Kogi sayings
Kogi sayings about gold taken from the BBC documentary ‘From the heart of the world, the Elder Brothers warning.’
She taught, the Great Mother taught. She taught us right and wrong. And still we have not given up living in the way and knowing right from wrong as she taught us. We remember her teaching and live by it. The Great Mother gave us what we needed to live.
At the sacred places gold was hung from the trees. Immortal gold carried the mystery of life from Aluna (the spirit world) into matter. Humans could make this journey by meditating on the gold and dancing with it. And body ornaments of gold helped humans play their part in the dance of life. Today these objects sit in museums, displaced without meaning and without function. We know nothing about them.
We once had gold bowls for divination. Gold images, gold oracles. We prophesied with gold. We had many things. Younger Brother took it all. And now we sorrow, we are weak and see the earth its decay. It is losing its strength because of your greed. You take gold out of the earth.
Down below by the sea there were the Golden Guardians. The guardians of all the trees and all the birds were there in the ground. They (the grave robbers) cut the earth and dug them out. They must stop doing it. Now they are taking out the Mother’s heart. They are digging out the ground and cutting out her liver and her guts. The Mother is being cut to pieces and stripped of everything. From their first landing they (the Spanish conquerors) have been doing this. So the Mother is sad and she will end, the world will end if you do not stop digging and digging.
Younger Brother, we know that water down below has started drying up. Do not think that we are responsible. It is you! We are doing our work properly and neither you nor we know when the world will end. We work to take care of the world. Stop digging into the earth and stealing the gold! If you go on like this the world will end. You are bringing the world to an end. Your looting will destroy it. They have taken so much. You have taken the (golden) Guardians of the sun and stars. The world will go black.
