Wind of the Soul

The last few weeks have been filled with a wide variety of emotions and new experiences. I would like to thank everyone who expressed their condolences and support after my uncle’s passing. Your words of comfort were well received and very much appreciated.

If you’ve been following my posts for a while or have dug into the archives at this site, you’re probably aware I also spend a lot of time working on my other site, Season of Shadows. SOS, as I like to call it, represents a celebration of my favorite time of year, Halloween/fall and it delves into the paranormal.

At first glance, this website and SOS may seem like polar opposites, but they’re really not. At both locations, I spend time exploring states of awareness along the spectrum of consciousness, whether these states are being expressed in this physical plane of existence or in paranormal terms. Primarily, my writing at Wind of the Soul is based on theoretical exploration of our conscious capabilities and doing my best to help empower others through this exploration. However, recently I’ve decided to devote the majority of my time to obtaining what I feel represents actual evidence of the power of consciousness and its capability to exist outside the physical body.

Together, my mom and I have been collecting data on the phenomenon of EVPs. EVPs, or electronic voice phenomena, appear to represent communication from individuals who have crossed over to the other side. For lack of a better description, they are messages from ghosts or spirits that are imprinted on recording devices. The evidence has been compelling to say the least. And, I would have to agree with the consensus of most paranormal enthusiasts: the messages we’ve received appear to be coming from the “afterlife” or the astral plane. If you’re interested, all of our evidence is being posted in the Paranormal Video section at SOS.

So, where does that leave my theoretical and philosophical exploration at Wind of the Soul? I would have to say, it leaves it where it’s always been; it will all stay right here and when I feel inspired to share my feelings, I will absolutely create a new entry. I’ve never wanted my writing to feel forced and I’ve always refused to be a “chucker” type blogger, meaning I won’t post or throw something up just for the sake of posting – even if it causes people to visit this site less frequently.

So, the purpose of this entry was to update everyone on my recent activities during my absence, to thank you all for your wonderful gestures of kindness and to let you know you are more than welcome to get in touch with me regarding questions you may have on any of the subjects I’ve discussed. I look forward to communicating with you, both here and hopefully at SOS.

I’ve been working on getting a new post together recently, but unfortunately received some very tragic and unexpected news about the death of a loved one. I’ll be taking a short leave for a while from posting any entries.

-I love you Jeff, and we miss you.-

Last night, as part of a regular series called “Jessica’s Interactive Report”, Wind of the Soul was featured on Albuquerque’s Fox news affiliate – KASA 2. The report highlights a variety of bloggers’ sites from New Mexico and around the internet. After receiving my email, Jessica Garate was kind enough to add Wind of the Soul to the segment. You can check out the Interactive Report in the embedded player below – a huge thanks to Jessica and KASA 2.

If you’ve looked at the sidebar lately (to the left, about a quarter of the way down), you’ve noticed I’m including an rss feed from Twitter. I was inspired to include it after seeing Steve Pavlina’s updates in his blog. Thanks for the idea Steve. Twitter is a sort of micro or mini-blogging and social networking service. People gather there for a variety of reasons, but the catch is you only have 140 characters to state your business. Basically, it’s a way of talking about what you’re currently doing in short snippets.

Initially, I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy it, but after being pretty long winded in my blog posts, it’s nice to be a lot less so. Each day, I try to include a Twitter update of what I’m doing, along with sprinkling in some of my own feelings and ideas on reality, consciousness, and my journey through life.

I just wanted to let everyone know I appreciate their kind, consistent feedback pertaining to my writing and podcasting here at Wind of the Soul. During my one month absence from adding content to this site, many of you have sent emails supporting my work and reinforcing my understanding that older articles are still resonating with visitors. And, speaking of my recent absence – I probably won’t be writing or podcasting until a week or so after Halloween. As the haunting season is upon us, my other website has the majority of my focus.

I absolutely appreciate your continued support of Wind of the Soul. And, even though I’m not currently writing or recording content for this site, I do consistently check for emails and for any comments which may have been left on blog posts. I hope you have a great Halloween and if you’re in the spirit, I hope you’ll join me at Season of Shadows.
