I would like to end with this cryptic message from writer and author, Jamal Ali;

Until we can see the world, the planet, the universe differently — free of the conditioning of western society — until we can truly embrace the indigenous vision of our ancestors, not only will we not be able to recognize nor truly practice their wisdom systems, we will remain less than truly human, and victims of those less powerful and wise. If you cannot see it, you cannot imagine it; if you cannot imagine it, you cannot manifest it…and until you can see/imagine it, even if someone else manifest it, you will not accept it as possible, much less real. Remember, with the present state of technology, truly separate is not really an option. The better more comprehensive goal is to develop the inner strength, discernment and critical thinking skills necessary such that one can walk the world, under any circumstances, and remain centered, grounded in the principles and vision which empower and exalt our people.
