A Quest for Understanding and Connection – Part 3
I started my personal quest for understanding through science, which led me to psychology, which led to spirituality. I earned university degrees along the way, and have spent countless hours in workshops and seminars. My love for nature brought me to the study of science and ecology, my love for myself led me to psychology and the healing of my past, and my love for God led me to spirituality. Initially, my spiritual study seemed to move me away from my earlier scientific studies, but ultimately it brought me back full circle. I now understand science and nature from the wisdom of spirituality. The circle, the hoop, and the medicine wheel I have learned to love and honor, from indigenous teachings, has brought me back to the beginning. I now understand all of my studies to be one studythe art and science of universal consciousness. I no longer see the disciplines as separate, just as I no longer see myself as separate from anything or anyone else. My spirit teachers are as real as my traditional teachers. The wisdom of the spirits is as valid as all of the university courses I took.

During this phase of my learning, the spirits fed me ideas so fast I had to use a tape recorder to keep up with the information. Other information came through working with clients
