Bob\u2019s findings in the Swartkrans Caves were instrumental to Linda Tucker\u2019s understanding of humanity\u2019s Contract of the Fire \u2013 a concept which ultimately forms the foundation of her LionHearted Leadership\u2122\u00a0model today, an invitation from the White Lions to use power responsibly at this evolutionary turning point in humankind\u2019s history.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was with a heavy heart that I paid my respects to my departed friend, palaeoanthropologist Dr \u2018Bob\u2019 Brain, who passed away on 8 June 2023 in Pretoria, South Africa, at the age of 92.<\/p>\n

We met in the mid-90s, the decade I spent passionately uncovering the mystery of the White Lions, whose pawprints in the sands of time led me to the Cradle of Humankind: the archaeological site where our earliest ancestors were birthed, and where Bob\u2019s findings unearthed a remarkable discovery in humankind\u2019s evolutionary journey.<\/p>\n

It was fire \u2013 both how it came to, and how it shaped, humanity \u2013 that brought our like-minds together: the spark connecting two people on an unquenchable quest for the truth, igniting decades of research.<\/p>\n

Bob Brain\u2019s 50 years in palaeoanthropology uncovered evidence of the earliest controlled use of fire by humans. What fascinated me most was that his evidence also indicated that our early ancestors were cohabiting with felines in the Sterkfontein caves, which lie just outside Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to Christmas 2022, when I invited Bob (at the age of 91) and his devoted daughter, Mel, to join me in the White Lion Heartlands. It turned out to be his final journey before he departed this Earth for good. But not without an unusually impressive send-off! None of us will forget the extraordinary show of solidarity across the species barrier, when our magnificent pride of lions, led by the White Lion kings, Zukhara<\/a> and Matsieng<\/a>, arrived unexpectedly at our camp in the middle of bushveld, and commenced an echoing and seemingly unstoppable ROARing chorus of appreciation. Whether scientist or Indigenous knowledge keeper, every one of us who witnessed this event knew the honouring was for Bob and his critically important discovery.<\/p>\n

His work <\/strong><\/p>\n

Bob\u2019s passion for understanding natural history was second to none. He was known amongst his peers as a \u201cscientist\u2019s scientist\u201d. In their tributes, fellow paleoanthropologists have honoured his exemplary dedication to accurate detail. Starting in 1965, Bob tirelessly journeyed every Wednesday to the Swartkrans Cave in the Cradle of Humankind to work with his technicians. \u201cIn the process, Bob discovered several hundred early hominid fossils, making him one of the greatest discoverers of early man in Africa,\u201d writes<\/a> Bruce S. Rubidge at the Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

Bob Brain spent a lifetime among the world\u2019s scientific elite, but in my experience of the man, there was no hint of pretension or pursuit of fame. Though he never sought the limelight, what he uncovered was truly illuminating.<\/p>\n

Lighting the way<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, the burning question is: what took place in those caves at the beginning of human history as we know it? A conversation I had with Bob, which I chronicled in Mystery of the White Lions<\/em><\/a>, could contain the answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, the discovery of burnt bones was very significant,\u201d Brain explained, during my very first visit to his home in Johannesburg \u2013 a fascinating house, filled to the brim with historical relics and heavy hardcover books, \u201cAnd it is significant that they appear abruptly. In excavating further in Swartkrans Member 3, we discovered 270 pieces of bone which showed signs of having been burnt. By contrast, in Member 1, the earliest stratum, none was found, although we examined over 52 000 pieces of fossil bone for the effects of heating.\u201d<\/p>\n

This gives us the timeframe during which early humans learned to control fire.<\/p>\n

Surrounded by skulls, bones and curious natural artefacts, amongst more palatable objects on the family\u2019s generous kitchen table, Bob explained that an evolutionary leap occurred in humankind\u2019s history in the caves of Swartkrans, one that I now know determined the trajectory of the crisis we as humankind face today.<\/p>\n

Bob\u2019s evidence unearthed two significant layers in our history in the same caves. The first was Australopithecus, <\/em>the ancestral ape man and woman, and the second was Homo erectus<\/em>, the upright human. He showed that Australopithecines<\/em> were herbivorous primitives \u2013 roots-, shoots- and fruits-eating beings \u2013 while the predators of the African plains were the big cats who lived in close quarters with them. In short, Australopithecines<\/em> were predated upon; while early humankind (Homo erectus<\/em>) marked a change in the course of evolution. These ancestors turned the tables and developed into the hunters, probably by observing and learning from the big cats themselves.<\/p>\n

The event that marked the shift in power was the use of fire \u2013 inherently Promethean in nature.<\/p>\n

