you're a spiritual being having a human experience

About Me

hello. for the most part... im more silly than i am serious. im more intelligent than i am ignorant. i tend to be very positive. Introverted over extroverted. I'm not religious. i'm spiritual. complex and simple. very open minded and down to earth. im humble. i have high hopes for humanity, and i hope my short stay on this planet will in some way speed up the evolution of our species. for real, for human kind to wake up in so many ways. im not some self righteous bastard preaching or anything, i live and learn. history and it repeats itself, you know? i see where our society is heading and the affects it's having on the world as a whole. we are fighting too much, hating too much. we have become such a big threat, not only to ourselves, but all life on planet earth. WE ARE ALL SIBLINGS OF ONE BIG HUMAN FAMILY. You are my brother or sister. i see a future for us that is amazing. teach me something, ill teach you something. we can expand each others worlds. im all about it. lets break out of the cycle.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

"World Spirit is a prayer for the realization of our integration with the web of creation and for the transformation of our species from one gripped in fear and self annihilation to a species that stands for love wildly creative peace and liberation" (a poem by Alex Grey)We can all grow and learn from each other. Let’s evolve

Movies:

One of the biggest Secrets in life is knowing that there are no secrets.

Television:

this is the deepest into space we (humankind) have seen

Books:

i reccomend you read "Many Lives, Many Masters," by Brian L. Weiss. It's a great book. I think everyone should read it. "The Celestine Prophecy" is another amazing book. Read it and YOU WILL UNDERSTAND ME A LOT MORE. no point in making a whole list of books i've read. books are good :)

Heroes:

All the famous people we all know about, i admire them too. also heroes throughout history that were never famous or recognized. they are heroes too.
