I enjoyed this interview. I agree with her, freedom of religion. My grandfather was a medicine man. He told me, "Do not speak against any other beliefs, the one you go against might be the only one that helps you." Thank you for sharing.
Wise words from your Cheii. Our beliefs is an energy that is hard to explain, but energy never goes away, it transfers. Always wise to consider what energy you may throw out there, because you never know when it'll come back to you. Ahe' hee for sharing your cheii's knowledge.
She definitely was a pleasure to get to know during the course of the interview. We were very professional at the beginning with each other, but at the end she felt like a sister. We eventually caught up over dinner in our neck of the woods and she embraced our family like extended family. Her presence made us all that much closer.
I remember James Mischke from Navajo Community College Shiprock! He had a big influence on myself becoming a Social Worker to and going to Arizona State University. Mischke is a very -good man and mentor! I took his Social Work classes and Social and Behavioral health courses from 92-95!
Her laugh is powerful and contagious!!! Tina is a wisdom keeper and has so much to share… Thank you for a genuine and empowering series to our people!! You have earned a new subscriber!
Thank you so much! Tina’s laugh is a mood booster! We’ve got so many great stories to come. Thanks again for joining us on our journey across the Navajo Nation and beyond.
Tina could teach the world a lesson. Instruments of hate are always calling for more separation and less diversity. So much for understanding. They are not seeing that diversity is what makes the world an interesting and great place. Tina explains that being open to the knowledge, spirituality, and experience of ways that are different than yours is the key to understanding your own origins and beliefs. I can't say it as well as Tina does, but it seems to me she is saying do not go down the same path everyday. You will always end up in the same place. That sounds like Tao wisdom. Don't know much about it, but I read that Lao Tsu (sp?) said something like "a thousand mile journey begins with one step". Tina says flow with it and don't fight it. Thank you Tina.
Tina = nizhóní. 🙏🏻 "The more we idealize the past and refuse to acknowledge our childhood sufferings, the more we pass them on unconsciously to the next generation. Society chooses to disregard the mistreatment of children, judging it to be altogether normal because it is so commonplace. For some years now, there has been proof that the devastating effects of the traumatization of children take their inevitable toll on society-a fact that we are still forbidden to recognize. This knowledge concerns every single one of us, and-if disseminated widely enough-should lead to fundamental changes in society; above all, to a halt in the blind escalation of violence. It is not true that evil, destructiveness, and perversion inevitably form part of human existence, no matter how often this is maintained. But it is true that we are daily producing more evil and, with it, an ocean of suffering for millions that is absolutely avoidable. When one day the ignorance arising from childhood repression is eliminated and humanity has awakened, an end can be put to this production of evil. An unacknowledged trauma is like a wound that never heals over and may start to bleed again at any time. The achievement of freedom is hardly possible without the felt mourning. This ability to mourn, i.e, to give up the illusion of a happy childhood, can restore vitality and creativity if a person is able to experience that they were never loved as a child for what they were, but for achievements, success and good qualities. And that they sacrificed their childhood for this love, this will shake them very deeply. Only the mourning for what one has missed at the crucial time can lead to real healing. For the human soul is virtually indestructible, and its ability to rise from the ashes remains as long as the body draws breath." Alice Miller "Spirituality is natural goodness. God is not a person; God is a presence personified in us. Spirituality is not a thing; it is the atmosphere of God's Presence, goodness, truth, and beauty. The great spiritual geniuses, whether it was Moses, Buddha, Plato, Socrates, Jesus, or Emerson..... have taught man to look within himself to find God. There is a Power around you that knows and that understands all things. This Power works like the soil; it receives the seed of your thought and at once begins to operate upon it. It will receive whatever you give to it and will create for you and throw back at you whatever you think into it. Where the mind goes energy flows." Ernest Holmes "The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels. Everyone has his own imagination of God. It is best if everyone is left to his own imagination. Sound is the force of creation, the true whole. Music then, becomes the voice of the great cosmic oneness and therefore the optimal way to reach this final state of healing. Music is the language of the soul; and for two people of different nations to unite, there is no better means than music. One day, music will take its rightful place as the true religion of Mankind. I asked for strength, and God gave me difficulties to make me strong. I asked for wisdom, and God gave me problems to learn to solve. I asked for prosperity, and God gave me a brain and brawn to work. I asked for courage, and God gave me dangers to overcome. I asked for love, and God gave me people to help. I asked for favors, and God gave me opportunities. I received nothing I wanted. I received everything I needed." Hazrat Inayat Khan "If I could give you information of my life it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do in His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing. I have worked hard, very hard, that is all; and I have never refused God anything. The 'kingdom of heaven is within,' indeed, but we must also create one without, because we are intended to act upon our circumstances." Florence Nightingale "Nothing has ever been said about God that hasn’t already been said better by the wind in the pine trees. A life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all. No man can serve two masters. Your life is shaped by the end you live for." Thomas Merton 🌬💨🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲 "Every religion is the product of the conceptual mind attempting to describe the mystery."

You are never too old to learn. I totally agree.
Got that right. Live like a sponge and absorb as much information out of life. Keep on learning and teaching.
