Hello and happy Spring Equinox fellow people of the Nexus!
I have been on these forums the past few months as a visitor reading about many experiences and ideas members have wrote about. First off I wanted to thank everyone who contributes to this forum because I believe there is very valuable insight to gain from many of the postings here. The second thing is that both my partner and I will be using this forum, hence the '2 for one' title of the topic.
A little about ourselves... my name is James and am in the middle of my life, still a young man, and I believe that life still has much to teach me and there is so much more I would like to learn and experience. I think life is all about positive and negative experiences, the negative experiences can be the best teachers although usually come with consequences, and the positive ones motivate for the obvious reasons they can elevate you and also motivate you when you are living life in a good clean way. So I try to focus on being a positive person and doing the best that I can and to positively influence and motive those around me. I grew up in Canada and was a farm boy, my folks run a health food/supplement business and it definitely had an affect on me because I take health very seriously. I don't drink alcohol, use coffee or caffeine, smoke cigarettes. I don't want to do any drugs that hurt me or mess me up, I only want to use natural things that can expand my consciousness and not on a habitual basis. I love being outdoors and have been a University student the past 6 years just about to finish my Geoscience/engineering degree in May and in the fall will be starting a masters in hydrology. I am here to explore who I am and to challenge my current way of thinking and living if can be bettered, which I am certain that it can be. I want to develop my entire life and do not want to stagnate.
My partner is Subi and she is from Northwestern China (formerly East Turkestan.) The culture and world she comes from is completely different than what most people know here in North America and she speaks 3 languages. She grew up very sheltered and because of that she feels that her character development growth has been slowed and affected by that. She was Muslim when she came to Canada 4 years ago (although now she questions everything about religions and her past faith and finds herself feeling more spiritually enlightened these days.) She was never exposed to entheogens until last year around this time. After the first time she used zoomers there was a major change in the follow months and how way she viewed the world, and admits that her past view of life was very narrow minded and negative, she had created many problems in her life because of the way she was living and not being true to herself. Now she is feeling like she is on the right path and understanding how her mistakes from the past were holding her back. She really wants to learn and grow to further better and develop who she is.
We decided to sign up to the Nexus today to share our experiences and to continue our journey together and achieve higher levels of consciousness. We both want to become the best versions of ourselves that we possible can and help those less fortunate than ourselves to become better too.
Thank you all.
Cheers,
James & Subi
