“The Truth Was Within Us All the Time”

 

“The creator gathered all of creation and said, “I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it. It is the realization that they create their own reality”. The Eagle said, “Give it to me, I will take it to the moon”. The creator said, “No, one day they will go there and find it”. The salmon said, “I will bury it at the bottom of the ocean”. The creator said, “ No they will go there too”. The buffalo said, “I will bury it on the great plains”. The creator said, “ No, they will cut the skin of the Earth and find it even there”. Grandmother mole, who lives in the breast of Mother earth, and who has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes said, “Put it inside of them”. And the creator said, “It is done!”
— A Sioux Story

 

To say that the truth was within us all the time is something of a cliche. There have been songs about it and it is among the main themes in literature and music. Yet all cliches contain a nugget of truth. That is how they became cliches in the first place. We also each within us contain a nugget of truth. We also contain the ability to create / alter our own reality. Part of doing so involves the realization that it is possible. Tho the work to make it so may be considerable because so much of it involves changing our outlook and changing the story we tell ourselves about what lies within. The story suggests that such things as going to the moon, the bottom of the sea and beneath the plains is trivial in comparison to going within and utilizing what we contain there. Yet still there is hope and will.
