From my friends Joel and Michelle Levey:
“The Western tradition represents body because it’s always looking at things out here at arm’s length. It’s using microscopes, it using all kinds of tools to look at things, to take them apart. That’s changing, but this has been the understanding.
The Eastern approach uses Spirit – you meditate, you breath, you apprehend the nature of the Universe through your Spirit.
I think the Native American tradition, at least the one that I understand and grew up in represents Mind. Because, as I say, you let your thoughts precede you. You let your thoughts flow into that circumstance to understand it.”
— Paula Underwood Spencer from the Oneida tradition
