Bio

Born in Huntington, West Virginia, USA, I've lived and traveled in many different places all over our planet, always learning from others.  As a boy, I grew up in the midst of a primitive form of Protestant Christianity, as a member of a "Missionary Baptist Church."

When I was 19 I left the university, sold my car and took all of my savings and went to Pakistan, traveling the length and breadth of the country, learning from grandmothers and mullahs. I've studied world religions, and embraced a young Iranian religion founded by Baha'u'llah.  In the mid-90's I was excommunicated from the majority Baha'i group because I had begun presenting information to the members or the worldwide community that the Baha'i leadership, after the death of our first Guardian, had grossly misled the believers, and taken Baha'u'llah's faith in a direction that was never intended.  During that period I established the Heart of the Baha'i Faith, an Internet community to bring together and open up communication lines among the several Baha'i groups that were not talking to each other.

Over the course of my life and travels, and study of the world's religions, people, human hearts, our languages, world and American history, I've concluded that humanity is heading in a good direction. In fact, I believe we're moving rapidly toward Enlightenment. What's in store for us in the future, will make everything now look dull.  Blessings to all my human family, to those who are afraid of me, and to those who love me.

Beyond our veils of fear and differences, we're all beautiful wise beings living in the light of Knowledge and Love.

"As above, so below," the wise Hermes said. Everything shall come to pass!
