Send to KindleI am both honored and burdened by the moniker of Torchbearer. Any name given by spirit is an honor. Having a direction handed to you, is an honor. The burden really comes from defining your community. You see, a Shaman cannot exist without a community to support. I have chosen my little congregation in the middle of small-town Michigan; however, it is becoming more and more clear to me that my community is everywhere I can reach from my keyboard. As I am a programmer, I am reasonably tech-savvy, and I can connect to people all over the world. The Internet appears to be the community my path leads me to. (yeah, no pressure at all, heh?)
How could I possibly reach out to this huge community when I cannot shape the conversation as I normally would?
Oddly enough, as that fear comes out, in question form, I see several truths in it.
I need to see my personal fear as it comes out.
I need to accept that I have never truly had control.
I need to acknowledge that I know the answer to this question.
Be true, be honest, most importantly with yourself. Don’t be afraid to show the true you. And those in need, will find you.
With that said, I would like to declare my intention to the Internet Community.
A Torchbearer is someone who guides you from the place of darkness to the beginning of your path. My goal is to help you find where you need to be.
I am available to people who find that they have gifts and either;
Don’t know what to do with them,
Don’t know where to go from here,
Are scared to experience the gifts,
Or see these gifts as being in conflict with their faith.
Please reach out to me. If this is you, it is my task to help.
