Original Joy: Walking in the Footsteps of Our Self-Guiding Bliss

David Andreotti is a child of the 60's and 70's. .... David was driven by an unending will to think things out on his own. At the age of twenty-one the intellectual freedom he was seeking led him into the field of psychology. His search did not end there for at the age of twenty-four, he discovered the beautiful music and lyrics of Jimi Hendrix which instantly resonated within him. Carl Sagan then introduced him to how the scientific thought process came to be, survived much persecution, and eventually opened our eyes to our place within the cosmos. David fell in love with nature and spent the next ten years coming to realize the way nature is always communicating to us about the higher way. At the age of thirty-seven David discovered the writings of Lao Tzu. The Buddha, Krishna, and others. For the next five years he immersed himself in the depths of the ideas presented by these subtle scholars. When David was forty-three he recognized that the gently actions of love and compassion simply come to be when one's greatest desire is to experience the calm of a mind that has made peace with itself. He came to understand that in monitoring our inner feelings one simply discovers within this unknowable realm is a guiding vibration that is older than time itself. Not long after David was enlightened with the knowing that the fundamental thought beginning is "the oneness of all things". This understanding gave rise to a loving intuition that he would never forget. This intuition returned to hi over and over until it eventually took the conscious form of these words, "the purpose of our having come to be is to share in our eternal awakening to the beautiful nature of that which is giving forever form to all this. And the deeper meaning to this very life are revealed by willing oneself to follow the joyful wonder of personally experiencing living in harmony with the beautiful creation of our true selves".
