CURRENT MISSION

To be of maximum service and love in every moment...

ABOUT ME

I've been a rock guitarist, lived in a couple of monasteries, graduated with a degree in Mandarin Chinese, lived in Taiwan for 18 months, and been on a few serious motorcycle road trips, survived wrecks that would have killed most people and lived to tell. I love music, motorcycles, reading, writing, and fitness. I LOVE the outdoors and anything adventurous (bungee jumping, spelunking, white water, skydiving, etc.) cooking and eating good food and having fun with friends. I enjoy any chance I get to go to the theater, live music or opera. If I had lots of money I would love to be an anonymous philanthropist, bettering the lives of others. My secret wish is to CS through Europe! I love this life and this world is a trip, I want to experience it in all its verities, seeking truth, love and laughter all along the way... Baraka Bashad, Shalom Aleichem, Namaste everyone!

PHILOSOPHY

We are that which we seek.
We are the eyes of God looking back at ourselves.
We contain a Divine Spark which seeks to merge with its origin. We are here to learn how to love perfectly and forgive absolutely and experience ourselves as God.
Tat Tvam Asi.
