Thus began my learning of the deeper truths of life, some of which I had read about, but which I then began experiencing firsthand.
My spiritual research and studies continued through the years, along with higher education covering a broad spectrum of sciences, psychology, and philosophy, earning a B.A., and M.A. from a major university. During the ensuing years, I met another mentor, a Native American priest of the higher religious order of his people, who broadened my understanding of the workings of the universe, and especially of our wondrous Mother Earth. As allowed within the traditions of his people, he adopted me, becoming a second father to me, and I, a son to him, as well as making me a member of his ancient people. His gentleness, compassion, and wisdom will never leave my mind and heart, as I pass on the knowledge of our Earth Mother, and the Purification cycle we have reentered.view less
