I said what I perceive amongst some as a vehement hatred for white people today who as far as I know in large part have nothing to do with the terrible atrocities that were carried out in the past. I did not suggest a cookie cutter approach to anything, and I will continue to learn and appreciate the various cultures and truths they offer.
Those who have sought out this information and abused that trust have earned the feelings expressed about them. It is wrong to try to profiteer off of such things, and for that I am sorry for what was done. As one tradition has it to embrace the wrongs done to another as if it were caused by oneself, to apologize, ask forgiveness, and express love, that is my intent. I do believe we are all ultimately one, and have much to give to one another. I also want to be clear that when I said, "I care not what culture brought them about, for I love and respect them all." that I was not saying that I don't care about the native American culture, but that I love and respect all of the cultures that have gifted the world with so much. I know that I cannot understand fully what it is to be Native American, but I do believe that I can learn from their traditions and spirituality much as I can of other cultures as well. The "white" culture was not always about psychology, and there are many wonderful teachings in the old ways found in that culture as well. You also do not know my heritage. As it is, I can trace my ancestry back to at least 2500 bc, and have enjoyed learning about that part of my lineage. We stopped at 2500 bc just because it seemed far enough. I wonder what my dna carries and maybe that has part to do with the spiritual calling I have felt from a young age. Again, thank you for sharing, and as always, I look forward to any other truths that come from those who have been blessed with teachings that they are allowed to share, much as the Mayans now seem to be officially doing. |
