Reading Lynn Andrews’ book Crystal Woman, I am awed by the powerful words shared by Ruby Plenty Chiefs and would love to share it with you.
She asks Lynn, “What is evil?”
Evil is inflicting harm on another.
What if the evil helps someone grow? Does that make evil acceptable?
That is an ignorant way of looking at it. This way you get lost in emotional and personal interpretations. You get lost in subjective histories. Where is the truth?
That part of it lies out in the darkness of space. In the unknown. Therefore we must have respect for the unknown. Great evil has been done by those who think they have all the answers. They have no respect for the unknown.
A human can never know with the mind what a medicine woman would call the unknowable.
Have respect for the unknown and what is perhaps unknowable even to a medicine woman. That, Ruby Plenty Chiefs, call the back of Great Spirit. The part of Great Spirit’s body that is always in shadow.
Your stealth as a warrioress depends on your faith in the Great Spirit. If you do not see all sides of truth, and you think only what you understand is valid, then you dishonour power. You ignore much of the body of Great Spirit.
It is all Creation. We are limited as human beings. Most humans live in a tiny little world where only their own perceptions are accepted as real. Respect what you don’t see. What you don’t see sees you very well.
