“I’m a spiritual rogue. I went to seminary and really began to study and question western Christianity and all the rules and regulations. When I took the boundaries off my spirituality and who God was and could be, that’s when I began to have those new and exciting encounters.”
“If you want to pull an oracle card, while you’re reading the Bible, while burning palo santo and chanting in tongues, feel free! It doesn’t matter because at the end of the day, you have a soul, you have a divine identity , and should you get spiritually out of pocket, you’ll be corrected.”
“Western christianity attempts to rob people of their indigenous belief systems, from shamans and medicine men. You’re going over with these preconceived notions that they’re savages. Why are they savages, cause they like herbs?”
“The thing that seems so threatening and dangerous to western Christianity, at least in the way that I’ve experienced it, is that you might find some answers on your own.”
