Yesterday I woke up before the alarm and decided to get out of bed to start my day. I did my crunches and leg raises, washed up and made some espresso. As I waited for my partner to wake and join me for breakfast I spent my free time meditating and thinking about my future and my thoughts cleared and in a moment of clarity I lived for ever a brief moment in my very own future. This brief glimpse of my future provided me much clarity and decisiveness on how I will be moving into and living in my RV on a full-time basis while driving the highways and bi-ways of North America. This brief moment in time has given me the ability and the joy that goes along with it to appreciate and live in the here and now and how grand it is to be here and to be alive to experience it.
Experiencing and knowing the "now" has been so elusive that I had pretty much given up on it but my doubts were all for nothing because "now" is here and I am experiencing it. Each and everyone of us has the ability and mindset to live in the moment and appreciate and be filled with "now" living so do not despair it can and will happen to you if you desire it. Allow yourself to live today, to live in the moment and your life will be brighter and all the better for it.
No this does not mean life will be easy but life is definitely better and and the world a brighter and happier place for us to be living in. What changed though is us, is you and me and what a difference it makes to each of us as individuals as well as to each other and those around us.
Live now and tomorrow will come and take care of itself, you will see. . .

Wicca, Tarot, and Metaphysics
About two years ago, I guess the fall of 2007 I enrolled in a program at the University of Metaphysics and proceeded to study the materials they provided as well as submit a thesis that earned me Bachelors Degree in Metaphysics. Here is a link to their website: University of Metaphysics
I am now working on my PhD dissertation. All in all I should have completed it by now but life I guess got in the way. I will succeed and will earn a PhD in Metaphysics soon enough.
Although, I studied and practiced Wicca in the past I do not so much as practice it today but rather live it, if you will. Over the past ten years with a small detour from 2003-2006 I made an effort to redefine myself as a spiritual rather than physical being and I think my efforts paid off with the dawning of a new year and a new decade. In the past and through most of my life I have had glimpses of the spiritual and metaphysical world without having the knowledge and understanding of what to think about these glimpses, how to perceive them, what to do about them, how to interact with them or even how to understand them and make them a part of my every day life.
Through my discovery of Wicca, Tarot, and Metaphysics I have learned how to realize my spirituality as well as bring it to the forefront of my daily life and living. I have a strong connection to and communication with the universe that grows stronger with each passing day and as I allow myself to just "be" my knowledge and understanding of the universe and life as well as my role in it permeates every atom of my being so that I know and understand my purpose in life and how I must live my life in order to be all that I am and am meant to be.
I am Spirit/Energy wrapped around a physical body and although I may die physically my life does not end for I and for that matter we are eternal beings and part of an energy that never dies or fades away.
After much practice I can see my energy pattern or "aura" that surrounds the physical body that allows me to live and interact with Earth and the people around me. Seeing my aura has allowed me to expand my life and understanding of the world around me as my "Third Eye" has also been opened as a result of my seeing my own "aura".
We are all one and the same and very much connected to one another and when I look in the mirror it is not only myself that I see but also the other 6-7 billion people that inhabit this wonderful planet we call home. I am in fact "we".
We are world and we are are the world we live in.

Ten Years Ago
Back in 1999 my eyes were opened to the world of Wicca and Tarot and just going on two years ago I learned of all things metaphysical.
1999 was the start of a new job and a new spirituality for me as I learned about and practiced Wicca in my own way. I searched the net and visited the library often and purchased books to educate myself on all aspects of Wicca as well as to grow and strengthen my Spiritual being.
As my knowledge and practice of Wicca grew and unfolded I found a liking for the Tarot and researched that subject for some time before deciding to buy my first deck of Tarot cards, the Thoth Tarot Deck by Aleister Crowley. In the years that followed I picked up books that provided me with a deep knowledge of the deck and the many different aspects of interpreting it.
I did not crack the deck open until 2002/03 and only paid attention to it for a short time as I met and moved in with a new Filipino immigrant who somehow convinced me to join a local church that took me away from my love of Wicca and Tarot for almost three years.
Luckily in late 2004, I met someone whom I feel in love with and my relationship with him took me away from the church, more like rescued me from the church thus allowing me to return to the world of Wicca and Tarot but this was not until I left the church completely in 2006.
I yearned for the experiences I had before church but my efforts were proving to be futile and the struggle to regain my true spirituality almost had me giving up on ever feeling like I did back in 2002/03 but 2010 arrived and something clicked and my world has returned to me.
Back in 2002/03 I was so connected to the cosmos that I could feel, sense and see a world beyond our own and I felt so alive. My energy and spirit filled me with much joy and happiness and provided me with a whole new outlook on life like I never had before. Those days were unbelievably euphoric for me and no I did not do drugs nor do I do them now.
2010 is a not only a new decade but a new way of life for me.
How wonderful it is to be alive!