Clearly, this lion-human-fire evolutionary moment that Bob\u2019s research pin-pointed in Swartkrans \u2013 the hunted-to-hunter event \u2013 has left its patterning deep within the psychic residues of human consciousness, and our relentless power issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore this point,\u201d Brain summarised for me on that fascinating first visit, \u201cwe were subservient to the big cats. After this point we were dominant \u2014 and that\u2019s really when the trouble began. We began to view ourselves as all-powerful, as superior to the animal kingdom, and as rulers of the earth. That\u2019s what eventually separated us \u2014 and look at the mess we\u2019ve landed ourselves in!\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to this point in evolution, our species was a natural part of the food chain. Then came the initiatory event involving fire. Holding and wielding the flame, we started gaining the upper hand, and after imitating the hunting of the feline predators, we found ourselves on the trajectory to the top of the food chain: the kings of beasts and rulers of the planet. In this position, there was an overriding incentive to view ourselves as different and better. Yet, shamanic wisdom teaches that both these perceptions are deeply mistaken; we are not different from the natural kingdom, nor superior, but remain a critically integral part of it. It is precisely our tendency towards egotism and virtual reality that has created the most dangerous of all illusions in our minds \u2014 that of omnipotence.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Fire: spark of life or flame of death<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Bob Brain\u2019s findings in the Swartkrans Caves have become pivotal for my own research into lions, enlightenment and LionHeartedness: illuminating the fact that during this specific time in our species\u2019 history, our early ancestors not only lived together with the prehistoric big cats, but also learned how to actively control fire.<\/p>\n

Sadly, this is a skill that has been misused to unleash seemingly unstoppable destruction.<\/p>\n

In my second book, Saving the White Lions<\/em><\/a>, I write of the magnificent great cats caged and tortured in South Africa\u2019s diabolical factory farms, bred for the bullet and fed to the lion bone trade:<\/p>\n

\u201cI try to recall how the legend goes: fire \u2014 was it a gift from the Gods, or did humanity steal it? But I know for sure that these incarcerated lions, like flames burning in the hearth, cannot be owned, or bought. They belong to a higher order.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It has since become clear to me that our introduction to fire was more than a gift. It was a profound contract between evolving humanity and Gaia \u2013 one which also involved the ancient cats. In those caves, our ancestors accepted the empowering responsibility of fire in exchange for dedicated service to Nature. As nocturnal animals, the great cats were keepers of the Flame of Life through the night. That flame was passed onto humans to be keepers of the Flame of Life through the day. This Contract of the Fire<\/a>, ensuring the cosmic balance in which all life thrives, was broken by humankind the moment we chose to use fire to exercise dominion over that which we are here to serve.<\/p>\n

Instead of upholding our commitment to ensure the continuity of all Life, humanity started treating Gaia as a resource to be plundered, desecrating the sacred contract. We replaced the Solar Logos (Divine Law within Nature) with man-made laws granting ourselves rights to \u201cown\u201d and exploit land, animals, plants and all living things. Existence has since become brutally transactional<\/a>, exploiting the Flame of Life to the point of extinction.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, amidst this meltdown, my continued research into the mythology of the White Lions, as well as the first-hand knowledge I have acquired from watching these luminous beings flourish in the wilds of their ancestral homelands for almost two decades, has shown me that hope is not lost. We find ourselves in the 13th<\/sup> Hour \u2013 a critical turning point as well as a time of grace – where humanity faces a karmic and ultimate choice. Do we choose to honour the ancient contract we entered with Gaia in the Swartkrans Caves, and accept our responsibility to Earth by guarding the Flame of Life, or do we continue on our path of destruction ending in our eradication?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Climate Crisis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Furthermore, I believe it is significant to note from Bob Brain’s findings that the evolutionary lion-human-fire events took place in a former climate crisis. We know that the climate catastrophe we face today is man-made; the consequence of a worldwide fossil fuel economy, and other abuses of firepower.<\/p>\n

My understanding of our living Earth (Gaia<\/em>) is that She is fully capable of restoring Herself. At this moment in time, humanity is facing a climate crisis of our own making; a crisis that requires us individually, and collectively, to honour our sacred contract with Fire and to use its power of illumination to serve our Mother Earth.<\/p>\n

In that, lies our opportunity.<\/p>\n

So, it is Bob\u2019s findings in the Swartkrans Caves that ultimately form the foundation of my LionHearted Leadership\u2122 model today. What is LionHeartedness? It is that quality of fearlessness, inspired by Love and Respect for the natural world, that allows us to transform the human world. Serving Nature \u2013 and ensuring the Flame of all Life remains ignited \u2013 I believe, is our true and original nature.<\/p>\n

In the current climate crisis, as Earth reclaims her dominion \u2013 inviting us to raise our consciousness or be erased \u2013 we are faced with the opportunity of a lifetime: to make an evolutionary leap in consciousness back to the heart \u2013 the LionHeart \u2013 becoming true enlightenment bearers and Guardians of the Flame! Thereby, we will find our way back to grace.<\/p>\n

As I write this, I can hear the Tsau Pride, led by King Matsieng and Zukhara, roaring on the distant horizon.<\/p>\n
