Life Is A Journey To Here: An Illustrated Autobiography - The Spiritual Road

Many years ago the thought occurred to me that perhaps the reason we begin crying when we come forth into this physical dimension, out of our mother's womb, is because, with our first breath, we realize that we dread the thought of encountering another incarnation. We didn't want to leave the beautiful spiritual realm from which we came, but...we agreed to 'further our education in this primitive dimension of existence, ' the only place whereby we can get the 'degree' for which we seek. Being born into a family with ten other siblings, and me being near the end of the 'litter, ' I have always had an inquisitive mind, and because of my mother having much more important and demanding things to do than to 'babysit' with me, I had the freedom to roam and explore in nature and observe, and quickly learning that nature was my real true love, because it was a 'constant, ' and I readily understood and respected it. My "Life Journey" has taken me from the woodlands of East Tennessee, to Michigan, to the U. S. Air Force in Europe, the CIA, and on to Australia, back to many countries in Europe, including Spain, Hungary, England, Italy, Switzerland, France, Holland, and... into Casablanca, Morocco in northwest Africa. Mexico, Canada, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Cuba have also been included in my travels, as well as all of the USA, except for Hawaii. By never traveling as a 'tourist, ' but instead, living with the people in the countries that I have visited has given me a highly valued insight into their customs, rituals, beliefs, et cetera, and that is at the heart of what I have shared with you, the reader, in this autobiography. And as to where "HERE," is, I guess you'll just have to read all of this book. I hope you enjoy the t
