About My Writing
My articles about spirituality revolve mostly around the following themes: spiritual philosophy & growth, meditation, hatha yoga, and the spiritual lifestyle. I try to present my articles in very practical ways, so that anyone can relate to them. In a way, these articles represent a marriage of Eastern and Western thought. I feel like I am well placed to provide a bridge between these two systems.
My Inspiration
The content of my spiritual writing was taken mostly from my personal experiences. Some of the information was revealed to me during meditation, as well as through direct contact with an enlightened teacher, whom I stayed with in India. The fact that I have meditated for over 30 years has certainly opened my “spiritual eye” and has allowed me to appreciate a more subtle representation of reality.
Beyond the Mundane
If, in reading any of these articles, I have inspired anyone to investigate their spirituality in a deeper way then I am grateful for the opportunity. I believe that our aim in life is to go beyond a flat or mundane consciousness. That leap requires that we transcend our human nature, and come to know that we are divine beings.
