The purpose of this website is to share bits and fragments from my spiritual journey in order to help you with yours. While everyone and everything is already embarked on the spiritual quest, some of us have become aware, sometimes painfully so, of the journey within. If you have ever asked yourself questions like “What is all this? What am I looking at? What is the purpose of life? What do I want? What am I doing here? What exactly do I call “I”?”, then undoubtedly you are on a conscious journey, too.
I believe that, while the spiritual quest is deeply personal, help can be available from the ones that walked before you; more so if they leave a trail by way of sharing their findings. Here, I share my personal conclusions drawn from experience, enhanced by the wisdom of many spiritual masters, and unfortunately but necessarily so, tempered by a lot of pain. I write these words for the purpose of making your journey, if not shorter, at least more enjoyable.
The short story of my spiritual journey is that I became aware of the fundamental questions early in life. Being hit with disappointment at a very early age, like all of us I suppose, I tried to make sense of what I was seeing and what was going on. To complicate matters, the context of my upbringing was completely opaque in regard to this subject: when I tried to express these questions aloud, nobody around me seemed to understand a word I said. As a child, I realized that it was better for me not to speak of such things. And so, the quest for truth became hidden, sometimes even from myself. But it never went away completely, not even in the darkest of times. It just became part of my secret life.
Later, especially during my early adulthood, I inevitably got involved in the practical aspects of my existence. The fundamental questions took a back seat for a while, but they were never forgotten. It would have been hard to forget: at times I was touched by intense psychological pain which now I can link to an incapacity to stick to the fundamental questions instead of sliding into the mundane. Also, the opposite was valid: when I tried to find answers to these questions while not actually considering them a priority, I experienced even more pain, as if something wanted to preclude me from finding these answers if I didn’t approach the quest with all seriousness. The pain helped me realize that whatever was hidden must come forth and the fundamental questions must be recognized as top priority.
In time, I read hundreds of books and followed the teachings of many teachers. I got lots of pointers and useful tools, and I had plenty of realizations. Everything started to coalesce into an interesting puzzle. As life progresses and years pass on, the understanding has evolved and continues to deepen.
Writing is a tool that enables me to slow down the speed of the thoughts and organize them in a meaningful and clear manner; to form conclusions that are clear and steady; and also, it enables me to share my findings with the world for the purpose of helping the development of as many people as possible.
This website is an attempt to clarify difficult and sometimes confusing spiritual and mundane concepts. There will be subjects that will resonate with you and also those which will not resonate with you. Please disregard completely anything you can not relate to; it just means that on that particular subject, we formed conclusions based on very different life experiences. But if you feel that you relate to any of them, please read, ponder and enjoy!
