the Indigenous Axiom and its Contrast

 

Axiom:  a Spiritual World. 

What was brought forth by the Creator and Animal/First Peoples is a spiritual world, that pervades and unifies all entities and beings, in their souls as well as their bodies, in their transcendent as well as material essences.

Seek to access and travel the spiritual world, which is ultimately what is most real and true.

Corresponds to the notions of “a single Ultimate of which the many gods are instantiations or expressions” and seeing “the things of the world as transparent to their divine sources.”

 

- Example: Saah Naghai Bikeh Hózhó "continual reoccurring long-life in an environment of beauty and harmony" 

 

The world of Indigenous peoples is a Platonic world, as represented in the “allegory of the Cave,”

  

Akin to Hindu world of Brahman - Trimurti and Jivas - Atman, as well as maya,

and Buddhist notion of anicca - “impermanent, transitory reality” and notion of shandhas – reality made up of “thought-coverings, aggregate bundles of thought forms,

and to the Taoist world of the Tao
