What am I seeking?
When I asked for clarity today, this is what flowed.
The issues I have with the church are the same issues I am now having with traditional spirituality.
It is not God, the Orishas, the Ancestors or the Deities it is the human beings who manipulate spirit to attempt to control me.
At this stage in life I am not looking to become like another person, culture etc. I am looking for the common thread that connects us across our diversity.
Not interested in taking on other’s battles or to control others.
In my interactions others try to remold, reshape, direct, indoctrinate and in some instances force through fear and intimidation to follow to join to become part of their world.
Since embarking on interacting with others spiritually this year, I have gained a greater appreciation for my African Ancestors that endured their time in America.
I have deepened my respect for the trials and pains they endured and because of them; others of the African Diaspora have more advantages coming to this country.
So far it is only the Orishas that have not been foreign to me. From the first moment I learned of them, I felt a return home spiritually.
I love the energies
of Native American wisdom I have studied. I feel God in nature, in babies, in
my day to day.
Do I ignore the warnings from my “spirit”?
It is about humanity at this time in our evolution.
Each tradition has contributions to the elevation of humanity. I am seeking understanding of spiritual traditions.
It is about finding the commonality between all spiritual beliefs, faiths and walks of life that is the highest truth, the rest is dogma.
We all have so much to learn, let’s focus on the learning.
Spirit uses people and it is how you deal with it that matters.

My Ancestors contributed to building this nation
and making it a superpower.
My Ancestors made a home in a foreign land.
As Africans from the continent, the Caribbean,
Europe and all around the globe continue migrating here; we have much to learn
from each other.
So far it is only the Orishas that have not been foreign to me. From the first moment I learned of them, I felt a return home spiritually.
I love the energies of the Orishas, it is how humans attempt to manipulate this knowledge to control others that bothers me, always has, always will.
