The Anangu (Australian Aboriginal word meaning "Human" or "Person") have lived in Australia for over 50.000 years now. They have a very special ability. They are united and connected as no other in the world. Together, they dream. Their Dreamtime Stories have produced a detailed history dating well into the Pleistocene era (which ENDED 12,000 years ago.) Their story, describes the changing landscapes, natural disasters, formations of lakes, changing courses of rivers, battling monsters and the arrival of the Europeans.
What an interesting insight. They can speak to one another in dreams, those dreams are like intellectual property. Their faith in the interconnectedness of all things, and their contiuing request that it be in the greater goodness for all life everywhere, is not seen anywhere else, at this level, with this many people, harmoniously. Beautiful.
For those who strive to attain unity with nature, I suggest looking into the Anangu, and studying the concepts presented. Find story tellers, dreamers and books. This is well worth your while. The stories are fantastic, and truer than many "myths" and ultimately, uplifting and powerful.
