T O P I C R E V I E WListensToTreesIn a Native American parable, the Creator gathers all the animals and says: "I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it- the realization that they create their own reality"."Give it to me. I'll fly it to the Moon",says the eagle."No, one day soon they will go there and find it"."How about the bottom of the ocean?"asks the salmon."No, they will find it there too"."I will bury it in the great plains",says the buffalo."They will soon dig and find it there"."Put it inside them", says the wise grandmother mole."Done", says the Creator. "It is the last place they will look".~ Native American LegendBlueRoamerOne of my favorites.I recall telling this to a group of people during a camping trip, they enjoyed it.In the version I'm familiar with it was the key to inner peace.NAMYay!

ListensToTreesSimpleMe, I do understand what you are saying. Some of the spiritual concepts (which both ancient and modern teachers have tried to put into words) have also left me feeling a little confused/ unsure of myself at times, not so long ago.But several things since have triggered deeper awareness, I feel, of what it all really means.It is not that we don't need to do anything any more or strive for anything- far from it.We are infinite awareness, a part of this infinite, endless symphony which is creation. We are creators.For me, reading the story by Melen Thomas http://www.mellen-thomas.com/stories.htm about his near death experience, and a few other things- like listening to music, reading words of inspiration, looking at these incredible, perfectly formed geometric patterns known as crop circles....together these things helped trigger an understanding, a memory, within.------------------The truthis a brilliant, many-sided diamond.The great life fills this gem and colors from every side.Mystics, messengers, and sages and teachers of all ages, races and beliefs have spoken of a different face of this common Eternal Truth.ListensToTrees http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwcizavYNTc&feature=related SimpleMeThankyou ListentoTreesoh.. its not that. its like i became groundedso much that i feel too stable. No miracles happen anymore. i know that it should be found within. But when i think back to my most unstable times i remeber so many inspiring things were happening. Now life is beautiful but too quiet, too predictable.Thankyou for the video. i liked it.LoveElenaListensToTreesThe left and the right brain need to come together as One.
"Give it to me. I'll fly it to the Moon",says the eagle.
"No, one day soon they will go there and find it".
"How about the bottom of the ocean?"asks the salmon.
"No, they will find it there too".
"I will bury it in the great plains",says the buffalo.
"They will soon dig and find it there".
"Put it inside them", says the wise grandmother mole.
"Done", says the Creator. "It is the last place they will look".
