Pondering my past as I sip on my morning coffee:. I remember as a young teen slowly waking up to the idea that the adult world was random & not "fair" or "rational." Most adults were motivated by fear, insecurity or just plain ignorance. Orwell's 1984 and Huxely's Brave New World shook me to my existential roots. My suspicions were confirmed. Yikes! This was the world I was entering. I had a feeling of being lied to. Science addressed the "how" but left out the "why!" School was boring! Churches were out of touch! Then I discovered the Perennial Philosophy, Metaphysics and the Esoteric. There have always been those groups and individuals, largely unseen, that continued the search for True Knowledge - Gnosis. Essential Goodness resided in the human heart. Not in any system or institution. There was hope. Jesus beyond the human institutions. The Coming of the Cosmic Christ. The Journey began!
