If it please you, Grandfather, speak to us about how we can keep our souls pure.
In these dark times, there is much danger around each one of us--physical, emotional, and spiritual. So many are being led astray and being deceived, and they don’t even realize it. But no one can touch our souls!
Then we might ask, “If this is true, then how can our souls be in danger?” The answer is that the dark forces cannot corrupt our souls, but they may be able to get us to do it to ourselves!
For example, the dark forces will get someone to hurt us in some way. Maybe our first inclination is to strike back–to hurt them for the pain they caused us.
Now, when someone hurts us, that has not corrupted our soul. However, if they can get us to strike back--desire to hurt them in return, then we put corruption into our own souls.
If the dark forces can get us to hate, then they have won--we will have turned away from Creator. Consequently, we realize that nobody can corrupt our souls, but we can choose to do it to ourselves by desiring to hurt someone, even if they hurt us first!
That is why unconditional love is so important–it will prevent us from trying to take revenge. Because, regardless of what someone does to us, we can still keep unconditional love in our own hearts for them. We don’t have to plant seeds of hate or negative energy into our own hearts, which would separate us from Creator. We can protect the purity of our own souls!
"How to Protect the Purity of Your Soul" is an excerpt from the book "Red Hat Speaks" by Dorothy K. Daigle, which shares with us many deep spiritual understandings of Cherokee elder, John Red Hat Duke, an esteemed spiritual leader, a "Grandfather" of the Cherokee people.
Dorothy was taught by Cherokee elder and wisdom keeper, John Red Hat Duke, for over ten years in the Keetoowah Cherokee spiritual ways, in Eastern philosophy, and in Judaism. She was raised Christian so she has a good working knowledge of Christianity. She now follows no religion but strives to walk the Red Road spiritual path. She received her call from Creator in the fall of '92, and was then taught by the great prophet Elijah for four years. She was given four assurances by Creator when He called her. She was told that she was anointed by the Holy One of Israel, that she would be protected until this work was done, that Creator would go before her whenever He sent her somewhere, and that she did not have to prove herself to anyone. She is Creator’s witness. She carries wisdom of many years of living under Creator's guidance and direction.
