Yes we are on the same page.'Unless you mean that had they not been so spirit oriented, they may have been able to resist colonialism ?' This is exactly what I am saying.
Most of what we are saying will fall on death ears but maybe, discussions like this will water the seed of reasoning in a few. As long as people recognises the power of myths, then it should follow that societies would begin to very carefully scrutinise what myths they allow into their consciouness. I think that the power of myths to direct thinking, expectations,and experiences should be the focus of everyone who is serious about raising awareness.
