One day, as the Native Americans went about their lives in peace, they encountered a group of nomads. These strangers, who had traveled far—perhaps across the Atlantic or the Strait—had come upon the copper deposits and began mining them furiously. To the nomads, copper was not a sacred gift but a tool for building empires, amassing wealth, and exerting control. They saw it as something to be claimed and owned, adhering to the principle of finders' keepers rather than recognizing the Creator’s authority. Copper, to them, was the key to power and dominion—a steppingstone toward the material ambitions that were driving Europe at the time.

The Native Americans tried to reason with the nomads, explaining that the copper was a gift from the Great Spirit and that its purpose was to sustain life, not to fuel possession and greed. They urged the nomads to see the harmony of the natural order, where resources were shared and respected, not exploited for the creation of hierarchies and domination. But the nomads, bound by their belief in conquest and accumulation, refused to listen. To them, the land and its treasures belonged to whoever could take them, not to everyone equally.

Conflict became inevitable, as the nomads sought to extract copper for their purposes, disregarding the sovereignty of the Native Americans and the balance of nature. A war broke out—a clash not just of cultures but of philosophies. On one side were the Native Americans, living by Living Law, respecting the gifts of the Creator, and upholding the sovereignty of all individuals. On the other were the nomads, driven by materialism and the pursuit of empire, rejecting natural Law in favor of possession and control.

This war symbolized the stark contrast between two worlds: one governed by the Creator’s truths and the other by human ambition and Legalism. While the Native Americans fought to protect what was sacred, they also fought to preserve the balance that ensured survival for all. Ultimately, this moment in history reflects the philosophical divide that we will now explore in depth—the difference between Western Philosophy, grounded in Law and sovereignty, and Eastern Philosophy, often driven by Legalism and systems of imposed order.

As we move into Eastern Philosophy and Legalism, we can see how it stands in stark contrast to Living Law, where sovereignty is replaced by control, freedom is replaced by regulation, and harmony is replaced by imposed order. It is the system that divides, regulates, and restricts, attempting to dominate nature and the individual rather than aligning with the Creator’s truths.
