Chrome for iOS Gets Google Lens Update, Shopping Insights and More

Google today announced several new features for the Chrome browser that's available on the iPhone and the iPad, with the new additions aimed at providing users with more intuitive ways for finding information and completing tasks.


Google Lens now supports searching with images and text at the same time, rather than search being limited to just an image. Users can add words to a visual query to refine results and conduct more complex searches.

Google Drive and Google Photos users can now save content from the web directly to those services from Chrome, freeing up on-device storage space. To save a file to Google Drive from Chrome, tap on the Google Drive option. Saving an image to ‌Photos‌ from Chrome can be done by long pressing on the image and then selecting the Save in Google ‌Photos‌ option.

For U.S. users, Chrome on iOS is gaining Shopping Insights, which are designed to better surface deals. If Chrome has Shopping Insights for a product that a user is searching for, there will be a "Good Deal Now" notification in the address bar. The feature requires signing into Chrome and toggling on "Make Searches and Browsing Better."

When viewing a map of an address in Chrome, users will soon be able to tap an underlined address and see a more detailed mini-map of the location directly in the browser without having to swap over to Google Maps. Google says that it is experimenting with this feature and will roll it out globally over the coming months.

The Hopi Prophecy Stone and the Future of the Earth

The Hopi prophecy for the year 2012 is the most important one, in my opinion. Whereas many prophecies speak of this "end of the world," the Hopi are the ones who've given us the most specific instructions for what to do.


According to most ancient prophecies, the Shift of Ages in 2012 is not necessarily the end of the world. It could be the end of an era of darkness on the Earth.


But according to the Hopi prophecy, WE are the ones who get to choose.


The future, or lack of it, is up to us!


 


While the Hopi had an oral rather than written tradition, they also created images that helped to tell the story, as reminders.


The one that is of most interest here is called the Hopi Prophecy Stone.


Although the stone has been much damaged and even altered, we will be addressing it as the Elders say it was, before its discovery by the white people.

 

The Hopi Prophecy Stone depicts the Creator of the world (far left), and beside him, the Circle of the World, which it was the Hopi's task to protect.


In the Creator's hand is held the two destinies humanity can choose -- one that leads to a good resolution and one that leads to a dead end.


The box represents all the people.


The diverging point of the Creator's path shows a time when some people would break away from the true path, and go the way of falseness and wickedness.


The path at the bottom represents the true path, the path of goodness.


It shows 3 calamities, as circles representing "shaken gourds" or world-shaking events, which some have interpreted as world wars. A third world war would therefore be indicated. (Could it be the unremitting war that the USA has conjured up against the Middle East? We can hope that nothing worse is predicted.)


In between and beyond the calamities, the sign of growing corn (life) combined with the sign of a cane (long life) reasserts humanity's continuity.


The last circle is said to be the final calamity, the purification of evil from the face of the Earth.


At the end of the righteous path, we find the Creator waiting for us again: the beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega.


This is the spiritual path, the path of goodness and kindness.


Reunion with the Divine is the goal and destination of this path.


I would add to this interpretation that the true path is the humble path, the one closest to the Earth and nature, grounded. In this image, it is the path that is closest to the Creator.


I believe the upper path being the false trail, shows that the path of domination, of power/control, of seeking to be superior over others, is definitely a wrong turn.


And that a way of living in balance and respect with nature is part of the good path. Something Native Americans have warned Europeans from the beginning. (This may be another reason Wicca and Paganism are increasing in popularity, as more people leave the wicked path behind.)


I think it is also not coincidence that the sign of the corn is used. Life could have been signified by the cane alone. But it is a growing plant that indicates the path of goodness, and the fruit of that path.


Nature is the good path.


Although here I have drawn in the heads of the figures, the Elders say that the figures on the Hopi Prophecy Stone originally had no heads. (I've indicated this with the heads not joined to the bodies.)


This could indicate that those following the path of wickedness are not choosing wisely.


That would seem to be evident, as we can now see the inevitable result of small personal wickednesses such as greed, self-interest, insecurity, animosity, etc. Even more visible are the growing results of these: violence, war, domination, sacrificing of others and the future for personal gain, etc.


According to Martineau, however, it signals that death must come of following the wicked path.


Perhaps both meanings would apply.


The zigzag path seems to indicate that the way of wickedness is irresolute and crooked. It reminds me of politicians promising first one thing and then the opposite, depending on whatever people want to hear.


Being guided by greed, control, and fear, the Path must veer hither and yon according to the needs of the moment. By contrast, the path of truth is always aimed at the Divine, and does not waver in momentary crises.


Notice that before the third calamity, the corn symbol touches the top line. This shows that people on the path of wickedness can change direction at that point, and rejoin the path of goodness.


