A very good friend of mine always refers to me as "The Psychic Monk." It's a term that nearly always raises eyebrows, and is certainly memorable.
Why Psychic Monk?
Well, first of all, I'm known as the Metro Monk, but it's the psychic part that really sticks with people. I was a monk for several years after college, and that aspect of my life was the most formative for me. During that time, I got my Masters in Theology, I did intensive work with prayer and meditation, and expanded my abilities in ways that I ha no idea of at the time.
Of course, now I'm not a monk. Married with six children certainly is a change in lifestyle!
So now you know.
Of course there's more. Which is why I'm starting to work on a book that brings out a lot of the quantum moments and events during my life. I just started writing the book, so it's going to be a few months before it surfaces, especially with my very busy schedule of events and readings.
Do I miss the monastery? Not really.
But I still have aspects of the prayer and spirituality of those monastic days: they will always be with me, no matter how hard I may try to let them go.
That's why I used to teach meditation, discernment, and other aspects of spiritual practice. And it feels like I'll be teaching these again soon!
