Native American Spirituality

The religious beliefs, practices, and rituals associated with Native Americans.

Early Native American beliefs, though diverse, often shared common religious ideas. Many believed in a ÒGreat Spirit,Ó that nature in all of its forms possesses spirits, and that all life is interconnected.

Seasons and moons often were viewed as marking times of evocation for spirits and prosperity.

Some New Age believers promote revival of Native American spirituality, seeing obvious parallels with their own views.

Across the world on June 8, people around the globe will be focusing on an unusual celestial event that people of Spirit will honor as a point of revelation. It is the transit of the planet Venus across the Sun. And it offers profound possibilities that we can call in to illuminate our lives and give meaning to the course of our world, and the way in which we wish to live.

This offers a tremendous opportunity for people to help shift our planet toward a balance of Spirit – honoring the Female Power that has been dominated by the Male Power for thousands of years, and open inner doorways for healing self, others and our world.

There is much synchronicity to this timing. On May 8, exactly one month before the Venus transit, Native American peoples in the Americas and others of Spirit joined to honor the Earthly Mother through a giant Medicine Wheel, 600 miles in diameter.

In this article Carl Johan Calleman predicts a unification of the modern expressions of some of the most advanced ancient traditions of the West and the East; the Mayan and the Vedic.

 While quantum physics may be a modern development, pantheism is in fact an ancient spiritual path that holds everything in the Universe to be sacred. Eastern philosophies, Native American, pagan and Hawaiian beliefs that view all of nature as divine and interconnected can be said to be pantheistic. "God" here is not a bearded white man in the clouds, but more like "the Force" in Star Wars; the sum of all that is, and every aspect of existence at the same time. To pantheists, God is holographically everywhere at once.

The belief in angelic beings is of course ancient, and spans many cultures. In the West, many associate angels with Christianity, Judaism and the Bible, but references to angelic beings can be found in Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and Islam. Even some Native American teachings include angels, and other shamanistic spiritual belief systems include interaction with birds or other winged creatures who bring guidance. Created prior to these more "recent" religions, depictions of angelic beings can be found in ancient Egyptian art, and Isis is traditionally depicted with angel wings. In all of these religious cultures, angels are believed to be messengers of God, aiding and guiding humans through life.

The fourteenth century Native American Iroquois Constitution opens with a prayer of gratitude. It offers thanks "to the earth where men dwell; to streams of water, springs and lakes; to the maize and fruits and medicinal herbs; to the sun and moon, wind and thunder... and to the great creator, the source of life".

Gratitude is one of the first principles of spiritual well-being. Blessings abound in the life of each of us, and a keener appreciation of the same unlocks the secrets of the universe. In opening our hearts wide to render thanks we automatically create the space in our consciousness for greater grace to flow in. A thankful heart is an open heart and is thus, open to receiving. Meister Eckhart, the German mystic observed, "If the only prayer you say in your life is thank you, that would suffice."

After you have a clear picture in your mind of what you want, you build up a surcharge of mana, do the Ha Ritual and send the seeds (thought forms) along your aka cords to the lower self. The lower self carries these on the aka cords to the high self and Aumakua.
