MY BACKGROUND
A typical Ophiuchus, I have spent most of my life being an unwilling participant in the journey. That said, I have always tried to make the best of it. So let me briefly give you some insight into why I might write what I do.
I was born in Namibia and now live in South Africa. Home has been in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. Also Port Elizabeth, and a few small villages. I have been lucky enough to have travelled all over the world a few times, as well as to all of South Africa’s neighbouring countries.
There have been times in my life where I have existed without 2 cents to rub together. Incredibly, I have also been a self-made multi-millionaire, owning many businesses in different sectors. For several years I enjoyed an exceptional, exciting, and free-spirited existence doing everything and anything I wanted. My life now is the complete opposite. It is quiet, peaceful and the word recluse comes to mind. My great joy is listening to the woodpecker hammering away on the big tree outside my window.
For 15 year’s I was a strict Vegetarian. Now I do not touch grain, vegetables or fruit. Baptised Anglecian, I went to a Catholic School, joined a spiritual church, then initiated into Rhada Swami. Left and gave Scientology a stint, tried following a few other concepts, and finally figured out that all religions, from Jewish to Islam, only have some of the answers. Now I do not affiliate myself with any religion or following. I am also not an atheist. I just am.
Lastly, I have wonderful parents, siblings, children, and extended family. We all get on amazingly well. I count my family as my greatest blessing and in this regard, I have been very lucky.
As you can see, I have lived a life of many opposites, which on hindsight seems appropriate as we all live in a world of duality.
Now that you know a wee bit about me, I share, via EvE, my thoughts, and personal experiences with you, a willing reader. At no time do I declare to be an expert on any topic. This website is purely for entertainment. Please be sure to make yourself familiar with all my disclaimers found here.
Also, some (not all) of my links to products or services I use and suggest, are affiliate links. So, at no cost to you, the company I link to might compensate me, (usually monetary) for sending you over. This assists me in a small way to keep the website going, so thank you most kindly in advance.
You are free to leave intelligent comments on articles. I would love to have your opinions if you have experienced both the pro and the cons of something I have written. Hopefully, your experiences have been for a decent length of time before you blatantly state that I am right or wrong. Note that I am not willing to get into any huge debates on any of my viewpoints, which have taken me many years of trial and error to arrive at. I know that some of my concepts are controversial, so if you disagree with something, move along on to someone else’s site or start your own.
