Courage and Wisdom

 

From time to time, fear is an intrusive event on life’s journey. It whispers in the shadows, and on uncertain paths, and stirs within the uncontrolled mind.

Contrarily, courage is not the denial of fear; it is the act of controlling the emotions and thoughts, accepting fear's warnings and moving forward in wisdom and resolve. The courageous understand that fear can sharpen awareness and deepen wisdom, if they use it in it’s proper context!

In our spirituality, courage is a virtue, which aligns with the teachings of the South, which warms the heart and illuminates the way without distracting the seeker.

Fear may arise, but it must not lead. To press forward in courage is to reclaim mastery over one’s inner world. Each courageous act strengthens the spirit until the true nature of the Divine is revealed in us. Courage is built through small, steady acts of wisdom and resolve.

Never allow a simple feeling of fear to direct your path, instead use the wisdom of generations to lay out the path before you.

Passing On Our Culture

Culture is not merely genetic heritage, but instead the way we are raised! Culture is passed from generation to generation, not by sending the children away to be raised by others, not by letting them raise themselves, but by allowing the children to be with us, teaching them by example, how to navigate this world in the traditional way. By this do we pass on our traditions, our customs, our understanding, our connection, our spirituality, our culture!
