Mutant Message Down Under

This book appears to be at the center of some pretty intense controversy. Is the story really true? Is it really hurtful to the Aboringinal Tribes?

The book describes the tale of one womans walkabout in the Australian Outback with an unknown aboriginal tribe she calls "Real People".

During her time in the desert she is allowed to learn about many ancient customs and rituals with the Real People. She learns about the nature of the world and the innate harmony that is present each second. She learns that this harmony spans all species, all life forms...everything. She learns to never leave a situation unattended, lest she will have to re-visit the lesson again. She learns that every piece of this world has a purpose for being. She learns to learn from people how to be a better person. She learns that everyone must lead at some point in order to follow gracefully. She learns how to trust. She learns how to celebrate. She learns what real faith is. She learns how to live.

I think that some people are focusing too much on whether or not the story is true instead of opening up to the truth of the lessons in this powerful work.I haven't been so inspired after reading a book since "The Celestine Prophecy". Inf act, Reading the book has given root to my own spiritual walkabout.
