“I cured with the power that came through me. Of course, it was not I who cured, it was the power from the Outer World, the visions and the ceremonies had only made me like a hole through which this power could come to the two-leggeds.
If I thought that I was doing it myself, the hole would close up and no power would come through. Then everything I could do would be foolish.”
Black Elk, Holy Man of the Oglala Souix (1863-1950)
