About

I have learned that removing oneself from their experience in order to find an objective quality to reality is a challenge indeed. It seems that as awareness increases with humility and reverence, so does confidence and knowing. The paradox is in the battle of heart and mind. Life in the subtle frames of spinning chakras and acquiescence to the Divine has many trials and tribulations. Engaging the Divine Flow in my life, through the eternal yet transient, has filled my life with experiences of deep love and truth.

My personal influences in the interpretations of the living awareness process have been folks from many professions - Bibliography. Experience, on the other hand, leads me to say that had I not the direct experience of some phenomenal things, up close and personal, I'd be REAL reluctant to believe some or maybe all of the writings I've compiled here. Suffice it that you don't believe a thing.... Another's experience doesn't matter anyway. It is your own that counts as it is made personal, real and true. Ponder the possibilities of synchronistic serendipity leading your personal experience of daily living.

Buried deep within us, behind all of the internal dialog and mental chatter, is the Voice of the Soul. It has long been said that 'in the depths of silence is the Voice of Being.' It is the same in my experience. All principle processes (self-awareness and actualization) are the same for everyone, even though the individual expressions of Divinity, your True Self, are as different as individual snowflakes. We all have passions for a purpose much greater than we currently serve (except in rare instances), yet we allow ourselves to be locking into the safety and security of worldly endeavors, i.e., a career or job, that are only partially fulfilling while 'paying the bills.' Trials and tribulations in the travails can be transcended through faith, trust and allowing change in our lives.
