We all have a lifetime of experience that makes us who we are. In fact, I am not me without you being you. And none of us are we without those who fed their lives into ours over time. So, I can say I started my spiritual practice at age 25, or at age 3 or before the beginning of time. But for me when it comes down to it, everything is dissolved back into an ever-present, space-less and timeless benevolent presence/love. And that is who I am. And that is who you are.
Where do I Begin?

For the last twenty five years I have explored and practiced psychodynamic and body-centered approaches to psychology, subtle energies, eastern philosophies, relational and emotional intelligence, integral theory, and transpersonal states and stages of consciousness. With colleagues Geoff Fitch and Terri O'Fallon, I facilitate an internationally acclaimed program on conscious planetary leadership through Pacific Integral. I coach and mentor on spiritual and stage levels of development. I also unite and collaborate with leaders globally to serve a more liberated and illuminated human future.

/ September 16, 2011Hey Venita,
That’s beautiful. Am a newbie to Facebook, and various things there led me to think of you. We ‘crossed swords’ back in 2006 in posts on Sydney Integral. If only I knew then what I’m now learning … and now of course, I know very little. But the journey, the love, seems to be the thing.
I’m building a website http://www.inspirium.org which is pretty rough at the moment, but am trying to write a page to bring more coherence to the site. It’s about exactly what your “Where Do I Begin?” post covers, and I’d love to be able to quote you in it.
Best wishes

/ September 16, 2011Hi John,
I don’t remember too much sooo long ago. Feels like we are different people… So we always start anew and fresh; and your comment is really sweet, open, inviting and vulnerable. I feel a movement toward you. Checked out your website and I think it is great so far. I love Inspirium. One of my favorite words is inspiration. The word seems to include life and death and breath and beauty and of course spirit. Inspirium. Of course I would be honored for you to share anything from my writing that might support your message. And yes, seems it does all dissolve in Love. Sending Love to You.
