My Journey of Personal Growth and Spiritual Ascension

It’s not easy to sum up a lifetime's worth of growth into a single article, but here I want to share my story that’s riddled with profound lessons, incredible adventures, and unfathomable challenges.

It has not been an easy road, but my life is unrecognizable to what it once was. From my beliefs, perceptions, understandings, and vibrations, to how I communicate with people and interact with the world around me.

But it sneaks up on you. You don’t realize how deep you go into the personal growth journey because you’re so committed to it. It’s not until you look back and gain some perspective, that you realize reality is a very different place.

There’s so much beauty. So much mystery. And there’s always another layer to peel off. So many that the search for deeper meaning eventually loses all meaning.

But regardless, the journey only becomes more profound.

Spiritual awakening is born from pain

Me as a young lad, 2013

During my adolescence, I was a miserable kid. I had some major issues learning which resultantly led to depression.

I always felt alone. I had no social skills, so friends were few and far between, and mostly, I just had no idea what was going on.
