In my heart theres a garden where a tree of life grows whose fruit will nourish my soul when I am hungry and whose leaves will provide me shelter when I am old."

I am a gardener of spirit planting seeds that will bear fruit long after I have left this mortal coil. The mystery of life is such that I am inspired to connect with my soul in a dance of timeless truths and sacred visions. It is my desire to live with simple dignity while creating harmony and peace. Know that I acknowledge my evolutionary journey and in doing so accept the responsibility of expanding spiritual consciousness and embracing self acceptance. For before one can heal the planet they must first seek to heal themselves.

I am having troubles these days understanding humankind. Watching the news is a torturous experience as the inhumanity is heartbreaking. However while the reality of the world we live in is depressing it has not broken my spirit. Mine is a spirit that seeks out the divine in all things. It is those people who triumph over oppression , who rise above hatred , who stand tall and proud in the face of adversity that inspire me. Blessed are those who reach out to their fellow man with not only open heart but open mind and spirit.

I will not accept ignorance , intolerance , racism , sexism , homophobia or any belief that diminishes and debases. Mine is an inclusive existence that celebrates diversity and embraces cultural differences. I have always coloured outside the lines for to do so is to not only be authentic but to be free. We must as a people realize the oneness of humanity and seek to facilitate freedom for all. We must create nurturing environments that respect peoples unique essence and individual gifts. We do not own this planet , we must stop acting like landlords and start acting like stewards of the earth thereby acknowledging the awesome responsibility we have to protect and preserve its natural beauty.

The fertile spiritual landscape of my mind is a wellspring of wisdom seeking those who would benefit most from its teachings. Let us not wallow in self pity but instead immerse ourselves in sacred knowledge. To know the divine is to know the self. If we treat our fellow man as family and show them love and respect we can begin the healing process. I have grown weary of abusive people who have no regard for human life , I have grown tired of corporations that disregard the basic laws of nature and put personal gain above sanctity of life , I can no longer accept those that would sit in silence while others suffer. We all have the ability to facilitate change. We must speak for those who have no voice for they are us and we are them.

The awesome potential of humankind is evident in the eyes of our children. Innocence is something to be nurtured and nourished. Innocence is what we all were before we became infected with the disease of ignorance. Healing is simple for the vaccine is knowledge , wisdom , truth and love. The ultimate liberation of spirit will occur when we realize that holy war is an oxymoron , that no matter what God you believe in it is not a God of war. Make no mistake - war is the evil that men do - we must make a conscious effort to create better men. It is also important that we realize the importance of the feminine spirit and honour the woman of sacred mother earth. To empower women is to free ones soul from patriarchal abuse. Equality must be a reality that we foster with every breath and encourage with every thought.

Let us all say a healing prayer for sacred mother earth. Let the music of our life be a symphony that leaves our spirits dancing. If we celebrate our existence instead of arguing over it we can foster connectedness and create a lasting peace. Know that we are all spiritual beings and that our footsteps join together when we walk in peace. Honour your spiritual wisdom and embrace your essential self and you will awaken to a life of blossoming divinity. Journey into the light while embracing life to its fullest and let the singing of your heart serenade all humankind with a song of whispered endearments and undying love.

The purpose of creation is a harmonious and peaceful life for all . With that in mind I seek a path to flourishing where I may voice my wisdom and express my creativity in a way that benefits the planet and its inhabitants.The substance of my being is such that I am compelled to focus on a path of light that I may make a spirited contribution to sacred mother earth that engages the heart and embodies the divine. To all who read this I say let the healing begin. Say no to anger , say not to hatred , say no to ignorance and say yes to diversity , dignity , integrity and love. Create your own reality by manifesting the coming of a new dawn where all will live together in the womb of mother earth.

I am living mindfully and embracing the full spectrum of humanity. My journey has included a childhood surrounded by alcoholism , an adolescence where the seeds of depression were planted , homelessness , psychological trauma and more. I have seen far more death than I would have ever imagined and yet I am truly blessed for I have my wife , my friends my family and all those whose paths I cross in cyberspace. I am rich of spirit. If there is a point in this meandering soul expression it is that there is something beyond our reach , something that transcends death , something that defies logic yet is innate and that is the essence of our being. It is that essence that gives us strength and courage , it is that essence which inspires imagination , it is that essence which can and will manifest a heaven here on earth if we allow it.

I am sending out all the positive energy and love that is in my soul to all who read this that they may discover their purpose and manifest the life of their dreams.

In these difficult times its important that we understand what our journey is about. We are all on a journey of the soul and with that must come a reverence for life. It is those without reverence whose ignorance and lack of understanding create the havoc we see around the world today. For the planet to survive we must seek to change peoples paradigms one soul at a time.

