, but in that place, barriers did not exist. They needed no translation: the language of the soul was universal.
One by one, the sages shared their visions and concerns.
- The Machi Küyen spoke of the Earth's suffering, the harm caused by humanity’s disconnection from nature. *“The Mapu weeps,”* she said. “If we do not listen, it will soon be too late.”
- The Sioux elder recalled the ancient teachings of his people: “We have forgotten that we are part of the Great Spirit. We do not own the land; we are its guardians.”
- The Buddhist monk spoke about impermanence: “Everything is in constant change. Humanity must awaken before the change becomes irreversible.”
- The Orthodox priest emphasized the importance of love and compassion: “Religions have divided men when, in reality, we are all on the same path.”
- The Celtic druid explained the need to restore balance between the material and the spiritual: “Life is not just flesh and bone; it is energy, it is magic, it is connection with the invisible.”
The discussion lasted for days, yet there was no conflict. In that circle, there were no dogmas—only the search for a common purpose.
And then, the miracle happened.
They all experienced a collective vision: an image of a world where humans lived in harmony with nature, where spirituality was not divided by names or borders but flowed like a single river into the ocean of knowledge.
"This is the future we must build," said Lama Tenzin.
"But we cannot do it alone,"* added the Machi.
"Each of us must carry this seed to our people,"* said the Sioux elder. "Only together can we make it grow."
Chapter III: The Prophecy of the New World
Before parting ways, the sages made a sacred pact: they would never again allow fear and ignorance to divide humanity. They would return to their lands and begin to spread the message.
It would not be easy. They knew they would face resistance, that many would mock their words, that the structures of the modern world would try to silence them.
But they also knew that evolution is inevitable.
"If we do not awaken together, humanity will fall into its own shadow," said the Machi.
"But if we share our light, the Earth will be reborn," responded the Tibetan monk.
With their hearts filled with hope, the sages returned to their homes. Some wrote books, others passed on their teachings in secret, and others formed new communities.
And though the world did not change overnight, the seed had been planted.
The prophecy of the New World had begun.
The path to evolution was now in motion.
