## Metadata - Author: [[Arnold Mindell]] - Full Title: Dreaming While Awake - Category: #books ## Highlights - At first inspection, native traditions appear to have been decimated. Yet some Aboriginal peoples will tell you that the concept of Dreamtime is undefeatable. Australian Aboriginal elders say that you can kill the kangaroo, but not kangaroo Dreaming. While many of us struggle to protect the land rights of native peoples, Dreaming has its own self-protection. It cannot be destroyed, but is inherent in the land and in everyone's deepest experiences. It is the basic energy of the universe. You can kill people and destroy objects, but the Dreaming, which creates them, is still there. ([Location 222](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B0C94VB6D3&location=222))
