Colonisation, Christianization, Social & Cultural diversity, inequality, & racism have had a negative demoralising effect on Aboriginal Australia. The time to renew our Spiritual Heritage is now.Budger ( Nurunderi ) DavidsonFounder at Baiame Cultural and Spiritual Research ABN 44615835484

An essential ingredient of a people's culture is their spiritual beliefs. It binds and moulds a people together

as one distinct identity. Once this component is taken away the people become lost and degraded, thus

being assimilated into the dominant community of the oppressor. Furthermore they have nothing to

preserve their identity and have to accept some one else's culture and the people of that culture. Since

colonisation there has been a push to absorb and assimilate Aboriginal people into mainstream society.

For a people that have lost their spirit and soul is a people that have lost their very essence of life and will

cease to exist as a people. Perspectives of anthropologists and educators both Aboriginal & non

Aboriginal should be made aware that their scientific research and descriptions on the fundamental social

and spiritual characteristics of Pamanyungan - Australia are flawed. Benewa or Baiame is the Overlord of

this Island Continent and his two wives, Yurlunggul the Great Eternal Mother of the rain (The Rainbow

Serpent) who forms the Spirit Children. Nungeena Eternal Mother of the rivers and waterfalls and Yahi sun

Goddess who assisted in creation of life. This ancient knowledge had almost become lost due to the

coming of Christianity or 'Yahweh' (Jehovah), who is recognised as being the Overlord of the Middle East

region, the God of the Jews and Arabs. Through the sons of Abraham the descendants of Isaac and

Ishmael came into being. The true Aboriginal beliefs are rich in culture, wisdom and beauty. In these

beliefs the ancestors have sustained and caused them to survive over the thousands of years. If it were

not so, Aboriginal Australia would not have been here today. Colonisation, protection and forced removals

into the government mission and the later assimilation policies had contaminated & increased these

diversities to such an extent it almost destroyed our ancestral belief system.

Pamanyungan

Who can understand this timeless land

But those whom born of this sod

Whom can understand its spiritual truths

But to those to whom this timeless land belongs.

Whom can understand its ledgens their deep emboddied truths

But to whom this truth still cling

Our spiritual evolution thus destroyed

And the desolation that this did bring

Only those whom still here and to whom

This timeless land belongs.
