In a world where you were pursuing your deepest, most heartfelt callings, what would you be doing?

Much of the same, only on a more profound level as is happening moment by moment
I am what I would be doing and continue to do so
Self Realization and self actualization sharing love, joy, light and healing
I am nothing and do nothing. I behold miracles around me - in gratitude

What is the most important thing you have learned in your life?

to be still, silent and at peace
that all I have ever sought is within me.... and you

Describe a belief that you previously held and then subsequently changed. What caused you to change your mind?

That I was bound by the conventions of the world and that I had to pay homage to those conventions

As I remembered to listen intently within, I awoke to the mysteries of life as trumpeted by many world scriptures and mystics.. then i woke up and remembered who I am. Nothing, infinitesimal, dimensionless

Who do you admire most in the world (past and/or present) and why?

People who Love in the face of hatred. Those that recognize that there is love and goodness in a world of such apparent horror; that good triumphs over evil; that there truly is neither... just Light. So hard to discern, impossible to explain, but possible to experience. That recognize that people can create heaven or hell on this planet, and do both. This is our hope and our challenge.

At this turbulent moment in history, what do you think is the most important thing a person can do to help humankind (and the rest of the planet) survive the many dangers that confront us?

To be still and listen and to act from that space. The teacher is within, full of love and grace. To be practical.

To tune into the new vibration that will save the planet. To deeply respect goodness wherever it is. To act from this state in our closest environment (home, office, etc..) not only in concept. So much wisdom abounds and is available to us. But we must act and do what we know we must. All we need to do is being shouted to us from all around us. it's happening as we participate.

What are your answers to the big questions: Who are we? Where are we from? Why are we here? Where are we headed?

I am that I am. Words are incapable to describe what we are. We are infinite in nature. Darkness can't touch us, if we wake up. We are waking up all over the place. We will all awaken. As we do, we assume our role as co-creators with the Infinite. Actually, all we ever do is co-create and manifest what is in our minds. Lots of darkness, to date. But we can turn it all to light.
