Dr. Mark Plotkin on the most traditional tribe of the New World: the Kogi: To Think Is to LISTEN

In the beginning there was nothing.
All was darkness; Depth.
There was nothing at all.
She was Aluna;
She was pure thought without form.
She began to think.
The Mother conceived the world in the darkness.
She conceived us as ideas.
As we think out a house before we begin to make it real
She spun the thread;
Spinning us all in the story, creating us in thought.
And then came the Light, and the world was real.

 To listen. That is why we have ears. To think is to listen. Listen."
