      The Beginning

      T his is the story of a boy. More precisely, it’s the story of a young man (who very much feels like a boy) although, in his mind he tends to think in ways that are quite experienced, you could say. It’s a story of waking up to intuition, finding and acknowledging one’s gift’s…and it’s a story of defining and integrating the Soul in a phenomenological world. A life full of various attractions (and distractions), only some of which he truly knew to be beneficial.

      Of all the temptations he found enticing, the most central desire underlying them all was the desire to connect with his real Self and thus the power of Spirit. He knew it was time to start listening to those urges coming from somewhere deep in the core of his being. It was time to quieten the chatter and begin acting on those urges stemming from within. Life had become a series of well accustomed loops which, given he hadn’t had a 9-to-5 job since leaving the milk-bar, he didn’t have much in the way of a regular routine. Being somewhat of a loner, he didn’t really connect with anyone his age nor partake in many of the things most young adults did.

      Although he was quite a social being and did have a few good friends, he spent much of his time alone. Which for him, was totally fine as he found a connection with everything (particularly the natural world) at a deeper and richer level when he was by himself. Especially after getting out of hospital, it seemed he’d been given a gift from Spirit during his stay. Something inside him was urging him to tap into a higher level of intelligence and find out how to apply it…

      As he saw it, intelligence was a multi-level phenomenon. A frequency that at its finest level was only slightly heavier than Spirit itself. He felt a kind of harmonic affinity with it, like an old friend, so close a friend, they’re not missed until they’re gone... losing touch with intelligence could be akin to drinking too much alcohol.... The thing with thinking is that doesn’t exactly equate to intelligence and, although he was an expert thinker (expert in over-thinking), he felt his thinking was something that needed regulation. Relegation, if not regulation!

      Knowing how to
