A step into the unknown.

Hi out there, I'm Swami Dhyan. I bought my first computer last Christmas and the past month or so has been a revelation. It's too much of an explosion in many ways, it comes at me every which way and I'm "addicted" already.
The sheer depth of knowledge on tap and the opportunity to "meet" strangers has opened up a whole new world which I have begun to discover with tentative steps. Tentative because I'm still getting the hang of the technology.
I hav'nt the faintest idea where this is going. It is a step into the unknown and I am an enthusiastic pilgrim setting out on a voyage of discovery. I've packed a good lunch and a sou'wester in case I run into stormy weather so cast off and let's catch the wind.

I am a very life positive person. I have some core beliefs and my own moral code. I do not belong to any organised religion although I was born and christened an Anglican. My childhood memories of church revolve around the usual weddings, births,etc and the Sunday School my siblings and I were MADE to attend for no other reason than to give some Sunday peace to mum and dad. Religion as such did not feature in my childhood.

Some years later I was given a book that changed my life. For now the book is not important but I will come back to it later.
This book introduced me to someone who had the answers to all those questions I'd been asking for years. You know, questions like, "What's really going in here? What's real and what's not and
why do I feel like this, and who the hell am I basically. Is it just me or is this world a madhouse?

I spent three years with this man and called him master. Iloved him then and I love him still, even though three years after becoming a member of his ashram I left to pursue my own course
in life.
I suppose you could say I had an interest in politics as well since I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time marvelling at the sheer stupidity of "The System." (A multitude of sins herein).

I have an open mind on everything and love discussion and philosophical debate on any and every subject under the sun. Minds are like parachutes they only function when they're open.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention but I'll be doing a lot of that. Dropping in little pearls of wisdom like confetti. I make a habit of writing them down when I spot them and trying to remember them for later use. I call them "windows" because they help me to see through the illusions of the world.

I have been called irrascible at times but I of course prefer to think of myself as not suffering fools gladly. I love to laugh. My Ideal day would be spent in good company, countryside, conversation, food and a bottle bearing the gifts of the vine, and more conversation.
As i progress this space I hope to include some of my favourite music and why I like it and other additions such as pics, gen, and of course my daily (mostly) observations.

So I'll get working on that and the journey will continue.
