Interview with a Guru

As a lead into the Straight to Hell blog tour that will be taking place in a few days, I’m interviewing characters from the series.  Tonight, the guest is Tommy Lefevre, Lilith Straight’s friend and her stepsister’s spiritual advisor.

Q: Can you describe yourself in three words?

TL: Hmm.  I try not to define myself like that, you know?  People are too complex.  But I’ll give it a go.  How about vegan, artist, and…I can’t’ think of a third.

Q: Humanitarian?

TL: (laughs)  You think so?

Q: You helped Lilith and her niece out quite a bit.

TL: I guess.  I hate seeing people in trouble.  Besides, Lilith has done a lot of humanitarian things herself.  She’s a good person.

Q: Jasmine calls you her spiritual advisor.  What does that mean?

TL:  Well, I’m more of a spiritual tutor.  I mean, I have a passion for spirituality, and I’ve read a lot about it, so I tell her what I’ve discovered.  She’s pretty interested in finding a spiritual path of her own.

Q: Do you mean she wants to find religion?

TL: No.  Spirituality.  See, there’s a difference.  Spirituality is about reaching out for the greater meaning of life and attempting to connect with the Being who gave birth to the world.  Religion is a man-made structure.  A way to express spirituality.  I can’t tie myself to any one religion.  They all have their merits and their drawbacks.

Q: You sound like a philosopher.

TL: (laughs)  Not really.  I just think too much sometimes.

Q: Any women in your life?

TL: (actually blushes)  Not exactly.  I mean, there’s Jasmine, but she’s just a really good friend.  Right now, I’m trying to stay focused on my upcoming trip to the holy sites of the world.

Q: Any last thoughts?

TL: Just that people should keep an open mind and an open heart.  Stay in touch with the light that surrounds us all.  Namaste.
