CONFESSION
Okay. I have to get something off my chest.
I believe in reincarnation.
I also believe we come here to this human life to evolve our spirit.
I think it's possible to evolve enough to not have to come back here, to this human life.
For the past eleven years I have been involved in this process of evolution. There have been periods of seriously slow going. There have been sudden leaps where I made great progress. There has been a lot of crazy shit.
But before I get into all of that, though, let me say that I think blogging is inherently sort of narcissistic. Like, who really cares what I have to say? I am not trying to be self-deprecating, but come on. I am one of billions of people on this planet. My little opinions on things do not really matter. This is part of why I don't really participate in social media. We have all become so self-obsessed. MYSELF INCLUDED. I am not placing myself above this. OKAY?
Soooo... if this is my belief, why would I bother to write?
Well, because maybe someone will find this and be encouraged by it. Maybe it will be the truth for which someone is searching. Also, my cousin really enjoys reading my posts. And I love him. So Sam, this is for you.
The rest is up to God.
BACK to this evolution.
In 2007, too depressed to graduate from college on time, I started my journey of waking up. This began through the process of psychotherapy. I was referred to a psychologist by my aunt, who said that this therapist she'd found was amazing.
Well, this therapist changed my life. She has helped me heal beyond my expectations. She is more than a therapist to me. She is a teacher.
Since then I have been insatiable. Always searching, learning, trying to discover the Truth. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ALL ABOUT? was my main question. Along with WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS LIFE? IS THERE A GOD? DOES GOD CARE WHAT WE DO?
I had majored in Philosophy in college and it didn't answer my questions. I had been raised in the Lutheran faith and I still didn't have answers.
So. I am going to talk about some of this wild stuff I have learned. Again, my hope is that it will help someone.
But buckle up. It's gonna get weird.
