Subject: RE: Ozstrine folk--Please explain dreamtime?
Much more here than I'd ever thought. I feel like the Dylan lyric, "Something is happening here, but you don't know what it is..."
Relativity, in the Einstein sense, might be here too. Like reading Albert, when you think it is about to come clearer and you might be getting an inkling of what it is about, the smoke rolls in and you know that you really cannot see much at all. But the snipets here are pretty amazing. As with Native American tales in these modern times, the first page ends and then you read the rest of the pages--but they are a part of a large well of not known knowledge. Not being imersed in the wisdom of the whole culture keeps one from getting nuances and complex insights that make the Gestalt available only to the few who grew into it guided by their wise ones.

Peter and all, thanks for sure. If anyone knows some more, I'd love to read it.