After that point, it is too late, for humanity's careless wickedness brings us to a dead end. The back-curving line shows a point of no return.


The symbol of the corn becomes even more prophetic, as we now seem to have seen the end of natural corn. GMOs have invaded even the purest corn stocks in the world.


Perhaps it is no coincidence that corn is used as a symbol of life, here. Of course, it was a staple crop of the Hopi. But perhaps the corn touching the wicked path is also a symbol that we can choose the wicked way with our food supply, like genetically altering them.


Perhaps the path from goodness to wickedness goes both ways?

 

The Hopi Prophecy Stone shows us that the parameters of our choice determines the future we will have.


Are we headed toward a Golden Age?


Or extinction?


It is not a matter of what we wish for.


It is a matter of what actions we take.


The Hopi prophesy tells us what we must do to create a positive future for the Earth -- a future in which humanity continues to exist.


This makes it the most important of all the 2012 predictions.


Not just doom and gloom, nor hope and pray, but the concrete actions and mindsets that will see us through!



With Bright Blessings,

The Hopi Prophecies Signs for 2012

What are the Hopi prophecies, and how are they linked to the year 2012?


I'm so glad you asked!  Of all the 2012 predictions, these are the most important and exciting, because they not only foretell the 2012 Transition, they tell us what we can do about it.


This article reveals the signs of the end of the World Age, according to the Hopi prophecies... and what that means, in their point of view.


The Hopi nation, on the Arizona lands, has highly spiritual values. Hopi means peace; their name for themselves is the Peaceful People. The rituals they do are for the benefit not just of themselves but of the whole world. The clans are matrilineal, and with a balance of power between females and males. Life is religion, in Hopi culture.


The Hopi have carried an oral tradition for centuries. The Hopi prophecies come from that tradition, and they tell of the signs that will presage the end of the World Age (ie, Fourth World) and our entry into the Fifth World.


Note: I'd like to be clear that the Hopi's, as far as I know, didn't give a date for the end of the Fourth World. That's the point of all the prophecies: they will give us warning.


But since all of these prophecies have already come true, and since other sources give us a calendar date for the end of a world age, it seems clear that the Hopi prophecies are talking about the 2012 Transition.

 

Prophecy of the Theft of the Land: There will come a nation of white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana -- men who took the land that was not theirs.


(European conquest of the Americas.)


Prophecy of Thunder Strikers: These white-skinned men will strike and kill their enemies with thunder.


(Firearms.)


Prophecy of Wheels : Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices.


(Wagons moving west.)


Prophecy of Horned Creatures: A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers.


(Longhorn cattle.)


Prophecy of Iron Snakes: The land will be crossed by snakes of iron.


(Railroads.)


Prophecy of the Skies: The skies shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider's web, and the white man will put metal wires in the skies.


(Chemical trails deposited by military aircraft, and power and telephone lines.)


Prophecy of Rivers of Stone: The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun.


(Paved roads -- heat mirages.)


Prophecy of Black Seas: The sea will turn black, killing many living creatures.


(Oil spills.)


Prophecy of Seekers: Many youth, wearing their hair long, join the tribal nations to learn their ways and ancient wisdom.


(Hippies and generations of spiritual seekers.)


Prophecy of the House in the Sky: A dwelling-place will be built in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star.


(Skylab, which according to witnesses seemed to be burning blue as it fell.)


Prophecy of Ashes: The white man will create a Gourd of Ashes that will lay waste to the land and keep it infertile for generations.


(Atomic bombs and radiation.)


Prophecy of Moon Theft: The white man will steal rocks from the moon. Then the balance of universal laws and natural forces will be disrupted, causing earthquakes, severe changes in the weather patterns, and social upheaval. This is a danger sign, that we are in the final days before the purification.


(The Apollo moon landings. As a Wiccan and Pagan, I can only feel this theft from the Temple of the Goddess to be a terrible desecration, but infinitely worse is the massive bomb the USA exploded on the Moon!)


The Hopi prophecies are clear and explicit signs that the end of the Fourth World Age is coming.


They don't see this as a bad thing, even though they foresaw that they would lose their lands, their ways, and many of their people. They also foresaw that it was temporary, and the wheel of life would turn again to their ways.


Although -- according to the Hopi prophecies -- the imminent Fifth World Age will be preceded by an intense cleansing (expressed in some forms as massive and frequent natural disasters), still there is a positive future ahead.


What is even more important than these oracular signs, in my opinion, are the Hopi prophecies that explain how to survive this transition, minimise the harm, and create the best possible future.


That is the subject of the first article on The Hopi Prophecies.

The Hopi are not, by any means, the only aboriginal nation to have prophecied the dark times, and the end of them.


Other nations around the world and throughout history have similar predictions.
