This site is for individuals eager – even desperate – to toss off the yoke of the old life, the old ways of thinking about and doing things. Maybe you’re tired of being anxious and unhappy or lonely and listless.

Doesn’t really matter why. You just need to bring an open mind and a hunger for Truth with a capital T. Because you recognize human truths are like two-legged stools, unstable and doomed to be overturned. You’re ready for something more, something lasting and meaningful.

What I can tell you: this journey is 100% worth it. In fact, looking back my life had no meaning – even with two kids I love and adore – until I embarked on this quest.

But you’ll need to discover this for yourself. Remember the old saw about life being about the journey and not the destination? Welcome to THAT journey.

A Few Words About Yours Truly

The first 40+ years of my life were, at best, chaotic and, at worst, miserable. But on the cusp of 43, that trajectory changed. Mentally and physically shot, a life of wreckage strewn behind me, I decided to rewrite the entire script. Or die trying (that’s not an exaggeration).

Thus began a nearly 20-year journey immersed in just about every kind of self-help, inner-development, healing, and downright woo-woo exercise you can imagine (and maybe some you can’t).

A funny thing happened while I was busy running around the world looking for myself: the real me started to make itself known.

It was a gradual, unpredictable metamorphosis – often characterized by one step forward and three back. Along the way some good things started to happen – what the Christians among us might call ‘the added things.’

The pace of looking ‘out there’ started to slow and then altogether stopped. What became increasingly clear was that genuine change was only possible within.

I found myself led, again and again, to the writings and recordings of teachers whose words resonated with something deep inside me. The books and magazines that once occupied my life ceased to matter. I became consumed with the idea of inner growth, of spiritual pursuits, of finding God and the Truth of what I am.

What You Will – and Won’t – Find Here

Shortly after I embarked on my initial journey, I started a blog I’ve since ended. The goal then was to share snippets of my journey along with random thoughts and insights.

It was almost entirely ego occasionally interspersed with what I might call genuine glimpses of Truth (translation: rare moments when I became the vehicle for rather than the author of the message).

What you’ll find here, I hope, is raw honesty along with – hopefully – a taste of the great joy I often experience on this journey.

What you won’t find here is a guru. I’ve still got my share of anxieties and human failings. They’re nothing like agonies I suffered for most of my life – but I’m still very much on this journey.

You also won’t find my worrying about the word I use. If you’re easily triggered by your mental baggage around labels like ‘God’ or ‘spirituality,’ this site isn’t for you.

I’m doing my best to aggregate a collection of resources that may be of help to those who, like me, are looking for a liberating truth. For obvious reasons, most of these resources have been of use to me – I’m simply sharing what’s worked here or at least helped.

The one difference is the directory. While my goal is to interview if not personally visit organizations dedicated to facilitating inner growth, at least initially I’m going to lean on our friend, the Internet. Translation: do your own research when it comes to organizations found in this directory.
