About Me

Everyday is a blessed one as I find myself inspired by and fortunate to know such gifted and enlightened souls exist and act in a similar fashion as I do for the benefit of humankind. I thrive on well-informed, energetic and enthusiastic conversations that act as a refreshing spark on what is often a daft and melancholy subject, namely the struggles of existence. The path of the soul is one that should provide as much joy in the aspiration of fulfilment as it does when success is achieved, and in turn, this fact must manifest itself in daily pleasures. I claim no great knowledge and although I am very much of Gnostic opinion and persuasion, I do hope that universal knowledge and truth are available to all and make it my task to ensure that this is the case. I recognize the necessity of choice in this function to disseminate knowledge and pray that the individual’s choice will always be for a life well spent and a soul well informed. I hope that I can provide you with as much energy as you need to feel rejuvenated and in the right place to continue your life long task. I wish you continued inspiration with your daily activities and look forward to many conversations on a variety of subjects and ideas. Truly, I benefit most from interaction with others and in an attempt to unify diversity and diversify ability I hope to offer myself to the ongoing discourse. Humanities relevance is humbling!

Thoughtful People!Take the quiz:
What kind of King are you?

Philosopher King
You are a philosopher king! thoughtful and wise, you believe that there is definately a right and wrong way of doing things, even if we don't know it yet, and you think that search is worthwhile. You are concerned not so much with democracy and liberalism/conservatism so much as doing the right thing independant of the majority's opinion and conventions. You have never existed in history, but are a goal that many hope to achieve, offering divine insight and wisdom unto subjects to create a utopic city-state. Ideally, that is.
