When did I realize how amazing human beings actually are

Most people go through life not being impressed that much by human beings including themselves.
I think when I practically understood what human beings were capable of was when I did a 4 day (96 hour) vision quest of no water and no food.

This is something most people never do because it isn't a part of their culture. However, I had been studying along with my wife and children and my friend and his girlfriend at the time with a Native American Medicine man. My friend's girlfriend was the first to do a vision quest because she felt called to do this. Next, I was standing after a round in a sweat lodge with one of the children of Charlie Thom at Lake Siskiyou and saw this energy heading towards where I should do a vision quest. Many times your inner sight opens up while praying in a sweat lodge at high temperatures which is a lot like a sauna caused by rocks heated in a fire, put in a pit below the sweat lodge and then water and sometimes other things put onto the hot rocks (which Charlie Thom sometimes calls the Rock people). He said that his people (the Karuk Tribe) have been talking to the rock people for hundreds if not thousands of years already. I have been experiencing this also since the early 1980s probably because I was Introduced to the rock people by Charlie Thom as family. So now the rock people speak to me as family all over the world.

But, during my vision quest is when I fully realized just how amazing human beings are:

We are much more than most people realize.
We are one with nature and all the animals of earth.
We are one with all the trees of the earth.
We are one with all the rocks and mountains and earth and sands of earth.
We are one with all the water and air of earth.
There is no way to realistically separate from anything living or stationary on earth or moving on earth like the winds and waters.

We are the earth itself. We are the Atmosphere and waters of earth.

Understanding this is everything.

We are NEVER alone but always with our family of air and water and sea and sky and lands along with everything that lives here always.

IF humans for any reason kill the earth they have also killed themselves too.

Even if a few move to other worlds and dimensions most will die if earth dies.

So, keeping earth and sea and sky and lands and animals alive, we also keep ourselves alive as a human race that lives on earth.

There is really no limit to what humans can do.

Unfortunately, this can be really good or really bad or mostly in between.

So, choose carefully what you think and do because all benefit or suffer from everything you do or think always.
