What a wonderful place is the Glen! The setting of the Tales of the Indigo Wizard is perfect for the lessons to be learned! The lessons aren’t easy, because they take focus and persistence to learn, but they are simple in their clarity and in the modeling of the Glen’s inhabitants. Think of the Wizard suggesting to Snake to “go to the place where you’re not your skin.” How about the lesson to Ant and Bee about how to play (cooperatively, of course). He didn’t have to tell them anything. He just used props and they got the message!
Question: How do you best learn lessons? By example? Trial and error? Willingness to take good advice? Your own method?

Book One: The Awakening Tales
The Awakening Tales may seem like a fairy tale about talking animals and the wizard who mentors them. There is much more depth in these stories, however, than a surface reading suggests. The Awakening Tales is a symbolic, spiritual, and universal set of stories that can help readers consider their own enlightenment and relationship with the Divine.
Companion Guide to The Awakening Tales is a practical workbook that enables you to expand your understanding of the Indigo Wizard series of books, to probe your own awareness of their symbols and meanings, and to give you even more help for your growing spiritual wisdom. Exclusively available on TheIndigoWizard.com!

All of the above!
I think I best learn "lessons" by messing up! ha ha I usually don't repeat a bad move. But, being quiet and watching is another good example. We all have "our ways" I'm sure. Life throws many circumstances at us, so we learn to "deal". I guess the telling of the "tale" is how we pass the learning on,
and how we deal with out next challenge.
