NativeSelfNation
Today a Nation is born.
Today we commence the path of reclaiming our birthright to live in the full expression of our native, indigenous Self regardless of the color of our skin or the ancestry of our parents.
From this day forward we declare our love and devotion for the Earth & Creator and we dedicate ourselves to expressing the More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible.
We will no longer be led by fear, trembling through life blinded by a sense of lack and insecurity around an imaginary tomorrow.
We are meant for far more.
We did not come here to pretend at being victims of life; the battered survivors of a brutal struggle.
Nor do we want to be the victors of Life; the champions, masters, and dominators of the world.
No! We are Life itself!
We can see that these bodies- and this earth from which they arose- are sacred vessels through which the divine expression of Life happens.
We are Vessels of Life. Sacred instruments of consciousness, of the Creator.
No more.
No less.
We humbly acknowledge that we do not live Life. Life lives us. Having realized this, we now choose to act accordingly and to honor that sacredness in all that we see.
We can see that all things in Creation have a purpose. We are ready to listen, receive, and surrender to ours.
We can see that true wealth & abundance isn't something to be owned, but rather something to be a part of. We are ready for a way of life that reflects the truth of our interconnectedness.
We can see that our indigenous brothers and sisters have done the world a noble service in preserving their traditions until we were ready to listen. Brothers & sisters...we don't want to steal your culture and traditions. But we do humbly ask for your help in recovering and remembering our own.
We, the undersigned, are ready to restore our world to it's Native State of love, joy and connection to Earth & Creator.
We are the ones we've been waiting for.
We are NativeSelfNation.
An open letter from NativeSelfNation founder Levi Darger:
Hi beautiful you.
Our attention is one of the most valuable things we have, so thank you for giving something so precious to the message behind this manifesto.
There is something else you have that is powerful, and that is your voice. There are people paying attention to what you say and (more importantly) what you do.
Did the Native Self Manifesto resonate with you? Is it the kind of world you are ready to help us create?
If so, here are three simple things I invite you to do right now to help this Tribal Renaissance Movement gain traction. It only takes a moment to help the message spread.
All we have to do is inspire enough people to see the possibility of something better. That will be enough to trigger an organic movement into the More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible.
But individuals don't start movements.
Tribes do.
Sending you my love and appreciation,
