On October 31st 2015, I began a seemingly unplanned and divine spirit walk that would last for two weeks and symbolically ended with my release from a mental hospital. The events that unfolded were so fantastic that I am still in disbelief every time I recall the events. We had just finished dinner and my friend and I went for a walk around his mother-in-law's farm when I spotted an apple tree that was beckoning to me from a distance. As I placed my hand on the tree, little did I know that my life and the world as I knew it was about to change forever. In a flash, I could feel what the tree was feeling and I just knew what it was trying to tell me. A tree was actually speaking to me? I asked myself, and the answer came in a flash, yes, everything could speak to me because everything is connected. Looking back on the details of my awakening, I sometimes wonder if I was just seeing things because I had not been getting enough sleep and the stress of losing my job made me hallucinate, but the truth is, everything that happened was real and was absolutely necessary for me to see. It was a divine story that led up to the awakening. A perfect story that my subconscious had created and my physical being acted out in order to put me in this exact moment and time. Everything in the universe, my universe, I had created. This is not to say that I created the universe as that is still God's domain; however, in my awakened state, I was completely aware of God's domain and I was one with everything, including God.
The apple tree was the beginning of my symbolic awakening everything that followed began to have synchronistic meaning at every step. I understood the eternal nature of the cosmos I was able to make stars shoot from the heavens and clouds seemed to defy physics at my whim but instead of getting lost in the wondrous power of moving the stars and the heavens I suddenly felt the Earth's pain so I set out on a mission to solve the planet's problems and so I headed to the barn with my friend who was on his own spiritual journey. Thankfully, he was open-minded enough to hang out with me as I explored the barn where more synchronicities just exploded out at me. In time I understood that every person is going through their own awakening so it is best to not try to convince others about what you experience because we all have different paths. Time was irrelevant because I had tapped into another dimension where I could perceive the universe and it's mysteries all at once. And although time was not important to me because I knew that there is an afterlife, my heart was hurting for our planet so I had to figure out how to fix the planet. I ended up in the basement of the farmhouse and everything I picked up in that basement had universal significance. Even the basement itself was laid out in a way that told me the story of man's evolution from prehistory to the space age and beyond. I am convinced that everything in that basement was put there by the universe for me so I could understand what was being shown to me. As my experiences unwound before me, I began realizing that my actions and discoveries were not mine alone. I felt completely warm and the joy was boundless because in that state of awareness, I was completely at one with everything and everything was at one with me. I did not want it to end. I found that my inner creative genius was creating everything around me and it was all manifesting in the physical world.
From my point of view, the universe needed me to gather information about Earth and at the same time learn the appropriate solutions to end all of the planet's problems to save humanity. I was empowered by God so I essentially possessed universal knowledge. I had what author Paul Levy calls, the Goddessance. Knowing how daunting this task is, I called in help from my friends and relatives. I was recruiting experts in engineering and philosophy from around the globe. I scheduled meetings of the minds and having full discussions about how to stabilize the biosphere using technology. Anything that I did not understand, I even delegated to the experts. Anyone in today's society witnessing my behavior would have clearly thought I was crazy because I was literally talking to these experts using mental telepathy but I was vocalizing all of my responses so it would appear that I was talking to myself from the outside. My subconscious knew this so that's why my awakening was designed to take place in the middle of the night safely hidden from the sleeping world.
When you are spiritually awakening, your senses are heightened so you can actually feel how others are feeling. You are able to communicate with whatever or whoever you want because you are no longer bound by the physical limitations of this world. Time is no longer linear as you are able to perceive and understand universal knowledge. Everything will be clear to you and only you. The beauty of awakening is that you will understand everything that is happening in the universe and you will be completely at peace with life and death, but you will not be affecting anyone else's life journey because everyone is on their own path. As much as you want to share what you know with your friends and family, it is not worth the effort because rushing the timing of an awakening will usually be met with undesired results. So it is best to focus on what your experience has taught you and act on your new path. This is not to say that you are to completely change who you are because that would be irresponsible. Awakening could happen at any stage in one's life. Those gifted souls who awaken early are truly our guiding lights because they persevere and have been the outcast fringe dwellers for a long time.

