The Mind
In western traditions, knowledge is thought to be an internal activity of the MIND. The MIND for the Anishinabe is noodin. This verb refers to the activities of the mind. Hence, the phrase “Brain Storm.” The verb noodin is also the word that means WINDY. Like a windy day in Texas, blowing debris to and fro upon the surface of the earth, knowledge is the wind that blows the mind to and fro. This externality (knowledge, the wind) generates kinetics that creates the notion of di-mension (space).
In the Bible, Cain went to an eastern land called in Shemetic discourse, NUWD. This word means “to wander” or “to flee.” The Hebrew word nuwd and the Anishinabe word noodin are cognitive terminologies for describing THE MIND. The Hebrew word nuwd is related to the Egiptian word ruwt. The Ruwt or Ruti represented a pair of twins who are called Shu (wind) and Tefnut (water) in the heliopolitan cosmogony. They are the first pair of off-spring created by Tamura (otem).
The mind is like a birch-bark scroll that is marked by knowledge. The brain has paths or neural traces called ROUTES (ruti, nuwd, noodin) connected to “sacred spaces” called in modern terms ATTRACTORS. Attractors take on a myriad of heiroglyphs (i.e. spiral, point, circlular, toriod and butterfly). Awareness is an example of “sacred space (wakan)” that takes the image of a spiral or a simple point in consciousness. One who achieves wakan has re-discovered his/her place of balance.
These points of balance contain large themes of the human experience. They are passed on from cultural story tellers to listeners directly through dreams and/or visions.
