About Me

Author, mystic and lover of life.I believe it is enough to simply BE.But if more detail is needed, then my intentions are:- transcending identity and knowing the true Self as enlightenment - being a channel of infinite love - being a channel of Wisdom - being a channel of healing - being a channel of abundance - being devoted and inspiring in all the works of life.

My Interests

Life, mysticism, enlightenment, chi kung and tai chi, 'Five Tibetans', music, spirituality at work, reading and writing (Joseph Cash novel 'Beyond Identity' available in download and in printed version on www.lulu.com)
