In mythos and fairy tales, deities and other great spirits test the hearts of humans by showing up in various forms that disguise their divinity. They show up in robes, rags, silver sashes, or with muddy feet. They show up with skin dark as old wood, or in scales made of rose petal, as a frail child, as a lime-yellow old woman, as a man who cannot speak, or as an animal who can. The great powers are testing to see if humans have yet learned to recognize the greatness of soul in all its varying forms.

يلجأ الناس إلى التأمل للوصول إلى الحالة النفسية السوية، ومن أجل هذا يخضعون للعلاج النفسي والتحليل، وهذا هو السبب الذي من أجلة يحلل الناس أحلامهم ويصنعون الفن، ولهذا يفتحون (الكوتشينة) ويقرأون (الفنجان)، يرقصون، يقرعون الطبول، يصنعون المسرح، يصلون القصيدة ويشعلون الصلاة. لهذا السبب نفعل كل الأشياء التي نفعلها. إنه القيام بتجميع كل العظام من بعضها، ثم ينبغي أن نجلس إلى جوار النار ونفكر في أية أغنية تلك التي سوف نستخدمها في طقوس الغناء فوق العظام، أية ترنيمة للخلق، أية ترنيمة لإعادة الخلق، وسوف تُشكِّل الحقائق التي نتذكرها كيان الأغنية.
