44 ” I was born and raised in Louisville KY, pretty much in the same neighborhood as Hunter S. Thompson. In fact, while ten years apart, we both worked on a little newspaper called ‘The Highlander’ as kids. I am a sixth generation Louisvillian. When my family first arrived in Louisville, Kentucky was a county in Virginia. Mind you, Between George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, Virginia claimed a third of what was to become the United States.”
“It all really started I suppose after early Viet Nam. I had been a combat medic but settled in Manhattan during what is now known as ‘The Golden Age’ or ‘The Creative Revolution’. I became an alphabet designer and a new business account executive, at least until recruited by the C.I.A. [ ‘Norman Jaspen & Associates’ ] For details you can also check my links on ‘LinkedIn’. This brief chapter was to come back to haunt me some years later when I was recruited by an equally retired pair of New York Police Department Detectives ( One was a plain clothes member of the Violent Street Crimes variety, The other Organized Crime Squad ) who settled into Southeastern Florida ( 19th Judicial District, Office of The Medical Examiner ).”

After about ten years of practice I had these experiences which I have labeled ‘The Throne of God’ and ‘The Face of God’ respectably. Over the last year or so these two have been coming together, merging, and a third experience is just beginning to emerge.”
” I am a non-dualist. In a nutshell what that means to you, it is my experience that all religious expressions emerge from and return to a single ground. ‘God Alone Exists’, or ‘God Alone Is.’ This is the direct result of my exposure to my two non-dualist mentors Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, and Alexander P. Hixon, Jr.”
” As such I am both a Christian, A Hindu, A Budhist, A Muslim, A Jain, plus several other Natural or Indigenous Traditions equally, without bias or distinction, regardless of Race, Color, Creed, Social, or Economic Strata, Nation of Origin, Gender, or even Age. I am a Tantric, and a Contemplative, or Meditator, in the Classic sense.”
