Why are we here and what is our role in the ever expanding reality of being?  To question is the basis of all understanding.  My father, Don Pendleton was an accomplished author and spiritual seeker, and since his passing, much of what he thought about and questioned has found resonance within my own mind, causing me to continue his search for meaning.  In the busy world of today, our connection to our inner self gets short-circuited, causing us to meander through life with no real direction and without purpose.  All growth is the result of experience, and all experience of value comes through relationship.  If I haven't a real relationship with myself then how may I extend a real relationship to others? Since the time of my  earliest memories I have been fascinated by the workings of the human mind.  I have been fortunate to have traveled the world, meeting people of every creed and color, and common to them all is that at the core of their being, the Love they feel is the exact same Love that I feel.  It is the link, the common thread that unites us all.  Recognizing the Love that resides at the center of your own being will empower you, allowing you to transcend the false images of pain and fear that surround many of us.
