Like most of us I had my first experience of the divine when I was very young. Although most of us tend to forget, it seemed to stick to me, probably because I was born Sun conjunct Neptune, the mystic planet - I was born to be a mystic!!  :)
For me, it was when I was 3. Since then I have tried to walk the path back to the One, and have had a number of spiritual experiences, including kundalini experiences.
I subscribe to EnlightenNext (previously called What is Enlightenment?) magazine. When I first came upon it I bought as many back copies as were available at the time, and am now working my way through them.
I have also read, After the Ecstasy, the Laundry by Jack Kornfield (hence my title), and have also read Putting on the Mind of Christ and The Death of the Mythic God by Jim Marion. These three books have been,and are, a great help to me.
I work as a VET teacher at a dual sector university in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, teaching in the area of computing, and am growing weary of this. I'm also now working one day a week as a chaplain at the same university.
I meditate each day in the wee small hours of the morning, as recommended by Edgar Cayce.
I have a degree in Psychology, and have completed IKON diplomas in Transpersonal Counselling and Transpersonal Art Therapy with Phoenix Institute, here in Victoria, Australia. However, I'm not practicing as a counsellor at this time. I also have a postgraduate qualification in computing, a teaching qualification, and a project management qualification.
I'm very interested in Ken Wilber and his AQAL Integral theories, and the way that they are being taken up in the world.
In the last few months I'm realising more and more that my passion, since I was very young (and apart from the spiritual yearning - which I am sure is a part of all of us) is art and architecture. So I want to do more of this. I'm currently doing an art class one day a week.
