About Me

The name's Jon. I'm originally form Cali, I moved to Portland in September, and I love it up here. It's been quite a journey living on my own for the first time in my life in a new city away from home, but I think I'm coping rather well.
As you may be able to tell from my profile, spirituality is important to me. I consider myself a Gnostic Christian, and have great respect and admiration for mysticism in all its forms. I've been studying the Kabbalah, and find it fascinating. You may have also noticed that I'm into psychedelics. For me, these substances are sacred. They have brought about a spiritual awakening in me, and have helped shape me into the man I am today.

My Interests

Spirituality, Mysticism, Gnosticism, Kabbalah, Meditation, Mind Expansion, Guitar, Raves, Concerts, TV, The Shroomery, Philosophy, Politics, Beer, Marijuana, Ecstacy, Psychedelics, Piercings, Tattoos

I'd like to meet:

People who are intelligent, open-minded, and are into deep, philosophical conversations and mind-expansion.
