White Buffalo Calf Woman Podcast Transcripts

If you are looking for a religion or spiritual practice in life, try to find one that fits you. Many of us were born into families that have religious beliefs that just don't sit right with us and it is okay to walk away from it and explore other options that are more suited to us. I was raised Christian but had a hard time believing in 'God'. It didn't make sense to me. I went to the library and researched and read about different religions until I found one that matched the beliefs I had already. You see I have always believed in re-incarnation, although I was never taught about it. I brought this imprinting with me from past lives.

  Why are you alive? What are you doing here? What is your purpose? These are all questions we have asked ourselves from time to time. Some of us have taken the time to search until we found satisfactory answers. Some of us just followed what others were doing because they seemed to know, without truly discovering it for ourselves. Some of us just shrugged our shoulders and carried on with life without knowing or bothering to find out anything. Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance actually creates a great deal of harm. You won't find a complete and total explanation for your life in this one podcast. Things are far more complicated, vast and deep than you may realize and it takes time to discover all of it.

Well, you are here to make progress on your spiritual path. We all are. Whether you ar...
