Spirituality

I know that my culture have saved me and taught me to live my life. So, why don't I live with their faith? I want to because of recent events of Indian Residential Schools. My real father and stepfather was part of that system. And they lost faith with the Catholic Church. 

So, I might as well follow foot and step into my Mi'kmaq Cultural community. I know that I have been living with Mawita'mk Society who wants to reconnect with the culture, tradition and rituals and customs of the Mi'kmaq nation.

I've wrote about my struggles with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. I've shown a good side of me and I know that I've learned a lot about my culture. I have learned the value of traditional medicine and traditional knowledge. I've learned the seven sacred teachings and upbringing of the First Nation. I know that I've learned a lot with my stepfather.

He is cultural, traditional and knowledgeable in the Mi'kmaq culture, traditions and heritage. I want to learn what I can with him. 

And I want to have a good faith and self-confidence in my steps when I walk on mother earth. Native psycho-spirituality is an interesting subject because there is the seven sacred teachings, the respect for all life on earth and a faith in a Creator. An Supreme Maker of the universe and everything in it.

I know that I have been taught these values, belief and foundational framework of Mi'kmaq seven sacred teachings. I know that I want to immersed into the cultural, traditional and social aspects of the native psycho-spirituality. I feel that it could have an bigger impact on how to respect human life, life on earth with biodiversity and diversity of human beings. I feel that I want to live with this faith because it teaches us that we should love and respect all life on earth.

I got my stepfather to rely on and I got my real dad to tell. I know that I want to be part of the solution and embrace solutions, not excuses. 

I hope that I could learn pro-active lifestyle where I take my own lead in my life and do the independent, adult thing to do. And to do the chores on my own. And to be well immersed into the culture, tradition and heritage of the Mi'kmaq nation. I want to learn the language and use my English language skills to explain my position on European culture.

I know that self-made man isn't the richest man but a person of exemplary independence and intelligence that his parents taught him. A lot could go into the teachings, upbringing and schooling of a child. And I know that I was taught a lot in my life. I was the family leader where I wanted peaceful solutions, diplomatic relationships and a good understanding.

I wanted a good understanding of the people and a good comprehension of the English language and history. I wanted to understand the shared histories of our cultural hometown. I know that I want to understand the shared histories of Nova Scotia and the rest of Mi'kma'ki. I know that I want to be aware of the Mi'kmaq land and the Treaties and rights of my people.

I know that the Mi'kmaq values, ideologies and traditional knowledge of these values have stories with them for life lessons. And I know that I've learned many things and life lessons to academic lessons and community College lessons. I've learned much after reflection and a good understanding of my past doings. I know that I've learned emotional intelligence through relationships and therapy. And I've learned English literacy and fluency from Edna Doucette, my stepfather sister and my family.

I know that I gave couple of family members that's religious. But I know that I want to live my life with my stepfather. I want to bring my Mi'kmaq Spirituality with me to the afterlife. 

I've seen evidences of the supernatural and I've seen many debunking the mysteries of cameras and other things. I hope that I could develop, grow and perfect my understanding of Spirituality. The Philosophy of Native Psycho-spirituality is a gift for all mankind. And I know that I want to live with the diversity of human families, biodiversity and life on this planet known as mother earth.

I know that I was raised Catholic but I am ashamed of what recent discoveries of children's dead bodies have produced in me. I have a real father that's a Ibdian Residential School survivor of Shubenacadie Indian Residential School. And he prays like them and he has learned not to trust the government. As well most of my family.

Now I understand and comprehend the impacts and the traumas associated with Catholic faith. Thankfully, I dropped out of Sunday School and I went straight for the Native Spirituality that I was taught. I was taught to listen to my heart and let my soul soar. And have a good head on my shoulders. Like a good conscience and intellect.

I know that I had many struggles in my life but none like the battles I face with my Catholic faith raising. I wish I'd knew better so that way I could live with Mi'kmaq psycho-spirituality and understand it more clearly. Thankfully, it had no attendance but ceremonies of gratitude and spiritual praying. I know that I could ask my real father to get into Native Spirituality. I know that I could rely on my real father for Mi'kmaq Spirituality and get him into that. Teaching me the language and heritage of our people. And teaching me the clothes and spiritual items of my people.

Sacred gifts of our people is having spiritual experiences and items. And I know that I've been learning a lot with Mike Doucette. I want to have everything I need in my Mi'kmaq Spirituality to work the language and traditions of my people.

I know that I haven't touched base with Clark Paul, Mike Doucette and my stepfather Billy Morrison. I know that I want to convert to their spiritual warrior practices and prayers for life. And work with all that. I know that I've been living with Mawita'mk Society which is a cultural Mi'kmaq group home and learning about tradition, rituals and customs of healing and the practices of healing. My culture is deep rooted in healing practices.

I feel that I'll have an enriched life of this kind of knowledge of the culture, tradition and heritage of my people. I feel that I have accomplished a lot in my life as a Catholic.

But now I want to accomplish things with the Mi'kmaq faith of The Creator. I want to be living with the Originator of the universe and live in my original faith of my people. I know that I could rely on some sources of Mi'kmaq studies. And I could learn everything I need to with Political Science, Mi'kmaq Studies, Psychology. And with my next semester I could learn Psychology, Engineering for Sustainable Development and Anthropology. And with my next semester I could learn psychology, Mi'kmaq Studies and Social Work. And with my last semester I could learn Psychology, Social Work, Mi'kmaq Studies.

I know that I could learn a few things with my family. And I know that I could learn a lot with Cape Breton University's Bachelor of Arts program. I hope that I could because I want to major in Psychology. And hopefully, get a job with ATVs and car in Cape Breton Search.

I hope that I could be really immersed into the jobs and volunteering of Cape Breton Island. I hope that I could get better at my jobs and errands. And work with so much that I could learn a thing or two about the job. I do enjoy learning and I know that learning is multifaceted. So, I hope that I could get a driver job too. While I'm at Mawita'mk Work Program. I want to get into driving big time and become a professional driver.

I know that I have tons of potentials and workables in my life where I could work the angles, methods and untapped sources. I know that I want to tap into all my sources and get my life better experienced in driving, Cape Breton Search and Rescue, We'koqma'q Firefighting and counseling. I want to become a Emergency Medical Responder/Medical Officer and other things. I want to have that much job experiences in my life that I've done everything I wanted to with a second kidney.

I hope that I could get on the Transplant list and get my second kidney. Of course, I'll need to walk a lot more but I hope that I could get in shape while I'm healing from a day surgery. It's been a week and I'm still kind of bleeding. I hope that I could get better soon and get my assessment for the Transplant list.

I know that I've been through a lot in different stages of my life. And a lot of traumas in my former lifetime of Eskasoni. But that's because of Indian Residential Schools and the onslaught of government. I know that I am learning a lot with Canadian shared histories with First Nations, Mètis and Inuit people. I know that I am interested in all that.

I love my family and I want them to turn back to the culture, tradition and customs of our people.
