About Me
I've created some interesting identities that I have called me, but my background is a mix of spiritual exploration, eclectic music collecting, and a fascination of technology and science fiction. I love people as they are versions of me, exploring life.
Age: 39
Gender: M
Location: Yao-City, Osaka JAPAN
Interests and Pursuits: Deciding what to be and do next, challenges, sharing perspectives, exploring Japan culture, food, language, history, countryside, making realizations, helping to create an enlightened planetary civilization.
Authors, Leaders, Visionaries I admire.: Neale Donald Walsch, Harry Palmer, Eckhart Tolle, Ghandi, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Marriane Williamson
Things I Celebrate: My life-partner, people making wins, friendships, laughter, awakenings and realizations about life, the Earth, making choices, food, marriage, living deliberately
What I'm Grateful For: Having each day as a new slate in which to create; our president George Bush for showing us to ourselves. People that give us a clearer understanding of what it means to create peace; my family and friends, technology for good intentions.

I just returned back from the U.S. Gosh, it's great to be home in Osaka. I experienced some amazing growth and insights into life. The two Avatar courses I attended brought to my attention some things I wasn't seeing. I brought to light the affect my labels and judgments have on aspects of connection and relationships in my life. I can appreciate others and situations so much more by just letting them exist as they are, without putting something on them. It's amazing when we can choose compassion and appreciation just by choosing to, and let our beings just be in the feeling of the moment. Take for example, an airport full of busy people. Some are feeling anxious, stressed, happy, tired, pissed off, elated, hungry, irritated, pleasant, etc. It's easy to be swept along the currents of behavior and attitude of others. One can become quickly overwhelmed in thinking and interpreting. On the way home I just looked at many people, and wished them well - appreciating who they are. Today, I realized a deeper understanding of this: Appreciate your creations. Have compassion for them. They are gifts that show us to ourselves, in whatever way they reveal and unfold before us and in us. Have compassion for you as the creator. You are source!

If anyone has heard or have read the CwG books, and has recently heard of the motion picture, I recommend it highly. The books and the movie explore the possibility that we are all one, and that each of us can have a relationship and conversation with God. In fact, many of us do; and that we're not apart from God, but a part of God. I saw this movie for the second time and it was so inspirational. After the movie this evening, I had a wonderful connection with a Christian couple. The movie touched them both very much. It sure gives testament to the possibility that we can be from very different faiths or beliefs or backgrounds but still have a heartfelt connection with each other that transcends our held viewpoints about God. We don't have to argue our spiritual views and feel seperate, but come together in the way we are by nature benevolent beings. It makes me feel that we're all still exploring and expanding our ideas about Life and God, and that we can only change our world by expanding our currently held beliefs. A movie such as CwG with an audience of many religious or spiritual faiths may have never been considered appropriate even 10 years ago. As this movie helps us to view our connection and relationship with God seem real enough for everybody, perhaps that is what we can realize - that we can all be one with God, and that there is nowhere where God is not present. I feel that if we can feel God in all, then we can end seperateness and begin to evolve as a whole planet and continue life on earth as we know it. We don't have to sacrifice what we hold to be sacred in our lives, such as our values, but rather expand upon them, not throw them out for another set of beliefs. I love the quote from one of the CwG books, "You cannot experience what you do not allow others to experience."

For those who have read, this is a course I attend and also teach with my wife. I love it, and I love what affect it has in my life and to the people I connect with everyday. This is everyone! Feeling connected and in appreciation is a nice space to create life from.

The International Avatar course begins in another beautiful setting, in the town of Wakayama, Japan. Avatar is a highly effective and transformative belief-management course that gives you the tools to integrate your life and live consciously (deliberately). Many people are realizing that there's a greater way to expand upon just the discussion and contemplation about life and spirituality, dreams and goals. The Avatar course allows you to fully take your life into each exercise you learn and practice. It is an experiential, 'hands-on' approach in your own consciousness where you are at the helm. What Happens at the Course? With the gentle guidance of Avatar Masters, you are in a comfortable and caring environment. You have the time in which to be vulnerable, yet feel safe as you explore and handle any self-imposed limitation and/or life pattern. At the same time, you are actually learning to lift away old beliefs you hold that create the same situations in your life that may be causing your attention to fixate and your energy to dwindle. With the Avatar tools, you are taking deliberate action into the consciousness blueprint you have created as you, and from a clear space, align your life towards your greatest potential and the goals you choose to realize. So you learn not only integrate your life now, you also create anew a life that serves your highest purpose. Opportunities This is a unique opportunity to awaken a self that is by nature benevolent and virtuous, and consciously aware and responsible for its creations. The international nature of the course allows for the invaluable opportunity to share and work with others from around the world who are willing and ready to make palpable changes in their lives too. Come explore and be the change you wish to see in the world! Getting More Information Free introductions to Avatar are available to anyone wishing to take their own beliefs for a test drive with some of the exercises explored at the course. Please contact Chris Sharp at 090-1130-5299 or Tomomi Hashiguchi at 090-1133-1940 about course registration and introductions, and for more information.

Yesterday we visited the pet store where Tomomi got our quartet. We had a visit with their deadbeat dad. He was huge! Only pumpy - the one with the funny, hairy face, looks like pop. Pumpy also talks the most. We are really appreciating and enjoying them in our home. They are fascinating to watch. They really entertain themselves well. I am grateful for them and their playful nature.

I had an enjoyable and powerful week of a course called Avatar. That's another post for later.... But on the last day of the course, my wife mentioned there was a surprise waiting for me at home. I had grown suspicious that it may be a new animal, as she has hinted about having a new family member in addition to us two. We don't yet have our own yet.... As I arrived home, I walked into the darkly lit kitchen and saw a wire cage with a small box inside. I had guessed that Tomomi brought a rabbit home. She had a wonderful rabbit of 10 years that recently went on to rabbitland in the sky. She lifted the box and there was a cute family of four - a mother guinea pig and three piglets. We have been blessed by them and they are happy with us. The little ones do a thing called popcorning (I found out). This is a dance of happiness! It is a reflection of us, I felt. We've named them (from L to R), 'Mom', 'peace', 'pumpy', and 'shoppy'. Peace is the most gentle and least shy. Shoppy I named because he lifted the box from underneath one day. I thought, "shoplifter". My brother-in-law laughed at the name, adding ..a 'criminal hamster'. Well close. He's not a hamster nor a criminal but does push things up with his nose, more than the others do. See the picture.
