Why things are going very well, actually

This morning I woke up to find a whole bunch of really tragic news stories on my Google News reader app. I’ve never really had much interest in perusing anything but the headlines, occasionally reading an article or two here and there depending on whether there was something beautiful about…

Truth

When I had my motorcycle accident, everything suddenly changed. I’ve written about my spiritual healing that began in the desert, when I was overwhelmed with happiness and in a state of bliss for weeks. After I came back from the desert, I’d been slowly transforming over the last 7.5 years…

Expression

Birds tweet in the distance as a strumming electronic guitar slowly fades in. A keyboard starts to play a melodic riff, repeating it over and over, setting up a foundation. A sweeter sounding melody now starts to setup a tempo for the whole track. A minute later a drum, presumably…

Manifesto

A war is raging in Ukraine, where apparently Russian forces are wiping out military personnel as well as civilians with barbaric imprecision. There is an energy ‘crisis’, as gas prices are rising or falling depending on the whims and fancies of people who control these flows. Violent crime is on…

My Birthday Present To Y’All :)

Most people want someone else to give them a present on their birthday, but I am the opposite. After all, I am celebrating — it’s me that should share, not the other way round, right? This is my way :) So I am going to share with you my life…

The path is narrower, the goal is higher

Things have changed. Now you must all become the power of love, a step higher than love itself. I came to give you this news. For a very long time, humanity was in the clutches of the animal within. And then it began to evolve, follow laws. It tried to…

Scene at a McDonald’s

As I finish setting up my order on the kiosk, I realized that they have no pagers for me to pickup, meaning I have to go to the counter to order. I look around. A man’s hanging out next to me. He’s disheveled, seems to be going through a rough…

How to rise

Now that my spiritual service has ended, I am free to create, once again! It’s been a very long time coming. I’ve waited all life long to begin creating something of value — beauty! Why is that valuable? It just is. …

New day, new tack

I’ve been writing non-stop about the spiritual journey, but I am done with that now. I’ve been released from service spiritually, mentally, psychologically and sexually (yes I was serving women in that capacity as well!). Now I get to be my own person, which is something I can’t imagine you…

Pain

I’ve written a bit about pain before, but never in-depth, because pain has so many dimensions of usefulness that it’s impossible to encompass it all into a single post and call it done. My experience of life has been incredibly difficult, painful at times to the point where I was…
