Embracing Purity of Spirit
Something a pathfinder always tries to do is to live life in a manner that constantly seeks purity of spirit within one’s self, and by embracing certain virtues, we will find this journey a bit easier.
At the core of this are virtues recognized by Lakota as being at the foundation of their culture … the same virtues that guided them for centuries before the coming of the Europeans to Americas.
These virtues include: Humility, Respect, Honor, Love, Compassion, Generosity, Truthfulness, Sacrifice, Bravery, Perseverance, Fortitude and Wisdom.
We have expanded on these slightly to add: Commitment, Patience, Kinship, and Spirit.
Picture our life’s journey traveling in a circular pattern.
If we embrace those virtues that lead to purity of spirit, we will find ourselves spiraling closer and closer to Great Spirit and the Great Mystery that is his Creation.
The key is figuring out what they mean to you and how best to apply them within your daily life as you walk upon Mother Earth.