The inner garment of our soul is one of inspiration and imagination. It is crucial that we use that garment to embrace humankind in lovingkindness. Discover yourself and allow your radiant essence and spiritual wellbeing to permeate the souls of those lost and adrift. We are gardeners of spirit and it is to the benefit of all if we plant seeds of benevolence , diversity , peace and freedom.

To live a life of intentional purpose is to attain spiritual freedom and harness the power within. Materialize your dreams and use your innate abilities to facilitate change. We can all be spiritual revolutionaries seeking soul touching encounters and embracing the wisdom within. Our earth walk is one of profound universal connections in which we should strive to encourage mindfulness and blaze a trail of unique and inspired consciousness that can and will lead us all to a new humanity . Unleash your natural power , uplift the downhearted and seek a balanced state of mind so as to create a nurturing environment for all living things.

The energy of the universe is within each and every one of us. If we widen our circle of compassion and allow the light of wisdom to envelope us mind , body and spirit - we can then uplift consciousness , live together in peace and harmony and celebrate the beauty of sacred mother earth. Express your freedom by seeking to liberate those who are oppressed. Dedicate your thoughts to evoking profound rejuvenation of spirit. The lightness of your being is such that you have the inner resources and ability to give wing to creativity thereby inspiring celestial awakening.

To be a spiritual revolutionary is to foster connectedness , create lasting peace and manifest higher consciousness. Reawaken your spirit and let the flowering of ancestral wisdom guide you to meet the master within and connect to your souls wisdom. The altar of the soul is such that we can inwardly pray for positive change while outwardly seeking to embrace the sweetness of life and invoke divine energy. Reverence for life is to honour the dignity of all living things.

We are living an angelic existence , let our wings not be broken by bullies of spirit , let our halos not be tarnished by terrorists of soul , let us instead rise up in solidarity and diversity as brothers and sisters of light in celebration of the beauty that is humankind . Connect more deeply with yourself and you will develop global transformation and manifest new perspectives and enlightenment. Having walked through the darkness I now live an inspired life that empowers the human spirit and embraces my own divinity.

The bird of peace in within us , let it soar with the angels in diversity light and beauty. If you have reverence for life you will attain your birthright to happiness. If you are a spiritual revolutionary you will discover your souls beauty and experience deep joy. Mine is a souls journey of reverence and revolution. I am a magnificent being of light moving joyfully with the moon in a dance of metaphysical awareness and sacred introspection. Know that each and every one of you are in my thoughts and prayers and that every soul is a flower in lifes garden.

I honour , respect and celebrate the beauty of who you are.

I Love You!



Yours in Salvation and Liberation

The Ancient One

Courage is an expression of the voice of ones soul. In the summer of 96 after having lost everything in a failed business venture I left town with but the clothes on my back and lived on the streets for a few months. However I refused to let my situation define me. I am more that the sum of my struggles , I am the creator of my personal destiny.

I remember being approached on the street by someone from the town I had left to come to my new street dwellings. She asked me If I would talk to her teenage daughter should I came back to town. Not knowing my situation she looked at me and said " You look at Peace , Things must be going so well for you!" The reason I looked that way was because even when we are down in life we can hold our heads high.

Courage is not measured by battles won but by souls touched. Even while living on the street surrounded by strangers people would seek me out for advice and counsel. Truth is beautiful and to that end I sought to engage spirits and plant seeds of positivity. Knowledge is your right and I learned from my experiences and used that wisdom to enrich , enlighten and educate. Mine is a journey of healing and awakening.

Twelve years later I can look back at my path of independence and see my time on the streets not as a burden but as a tool for transformation. I chose to live with a lifted spirit and seek higher states of being. We all have a contribution to make to the world. Dreams come alive when you live with courage and lead by example. The heart of the human spirit is a nurturing ocean of light.

We must be active participants in our own evolution. Courage is a choice . By choosing courage we manifest our fullest potential and contribute to the health of humankind. I am an active creator in my life and the many obstacles I have faced are but experiences that encourage inspiration and expand awareness. I have faced the trials and tribulations presented me as empowering and thereby illuminating.

Conscious Courage is the ability to choose to be a facilitator not a victim , a nurturer not a perpetrator , a beacon of light not a shadow of conspiracy. Conscious Communication expresses the essential you and allows you to be an agent of positive change. Whether I was living on the street , struggling in the face of my parents alcoholism , battling depression or simply surviving , I have evoked my highest self and acknowledged the miracle of being.

Choose Courage and discover the Beauty of who you are!
