Hamaro kamungka turuwati / everything has tiger is a saying from the Arawak people in Colombia.
I don’t know what they mean by it, although this book suggests it means there is a potential threat everywhere.
That makes sense, but it got me curious about other ways to explore this saying.
What does it mean for me?
All happens within and as what I am
What the tiger is, is what all is.
To me, the tiger and everything else happens within and as what I am.
This is the small interpretation of awakening. It assumes that to me, everything inevitably happens within and as my true nature. As awake capacity for the world.
All happens within and as the divine
The divine is tiger and everything else. It’s all the divine.
This is the big interpretation of awakening and assumes my true nature is the true nature of everything.
It’s a mirror for me and colors my perception
I can find the tiger in me. What the tiger represents to me – its characteristics and dynamics – are also here in me.
And since it’s in me, it colors the whole world for me. I can find the tiger everywhere.
This is the projection side of it.

In more detail…
The tiger and everything else happens within and as what I am. This is the small interpretation of awakening. It assumes that to me, everything inevitably happens within and as my true nature. As awake capacity for the world.
I can also say that it’s all the divine. The tiger and everything else is the divine. This is the big interpretation of awakening and assumes my true nature is the true nature of everything.
And I can find the tiger in me, as who I am, as this human self. It mirrors something in me. And since this is in me, it colors my experience of my whole world. I can find it everywhere. This is the projection side of it.
