Introduction to my blog

I come to my deeply held beliefs through a combination of the following:

• Material related to spirituality, psychology, and humanity, including nonfiction books, literature and novels, movies, television programs, and all varieties of media.
• Religious, spiritual, and metaphysical texts.
• Teachings from enlightened masters.
• Intellectual contemplation and meditation.
• Personal experience.

I think it is unwise to believe something just because someone says it is so. To be a student of Life, one must try out various theories and taste the fruit they bear. Quiet contemplation and inner processing are essential for synthesizing the ideas that come forth. Personal experiments are most effective when students are aware of their biases and motivations and can mediate them as needed. Everything must be taken with a grain of salt, even our own insistence on impartiality.

I am always harboring a certain theory on life or love and putting them into practice in my own experience. There is no need to accept my comments here as Truth simply by reading them. Test out my ideas in your own life if you feel somehow interested and see how they play out. We all have different methods, strategies, and abiding visions that take us through this life. Perhaps my ideas will spur new thinking of your own. Life is about creativity and building upward and outward, constantly expanding our wholeness to become even larger and greater.
