The Beginning

from outer-body to inner-knowing

And just like that, two opponents bowing to one another, preparing to impress, share secret knowledge of the ancients. Like a dance between two tango dancers, creating symbiotic, synergistic vibrational dance never witnessed before.

Then opposition strikes, thwarting, splitting atoms of thought-based reality, into uncharted territories, giving birth to out-of-body experience of what may come to be, now and forever.

Hearing thoughts of self, observing the observer, hearing thoughts of next moves, before advancement, knowing what comes next without physicality, and corpuscle gaining strength. Intertwining thoughts of self and opposing forces, knowing thyself and outer means, punching barriers, blocking kicked ass reality.

Dancing, twirling, tango sounds repercussion varying actuality, opponents continue rising and falling, energetic, poetic flow, tap on shoulder signaling stop. Partners bow giving thanks for moments in time, cogitation universe in me witnesses the universe in you.

Stepping off the mat, exiting ring forever known; Stepping into the Canvas, life’s mystery persuading me. Henceforth, so shall it be, walking of two worlds, in and out of thoughts-based realities.

This was the first event, recalling my out-of-the-body experiences. It was at a local Tae Kwon Do studio, where another black belt and I chose to spar one another. I had trained for twenty-four plus years up to this point in time, but what happened next could not be taught in class. It was an experience where the participant became the experience.

As a basketball player, training for their entire life until one day the game begins to play through them, this was one of those moments.

As soon as the first punch or kick hit, unable to recall which landed first, I was thrown from my body. Now floating, looking down at myself and my opponent, I was tuned into my thoughts before giving birth to my thoughts. Just the same as my thoughts, I have tuned into my opponent’s thoughts, knowing what his next moves would be before extending a limb.

This event was the beginning of future events, gifting me the ability to step out-of-body, out-of-mind and travel to a place where thoughts gave birth.

Some call it Akashic, the void, the birthplace of knowing, the spirit world, the place where the Banjhakri live. It is where writers can create their story-lines, myths, poetic traces to transmuted thoughts reality. The illusion of sorts, or real as it is written, what comes to our minds becomes our reality.



Much gratitude for those who take time to read, ponder and allow the inner workings of self to come forward. Grateful for the feedback, love shared, and more importantly the Dance with Inspiration. Deep Peace.
