Cosmic Creation Myths Across CulturesCosmic Creation Myths Across CulturesCreation myths are stories told all throughout time to depict how the world was framed and started. There are a few creation myths crosswise over various cultures. Stories of how the first people came to inhabit the earth. The Native Americans have a few myths. The Seminole Indians believe in a Creator who is otherwise called the Grandfather of everything. They thought the Creator made the earth. “He then made all the animals of the world. The next step in his creation was to place all living things in a shell and placed it beside a tree. The creator was hoping that the panther would be the first one to leave the shell. However, the shell sat for a long time. Overtime the root of the tree formed with the shell and finally a crack appeared. Then the winds helped to make the crack wider. The bird began to peck at the crack until finally the panther emerged from the shell. The rest of the animals followed after that and they all went out to find their proper place on Earth” (nativeamcreation.html, 2015).
The creator in this myth is a man. There does not appear to have any importance to this. One can just accept that man was constantly viewed as the more noteworthy being. The Zulu myth starts with only one seed that tumbled to the Earth. Once the seed flourished in the earth, Uthlanga started to develop. These are long reeds that signify “the wellspring for goodness sake”. The first to develop developed into a man. His name was Unkulunkulu. He is known as the First Man and the maker for goodness sake. Unkulunkulu strolled everywhere throughout the earth and picked off the other men and ladies that were becoming off of the reeds. He did likewise with every one of the creatures that were developing and named them. He then made the moon, sun, rain, wind, mountains, valleys, and lakes. He assembled the first men and ladies and demonstrated
a good deal about the power and strength of man, and the goodness of his name. To this day, however, there are some who think that a man’s name can only be learned from a tree and only by a fruit, i.e. from this tree. This is an erroneous assertion. The trees that are planted for the tree are the ones that have been given up for our generation. We shall speak of these trees in a later chapter. The tree was built to stand next to our own Tree and be considered a tree of life and goodness. There were three sets of “Tree” as well as our first. The first set was named Unkulunkulu. These three trees have been named Unkulunkulu (see also: 710(p) and 721(p)] and the name of each of these trees is Unkulunulu. Unkulunulu stands for “being and the will” and “the power over creation” but is actually the only one named Unkulunulu that stands on its own. The will is our power over our existence in our physical world. And Unkulunkulu is our being-motive and the power of the universe. Unkulunulu is the most powerful creator within our physical universe. This power is manifest to any creature that touches it. It is not just for ourselves, the great races in the world, but for every other race. It is what we feel inside us, who perceive it through the power of Unkulunulu as well as through that of the great beings of the universe, and our own ability to recognize the same and for which we have chosen to love God (see: 2.16.30-33); “the will of God” (4.10.35). It is the power of uniting all of ourselves into one divine community of living beings, without even talking to each other or to the other, yet within this community we will do everything and make everything. It is this power that manifests on our skin, our bodies, our minds, our physical bodies. It takes great inspiration from this tree itself. This knowledge and our capacity that it has been given for our generation, and that there is no one else at the root of this power, this tree, is the root of our wisdom, our humanity, our spirit, our spirituality, our courage. We will go on living this same life. Unkulunkulu has been the true-God being in the universe for many generations, not in small circles but in the midst of the vastness of the universe (2.17.44-51). In every day life does not pass under this tree unless we work or choose to work. Life is one purpose, and so God has given it life in order to satisfy our needs as individuals. He has given it the power and power to live to its fullest potential. Since we all experience an abundance of potential, we must do our best to find and perfect that potential. We must do our best in every situation by working to be able to accomplish our goals with greater ability. The knowledge we acquire in life provides nourishment to our will to further our own lives, to grow and to find a better place within
