About Me:


chasing ecstasy, exploring bliss


Md005
Born into a family of Beekeepers from the fabled Ojai Valley, 
home of….'the truth is a pathless land'… Krishnamurti.
My childhood was a wild mix of  artists, hippie philosophers, mystics, religious zealots, quakers, and Jehovah's Witnesses.
This foundation sparked a lifelong passion for all things sacred and profane.
I have devoted my life to the art, health and beauty of body, mind and spirit.
Study and explorations have included  psychology, art,
eastern philosophy (Buddhism, yoga, zen, tantra ), optimum nutrition, culinary arts, and enlightened appetites.
All of life is art and practice



blogs have become my favorite way of sharing 

               East/West body positive spiritual practices,Tantric/taoist/yogic and shamanistic systems and secrets are  are untagled and explored with gurus, scientists, mystics, scholars, artists, philosophers and crazy wisdom teachers. A who's who and resource of tools, teachers,maps of ecstacy, bliss and higher states of consciousness

“Admit It and Change Everything”
Define and narrow me, you starve yourself of yourself.
Nail me down in a box of cold words, that box is your coffin.
I do not know who I am.
I am in astounded lucid confusion.
I am not a Christian, I am not a Jew, I am not a Zoroastrian,
And I am not even a Muslim.
I do not belong to the land, or to any known or unknown sea.
Nature cannot own or claim me, nor can heaven,
Nor can India, China, Bulgaria,
My birthplace is placelessness,
My sign to have and give no sign.
You say you see my mouth, ears, eyes, nose—they are not mine.
I am the life of life.
I am that cat, this stone, no one.
I have thrown duality away like an old dishrag,
I see and know all times and worlds,
As one, one, always one.
So what do I have to do to get you to admit who is speaking?
Admit it and change everything!
This is your own voice echoing off the walls of God.
