(Note: Items in bold are my emphasis.)

You will not see a coyote stockpiling rabbits for winter. You will also not see rabbits building walls to keep the coyotes out. We trust in the wisdom that provides for our experience, and we are not attached to outcomes. This is because we experience on many levels of reality. This is only one.

You, Man, are the only creature who has created this idea of dominion, of superiority. You are the only one to believe in opposites and must therefore protect yourselves from a self-imposed idea; an idea that has life only in your reality—the one reality that you inhabit. We have only love. You have the opposite, which is fear.
 
Instead of surrendering to the flow of life, you must protect yourselves from the whole experience. You have therefore come to consider yourselves co-creators with God, and instead of accepting life, you try to change it. Do you really think you can do a better job than God? We don’t.

You have walled yourselves off from life by your ideas, and you call this intelligence. You believe having dominion over something makes you superior, safe. If you can manipulate life, then you are in control, and being in control makes you feel safe. You are not safe! You are in extreme danger of losing this experience you covet. We are trying to communicate with you and show you the wisdom of a simpler way.
