The birth of Miracle, the first white buffalo born in over three generations,
caught the attention of the world just a few years ago.
The real miracle was not, however, just her rare whiteness; she was a powerful spiritual symbol to many peoples, both native and not.
As a symbol for World Peace and the Unity of all peoples, she was visited by Religious and State Dignitaries; even the
Dalhi Lama made his way down the dirt farm road to the Heider Ranch where Miracle lives.
Miracle was, and indeed still is, the fulfillment of Native American prophecy,
a plea for humanity to walk in the "Light", and a symbol of hope for the future
of all generations.
As if to emphasize the importance of the message of Miracle, Mother Nature
soon produced another white buffalo. Then another. Then another... and
another.
A couple died of natural causes within days; White buffalo usually have an extremely short lifespan. One was found shot by an unknown person or persons
while still just a few months old.
But the Universal Forces... Mother Nature... or Spirit, as I sometimes
call that great unseen All That Is, will not be stopped.
The Importance of the message represented by the white buffalo will be repeated and emphasized until
it is recognized by all. Spirit is the seventh white buffalo to be born within
the past few years. That in itself is phenomenal and defies all scientific
explanation.
Chief Arvol Looking Horse, 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Pipe, in a private conversation with me, stated, "This is a very important sign, to not only our people, but all people and all nations everywhere...
This is the seventh, and comes in times of great importance to us all... Our prophecies tell us that we are at the crossroads. We are faced with either
chaos and disaster, or we can unite spiritually in peace and harmony.... I
will pray for full understanding."
Chief Arvol Looking Horse is also a active World Peace advocate, and founder of World Peace and Prayer day - see

To me, the birth of "Spirit" is surely a sign of just that - The Birth Of Spirit. The coming of Spirit into our physical world in a much stronger way than ever before; the entering of Spirit into our hearts and lives.
She is Mother Nature Herself, reminding us of the Path or harmony with all beings
that we as a species have such difficulty seeing. She is a reminder of the ancient
prophecies of many peoples, and beliefs.
The 1994 birth of the first modern white buffalo, Miracle, is believed to have been the sign that these times are at hand.
Shortly after Miracle's birth, Chief
Arvol Looking Horse, called upon spiritual leaders from around the world to
join him in praying for global peace and healing, and issued an invitation for
people of all faiths to gather at their own sacred sites or places of worship,
and pray in their own manner, on the first World Peace and Prayer Day. Since
that time, although a particular day is still set aside annually, the movement
has expanded to make every day a day of prayer for world peace. To those of us who have dedicated their lives to a world at peace; To those of us who live to see a unity of all peoples everywhere; To those of us who choose Love and Acceptance over discord and violence; To those of us who pursue a life of harmony and good will towards all: I offer the message of a new white buffalo. Take Heart all:
To those of us who know better than we do; To those of us who would like to,
but haven't yet changed the desire into action; To those of us who have heard
the calling, but have not yet listened: I repeat the message of the new white
buffalo. Let us heed the message of Spirit. It is time.
When Spiritual Endeavors was informed of the birth of Spirit, the individual stated that they would not allow a circus to be made of the event as has been done with previous white buffalo births.
For this reason Spiritual Endeavors has chosen an alternative method of sharing this important news with those for whom it will have the most impact and meaning. Rather than making the usual releases to the main stream press and wire services, this announcement is being distributed to a select number of alternative distribution lists, Internet (email) and otherwise.
Many of these alternative networks were born of the frustration produced by the
mainstream news sources ignoring stories and releases of pertinence to a more
"enlightened" and "concerned" populace who have grown beyond the "prime time"
state of consciousness.
It is the intent of Spiritual Endeavors to utilize these alternative networks for the purpose for which they were created, and honors these organizations and networks for their efforts. Therefore we are asking you to copy and distribute this information throughout your personal or organization network so that it can reach as many individuals as possible, in as short a time as possible.
That this news is already distributed world wide before the mainstream press becomes aware of it will surely be a wake up call and reminder to all news services
everywhere - that they exist to serve the public's desires. And the public's desires are quickly growing beyond the "Network Ratings" games.
Spiritual Endeavors thanks each involved network, and each member of every
network for their cooperation and their contribution to the creation of a better world for us all.
