Diploma of Leadership & Management student experience
I keep asking myself: Clearly, the Aboriginals are intelligent enough to have built cities had they wanted to. They obviously *chose* not to. They did not want to distractions and weight of having to support complex civilization weighting them down and frazzling them. So, what did they channel their intelligence and creativity into? The answer has to be: The Creation itself. Notice how much he sounds like the Buddhists. This is the difference between living in ambient Sacredness, walking on sacred land and worshipping God as an idol over and above - but always external and removed - from ourselves.
Great message guys! Keep up the amazing work :)
Very helpful, thank you.
Thanks for the feedback Adrian!
