Was the Uluru Statement of the Heart a prophetic vision for Australia?

Prophets nurture and evoke a new way of thinking. They give us images and words which subvert our system and tell us that we havent seen the whole picture yet. Prophets are not just concerned about social change for the sake of social change. They are concerned above all with transformation and freedom of the heart, and then out of that free heart, the prophet says, Listen. The prophet creates a new, freeing consciousness which allows us to hear the divine word and in the midst of that freedom, the prophets plant a promise, an alternative and new vision.
