One of my earliest memories occurred when I was five years old in the barbershop where my mother took my brother and me once a month for haircuts in the early mornings. The barber chairs stretched the entire length of the shop like time machines in a windowless corridor. Each shiny red vinyl chair was surrounded by the emptiness of space, making them look like island stations facing tall mirrors, producing so many reflections it was hard to tell which chairs were real and which were echoes. With each step I took, the shop turned darker—except for the chair where my barber waited. A single light bulb on the ceiling made that chair look substantially larger than the others. As I climbed into the seat, the barber moved levers to lift the chair until my head fit neatly in the palms of his hands. That’s when I first saw it. Hanging on the wall between two mirrors was a large painting with a gray sky and billowing clouds filled with angelic light. The warm clouds were what pulled me in. What grabbed me was an object in the middle of the painting. It was a man dressed in medieval clothing, his coat and jacket flapping wildly in the wind as he fell through the sky with terrifying momentum. 

       The story in the barbershop was one of my first experiences learning about wholeness  with my nonphysical counterparts. Wholeness means unification with our higher self, where insight, intuition and creativity originate.  There has never been a more important time to discover who we are and where we come from before life.     

     For millennia, the human race has been living in darkness. The issues we face are an evident disconnection between each other, which has led to divisive and fragmentary societies and a loss of our connection to the planet, its health, and biodiversity. It doesn’t have to be that way. Opportunities exist to rise from the long night of seclusion and escape the cave. As a race, we can look forward to fantastic possibilities in a future that has yet to be discovered. We must address our lives in the reality in which we exist. In the last century, we have seen significant breakthroughs in technology and science, yet that universal shift has not been reflected in the spiritual growth of humanity. If you were to travel off the planet, you could look back and see a beautiful globe floating in space, a delicate and interconnected world shared by the human race. People behave as if our planet, with its oceans, deserts, mountains, cities, and skies, is merely an economic possession to be managed. What happens to our planet happens to us, and what happens to us happens to each other. There is no us and them. We are all inseparably linked to the fabric of life. To be unified with each other, we must become unified within ourselves. I am an explorer who has spent my life learning about the interconnected nature of people and their nonphysical origin. Healing begins with the awareness of existing connections to our higher self and energetic counterparts (core family) in nonphysical environments. Unification with the higher self represents our wholeness, what is fundmentally the vast intelligence of our energetic system offering insight, intution and creativity to help us adapt and thrive on the planet. By empowering ourselves we may begin the healing. This is responsibility. The unification of physical and nonphysical worlds is our future!  Humanity is at a tipping point to exiting the cave of darkness and finding the light at the end of the tunnel. All we have to do is follow it. Brighter Realms is a step in that direction.
