That Time I Saw a Fortune Teller

If you’ve been reading this blog, then you know I’ve gone through a sort of spiritual breakthrough of sorts over the past few years. A lot has changed about me. I’ve gone from a logical, skeptical, person who would raise my nose at people who call themselves “spiritual’ to a true believer. I see the light now, I understand now that we are all spiritual, and it is we who can choose to ignore it or not. And it wasn’t the spiritual hippies that brought me over, either. It was a dream. A lucid dream. It was so powerful and enduring that it felt like an acid trip. It got me asking questions like: Is all of this a dream too? Are we even real? Where do I go from here? What do I do with this new-found information and appreciation for life and energy? Then, one of my best friends Hong told me about how her father saw a fortune teller when he went to India a couple decades ago. It got me thinking. If she had told me a few years ago, I would have rolled my eyes and said they were scammin...

Strange Things Are Happening

I told the guy I was seeing “You met me at a strange time in my life.” But at the time, I didn’t realize just how strange things would get. This was 10 months ago. It all started with my lucid dream. In November of 2017 I had a strange and intensely vivid lucid dream that’s completely flipped the way I understand the world and ever since, weird shit’s been following me that I simply can’t explain. It’s felt at times as if I’ve slipped into one of my dreams, even while I’m awake. Sometimes I find myself thinking I’m dreaming while I’m really awake, and awake while dreaming, and it’s difficult at times for me to distinguish the two..or even bother to. I have a different way of seeing the world, our existence, reality and dreams now, and I guess the best way I can describe it to others is that I’ve had a ‘spiritual awakening’. I think that’s what they call it, anyways. But it’s still difficult to interpret the meaning of everything that’s occurred since then and be sure what i...

How the Power of Now Helped Me Run Longer

There’s two things you have to understand about me before you read this. 1) I’ve never been a very “spiritual” person. 2) I've always been in relatively good physical shape all my life. Okay, now that we’ve covered those two basics, I can attempt to explain to you the strangest and most lovely experience I had a few months back. It will be very difficult to convey into words the nature and power of this experience, but I’ll try my best. But be warned, if you don’t consider yourself spiritual either, you might find it difficult to grasp what I’m about to tell you. But no matter, because maybe you’ll also find this helpful in your own way. Anyways, here it goes. So a few months back, I was in Bangkok. I was trying to be good about working out regularly because I find that I get anxious and sad when I don’t. So I began to run pretty often. I enjoyed it because you don’t need any machines to assist you, you just go. It was simple, and primal, and I liked that. I...
