“Celebrations of Spirit & Ceremony”
For me, tradition is something I try to avoid accepting blindly without scrutinizing whether or not it has outlived its original function. Tradition is only following the exact path of your elders without understanding the reason. Perhaps today there is a better way, a better path to the same destination that needs to be explored and appreciated.
The ultimate destination is your intimate connection to your Spiritual Grandfathers. What brings you to a greater understanding of who you are, and how you arrive, is through personal introspection and celebration of your unique being. I believe that we all must carve our own path through life, but by following what people call tradition without thinking through whether or not it fits in your life, you may not be on the right path, because sometimes tradition can be misleading.
The ancient prophecies talk of all nations coming together and sharing an understanding of each others cultures and beliefs. The sharing of the pipe is a powerful way to promote understanding and communication among all nations and will provide future generations with the ability to understand one another and to live in harmony. This is how I choose to dedicate my life – promoting understanding and respect for all peoples of the earth, celebrating life and Spiritual connection in ceremony and sharing my vision with the world.
