the murrinh-patha have a oneness of thought, belief, and expression without equal in christianity. they see all parts of their lives, thoughts and culture as being influenced by their dreaming. they do not see a difference between spiritual or material things. there is no difference between things that are sacred and things that are not. all life is 'sacred', all conduct has 'moral' results. all life's meaning comes out of this eternal, everpresent dreaming.
