Waking Up
Life is peculiar in many ways. It can be stubborn when I’m feeling stubborn, excited when I’m feeling excited, and thoughtful when there are thoughts worth thinking about.
But in all its many facets and colors, life is simply an experience that each of us has to feel and explore and be in, each moment of our lives. It is what provides definition, meaning, and soulful expression. It is what we call, our reason for being—la raison d’être.
When every moment is filled with a reason for being, your ikigai begins to blossom, and direction and force become simple and effortless. The wind takes us where we want to be, and we go where we are inclined to go. There is a certain dance to this thing called life. It is a call-and-response action. Life calls us, and we respond to it.
Sometimes we might not like what we encounter, but if we stick to it long enough, the jewel of a sunrise appears, and then we are able to see the light. It illuminates what we couldn’t see earlier, and we then are able to understand. Providence stands before us, and we are awake once again.
When life takes us on a journey, it is so that we can learn why we are here. Our musings begin to take form as we take a step forward on the path that we unconsciously chose, and each step forward reveals what our innermost thoughts have been focusing on—the life that we desire, truly desire; and yet we cannot seem to understand how to get from here to there.
If we simply just allow our inner self to guide us, then the path opens up and reveals itself, and life then becomes merely a series of pivotal steps leading us in the right direction.
It may seem awkward at first, but as we get used to its rhythm and style, it becomes easier, melodic even—almost as if we are stepping to an inner beat and cadence that knows the rhythm and timing of our journey. Our efforts become synchronized and effortless as we sway to that internal metronome that is connected to life as we want it to be. It is in the “letting go,” that it becomes effortless, and the lightness in our steps becomes more pronounced. Our thoughts pass through uninterrupted as the winds of destiny propel us forward, carrying us toward the horizon of our lives—our many lives, for we have lived a few and will live a few more before we reach our final destination of understanding and truth.
You see, "life" is a synonym for "experience." To have lived a life is to have experienced all that we can and wanted. If you wish to have many experiences, then you also desire to have many lives, not just one, but many. If looked at from a quantum physics point of view, it is you deciding to have many potentialities come into form. You are observing yourself participating in many activities that are in potential form, transitioning into true experiential action.
This is life at its fullest, fulfilling in its completeness and wholeness, as you attain its highest and delve into its deepest, all the while living in its most optimum, abundant, and unrestrained form. This is life in the vortex of expansive growth, also known as ascension.
Everything is possible, nothing is denied, and all is gained experience. To accommodate, rather than to compensate, is to make room for all life experiences, rather than simply exchanging one experience for another.
It is to respond to the “I” in all of us, guiding us toward our true North and letting go of the You that is holding back the Me within each of us from living the freedom our destiny contains.
It is time to wake up to the Game that is in play.

About the Book
How Me Found I: Mastering the Art of Pivoting Gracefully Through Life is an inquiry into what it means to be human in a world of constant change — and how forward movement becomes possible when inner orientation is restored.
The book examines how people gradually lose connection with their natural design, how conditioned identity forms in response to life and environment, and how a deeper, more stable sense of self can re-emerge without ideology, belief, or prescription. Rather than offering techniques or self-improvement strategies, it explores the natural laws that govern human experience, growth, creation, and directional change.
Structured in three movements — an introduction to natural law, an examination of the conditioned personality (the Pearl), and a return to the natural person (the Diamond) — How Me Found I traces the arc from fragmentation to coherence. In the Diamond, the focus expands beyond identity into function: how a natural person moves, chooses, and creates within a world governed by natural law.
A central concept introduced in the book is the Science of Angular Rotation — the principle that forward movement occurs through a purposeful change in direction around a stable internal axis. Just as rotational movement in physical systems depends on an axis, human pivoting becomes possible when orientation is restored, allowing energy to be redirected into intelligent movement rather than force.
Creation and manifestation are presented not as acts of willpower or fantasy, but as lawful outcomes of restored orientation. New direction and new form arise in the overlap between inner truth and external reality — a field of emergence long recognized in geometry as the vesica piscis, where two domains meet without dominance and something new can be born.
Neither a conventional memoir nor a self-help guide, How Me Found I functions as a universal autobiography of reorientation — a grounded framework for understanding how human beings remember who they are, regain balance, pivot with intelligence, and move forward with clarity and grace.
