Funny Native American Proverbs
It is better to have less thunder in the mouth and more lightning in the hand. – Apache
Most of us do not look as handsome to others as we do to ourselves. – Assiniboine
All who have died are equal. – Comanche
Wherein both will be those (maidens) restraining their glances upon their husbands, whom no man or jinn yatmithhunna (has opened their hymens with sexual intercourse) before them (Quran 55:56, Mushin)

What white Europeans did to the Natives of both North and South America was horrific. But even with that no, sorry, it is still religious mythology regardless of whom or where in the world. Humans in our ENTIRE species history worldwide made bad guesses as to nature and the universe. '
Humans, including the Ancient Egyptians, Ancient India, Mayans and even American Natives, did not have the benefit of our modern knowledge. Humans make up all god/spirit claims.
You can and SHOULD tell the stories of oppression in order to remember what not to do to your fellow human beings. But, being a victim in the past, does not make your god's or spirits anymore real than any other in the world.

Quote:Wholeness. All things are interrelated. Everything in the universe is part of a single whole. Everything is connective in some way to everything else. It is therefore possible to understand something only if we can understand how it is connected to everything else.
I certainly vibe with this, but not so much anything else. Goes too far into mythological territory for me.

Even that is primarily mythological. It seems intuitive in a small space with limited populations..but it quickly becomes ludicrous.
