Stand As One: Spiritual Teachings of Keetoowah

Original Truths are the foundation upon which Crosslin Smith has lived his life. These truths are what Crosslin wants to share. In his words, "It is time for all to know." These truths are guideposts in helping those who want to experience health, inner peace and peace among all people. This knowledge being shared is a message for all humankind regardless of race, color or creed.

This message and the messenger originate from the Keetoowah Society, the traditional spiritual society within the Cherokee tribe, Today, Crosslin Smith - a traditional Keetoowah elder, practitioner and counselor - publicly acknowledges, for the first time, the richness of his Cherokee heritage. Yet he clearly stresses the lessons and teachings contained within the Original Truths are no longer the sole ownership of the Keetoowahs or the Cherokees. They are, and always were, universal truths.

We can no longer afford to support separation among people, separation within the self, or separation from our past and our future. Externally, internally, and spiritually, it is time to Stand As One. Crosslin invites us all to absorb the lessons illuminated by these stories to awaken the spirit living within each one of us so that we can experience and nurture our oneness with all humanity. This message from the past has found it moment in the present.
