I was raised as a little white girl, lived in a middle class Canadian family, dressed like my peers, went to ordinary schools and learned the same lessons as they did. Something was always different though. I never quite felt like I could "follow them". It wasn't a feeling I would call disturbing like so many young people when they say they don't feel like they belong, but rather it was more like a questioning as if something was fundamentally out of place or upside down.
The feeling was a wonderment. I recall standing back wondering how come I didn't have the need to scream every time a song came on the radio. I didn't understand some pretty basic things about life; how come it wasn't more fair; how come people couldn't work together; and how come people followed questionable leaders or couldn't seem to see what I could so easily. Everything seemed to be a giant mystery.
One day, after my mother died in 1989, I decided I wanted to look into my ancestry a bit more. I knew I had Native blood in my veins. It hadn't been a secret but no one in my family on the Native side, my mother or my grandfather, talked about anything Native, at least that's what I thought.
For the past 15 years however, Spirit has been showing me something very different. There is Red Blood in my veins, and it's not only the reason I couldn't truly belong in the Mainstream, but I have come to understand it's the strongest and very best and real part of me.
You might wonder why I have come to feel that way, yes? Well, I find the Native philosophy, some of which I learned through spending every summer with my grandfather, is far more grounded, real and applicable than anything else I'd found. And this says a great deal because my search had been pretty thorough; 4 Christian faiths, Catholicism, New Age, Baha'i, Metaphysics and Buddhism, and today; a New Faith Circle housed in the Ecential Center.
New Faith Circle combines all the good stuff from all the other stuff; Christianity, Buddhism and even modern day Science. It has been born from personal experiences, from what is called The Truth; because it was never taught, interpreted or prescribed by any human being but rather comes strictly from Spirit itself. And this is a promise to you, the reader, as well. The only Truth preached here is that there is only one Source, the definition, experience and understanding of which is up to you.
New Faith Circle rises from the Eastern philosophies all the way to the ancient First Nation's wisdom. New Faith Circle embodies concepts such as a singular consciousness, the Circle of Life, the power of the Word and Thought, that Spirit is in everything and every-thing is in Spirit, all the way to the Divine Light and the Astral Body. New Faith Circle offers respect to everything and everyone and can be a Faith that anyone, of any belief can bask in, rest upon and feel they can belong to.
Won't you come and join this new horizon of Truth where only Spirit resides? You were lead here...trust your inner wisdom...trust your own Spirit as we journey together in New Faith.
