About Me
I have always been a seeker of truth. I personally believe that one should not be totally conditioned by any school of thought or belief system. While one may have an affinity for a particular religion or belief system, one should not be totally bound by it. The windows of one mind should always be open and if there is something that goes against the grain of what you currently follow, you should not feel afraid to entertain it and check out its veracity. There should never be blind belief. Believing blindly is to create a graveyard within ones mind. ALWAYS BE ALIVE TO EVERY SINGLE CURRENT - NO MATTER HOW SUBTLE - THAT CROSSES THE TERRITORY OF YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS. A SEEKER NEVER BELIEVES IN "ISMS" HE BELIEVES IN THE TRUTH.
