I have been "sailing the high seas" exploring the depths of my inner world for the past 10 years. Really I could say this began after what some may call an "initiation" when I had a near-fatal allergic reaction to vaccines at age two. By age 14, I found myself searching for "wisdom books" & throughout my teens I used the internet to attempt to satisfy my unceasing curiosity for "ancient secrets". I went through a phase of copying the text of the Emerald Tablets over & over, hoping to gain something via osmosis... Where did these ideas come from? Good question! STORY TIME Around age 17, I had a spontaneous spiritual experience that lasted a glorious millisecond. I was going to turn the light off to go to bed (confession, I was still afraid of monsters under the bed). So with that thought in mind, as I reached for the light switch, everything in the room became shimmery white, then I seemed to perceive the entire world, & it was all part of me, & it was also shimmery white. At the center of my chest I was suddenly perfectly aware that "there is no need for fear". I heard very distinctly "everything is going to be ok". And then I felt "no fear" & knew without a doubt "I could do anything". I felt completely free, as I've never felt in waking reality. It was -or is- perfection embodied. It is what everyone is capable of experiencing. If everyone could learn how to get to this clear, peaceful space of creation at will, we would achieve peace on earth as never before. HOME Since that time, I have found my way back to this "place", which has been revealed to me as Home, with the assistance of plants. But, this is not required. Everyone is fully equipped to achieve this bliss, but it requires some cleaning of the inner path to get there (and stay there for more than one second). It requires some patience. It requires a LOT of self forgiveness & self acceptance. It requires greater self awareness, which is why Ark of Arion is here. The nautical theme has worked really well for expressing the topics we cover in our blog, as well as in the deep work we get into with our self help guided journal - the Captain's Logbook - and live online meditation groups, contemplation sessions, & deep inner healing challenges. We sincerely hope Ark of Arion is able to bring you to something of value on your great inner search & most worthy exploration of You. We hope you are able to create the life of your dreams more easily than you ever thought possible. Safe travels.
