Soul Stories & Awakenings

Self-Transformation & Rebirth

jamesicon

Here’s where I share my most important, life-changing stories. This is how I had a ‘spiritual awakening’.  I’ve learned that it is critically important to be completely honest and truthful when speaking about your inner stories because this world is full of deception and it’s far too easy to fall onto the “wrong path” or get confused.  Another reason is because this whole subject matter is about Truth. I’ve also found that  you need to open up in a “safe environment.” I guess that means a place where you are unconditionally accepted for who you truly are inside.  I also believe the “Clear” vision of the Wise mentor also has an influence in blocking the ego’s perpetual habit of “pulling the wool over one’s eyes!” So there’s a kind of leverage that one can borrow with the right, authentic connection and even a bit of “soul magic” can come out too!  I promise you there are deep and beautiful mysteries inside.

So what follows here is a brief and honest account of what happened to me growing up and how it caused me to evolve in a positive way eventually.  And you know, talking is so important with these things, especially with someone you trust and who possesses inner wisdom/awareness.  The inner-knowledge keeps building upon itself you’ll see.  I didn’t even talk about these things (my personal story, tragedies, etc) for about 5 years.  And then full expression occurred 10 years after that.  Counselors can be great if you feel a good connection with them.  If you feel it’s not working try somebody else.  Your inner Self will tell you when it’s truly there.  It doesn’t work unless you find that genuine connection.  You can usually feel the right chemistry of the connection.  Interesting feelings will come out, laughter, tears, giddiness, energy, euphoria, the feeling of flying, powerful dreams, etc.  So please try hard for this and don’t give up until you do make it work.  It’s definitely worth fighting for.  Trust me!

The Rocky Mountains are a great reason to come to Canada.  Come and let’s go camping!

On the next few pages you can see a bunch of Korean pictures.  This will give you a great idea of what it’s like living and teach ESL there. It might help you decide if you want to go there or not.

This is the beautiful Emerald Lake.  I actually swam in this lake!
