These are two different kinds of cultures, even in today’s world: One is always looking up, not at the stars anymore, but at the one and only God up there. Mathematics, music, aesthetics, agriculture, and the spiritual process developed in this culture because they paid attention to the earth. Because they built homes and they had to count how many bags of grain they had grown, they started arithmetic. They started building homes because they started building homes, they started singing. Once they knew how to reap from the earth, they stayed in the same place. They did not have to go around picking something. That means, they had food growing in one place. Because they looked at the earth, they developed agriculture, almost before anyone else on the planet could think of it. They always saw the earth as their mother and paid attention to her. The indigenous people of this land did not look up.
