About

…working on deeper awareness in everyday life, struggling to overcome ego, denial and selfishness… some days are wins, others are losses. I just keep at it though, because “slow and steady wins the race”.

What this site offers - possibly not the answer to any of these questions:
How do I recognize the “real thing” when I see it?
If the real teachers are hidden, how do I find one?
Is the deeper stuff really out there?
Why can’t I have this deeper experience?
What’s it like?
The last question is likely the best match for this site. My qualifications, such as they are, come through the study and application of universal principles that work regardless of religious beliefs (and also if you are atheist or agnostic).

A little background
I am an instructor in the martial arts of Jiu Jitsu, and a student of Great River Institute. Being a student on the deeper aspects of the inner path is hard. Some of us hope there is a magic pill, wishful that we will come across someone who actually knows “the secrets,” who will wave their mystical wand, and whoosh - what work? I’m cured! Like anything of greater value in life, deeper inner development takes hard work.
