I have always been a free thinker and chose my parents for this incarnation so that i would be well exposed to free-thinking. I am not religious but along the way from about age 7 have read everything metaphysical, spiritual or "new age" or natural health-wise that could get my hands on. And along the way took the parts of the various religions that resonated with me. Also, went off to many spiritual development groups and also studied Theosophy and went and got an advanced Diploma in Hypnotherapy too, hence my choice of the Spiral to the left.
And i even went and got a job with the largest importer and distributor of new-age and natural health type titles.
I have always been a truthseeker and a free-thinker and always question things. Want to kow why something is done a particular way, especially if i can see a better way of doing something or a quicker way or i don't see the logic in something. (guess, i'd be useless in the Army eh??!!

)
Growing up was exposed to the thoughts of a clairvoyant Mum and a completly "off-world" Dad who is the original mad-inventor, always tinkering around with free-energy etc and was hugely into UFO reseach also.
So, i guess, by choosing my current parents for this lifetime i kinda got a good head start.
What am i going to do with all this info. Well, am helping in my own small way with this site and other sites. Dom some planetary healing work and grid-work occasionally. Also ask for ET help in deactivating the The Large Hadron Collider and other such things from time to time.
My true mission is still manifesting and pieces and contacts falling into place as they need to in divine timing.
So, in a long and convoluted way, i guess what i am saying Carmen is there wasn't one specific event as such that could be identified as the event that awakened me - actually, I am not saying that I am "awakened" but I am definitely fairly aware! I never stop learning and hopefully these posts will go some way to creating the change in this beautiful world that I am assuming most of us want to see.
Peace and Bright Blessings to All.
