Who We are

Church of the Spiritual Path was organized in the United States on February of 1998 however its board of directors have been working for many years in the spiritual field in different countries working independently serving their communities as healers and spiritual councilors.  At a spiritual gathering on prophesies and world conditions held in Guatemala in 1995 they realized more could be done working together as an organization. The Church is now a non-profit organization with (501)(c)(3) recognition. All donations are of course 100% tax deductible.

It has become evident to me that we are more than we can come to know by our five senses.

We have been around for a long time and will be around for a long time more.

As an enlightened soul I have taken responsibility as a co-creator of the world we live in and I usually incarnate during interesting times like these.

I was born in the Southwest United States into the Pueblo de Las Cruces tribe in the Spring of 1949 and given the name Patricio my family name is Dominguez.

At the age of five I was presented in a public ceremony to the medicine men to be blessed as a man of spiritual knowledge.

My youth was spent in a small traditional community accumulating the spiritual knowledge that is necessary for life and I was cultured by the contact of not only my parents and Grandparents that lived in the community but I was fortunate enough to have a Great grandmothers influence until I was 13. My Great grandmothers specialty was healing with herbs and my grandmother healed by the power of touch now called Reki, Joray etc.. 

Like most of the Native Americans my age I learned two worldviews the philosophy and religion of the western man and the traditional metaphysical occult ways of the indigenous people.

In the spring of my life I was Married in the Native Tradition to a nice Navajo Lady. We have been blessed with two children and two
Great Grand Children.

I am one of the multi-colored corn people.  My maternal grandfather was from Osaka, Japan and my maternal grandmother was from New Mexico, descendent from the Piro nation as were my father’s people.  Before being colonized by the Spaniard, the Piro had always intermarried with other tribes in order to restore harmony among the peoples.  My maternal grandmother was also Apache and my paternal grandmother was Jemez and Isleta.  The Piro nation is now considered extinct because the language is gone.  The only Piro I know are a few words and prayers left me by my grandmother. 

Being raised with my Japanese (Shinto) grandfather and Indian grandmother taught me at an early age that being multicolored corn was good medicine and good teaching.  I had to learn to reconcile imposed differences and learn to balance all of who I am.  Many people still ask me, “Well, which one are you?  Are you Mexican, Indian, or Japanese?”  All I can say is that I am all of my ancestry.  Instead of the word “or” just say “and”, then you know me.  Much like the rainbow which is many colors and does not get “mixed-up” nor  have a need to be more one color than another.

My multiple heritage has positively influenced my academic and professional development.  In conjunction with earning a BA in clinical psychology and an MA in multicultural Counseling, for the past 14 years I have been involved in learning various indigenous healing ways.  I have also been a Reiki practitioner for 8 years and am currently working towards becoming a Reiki Master.

Although since childhood I have been called through dreams and visions to learn the ancient ways of helping people, I do not consider myself a healer.   I believe healing is a process that stems from our connections with the spiritual and natural.  But in a humble way, I think humans can help others to reconnect to the Great Spirit and Mother Earth in order to restore balance, harmony, and beauty. 

I began working with the Maya under the auspices of Erick Gonzales approximately five years ago.  The Maya brought me to great healing and transition in my life.  I began to accept my calling and my responsibilities to community.  With Erick I helped to coordinate the gatherings of various indigenous nations; Maya, Mexica, Cherokee, Nambe, Tesuque, Dine and others, in my home as well as at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.  I have also been fortunate to lead Talking Circle for women, and am currently working with counseling youth and families in the South Valley of Albuquerque. 

Although I think that I will always be learning, I feel that it is time for me to pay a debt to those teachers and aquiqs who have helped me in my humble path.  The Maya accepted me into their circle, their family and I only wish to give back in whatever capacity the Spirit designs for me.
