About Me:
Laughing can be the cleanest, purifying and most healing action anyone can do; humour equals remedy so I wont get angry if you laugh at my ideas! I am at university doing a student exchange from Australia to Manchester, England, studying a Social Science degree (which is almost a contradiction considering society and I have this love/hate relationship) although my passions are philosophy and spirituality. Although i dont like to use the word spiritual because of the associating dogma (people take it the wrong way), it is the only word which accurately describes my conscious non-dual interconnection to every element of the universe, including YOU!. karma is an essential word in my vocabulary, like are music and party…give me a rave or festival INSTANTLY!!! (that one was for my fav scots!!!) I am so impressed with this site as it gives me a haven or sanctuary to refuel and refresh after a hard days work in the material world surrounded by material people (committing to the collectively emerging message of expanding consciousness and spirituality is draining, deflating and sometimes self-degrading). Anyways, thats why I can be an asshole, but Im generally a nice asshole!
If anyone feels compatible with my energy do not hesitate to invite me as a friend. I look forward to talking with you…

I want to sum up my philosophy on life:
I have always felt intuitionally interconnected to everything; everything was always a reflection of my thoughts, my self. The first question I had rationally and not intuitionally asked my self, over ten years ago, was 'yes the universe was ever-expanding or contracting (at the time the scientists were still confused) but what was it expanding or contracting into?' It was a mind-blowing thought, why did anything actually exist? It then took love with my ex-girlfriend to really help me see and feel intuitionally a destiny, a pre-determined purpose. But what really enlightened me in a rational sense was a series a severe spiritual awakenings in which my external world completely reflected my internal world. They were in sync, my thoughts manifested into my environment non-physically. Sometimes it was instigated by love, others it was mind-expanding drugs but everytime it was unplanned: spontaneous and sporadic. I know rationally from these experiences is that all i have to do is build a neurological net in my head which revolves around synchronicity, which I am slowly developing to an advanced state (these experiences now occur every day).
But for years I wanted to sum up the purpose or meaning of what we experience as life in one word. It took me many tiring, draining and yet empowering hours to find an answer. It also took many other issues to be faced before I could really get to the fundamentals of it. But i found it (at least for myself): GROWTH! Growth of the soul or spirit, growth of God or Source, growth of existence or reality. But it took concepts like karma and freewill to be investigated first.
But how do I fit 'freewill' into a pre-determined destiny?
My take on it is this: A straight-line is a pre-determined destiny, the growth of the soul. And freewill (the ego) is our fate (our karma), which is not pre-determined but determined by our personality. As we move forward, our fate can be lived directly along the line of destiny or we can sway from left to right, yet our destiny will always bring us back to it where relevant . There are an infinite amount of ways to learn the same lessons, and learning lessons is growth of the soul. So we freely choose (within reason) how to learn those lessons which are pre-determined. But in a sense I do not believe that most of us have much freewill. The majority of people in my view are mostly reflections of their environmental conditioning and surroundings. I used to be myself to a major extent but then I gained some sense of independence and begun to navigate my thoughts and actions quite freely. Yet I believe I am under 50% freely controlled as I also believe that the most we can liberate ourselves is at 50%. The rest is pre-determined and considering we exist in a third-dimensional dualistic construct - love/hate; light/dark; yin/yang; positive/negative; spirit/ego - it is paradoxically illogical to trancsend that reality. I am who I am and will always have those limitations, which I actually am proud and content with.
Why do I believe in the soul?
Its quite simple: if karma is a fundamental principle in my experience of reality, if what i give is what i get and what i get is what i give then why was i born with such a blessed existence? I (as in my essential core) felt as if i had earnt it, actually created it and it certainly wasnt established this life. Thats why i am very grateful and committed to evolutionary spirituality because I not only have a duty and obligation to my ego and to my soul, but to the beach I call God. I am an individual frequency, or manifestation of God, yet i am only a grain of sand within such a magical and miraculous beach. But i am part of that beach and that beach is a part of me.
peace out with light…
