A Message to the People of Planet Earth

A Message to the People of Planet Earth I have spent the last 7 years of my life on a quest. A quest to ask some really big questions about myself, life, this world, the universe, and existence. A quest for truth. I came to the realization that if one abandons all identification with their beliefs and viewpoints (which are all simply stories – perceptual spectacles – with which we […]

An Avenue of Gratitude

An Avenue of Gratitude Over the past few months I have been studying, experimenting, and storytelling about the best ways in which to align oneself with the spirit of the gift.

What Happened to my Education?

What Happened to My Education?

I want to emphasize that from my own personal, direct experience, this idea is so obvious to […]
