Ever since I was a young child, I knew my purpose in life; it was for me to Awaken, find Enlightenment, and share my experience and knowledge with others. To reach those lofty aspirations though, I first had to navigate through quite a few unexpected detours in my life. Though I was brought up in a religious family, it did not help me hear the messages from my Spirit guide, Bodhi. If anything, religion only further isolated me, teaching me to accept the Ego’s view of religion rather than Bodhi’s. It was not until after I stopped following a formal religion, I finally was able to embrace Spirituality, and with this embrace, I Awoke.
Spirituality is the belief there is a piece of God (a Spirit) within everything that has life, and, because of this, all life is important, equal, and connected. After I Awoke, no longer having the dogma of religion handicapping my views, I was suddenly free to explore this philosophy of life more deeply. Only then did I become aware of the mask I wore and the impenetrable wall I had erected around my heart; the mask and wall allowed me to survive in the world. I would always smile, appear happy, though I would often feel intense anxiety within. This was something I never really understood until the moment I confronted my Ego. Little did I know these survival mechanisms would have a profound effect on me for the majority of my life. By protecting me from emotional pain, they also isolated me from my family, everyone else in my life, and even from myself. No one could hurt me because I did not allow anyone to get close enough to do so. In turn, no one could love me or was I able to truly love another either. This superficial life, one devoid of risk or pain, left me alone in a sea of people.
It took many years before the first cracks in my wall formed and before I could loosen the mask I constantly wore. It took me almost an entire lifetime to Awaken and begin my journey toward Enlightenment.
After I was clearly able to hear my Spirit guide, Bodhi, I realized everything I had learned from my Ego throughout my life was untrue. I had looked for love and happiness in the job I had, the money I made, things I owned, and through my wife and children. With the exception of the latter, I finally realized none of those things truly mattered. This does not mean I am ungrateful to my Ego, however. It taught me coping skills and allowed me to succeed, or at least what I thought success was. Though my Ego still remains with me, it has taken a more secondary role in my life now, relinquishing its former primary role to my Spirit guide, Bodhi.
Decisions were now required. While it was tempting to take this newly found state of being, withdraw from society and all the hate, fear, cruelty, poverty, and greed that plagues it, I knew within myself, this gift of Enlightenment was to be shared with others. That is my destiny. Therefore, I have written Journey Toward Enlightenment: Daily Spiritual Reflections, A Spiritual Trilogy: Spiritual Reflections – Volumes 1, 2 & 3, three books of Spiritually inspired poetry, and The Awakening Tetralogy, a series of four Spiritual novels, to share this knowledge with as many others as possible. It is my and Bodhi’s hope you will read these books, and in doing so, begin a new adventure; one where you will Awaken and further your journey toward Enlightenment with your Spirit within.
I do not know if our books will be widely read in my lifetime, though I hope one day they may help others Awaken and find Enlightenment as well.
“We are all on a Spiritual journey of love & peace;
together may we spread light throughout the world.”
