MISSION To reach the ultimate state of consciousness. ABOUT ME I am characteristically peaceful, blissful, fearless and incisive. Right now I am transitioning. My favorite spiritual teachers are the Buddha, Jesus, Krishna and Dr. David R. Hawkins. I study a lot of their material. I was born Catholic. I started my journey at a very low state of consciousness with many nightmares. It was not pleasant. I then progressed until I had a powerful spiritual conversion to Evangelical Christianity in seventh grade which changed my life and then yet another powerful spiritual conversion to Buddhism in college. PHILOSOPHY My philosophy of life is to do my dharma, abiding always by the Divine Order: Virtue before prosperity, prosperity before pleasure, and enlightenment as the ultimate goal. To do this, I cultivate loving kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity. That in turn can lead to very high states of consciousness like sat-chit-ananda, or "love, knowingness and bliss."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING

When I was Catholic, I was very religious, observant and respectful of the Church. When I converted to Evangelicalism, I was restored and born anew and became very passionate about God. My devotion increased tremendously. When I got to college, I hit a state of happiness and then progressed into a state of Joy/Unconditional Love and finally bliss (satchitananda). I have now been visiting my spiritual teacher in Sedona, David Hawkins, for three years. He just retired from his public life, which is to me very sad. He was a great teacher and I loved him very much. I'm planning on going back to the world to teach what I've learned and bless others as I have been blessed.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very positive, I have to say. I'm staying with Jon Kerchner at the moment. He and his roommates are very fun and cool people.

Interests

Particularly things of a spiritual or intellectual nature. To be concise, mysticism, philosophy and Nature. Volunteering, healing and medicine are also main interest. Music is also of particular interest because it is a form of devotion and communion with God and also a source of healing to others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Achieving an IQ of 210. Discovering the Presence of God. I experienced the Presence of God as if it had always been there my entire life and would always be there forevermore, and that I had merely not realized it was there all the time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a wounded healer and a spiritual teacher. I am also highly educated and very intelligent. I have respectable experiential and practical knowledge in the fields of spiritual evolution, health, healing and holistic medicine, music and investing. I learned to play by ear the piano with very little classical training. I have also played at very high levels of consciousness which makes the music seem otherworldly. This is a spontaneous phenomenon which cannot be achieved via the personal will, but which has been attested to by others.
