Like Alexandra Innes, except i'm not a Buddhist, i find in your exposition many affinities with great Knowledge traditions that I heard about (except that i never went deep in any). And I also found immediate similarity Hunabku and the symbol of Yin-Yang. Also, I understand that there is dance and no dancers; "things" are temporary illusions generated by the dance of energy. I feel that the concept of Time, as you say, is likely to be the thing blocking the advances to a unified understanding of the ineffable Whole, beyond all concepts. Being a Western, though, i am puzzled by the existence of what is called "dark matter" (another universe?) that constitutes about 90 % of known universe. Thank you for your inspired view of such a little know of this non Western civilization and its contribute for a new level of global awareness. I'm finding this very much interesting.

They are both balanced circles, with the light within the dark and the dark within the light. Oneness of everything, in other words. And I found the idea of noun- versus verb-based language/culture enlightening. As an SGI Buddhist, I interpret that as being focused on the cause, rather than fixated by the effect. And the former is a far more creative way to live. Thank you very much for the food for thought you have given me! I find the Hunabku very interesting as it reminds me of the Yin/Yang symbol.

I went to read the linked article above (not all of it, but about half), and they're still looking at the universe as some object outside themselves. In my language, we don't say "Creator", we don't even say "Creation", though that's a very very loose translation that's not very accurate. Gisul'g ([GK]ee-sool'g) is the name for all of this, that's both inside and out, and it means "creating, moving, doing" (more or less). Note the verb and not noun (it's in Mi'kmaq), action not object. The universe is you, and you are the universe. Even when you don't move, "it" moves. Even when you're not moving, you're moving inside, both your organs and your spirit, emotions, mind. FYI, sometimes you'll see "Nisgam" for "Creator", in Mi'kmaq, that's not very accurate, since it can mean 'spirit', or 'great spirit'. That's a Christianisation, as the Catholics got to us pretty early on. I don't know my language enough to get into it more, but that's all.
