“The Indian regarded the human being as a 'divine mortal', or a 'divine physical being'. Indeed, I have had it explained to me that the prefix "hu" in some tongues meant 'divine', and "man" of course, is mortal. So a human being is a divine mortal being - a dual being existing in the realms of both spirit and matter; one spiritual, the other physical; one eternal, the other temporal.” HumansSpiritualityHumanMortalsNative AmericansEtymologyAmerican IndiansDivine Being Book:Earth Medicine: Revealing Hidden Teachings of the Native American Medicine Wheel Source: Earth Medicine: Revealing Hidden Teachings of the Native American Medicine Wheel
