I’m an experientially-based writer. And based on my experiences, I have an extraordinarily deep belief in that which ‘lies beyond’. My beliefs have, without a doubt, biased me. I’ve been challenged on those beliefs so many times that I had to back up a bit and temper the inflection that people were reacting to: that just because I believe it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s true.

I started blogging back around 2005. At the time, I was cautiously revealing some of my personal inner ‘journey’s’ and experiences. When I look back on that work, some of it feels naive. Now, more than 10 years down the road, I think it’s time to resurrect some of that, but in a way that is a bit less naive and possibly a helpful contribution to the great human endeavor to understand the nature of our universe and ourselves.

Starting in the late 1980s and continuing through the 1990s and beyond, I participated in consciousness studies and assisted in consciousness research. I’m personally convinced that the brain is ‘inhabited’ by the mind, i.e., that the mind does not solely and only reside in the brain. The “further research” I’m referring to is found in the so-called ‘bleeding edge’ research contained within certain aspects of quantum physics. Consciousness research by physicists (something that I gather is not all that popular of a subject among physicists) is bringing scientific objectivity to the doorsteps of the mystic’s backyard. And that excites me.
