Hello everyone,
I'm a 33 yr old dude from sunny Southern California. Over the years, my identifications took the form of words like "Borderline (Personality Disorder)", "eternal loner", "outcast", "fitness junkie", "alien", etc, ... today, I hold onto two ego-based identifications - 1 ... idealist, and 2 ... non-conformist. If I had to describe myself as a person, those two would be the most descriptive.
I cannot begin to put into adequate words, what the teachings of this wise man have done for me. It all started with picking up "The Power of Now" at a Barnes and Noble about a year ago, and what a fascinating journey of realization it has been ! By now, I've seen him live once (L.A.) and have listened to almost every one of his audiobooks.
I didn't undergo a radical transformation of consciousness like ET himself, but merely a slow and gradual stripping away of illusions that caused suffering on a scale hard to imagine, much less describe. A large part of that disillusionment was triggered by unemployment.
I am so glad there is such a well-established community of people who are interested in growth and spirituality ... it warms my heart.
I look forward to exchanging thoughts and ideas with you all and being a part of your journeys. Thanks for reading this intro !
