The About Page
As a samurai sword is molded by fire and hammered into shape to become a deadly weapon, a powerful instrument; so has my life been forged by divine fire, and spiritual tests, to be in service for my God.
Before I was born the LORD called me; from my birth he has made mention of my name. He made my mouth like a sharpened sword… (Isaiah 49:1,2 NASB)
About My Journal
Foremost, I have written my Journal for my children, family and those who follow our Way. I initially thought strongly about whether I should make my Journal public, and I decided it would be appropriate as:
- Many of my journals have been of interest to the general public,
- We are living in an Age of Information and it’s important to share because,
- My ancestors, both Sephardi (Spanish Jews) and Roma (Gypsies), have been reclusive in nature and I believe it’s time to come to the fore.
Though many of my journals are open to the public, I have locked some journals to the public and made them available to the very few who have a key. Please do not ask for the key, as the key is freely given, not procured.
Some of my journal topics delve into subjects arcane by nature. It must be noted that I feel no responsibility to justify the merits of my beliefs. My journals are designed to teach my children, who have a strong foundation of their father’s worldview.
Are you looking for answers? Are you searching for something or someone to make sense of your life? Then this is most likely not the place to start. But I am personally seeking the truth. Daintily skipping through life, with a perturbed grin on my face, enjoying the experience. Maybe one day, some life time, I’ll figure it all out. For now, feel free to join me in my journey as I’m sharing it with my children.
About Myself
The question of who we are may be very loaded and answered from many different perspectives. To some, I may seem a little complicated, afterall, I do bear three names: Jimmy, Mishael and Shinari. You could say that Jimmy is my legal name, Mishael is my essence, and Shinari is my spiritual name. All in all, what matters to me mostly is that I am known by my children not merely as a “name” but as an enlightened Person and loving Father.
I like to think that we are highly evolving creatures and that some, as I, are in constant progress towards greater heights of enlightenment. This onward progress, this spiritual journey on the Way, is something that I hope my children will embrace. But whether they do or not, ultimately, I long for their happiness and success in life – in whatever path they may choose.
I like to think that my beliefs are not mere words, as talk is cheap. But that my words reflect a pragmatic and applied spirituality that highly defines my life and my family. My spirituality may be expressed in a nutshell (Est Deus in Nobis), but at the same time, as the volume of my journals will indicate, it may be exhaustively expressed.
Apocalypse of Mishael
I’m a follower of the Way (Drom), a mystical and natural path, that has been in existence from the beginning of this world and delivered in various traditions. I have learned that my way is not the way of others. As an anomaly, I stand with the atypical mindsets of this world. And yet, I stand alone, inexpressively united with my soul brother. We have been labelled many things. Whether you label me as a devil, disturbed, eccentric, weird or possessing mental issues; I care not, as I am esteemed by my spiritual family and entourage, and from thence I gain my social pride. And our relationship has sustained us for eternity. I have a blood mole in the center of my forehead where my third eye should be located, call it a natural Bindi, I picked it once and it spurted out blood – it was a rather humorous, if not disturbing, sight. On my arm I have a third eye tattoo. You could say that appreciating the world with only my two set of eyeballs is not my cup of tea. Though I don’t go to church (as I’m a rather reclusive creature) I have an affinity for Scripture. And though the Christian Canon appeals to me, so does the Koran and the Bhagavad-Gita and the unwritten Word of God. I believe in blood, and bloodlines. Yes, my Sephardic (Spanish Jew) and Romani (Gypsy) ancestry has impacted me deeply. But I must admit, my spiritual lineage – my spiritual blood – gives me life! It vibrates in my atavic consciousness like a madly gyrating Akash. I believe in the Kabbalah, not as passed down by the Rabbis, but as it is passed down from the mouth of God into my very soul. My family is special to me. But, moreso, my spiritual family which includes God. A God that is not necessarily defined by institutionalised religions or stereotypical Biblical interpretations. I have no problem with the unknown. With things that cannot be placed in a box. Because a seeker will ultimately find. And I have sought the truth through lifetimes. And the truth to me is not written on paper, but it’s living, it even has a bloody good sense of humour.
