About John

Hi, I'm John.

Welcome to my name-site. Just having one challenges me to present myself without either appearing egotistical or devaluing the attributes, skills and experiences that make me who I am.

Ego is essential to our existence in this world. It is the vehicle through which we explore life. Each of us must find a point of balance between arrogance and humility that allows us to believe in ourselves and do what we're here to do without impairing our relationship with others or the world around us.

With that said, let me beg the subject of describing myself here. It's not that I avoid talking about myself. I just never know quite what to say, and prefer to let my work and the perspectives I offer speak for me.

I try to direct my efforts to empower you, the individual, to live your life with more peace, ease and direction notwithstanding an outer world that seems to want anything but that.

Part of my work is therefore devoted to helping you better know yourself and follow your inner voice to the experiences you're here to get. The rest is directed toward how you see and interact with the outer world, and how together we might move beyond a status quo that brings ever more struggle and conflict.

We humans are quite tied to what we think we know and how we see things. To consider new ways we must let go of these beliefs and the patterns that keep things the way they are. As a result, my work is intended to loosen their hold and suggest new ones better suited for where we want to go.

Doing so, however, can push hot buttons and trigger responses like resistance and even conflict. Sometimes such effect is inadvertent, resulting from the interaction of our passions or the limitations of my own communication skills. At others, I do so intentionally to release the embedded energies and create a space in which a new understanding can form.

Either way, my goal is to plant a seed that can sprout and grow when those energies subside, providing food for thought that you can use or reject as you decide.

It's not my intention to persuade you to like or agree with me. Rather, my role is simply to allow the light to flow through me to wherever it needs to go, and try to add as much love and insight as I can along the way.

In summary, it matters less how you see me than whether you allow yourself to consider the perspectives I offer on your life and the things that affect it. More than that I cannot, and do not, ask.

God bless you indeed.
