Hello! I am a huge fan of your philosphical views and quotes. You are very inspiring and i think you are very wise and talented! What is your inspiration for you quotes and views? Like a person, or a live event, or something that has shaped you to become so enlightened and aware?

Hi, Holly!
Wanna hear something trippy? Just awhile ago, I was thinking about answering this same exact question (before I had even actually seen it)! Oh em gee! :-0
But anyway... okay, first of all, I want to thank you for reading the things that I write. I am honoured that anybody reads the things that I write. There are so many writers and thinkers in the world, and I am continually humbled by the fact that my words touch people's minds and move in people's hearts and in fact change their lives, their mental paradigms, the makeup of their souls! I am truly honoured, and constantly thankful! So, again, thank you.
Now, to answer your question, I wish I could say something different, but honestly, I have simply been this way since I was a child. In fact, I feel like I sort of raised my own parents. I had to always tell them what to do and when they didn't listen to me, they always regretted not listening to me. That's not to say that I'm never wrong about anything. I get scared of things a lot, and usually when I'm scared, that puts me in the position to be wrong. But that's a different story. As I was saying, as a youngster, I used to fill up little notebooks with words similar to the things that I write, today as an adult! Honestly, it's like I hear them being whispered into my heart. They are either directed to me, to guide me, or it's like I overhear people's prayers and somehow I answer them! :-0 Really trippy stuff! :-0 But on a lighter note... what has pushed me in life, is the constant desire to overcome present circumstances. I'm not happy to say, that through my life, I have gone through difficult circumstance after difficult circumstance after difficult circumstance, and I have had to row my boat against the current of the river (which is really hard to do). Honestly, I inspire myself. When I look at myself and I see myself, I inspire myself. And that's not to say that I am bragging about myself; but that's just to say, that at some point in life, you've just got to decide to become YOUR OWN HERO; because nobody's there for you, nobody's a hero for you, and dammit, you've got to pick yourself up and become your own hero! And that's all that I mean.
As for being enlightened and knowing a lot of things, well, I thank the gods for that. I'm privileged to be able to see things deeper and further and understand stuff the way that I do. I think that I am perhaps thousands of years old on the inside... I was once approached by a man in his sixties, he told me, that he was there to, "pay homage to his elder". I asked whatever did he mean, and he said, "Your soul is about 6000 years old. I pay homage to you." And so that really made me think, that perhaps I really am older than everyone, on the inside! :-) And by "older" I just mean, a soul that is ancient (I don't mean wrinkled) hahahha! I just had to throw that in, didn't I? :-D
Thank you for approaching me with this question, and I look forward to seeing you around at my facebook page, and wherever! We never have to part! :-) Have a beautiful day, and bless you! :-)
