| About Me
|
|
|
|
I am an older man who has never married. I live on SSI and SNAP. I ride a bike and take a bus. I have no job. Looking for a lighthearted and intelligent woman with a sense of humor. Interested in the East since college and maybe before, in Jr. High. Prem Rawat interested me in 1972 and then a philosophy teacher followed or met a spiritual master named Kirpal Singh. That teacher also taught free classes on occult classics by A.A. Bailey. Visited Stephan's Farm in Tennessee and Naropa in Boulder, CO with a woman. Difficult breakup with her. Also had issues with work. Long hair and habits. No work experience and so never hired. Ended up living with mom and dad for the rest of their lives - and no work. Studied, learned and went to meet Gurumayi in 1992. Mom, who paid for my visit to Gurumayi died in 2007. Without a job I found the home she left to me hard to keep up and I sold it. A few years later I became homeless. A friend put me up in his living room for 6 years and in 2018 I started receiving SSI which enabled me to rent my own room. Been there since. |

How I spend my free time:
- I'm unemployed and have a lot of time. I spend it watching TV, news, movies, TV show and sports. My hours are late, sleeping at about 3 a.m and getting up in the noon or 1 hour usually. I do my shopping and I get my medical appointments. I will play music. Have listened to kirtan and spiritual talks but have fallen out with meditation. Used to chant. Have no motor vehicle so it's hard on me. Was close to my mom. She died in 2007. Lost home and inheritance being unemployable. Hard to know why. I have education but they insist on work experience. Got some help from good people after I became homeless.

Tibet's Great Yogi Milarepa comes to mind today. I did read it years ago. Autobiography of a Yogi was very significant to me. There is a great book on the life of Jesus I like to quote, The Urantia Book. It changed a lot of my opinions, specifically the one on reincarnation. Play of Consciousness by Swami Muktananda has also influenced my thought. Loved a couple of other Buddhist books, The Way to Shamballa by Edwin Bernbaum and The Wheel of Life by John Blofeld but I read them so long ago, and when reincarnation was law to me.

I consider my spirituality...
-
Very important to me
-
What brought me to my spiritual path and motivated my interest...
-
The Siddha Path I have followed since the late 70's was advertised in magazines. I was looking for a Guru. A girlfriend I had was interested in a commune called The Farm. The year that we went to visit, The Farm, Ram Dass came to my university city. Many years later I was interested in following a Guru to realize my real self. A teacher had followed a Guru, another had introduced me to a satsang popular then, Prem Rawat's, then known as Maharaji. The Siddha path was available to me locally. Others I was interested in, like the Cult of Tara, had no local presence. I visited Shree Muktananda Ashram, ostensibly to meet Gurumayi in 1992. I am not sure meeting a Guru was so important to me but that's how it went. They had a lovely ashram up there. I am from NY, so that was meaningful, too.
-
I consider the purpose of my spirituality to be...
-
Connecting to something greater than myself, Finding happiness and peace within, Helping me cope with the struggles of life, Belonging to a like-minded community, Helping me grow as a person
-
After the body dies...
-

-
I would define a spiritual experience as...
-
An ecstatic experience. Beyond, perhaps, what we call peak experiences.
-
A spiritual experience I would like to share...
-
I saw this triangle I associate with the A.A. Baily books. It was ablaze. I was at a free Arlo Guthrie concert. He was singing with Shenandoah, a band he helped create. I had been traveling by thumb quite a bit though I did have a used car in those days. Some hectic events, even violent had come about. These books were predicting the reappearance of Christ in one volume, and I was excited about that, but I was carrying The Treatise on White Magic (white being the counter to black, not erotic black but evil black).
-
The spiritual books and authors that have had the greatest impact on me...
-
Alice A. Bailey, especially Reappearance of the Christ, Yogananda , Muktananda, Rahneesh, and The Urantia Book.
