OF THE
TIMES
Born in Toronto, Canada, I am a Dual US and Canadian citizen. My Grandfather was from Lisnaskea Ireland
I protested the Vietnam War in High School and then in peace time - other than it still being during the cold war - I joined the US Navy at 32 years old.
I have a BS in Psychology from the University of Idaho 1995.
I was raised an Episcopalian and bailed that when I was in High School In 1971, I joined a new age religion called Eckankar, founded by Paul Twitchell. I followed "ECK" for twenty years. I learned a lot about myself, people and how egos and organizations can morph. I read about, mainly, Eastern religious precepts concerning consciousness.
I eventually grew out of Eckankar and came to realize that it was based on a lie; mainly, Paul Twitchell's lie of Eckankar's origins. I came to accept the fact that Paul Twitchell was a pathological liar and plagiarizer. Over all, I think I was able to benefit from my years spent as an initiate in Eckankar; since after all, Paul Twitchell had borrowed from a lot of other authentic spiritual teachings. I left Eckankar in 1993 as a 6th initiate.
Was I hurt by this path, or helped? Perhaps I will find out in my life review, but I do think that I grew spiritually from it and made spiritual dollars.
I currently live In Missoula, MT
I am Spiritual but I am not religious.
I believe the source of why we are here - and exist - is to learn and express unconditional Love in greater and greater degrees, as we grow and are able to handle the greater Love current.
Thanks for all of your work, this site and for your crew on SOTT talk radio!
Today as never before we need to comprehend the course, logic, and path of the process of history. Every day we need to make decisions that will affect future generations. It has become obvious that no single nation, confession, social class or even civilization can solve these problems on its own. We increasingly have to listen to one another: Europe and Asia, Christians and Muslims, White and Black peoples, citizens of modern democratic states and places where traditional society survives. The key is to understand one another correctly, avoid hasty conclusions, and acquire the true spirit of tolerance and respect toward those with different value systems, habits, and norms.
