"With relief, with humiliation, with terror, he understood that he too was a mere appearance, dreamt by another." - Jorge Luis Borges, The Circular Ruins
Anything spoken or written about our most important beliefs and healing ways must emphasize and re-emphasize the importance of love, the Sky God, and the rising of our hearts. We usually see and hear the gods and ancestors when we are sleeping. We call a visitation or sacred vision a kabi. It is regarded as distinct from dreams. This is when we learn from the gods and ancestors. They teach us songs, dances, and other things. When we have a kabi and actually see an ancestor or god, it is called a cunkuri. Shaman of the JU/’hoan
