Welcome to the TIPs (Theory In Practice)

The Creator gathered all of creation and said, 'I want to hide something from the humans until they READY for it. It is the realization that they create their own Reality.

The Eagle said, “Give it to me, I will take it to the Moon.

The Creator said,” No, one day they will go there and find it. The Salmon said, “I will hide it on the bottom of the ocean” “No, they will go there too”.

The Buffalo said, “I will bury it on the Great Plains”.

Then Grand-mother mole, who lives in the breasts of Mother Earth, and who has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes, said ,”Put it in them”.

And the Creator said, “It has done”.Sioux legend
