About me, really:

Seems I have lived several different lives here. I have reinvented myself many times over the years… never being satisfied with the outcome. I have run the gamut… dope smoking hippie; aspiring yogi; laborer; business man; family man; computer nerd… in all that, I never could quite get the shoe to fit. Then, several years ago God granted me a relevation… or one could say I decided to finally LISTEN to what I was being told. I had prayed… to know who I was, what I was supposed to be doing, and how to turn life into LIFE.

The answer came shortly thereafter. I met my spiritual family, which is now known as the Living Love Fellowship. It was obvious upon the first meeting that these friends were my family. We had the big things in common… mostly the desire to be truly helpful and loving people, and to understand the crazy workings of our own minds that were keeping us from those possibilities.

I am not into religion, and I do not think myself all that spiritual. Mostly because I do not think about it. But when I see what people are doing in the name of spirituality, in the name of God, or in the name of their particular religion which is manipulative, power hungry, greedy, or just plain stupid, I realize that living really spiritually is not too common. Guess we are who we are no matter what we think about that.

I see that the world is now in a seriously tough jam. It will take a series of perfectly miraculous events to save this world and make it a place that can continue to support life, and even more to make it into a really cool place to be. As a group, and individually, me and my friends are doing what we can. Mostly, we're interested in helping toward (and adhering to ourselves) the development of sustainable levels of higher consciousness. Simply put, without higher levels of consciousness and the setting aside of our small interests and the influence of our ego-focused minds, even the most perfect system of sustainable living will deteriorate with time. This is certainly true of any kind of social arrangement or system, be it couples, communities, or nations.

 We're trying to get that message out in lots of different ways, mostly on the internet. I play a big part in the manifestation of that, because one of my main duties here is webmaster of our various websites Soul Progress, Faith Crisis, and the Living Love Fellowship's community website.

I also maintain all of the computers and systems we use for the production of our sites, and of the content. But I never feel I have done my best or that I have completed much of anything truly important, until I have really taken care of someone's heart, no matter what their practical needs may be.

So now, here I am on Zaadz, where I will do my best, when I can, to put my heart out there for all to see, as well as provide for any true heart that comes my way. I know God gave me a feeling heart to express and to give to His children, who all have the same heart that yearn to give. I also know that my spiritual family extends far beyond those I live with, to all of those who see that Love is truly the answer and healing ingredient to all of the worlds evils and sorrows. If it isn't the answer, then it isn't Love.

Blessings to you all, fellow Zaadsters!
