About Me

I am an observer of Reality who is latticed to all forms of consciousness; from the individual atom to the Ultimate Observer. My four layer bio-body suit is the nameless observer's perch in Reality. It's senses interpenetrate the wonders of our amazing universe, fulfilling the Unknowable Truth by it's very act of Being. My body's movement through perceived Reality has provided Experience that has enriched my consciousness and has joyfully shaped this special human journey through miraculous Life.
