Introducing myself and my Journey.

Hello my Name is Eddie I wrote a huge essay sorry. So my name Is Eddie and I am basically here like some or most of you wanting to familiarize myself with just anything and learn something new. I am 37 years old and I have always been fascinated with anything that has to do with the Occult and Mysticism. I had a life changing experience after having a stroke April 21st 2017 . No I didn't see hell or go to heaven but I did have an outer body experience and there was a lot of things that scared me during my battle months after. I personally believe that I had not been on my life path and so this was the universe's way of getting me on track in a very scary and chaotic way. I can honestly say I have always had knowledge of a lot of things as I have family members that are so different in their believe systems and I always respected everyone but always listened and enjoying stories no matter how extreme or scary they were. When I had my stroke my life changed completely but I must admit that I am 100% to blame as I was entertaining a lifestyle where I wasn't being true to myself. I have always been a person who tries to give everyone chances and it is hard for me to cut people out of my life no matter how toxic they are. At the time when I had my stroke I was dealing with a lawsuit against a former employer, Troubles in my marriage and my father had just had heart surgery and I was struggling to say "sorry I can't help you I'm going through a lot myself" when my other siblings couldn't really help him. My life was falling apart and I felt like I was struggling to be keep my position as a good Husband, Son and even Friend. So I unfortunately I allowed so much negativity and toxicity into my life that it affected me all at once and so I blame myself as I feel now that I manifested so many worries and I was unable to clean up my life and the toxic people around me that I broke. After my stroke my life became nothing but hospital visits and Dr's pressuring me to get a Pacemaker as I had some complications after. My attorney Was a Russian Woman who was a very spiritual person as odd as It was to me because I had never heard of a Russian person knowing so much about a religion that is really one that mostly is followed in Cuba. So she was crowned in the Yoruba religion of Santeria and so she didn't hold back about her opinion to why this had happened to me. And even seeked answers from her Godmothers house in the religion. While I never went to go see a Santero I respected her wanting me to learn about her religion and did so. I learned a lot about it but I found that it didn't resonate with me mainly because I was vegan for 6 years and I wasn't about to drink rooster blood or chew on a chickens head to the bone to get initiated into the religion so that they can teach me all the occult mysteries I wanted to learn so that I may protect myself energetically. I am not at all saying that chewing on a chickens head is wrong I respect all belief systems and I hold no type of judgement it just didn't resonate with me and what I feel I wanted to experience at that time . Instead went to Mexico to see a Shaman and that is when my life was completely overtaken by the will to learn all these wonderful secrets and ancient traditions. After a few visits I was initiated and was taught about the 9 rites of the Munay ki. I was taught about herbs and medicine, Crystals, meditation and light work. Months later I started learning reiki and I got my attunments culminating in me finishing and getting my Reiki Master certification. I really want to share my story mostly because I have found myself in a frequency that was so self destructive after my Stroke I was completely done with life. When Dr's told me to take so many pills just to function and I felt my heart giving out I just gave up and I was in my eyes like a light that was about to fade. Diving into the metaphysical realm and learning so much about what I am and my potential gave me the courage to fight. Every visit to Mexico and learning about a new plant that can potentially help me became an addiction to me as I saw it as essential to my survival at that point. So Fast forward 2 years later I managed to break free and changed my frequency. I would like to stress the importance of having people around you who believe in you and give you hope. Its so hard to thrive when we surround ourselves with energy vamps and people that constantly bring us down or hold a frequency that is toxic. I have learned the art of meditation and I have managed to manifest myself out of the darkness I was in. I have envisioned myself being a source of light for others just as there was people who were that for me. I have been with my partner for 16 years and although I once thought all was over it seems as if my life was struck with chaos so that I could see my true path. I know I was put here on earth to help others an learn to teach as much as I can. I became more appreciative of my life and started creating something beautiful and meaningful. I am in the process of adopting 3 little girls and my partner and I just purchased a home in Washington and we are ready to hit the reset button and live in a more positive light. I am writing this story just so that people can see the importance of being aware of our surroundings and what we welcome into your life. We have the power to manifest "the way out of things" just as fast as we were negligent in manifesting negativity into our life. It is never to late. Ever. I want to take the time to thanks the creators of this class for giving people an outlet for learning. There is beauty in learning and embracing the light and the darkness when we have control. We all have light and darkness inside of but its important to have balance so that our life doesn't become chaotic and disruptive to our goals and life path. I want to wish anyone who reads this the greatest gift of all that is the willpower to learn and understand that we are in control always and that nothing negative is infinite. We are balls of energy in this short moment in time and we owe it to the universe and mother nature to be the best version of ourselves so that we can be a source of balance wether it be share light or share little darkness. Life is one big beautiful mystery that nobody will ever solve nobody has the answers because our time spent here is to short. What I feel we have is the ability to enjoy and appreciate ourselves and live happy in every aspect of who we are. Always remember that the biggest mistake we can make is allow those around us to set boundaries for us or tell us we aren't anything short of miracles. Blessings to you guys brothers and sisters and I am greateful to share this moment in time with you guys. Love and light _ Eddie. ps Im sorry for any Grammatical errors :) And yes! I'm the one guy that has a stroke and then takes a selfie to let all the family members that don't like me know I'm still alive and they can still kiss my ass. lol
