I have a tendency for rocks and stones very like lots of people. They’re fascinating. And, if you consider it, the fascination is unusual. There are such a lot of rocks and stones and most look very related, but we will discover a “special” rock in a pile of an identical ones. Do rocks and stones talk with us? A few of us will say, “Yes, of course” and others will say “No, it’s impossible”. The next is what I discovered to be a foundation for my perception.
You probably have been uncovered to the trendy Lakota language you might be conscious the time period for Creator is Wakan Tanka that means “Great Mystery”. However initially the time period was Tunkasila (very historic rock).
When the Christian missionaries arrived among the many individuals, they have been appalled by our use of “very ancient rock” as a time period for God. They thought this was idol worship. They did not perceive that we weren’t praying to rocks as God, we have been utilizing an analogy. Numerous dissension was brought about by way of this phrase. So, the individuals determined to alter to Wakan Tanka (Nice Thriller), a time period the Christians might be extra comfy with.
We modified our language to maintain peace. It is actually unhappy that this occurred. Historical rock is such a beautiful analogy for the Creator. Because it was defined to me, the rocks are the oldest residing issues on earth. They have been right here first and have a lot knowledge and information due to this.
So, after we discover that particular rock within the midst of a pile of comparable ones, is it speaking to us? I believe so.
P.S. There’s a museum in South Dakota the place giant spherical rocks transfer by themselves. The curators positioned them in sand so we may see the path of their motion. So far as I do know, there is no such thing as a scientific clarification for this.
