"So, with the Native way, it's not whether people find out about what
you've done or not... that's not nearly as strong as having your source
of morality within you, having your morality arise out of an inner
perception of what is wrong, ridiculous, or shameful. You are your
own judge."

Inside each of us is a voice. It is a quiet voice. It is a guiding voice. If we listen for it, it will
guide us, and help us avoid disaster. It is especially active when we are afraid, when we are
in doubt, when we are scared, when we need help, and when we get angry. If we are excited
emotionally, it is hard to hear this voice. If we are angry, it's hard to hear this voice because
it is usually quiet. The best thing we can do is to practice getting quiet. If we don't get quiet,
there is another voice called the judge. It tells us to attack or say bad things to other people,
or to judge ourselves. This voice is loud and usually gets us into trouble.
