    Religion is something you practice daily. Sounds to me like Campbell is trying to use language familiar to him. Wordplay....I understand basic Rosicrucian and Tao philosophy... not deep dive. Europeans use the bible to put it into words they can understand. Science uses terms like consciousness/sound and wavelength. DMT ...In Australia, bark from the Acacia Confusa tree is used instead of traditional South American ingredients like Ayahuasca....I would assume they would burn the bark. Because of the hypnotizing effects of the flames. It would send them on walkabout. We have matariki in NZ❤ seven sisters. That songline painting looks like the tree of life from the Kabbalah. Which looks like a crystal with highlighted points. Which also looks like the Pleiades. Listening to you has given me an aha moment, realisation, epiphanies. Fire vibrates at 12?hertz which induces hypnosis. Wudu, sounds like our laws of tapu, utu and noa. Things you can't do and the balance. Interconnectedness. Unconditional love, The Almighty, Source😊❤.Aroha. Thank you for sharing ❤

    But atheism means without god,in other words they don't believe that a god created the heavens and earth, so technically if you follow dream time, where you don't worship a god mono- theist or gods polytheism, then you are a an atheist a non god believer, but the technical name of aboriginal dreamtime is nontheistic, although there are lots of deities for example the rainbow serpent they are not worshipped in the same way as Ganesh, Allah, God, Odin, so it could be surmised that aboriginal dreamtime is a polytheistic religion as well, I just say it's an extremely unique religion.

    The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro's friend and benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political "football game" that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives. Get that thing away from you, if you know what's good for you!

    With respect to the Aunty. Shouldn't the truth be explained here? Indigenous people believe if a recently deceased relative's name is mentioned, their ghost comes back as an evil spirit, to bring harm/death to the family. This is never explained, because if the general population knew this truth, they would question whether it's appropriate to push these announcements on the general public, every day/night on national TV. Certainly appropriate for NITV. Not for mainstream TV.

    ❤ Thank you Aunty Munya for sharing your wisdom about the Dreamtime, i really enjoyed it and have learnt LOTS ~ I'll watch it again too ❤ I'm living in Aotearoa New Zealand, I was born of the South West of England, and I've always been spiritually aware of people others can't see or feel, and "vibes" of places...my Dreams have always been as important to me as my "awake" time... I have always found great joy in creating things and thinking about life on this world (our Mother). I've never fitted in with the people I was born to. ❤ ❤ Places do speak to me, either making me feel welcome or "on edge". Kaitangata is a place that makes me feel "on edge", the dogs here are kept in cages and make awful noises, or bark uncontrollably, the people are often injured or fall sick. It feels like a malevolence sits on Kaitangata. I thought that it might be from the coal being dug out of the earth, but think that it might have something to do with Lake Kaitangata being drained by the European settlers in the 1870's. Are there any rituals that can heal the spirit Kaitangata, so that he's not aggro any more? What do your people do in such a situation where settlers have disturbed an area? ❤ ❤ Kaka Point in the Catlins (south east of the south island) is a place where when you walk through the trees, you feel energized... BTW I always greet the trees before entering the forest ❤ I love Tree People ❤ I believe that the Earth is a living Being, we are (obviously!) born from her body, and that the way of life of humans (at the moment) is wrong - the wars and greed and needing lots of money - con/sumerism. We need to become aware and change our way of living to a way that treasures Life in all it's various forms ❤ wishing you all the Best, lots of love from me ❤

    I believe dot painting is a language that tells more than a story it holds the spirit of the heart and culture of those who are the true owners of this expression of conversation, if you don't understand the truth of the conversation you are painting then how would you know if you were painting your story respectfully, I love art but this to me is much more than art and I wouldn't write a book that had false statements so I personally wouldn't try to create a dot painting in this style without the blessing, wisdom and guidance of the person whose culture it belongs to. This is only my opinion and not meant to upset or offend anyone who holds a different perspective ❤

It made me feel less because I am a person who looks for evidence and rationality in everything.

    Hi, I’m trying to find out if I have aboriginal heritage. Reason being I’ve always had a gut feeling . I am a Christian and once I said to my mum “I have a feeling you’re descended from the aboriginal people “. Mum scoffed saying we were Irish. But recently I took a screen shot of my great grandfather (on mums side ) and an indigenous man from work looked at it and said he looked from a tribe in NSW (I forgot the name of the tribe ). After this I began remembering things and also had strange things happening. Like I watched an sbs 5 min documentary called “born of water “ and it was a story about an indigenous woman’s connection to the water. She was from the gaddigal tribe. I had no idea where this tribe were from . But her words and ideas of her connection to the ocean and water astounded me as I felt exactly the same and had never heard anyone express how I felt. Then I looked up her tribe to discover it was the area my family are from in Sydney specific to the gaddigal people where my great grandfather lived. Also when I was young my best friend was indigenous and I felt my family were racist and yet years ago I visited the area I grew up in Sydney and as I was crossing the hawksbury river on a train I had this powerful experience where I could feel the death all around and suddenly I knew that thousands had been massacred there. When I got back home to Queensland I told my mum this and strangely she said “yes my mother used to say the same thing she felt it too when crossing over the hawksbury “. This shocked me. My family on my mother’s side have been very spiritual. And her mother was the daughter of the man who looked indigenous and yet she looked indigenous aswell yet mum said she was just Irish looking ??? I know this may sound ridiculous but memories are coming back to me of childhood how at a disco I started dancing like a tribal dance to the song treaty but my friends stopped me as they said I was being disrespectful and yet it came so naturally to me. One of my favourite songs too is my island home. Am I being ridiculous here or what is going on? I recently watched an episode of Australian wars that mentioned the massacres of indigenous Australians in the hawksbury so it confirmed my spiritual knowing aswell as my grandmothers ? Can someone please help me? My father is English so I look very white and so some people have mocked me for having these ideas I may be aboriginal descent . I have adopted cousins one of whom I was most closest to who is from the gadigal tribe I found out and she reminds me in looks to my mum. She’s very fair though too and people laughed at her when she tried to pursue her roots. I have just spent a couple of days at the library looking up my family tree but there’s nothing to indicate indigenous links. But I’m like who’s to say that out of the ten children who were born to my great grandfathers mother that he wasn’t the milk man’s? That’s if they had milk men back in 1878? Or who’s to say that his dad didn’t fool around with an indigenous woman and they stole her child to anglocise it? I can’t prove a bloody thing but all I have are all these pieces to a very messy puzzle? Can someone help me?
