WHO WE TRULY ARE

"Once in the beginning of time, there existed a council of beings who represented different expressions of the Creator in all sorts of marvelous forms. Around the council fire sat representatives from the insect, reptile, bird, mammal, marsupial, and human families. Each shared his story about how his species incarnated to experience life in a particular form, in order to learn and to share specific truths with other beings. The common goal was to better understand-together-ourselves and Creator. The turtle chose its form to learn how to cooperate with water and land. The lion chose to experience family team work and partnership between predator and prey. Dolphin connected earth and sky with water and kept its mind open to the cosmos. Humans chose to explore our remarkable intellect, manual dexterity, and ability for spoken language.
In the beginning, every being was connected heart to heart as one family. They enjoyed sharing new experiences of life in their chosen forms. But one day, we humans stopped returning to the council fire. Consumed by our own accomplishments, we forgot we had agreed to share our experiences with the other beings. As we became more separate we began to feel superior, we began to forget we were all one family. A chasm was created between ourselves and the other creatures. Most of the other animals continued on their paths, but three species lingered, determined to mend the ever-widening gap between humans and other creatures. At a critical moment, the horse, the cat and the dog consciously chose to leave the comfort of their fellow creatures, to a great extent and accompany the humans, hoping to lead us back to creator, back to connection, back to love. To this day, we have only to stop and pay attention and these three will remind us of who we truly are." Author unknown
