Very interesting and unique experience. I have recognized the rabbit totem lately too, which is a shared experience in our consciousness. [/size]
Hmmm thanks Eric; most likely a correct observation that may be something we need to look at together… since this Indian wise tale just came to my attention.
The origin of the rabbit totem in Native American cultures is often told through the story of the Rabbit and Eye Walker. Eye Walker was a witch who befriended the rabbit. Eye Walker showed unrequited loyalty to her dear rabbit friend in the legend, but the acts of kindness were never acknowledged by rabbit. Rabbit abandons Eye Walker because he fears her magical powers. Eye Walker is saddened and feels betrayed so she sets a curse on Rabbit.
The rabbit for evermore will be called “Fear Caller,” for when he calls out to the eagle in flight or any of the predators he states he is afraid of them; in turn they take him as a meal. This story teaches people about the power and value of friendship and about expressing gratitude for that friendship, all while demonstrating to us that our actions and in-actions have consequences.
The Ultimate Lesson
Above all, Rabbit and Eye Walker teach people how to confront fear by acknowledging it first, then letting go of it. If one lives in fear of an imagined tragedy, the perceived “what-ifs,” then misfortune will find you. If you instead focus on the “what is,” you will find happiness. The rabbit reminds us not to focus on the bad in our lives and in the world, but on the good.https://blog.kachinahouse.com/meaning-of-the-rabbit-totem-to-native-americans/#:~:text=The%20origin%20of%20the%20rabbit%20totem%20in%20Native,acts%20of%20kindness%20were%20never%20acknowledged%20by%20rabbit.
