About My Writing
My articles about metaphysics revolve mostly around the following themes: Shamanism, Theosophy, feng shui, Vedic philosophy, Christian mysticism, and esoteric cosmology. This might seem like a diverse range of subjects, but my conviction is that there is an underlying truth that ties all these esoteric systems together. My aim is to uncover such a truth.
The Mystical Eye
Much of the evidence presented in these articles was taken from my personal experiences. As such, it represents an impressionistic account of the subtle energy universe. We all see the world through the filter of our own energy field. Unless we are born highly aware, it takes some training to keep our hearts pure and our minds receptive. The fact that I have meditated for over 30 years has helped to open my mystical eye, stretching my awareness beyond worldly forms and phenomena.
My Invitation
My presentation in these articles is meant as both invitation and inspiration. If you have not already, I invite you to initiate your own investigations about the metaphysical realities I describe. As your perceptions become more finely honed, your vision of reality will change as well, but it will always remain your unique vision, as mine is unique.
