I have been reading much about Native Americans. Many Native Americans have given up their Native religions, and either adopted Christianity or a "mix" of Christian and native religion. The trouble is this-- the Christianity they are adopting is the exoteric, and is devoid of the esoteric. This is because, as explained by christian Mystic in the link below, the esoteric aspects of the religion have been all but lost through the ages. I invite all Native Americans and all who read this to explore the esoteric aspects of true Christianity, and of all true religions, through the links I have provided, as I have been inspired to do. Discover the primordial sound of OM within, the true name and word of God. Discover your true identity, your own innate Divinity.
Also I am inspired to speak about the spiritual path, and of the plight of our mother Earth. The natural and spiritual way to live is in a village, as Indians in both North America and in India have traditionally lived. Through such practices as helping to create village societies, recycling and composting, practicing organic gardening, solar and wind power, vegitarianism, natural health care, midwifery, meditation and cooperative living we can still create a world where there are no environmental diseases, no malnourished children, and no wars. Diversity will flourish, rainforest will expand, new coral reefs will be born. There will be no poverty, and no affluence either. Success will be measured in peoples readiness to pass on what they have learned, and their ability to help others. People will practice loving kindness, compassionate action, joy in serving others, detachment and equanimity. In writing these words I am drawing inspiration from the Global Ecovillage Network & Ecovillage Training Center, and from the Sarvodaya Movement of Sri Lanka. Hear the call of your heart, and find some way to serve your Sacred mother Earth, and humanity as a whole. We, as God's children, are also God's instruments for change. Renounce greed and ignorance, and become free in the light of God's truth.
