O'Siyo,

Black Elk once said:

"The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells Wakan-Taka (the Great Spirit), and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us. This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this. The second peace is that which is made between two individuals, and the third is that which is made between two nations. But above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is known that true peace, which, as I have often said, is within the souls of men..."

I have created this group for personal reasons... for I am on the journey... seeking to become a better me, but not just for me. I do this for my child, for Mother Earth, for man kind.

I hope to share with others some of what I have discovered this far on my journey, and I hope that others will come, sit, and share their own knowledge and spiritual growth.

I know that there are a few other amazign groups on the Red Road, Native American Indian Spirituality... but I seek to share in my own way. To grow and learn from the past and incorporate it into my present and my future.

I invite you to join me on this Joureny of the Spirit.

Gentle Journey,

I personally believe that the journey the spirit takes and or leads us on is one that may traverse many religions, many beliefs... but ultimatently is name less, or rather does not fit into a neat little box or under a tidy little title because it is something that is beyond what words can fully describe...

Spirituality is unique to each individual... even though we can and do learn from each other we also must learn from ourselves, via our experiences, and how we precive infromation that is granted to us...

Would love  to know your thoughts...

I too am on a journey..to seek to be as I was meant to be..and to benefit and protect that which is in this life span..Trying to walk in beauty is not always easy but I am determined for the sake of all connection and Creator and Mother Earth...I think if we walk in our trueselves we are walking in our spiritual rightness...our own spirits know from which we came and where we return and they never lose connection to the Creator...everything around us reminds us to be mindful and to remain walking with eternal purpose...*~*~*~

Thanks for starting this beautiful group

Hugs

Our journey's take so many paths in life, as we get older we decide to make the right choice to settle on one. Though it has many peaks and valleys, it leads us path of knowning the creator and all others who share in similar journeys.  Please rember any journey can start you on the right direction, however you must be on alert for possible dangers along the way.

I also walk the journey of the Heart. It has led me down many paths and lessons. Though it isn't always easy, I perservere, for it is what my spirit knows as truth. Through these experiences I learn to be a better me. Out in creation, In solitude, I listen to the messages all around me. Embraced by our mother and my mind set in gratitude, I feel as if I've come home.

Walk Softly, Nikki

..I have loved my journey....struggled with my journey....been indifferent to my journey....despised my journey..and sometimes almost hated my journey...but..I am still here..doing the best that I can...with what I have....and am feeling stronger for it. I am fully committed to my Path...and it's not an easy committment to fulfill as I am sure most of you would agree..lol...I often..in the beginning..thought I was going mad...maybe others did think I was mad..lol..but...I never seemed to 'fit in' during the earlier years....Some parts of the journey have been easier than others...and sometimes I have thought I couldn't battle on anymore...but something always kicked in..and I found the strength to go on again.

It's really good to hear of all your experiences, and I look forward to learning and sharing this part of my journey with you all.....

((((((hugs))))))

WADO! THANK YOU! I think that is what our joureny is all about... the struglgles, the easiness,at times loving and learning at others despising and stuck... but all the hardships and joys... on our journey teaches, strengthens us... completes us and makes us a better more knowledgeable, understanding, loving and tolerant person.

I am glad that you are here with us! Thanks for joining and sharing.

Gentle Blessings

..I am glad to be here, and very much look forward to learning more about myself and you all.

I wasn't sure whether to post what I wrote last night, but guessed all those on a journey would understand what I meant. It just looked rather negative when I re read it! lol I guess it's better ( although not easy!) to uncover the 'negative' so we can face it 'head on'. I like to have balance, so the good and the 'not so good' walk hand in hand....lol

It's great to have like minded folks to travel with for a while.....

((((hugs))))
