About Me
I am a man, now in his sixties, who has been shown by wise and loving mentors how Nature and religion are tied together, how they are part of ONE truth. I have learned that we are deeply rooted within the womb of our living Mother Earth, from whom everything we have comes to us. Thus, we are all connected as one family, progressing together within the life of the Earth, and nature, according to the Great Spirit's design and purpose.
My background provides me with two different points of view, two different worldviews from which to see and understand the Universe: one from my upbringing and education in mainstream America; and the other from my training and experiences as an adopted member (according to their traditions) of an ancient indigenous people. This dual background affords me the opportunity to act as a bridge between two perspectives, hopefully to better communicate different and sometimes conflicting ideas and values between cultures. I know this is something that one of my mentors hoped for me: that my understanding of modern Western people and culture would allow me to do better than he in communicating to its people (and all others) the knowledge and warnings being returned to us at this important time. The examples of my wise and loving mentors are ever before me as I pass on this message, helping others to better appreciate our Mother Earth.
I have been sharing these matters with others as a brother (on the Internet, in local talks, and in a university project) to help illuminate the truths found within all religions, and to help others prepare for the Purification cycle we have reentered, which leads to the glorification of the Earth and those who endure with Her.
I hold a B.A. and M.A. at a major university, where my studies have included native peoples, psychology, philosophy, and a broad spectrum of sciences.
