Spiritual Principles

Native American spirituality has contributed much to our understanding of our place and purpose in life.  These are some *spiritual principles, borrowed from them, which may contribute to reaching spiritual harmony with our brothers and sisters while recognizing that we all share a common Father...one who is greater than all of His children:

  • Health - Spiritual, mental, and physical health is the foundation of accomplishing any of the other principles.  I must strive to do what will continue to bring wisdom and strength to my body, mind, and spirit.

  • Generations - I must bring honor to the generations that precede me so that the generations that follow will not have to overcome the wreckage of my dishonorable behavior.

  • Silence - I must learn to be silent, not only to be quiet but to listen, and know the presence and existence of God.  To meditate upon thanksgiving and planning the paths that will bring glory to God.

  • Happiness - I must seek to do the things that will bring happiness to others and too myself.

  • Kindness - I must always be willing to lend a hand to those less fortunate than I, and to demonstrate my love of my fellow man by offering prayers to my Father, God.

  • Power - I must learn, and apply the power of the these spiritual principles that I may do the will of my Father, God.

  • Respect - In all my affairs I must treat each and every person and all things with the respect and esteem that is appropriate to one of God's creations.