No matter how far I stray in life, God always welcomes me home.

Round and Around We Go
For those who have gone through a spiritual awakening and are struggling to live in the world after, I salute you. You are not alone and even though each of your experiences is different, the overall global and universal truths are the same.
The best advice I can give for those that are having questions and are turning to the internet is to read and watch videos in order to expand and build upon your own experiences rather than taking everything you find online as truth.
The problem with that is if you follow one person's journey too much, you will lose site of your own personal experience and sadly their journey will begin to cloud your own. Try not to convince anyone of what you now know because this only leads to conflict and sadly this usually involves people close to you like family and friends. They are helping you the best way that they know how and many times this will result in you ending up in a mental hospital.
This may sometimes be a necessary step in your ascendance. More to come in later posts.

Reservation Rewards is a total scam
I just noticed on my credit card statement a charge for 10.00 that I didn't recognize. After some research, it turns out that the charge has been recurring since January, shortly after I purchased some tickets on fandango.com
The whole scam is accomplished by displaying a seemingly good deal after you complete a legitimate purchase on sites like Fandango, Expedia, and hundreds of others. It says something to the effect of "Click here to receive 10 dollar gift certificate". That looks like a good deal right? Well, it's not, once you click on that link, your credit card information is sent directly to ReservationRewards or webloyalty.com which is the front company for this shady business.
I called the 800 number listed on the credit card charge and it was suspiciously easy to cancel membership. It was the same way on their website, in fact, they will give you an automatic refund if you click on the correct links. I'm going to call my credit card company shortly and have them dispute the other months charges.
This is a known scam but the proprietors argue that it's legitimate business (nope). They netted something like 108 Million in 2006!
Anyway, I'm just posting this so I can get it off my chest. Unbelievable what people will do for a buck.

I'm back in the gym! Finally after months of searching for a good gym, I've found the perfect place to work out. It's my neighborhood community center. It's a third of the price of any other gym in the city (NYSC, Equinox, etc.) and I love that it's not a scene.
I'm focusing on cardio exercises for now because I want to trim down, not bulk up. I'm excited about getting back into shape. I already feel better than I have all summer. Can't wait to play volleyball again without getting exhausted.

Birthday Thoughts...
After a much needed vacation to Florida to gather my thoughts and strength, I have returned to start a new chapter in my life. Florida was unbelievable! I love my old friends down there and the beautiful beaches are so welcoming and the ocean is as blue as it's been in my dreams as of late.
I know the vibe is just different down there, it's a non-stop party but it can get old rather quick. Of course, as soon as I got in my cab from Laguardia back to my apartment, I realized that this is definitely my home. There's just something magical about New York that I have yet to be able to put into words, and a part of me doesn't want to be able to as I'm afraid that when I can finally describe what it is that draws me to this place; I will be bored with it.
Looking forward to Spring in Manhattan is almost as good as waiting for Christmas morning. Tomorrow I turn 32. Where does the time go? I mean really, that sounds so cliche, but I am sitting here, 10 minutes from my birthday and I'm wondering what have I done in my life and where will God lead me in the coming year?
My Good friend Geoff's wife gave birth to their first child last night! I went to visit them in the hospital after church today and it was such a beautiful experience. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wasn't scared or freaked out to pick up his new born baby and play with him. I guess a part of me wanted to see what it would be like when my sister and my brother's wife have their kids in September. Wow, that's all I can say about the miracle of life.
Lord! what's next?? I am so thankful for all that you have given me, but I'm so excited about this coming year that I can hardly hold a thought in my head. I feel like tomorrow will be the beginning of a long journey of which I do not know the conclusion. All I know is that there are no accidents, and everything that you've done in my life is just leading me closer to you.
Happy Birthday to me! April 2nd 2007
