our connection to nature is the hidden knowledge of the mind

When we are brought to the edge of the unknown, to that within us which is beyond what is comfortable and familiar, we come to end up in a state of spontaneous knowledge. There our true voice emerges in its pictorial language and stark contrast to our usual factual or literal use of language. It happens when things quiets down around us, and we find ourselves in the outskirts of our minds in a forest, or in the mountains or the table-lands in the north. Or when our lives suddenly change for some reason and we end up outside of where we are used to be. Here we suddenly meet what is the experience of a hidden knowledge, or our interpersonal psychic life. All that which independently of us connects us to everything else around us. We discover that we get help and advice from different transparent relational psychic forms of our mind, independent of our ego’s, or by whatever opposites we choose to pick out our personality from. This aspect of our mind or activity of nature in its connection to our within is conceptualized in sami as Gieddegeažegálgu. Something we experience when we are ready to get ensouled by nature itself. This also means that before we get into the trials of Uksáhkká, Juoksáhkká and Sáráhkká, we need to spend a lot of time with Gieddegeažegálgu. Often that association means many years in her immediate vicinity.
