ABOUT THE PROPHECY OF COCA

"…For you it will be spiritual, for them instead it will be idiocy.

…And when white people will try to do the same and allow themselves to use the coca leaf as you do, the opposite effect will happen to them…

Its juice for you will be the life strenght, for you new rulers instead it will be a repulsive and degrading vice.

While for indigenous people it will be healthy spiritual nourishment, to them it will cause idiocy and dementia.

…I die now, and anybody, who reveals this secret will die too."
