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 on
the bottom of the ocean."
|
|
 | "No. They will go there
too."
 | The buffalo said, "I will bury it on
the Great Plains."
|
|
 | The Creator said, "They will cut
into 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." |
