"The Creator gathered all of creation and said, 'I want to hide something from humans until they have fully prepared themselves for it. It is the realization that their essence is unity with Me.'
The eagle said, 'Give it to me; I'll take it to the moon and hide it there.' But the Creator said, 'No, one day they will go there and find it.' Then the salmon said, 'Give it to me; I'll hide it in the bottom of the sea.' 'No,' said the Creator, 'they'll get there too.' Well, the buffalo said, 'Give it to me; I'll bury it in the plains.' The Creator said, 'No, they will get there. They will cut into the skin of the earth, and they will find it even there.'
Then Grandmother Mole spoke, she who has no physical eyes to see the outer world but has spiritual eyes to see the inner world, and she said, 'Put it inside them; they'll never find it there until they have prepared.'
And the Creator said, 'It is done.'"
