We are the melting pot. Most of us in this day and time are of mixed lineage and when we consider our ancestry it consists of a myriad of cultures, languages and beliefs. As we are seeking to learn spiritual  traditions it's imperative to check in with our feelings and intuition to ensure we are in harmony with our ancestry. And understand that though for example we may look african our closest spiritual guides may be indigenous to the americas, asia or europe. It's a complex puzzle to reconstruct. A way to navigate this is honoring the cultures we find ourselves drawn to, a truth is revealed in the attraction.

All traditions are indigenous to specific parts of the world, and often are best understood through the perspective of those native to the environment in which they developed. We are in a process of remembering. As we begin to explore and reembrace tradition, it is vital that we examine our world view and understand that we may require an unlearning to effectively align ourselves with traditional teachings .
