How important is spirituality in your life?
My ancestors were very spiritual people from different ethnic groups. I have a type of paranoid schizophrenia and also Asperger syndrome. This is relevant to my spiritual side, just like my roots in different cultures.
My far-Southern (Agder)/Southwestern Norwegian (Rogaland) ancestors were very, very strongly conservative Lutheran Christians and form a outside regular (state) religion setting. They had some Reisende ancestry, a type of Norwegian/Central European/Traveller origin group travelling by sea in boats.
My Sámi, Kven and Finnish ethnicity ancestors were spiritual healers with unusual ability of healing powers. They could stop bleeds and cure chronic pains with rituals. The languages are one part that the State tried to stop us from using, the Norwegianization/Fornorskning policies. I want to see profound change in our society about acceptance of mixed culture, we all belong here.
But in me these influences come together and my own spirituality is different from my ancestors in some ways. I appreciate the beautiful nature around me and our unique Arctic regions phenomena like Midnight sun and even the total darkness of November, December and January months. Polar nights. Northern Lights; aurora borealis of the North ❤ ❤
I believe in being good toward my fellow human beings and all that lives of Earth. I believe in something greater than just our conscious minds and what many people believe is just the way it is. I see potential in myself and others, we can do so much better on Earth together when we don’t fight wars and exploit our environment.
