Love is a yearning
Of the One
For the One. ~ Sri Aurobindo
"Longing is the core of mystery. Longing itself brings the cure. The only rule is, suffer the pain. Your desire must be disciplined, and what you want to happen in time, sacrificed." ~ Rumi
"Only when a person completely and honestly accepts the inevitability of death is he free from the fear of it."
- Drizzt Do'Urden
"We have returned from the Lesser form of Warfare, on the battlefield, to the Greater form of Warfare, the Warfare against Earthly Attachment and the Gravity of the Ego." -- from one of the lineage of Prophets, the Messenger Muhammad, peace and blessings of God be on him
When I first began to love God
I thought I'd fallen in the ocean
But I was only on the beach
then I entered the water
and was thrown back on shore
And then washed again into the waves
God, why did I want this love?
And what is this back-and-forth?
-- Hafiz
How shall we seek real knowledge? By renouncing knowledge. How shall we seek salvation? By renouncing our own salvation. How shall we seek Existence? By renouncing our existence. ~ Rumi
It is attainment we want and not just a new whirl of activity.
It is attainment we want and not just titles, accolades and anathemas.
It is attainment we want and not diplomas, charters, and death certificates. ~ Shri Gurudev Mahendranath (1989)
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now! ~ Goethe
I'm a Yoga practitioner and Yoga teacher with a focus on both Kundalini and Astanga yogas. I also deeply study Hermetics and the Western Mystery Tradition, which includes Qabalah, Tarot, and Shamanic Astrology. I consider these subject areas to be the main focus of my life. These modalities offer a greater understanding of life's purpose and my role within it.
I love my body and have finally come to a point where health and building it to reflect how I feel about myself are also main focuses in life. I use yoga and resistance training, as well as good diet and the Amazon Herb Bioenergetic products to accomplish this end.
I believe each human being has an innate desire to reach out and understand their purpose for being, which translates to an innate NEED to "get high", or transcend current unsatisfactory beliefs and non-functional paradigms. Living in a culture today where this need is frowned upon has led many of whom I consider "my people" down a road of abuse through drugs and other self-destructive behaviors, forgetting all together the initial purpose of "finding truth and meaning". Now we are at a point where "getting high" is still vital, however there are other ways to accomplish this end that SUPPORT the growth of Self rather than destroy it, such as: Yoga, Meditation, Dance, Amazon Herbs, conscious Sexuality, true Partnership, Hermetics, etc.
It is my desire to liberate myself from my own bonds that I may kick down experience in a way that is comprehensible to those who WANT it so those individuals may have the opportunity to liberate themselves through self understanding. It's also my desire to have people in my life that love me, support me, and understand me that they too may give me the advice and support I may need in the moment to continue on my path.
I am blessed with many good memories and knowing many, many good people. These memories and people I consider to be part of me, of which I intend to carry with me on my journey. If you've been part of my life in any shape or form, I thank you. No longer do I loose myself in reverie, I carry those that I Love in the present moment of my Heart, to Infinity and Beyond!
All in all, I love: Good Friendship, Good Music, Good Dancing, Good Food, Good People, Good Books, Good Times.

"Light, Life, Love; Force, Fantasy, Fire; these do I bring you: mine hands are full of these. There is joy in the setting-out; there is joy in the journey; there is joy in the goal. Only if ye are sorrowful, or weary, or angry, or discomforted; then ye may know that ye have lost the golden thread." -- Anonymous
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." --- Frank Herbert, Dune - Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear
"There are good Golden Dawners and bad Golden Dawners; there are good Thelemics and bad Thelemics; there are good Christians and bad Christians; and there are good Kabbalists and bad Kabbalists. That is the way of the world that we live in. Some people start cults, others dont. Some people join cults, others dont. That too is the way of our world." -- Morgan Drake Eckstein
You are the Sun card. The light of the Sun reveals all. The Sun is joyful and bright, without fear or reservation. The childish nature of the Sun allows you to play and feel free. Exploration can truly take place in the light of day when nothing is hidden. The Sun's rays fill you with energy so that you may live life to its fullest, milking pleasure out of each day. Such joy and energy can bring wealth and physical pleasure. To shine in the light of day is to have confidence, to soak up its rays is to feel the freedom of a child.
