A voice which mythologists label "the call." A call to the value of your life. The choice of risk and individual bliss over the known and secure. You may choose not to hear your spirit. You may prefer to build a life within the compound, to avoid risk. It is possible to find happiness within a familiar box, a life of comfort and control. Or, you may choose to be open to new experiences, to leave the limits of your conditioning, to hear the call. Then you must act. If you never hear it perhaps nothing is lost. If you hear it and ignore it, your life is lost.” ― Jennifer James “This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.” ― George Bernard Shaw https://growhumanpotential.com/

   Transformation & Enlightenment Ahead! The Power of Africa!!!

   The Sedona trip and experience was amazing, unbelievable, overwhelming, mind-blowing, spiritual, with all the ingredients of an awakening. It would take years to process. I returned home to a part-time job that was much needed to help ground me and distract myself from the whirlwind of thoughts in my mind. I was also volunteering much of my remaining time which became a calling. I visited a friend I had met on one of the spiritual group meetings. The song kept playing wherever I was, "Africa" by Toto. The line, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you" stayed in my head. Once again a restless state emerged. We were watching a show and there was reference to Africa. This time it caught my attention. The next morning I remembered Margaret, a Near-Death Experiencer (NDE), talked at the conference I attended about her trips to Africa where she volunteered. She said that others were welcome to join, but that we needed to pay our own way. I called Margaret out of the blue, and she answered the phone stating, "I was expecting your call." The signposts were clear now. I had to go. She spoke about a woman whose dream it was to go, but could not afford the trip. I looked at the expenses to make the trip and, no surprise, I had enough to cover my own expenses, along with one other. Her name is Lib and I was humbly able to make her dream come true. She ended up staying in Africa to fulfill her own purpose. The experience there was, and still is, unbelievable and profound. I left the fast-paced world of America, and into a place where there was no time. My body went through the withdrawels related to the rituals of the West (schedules, timelines, constant stimulation, activities) to adapting and ultimately embracing life at a much slower pace. I felt as if I was in a National Geographic special as I spent time in tribes, experiencing their customs that were unlike anything I have ever experienced. I would eventually leave on my own for a journey that would bring me to experiencing the wonders of Africa and its amazing human beings. Once again, my life would change, this time at the core level related to my beliefs and values. I volunteered in one of the Townships that housed the purposely displaced native Africans, into massive ghettos filled with despair, starvation, crime and more. This was contrasted with up-close experiences with that amazing wildlife of Africa, and a "near-life" experience rafting down a Class 5 river in Zimbabwe. The essence of Michael Crichton's quote made total sense now, "“Often I feel I go to some distant region of the world to be reminded of who I really am. There is no mystery about why this should be so. Stripped of your ordinary surroundings, your friends, your daily routines, your refrigerator full of your food, your closet full of your clothes -- with all this taken away, you are forced into direct experience. Such direct experience inevitably makes you aware of who it is that is having the experience. That's not always comfortable, but it is always invigorating.” Note: I am concluding my podcasts with Transformation Network, as I seek a new beginning related to my dream of guiding and inspiring others to find their own truth and become their full potential. I am incredibly grateful to the staff that helped me get my start in podcasting. They are truly amazing people. And thank YOU for your time to listen in and be a part of my life and teachings. I hope that I influenced you in some small or big way to make the most out of the most amazing journey you will have --- YOUR LIFE!!!

   The Story I Never Thought I’d Tell

   Part 6 finishes up in Sedona, AZ, where I was getting acquainted with "Spirituality". I was a sponge with an open mind, along with the appropriate discernment, learning about topics I had never heard about (e.g. near-death experience, crystals, numerology, past-life regression, energy, vortex, vibration, etc.). Most of all it was the people I met there that had the biggest impact. They came from all walks of life with a common interest in learning more about life and beyond. We found a spot on a hillside where we put down our towels and prepared for a group meditation. I had only a couple of prior experiences with meditations where I had difficulty "getting out of my head", but I found them relaxing. I enjoyed the view during the open-eyed segment of the meditation, and then we were asked to close our eyes and go within. I didn't really understand what this meant other than the closing my eyes part. It was about 5 minutes into the meditation that something extraordinary happened. I felt myself falling into the earth below me, and yet I felt myself sitting on the ground. I was in a free fall but there was no fear. I was in a dual reality, and felt okay with it. I descended into what looked like a cavern far below the surface. I was still flying. Crazy huh? And then two incredible experiences happened that I share in this podcast. I did not speak of this for years since it sounded too whacky to share with anyone, and even finding the words was challenging. Following my experience I returned home and prepared for my next adventure on my Modern-Day Vision Quest. A series of synchonicities pointed the way to Africa. And off I went, open to new multi-sensory experiences that would forever change my life.

   A Modern-Day Vision Quest Part 5: Signs, Synchronicities, and Sedona: From Skeptic to Believer

   Part 5 continues with real-life stories about the segue I made from the Personal Growth stage to the Self-Discovery stage and now Enlightenment. As you may recall, I had two key intentions for this quest that were phrased as questions: 1) Why Did I Experience So Much Pain & Suffering?, and 2) What is The Meaning of Life? Synchronistic events and people continued to come into my life that were preparing me for the next adventure of my Modern Day Vision Quest. I had returned from Europe and became an active volunteer domestically. Many of these activities had death as a common denominator. These experiences we forcing me deeper and I was confronting mortality. I began to contemplate what death was all about? My mother's own death when I was 14 years old, left me with a fear of death and the realization that dealing with these situations left me alone since others did not want to talk about it. My experience talking with the monks while visiting the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi, Italy, provided me with the first understanding of the word "spirituality" as an option to religion. I wanted to learn more about this, but had no idea how. Well, be careful of what you wish for, since this would all soon evolve into an amazing new segment of my journey and into the topic of enlightenment. This segment of my jouney would begin with a random event where a "Pennysaver", a publication that features classified adds for local goods and services, somehow dropped on the floor across the room, and amazingly opened to a page that would open another amazing door to my Modern Day Vision Quest.
