      My Journey in Social Media

    • 16 July 1957. I am now 63 years old.

       

      A retiree ... and a college student, again. I began my post high school education, back in 1975, at the University of Texas in Austin. On a full academic scholarship, no less. But the 'entertainment' world was consistently calling to me and I left my education (and scholarship) to travel with my first musical ensemble in the Spring semester of my Junior Year!

       

      Alas YOUTH!!

       

      So all these years later (45 to be exact) I'm back in school, just finishing two Associate Degrees from Central New Mexico Community College, a Business Administration degree with a concentration in Project Management and an Associate of Applied Science in Integrated Studies, both with Honors. Presently, I'm beginning a combined Bachelor/Masters Liberal Arts program, the University of New Mexico, here in Albuquerque, that I hope to complete in 2023, at the official retirement age of 66.

       

      With this new found knowledge, please take a moment to consider helping me finish that degree, without the need of exorbitant student loans, if you will, but first, peruse My JOURNEY, since leaving college, below.

       

      I promise you, it's an incredible journey and one, dare I say, I would do again .., just this way !!

       

      Thank You, for your kind support.

      #UnFilteredEDEN: EXPERIENCED Encouragement

      _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

      • 35+ years experience in Recovery, Reconciliation and Spiritual Transformation.
      • Musician, Actor, Author, Counselor.

      An actor, published author and recording artist, Brother EDEN is now on a journey to transform all the tributaries of his journey into one succinct message.., and then teach others how to do the same, with their own lives.

       

      As a Spiritual Counselor and Motivator, I enjoy working virtually with creative clients who are 'stuck' either creatively or spiritually and in need of insight, enlightenment and encouragement.

       

      the MESSAGE

      This is not only a NEW DAY.., it's a NEW ERA and these templates of old religious doctrine no longer advance us toward Enlightenment in this present World.

       

      I BELIEVE the answers we all seek will be birthed from our Collective Conversations and the ART we Create. OUR VOICES in their myriad of forms will become Our Salvation from the routine of our selfish lives and pursuits. This is not a doctrinal change, just a shift in my understanding of The Great Commission. We have to share more and especially with those that we have been led to believe we have less in common with. It's this very separation of thoughts and ideas that has kept us from truly moving forward as a whole.

       

      My journey has begun to find methods and means to create this collective, virtually, and eventually, in the physical world.

       

      But I need help in doing this. Remember, this sharing of ideas, is the point of this site. I'm equally interested in knowing 'who' reads/listens to me.., and how we can move, collectively, in this world in tandem and apart, toward a common call.

      the MISSION

      I'm in a transition. My previous work in film, tv and music was satisfying.., but not completely fulfilling. I did discover that in every one of those places it was always the people that I encountered that made those excursions worthwhile. Even when I started my own talent agency, I found that I spent more time listening and counseling than I did, creating work. So, this transition I'm in now, is to find a way to spend more time doing what I feel I do, best, and still survive. I can't travel today to all the places that I feel I can be of service, so I have to use technology to create a platform for others to discover me. This is the beginning of that part of my journey ...

    • the MAN

      He Giveth More Grace, As The Burdens Grow Greater

      All of my creations represent some of the lowest points of my life. Times when I didn't know how I was gonna make it another day.

      Instead of giving up.., and giving in.., I wrote myself to peace, with my poetry (lyrics) and prose.

      I did as my Grandmother had often advised me..,

      'I told the Truth and Shamed the Devil.'

      In short, I took the sting out of my embarrassment, my perceived lack.., and my internal struggles.

       

      Following is a mere sampling of my recorded struggle and journey to find my unique voice and calling.

      The MUSICIAN

      I love all my lyrics, but this one carries a special place in my heart. It's a moment in time, when the right words, found the right arrangement (thank you Reid Anderson: The Bad Plus) and the tune was simply GOD humming in my ear.

       

      Just Listen.

      This is only one song of nearly 50 recorded works. To hear more... check out this Soundcloud page of more of my MUSIC.

       

       

       

       

      On set of The SUNSET LIMITED, sharing with Samuel L. Jackson

      The ACTOR

       

       

      I've had the pleasure of working with Samuel L. Jackson on Freedomland, The Spirit, The Sunset Limited (below) and The Avengers. 

       

       

      EDEN and DENZEL Washington having a chat on set of The Magnificent 7

      and with Denzel Washington on Philadelphia, The Preacher's Wife, American Gangster, He Got Game, The Book of ELI and The Magnificent Seven (>>>>). Each experience was more enlightening than the previous.

       

       

      At all times, and in all things, I'm always a student and I enjoy listening to and interacting with those with even more life experience than my own.

       

      Eventually my intention is use everything I've learned to create uniquely spiritual opportunities for myself and others.

      ... from the DUST of EDEN, Again

      I desired to tell a story that I’ve personally never read. A re-imagining of man’s creation from the book of Genesis, for a generation that has never fully grasped the gospels or shown an interest in them.

      What if there was ‘more’ to the story of man’s beginning? I decided to take a ‘fantasy’ look at Garden of EDEN. What if after Adam’s fall and departure, GOD created another?

       

      “I wish you knew my Father, the way I know Him.., the way I’ve always known Him. In fact, I wish you knew me. Everyone knows Adam, especially after he chose the woman over GOD and the world you live in, now, is in the shape it’s in because of Adam. If only you knew that GOD’s plan for mankind wasn’t abandoned, when Adam left EDEN. If only you knew that GOD created ‘another’ in Adam’s absence. It’s time you knew me.”

       

      Interested in knowing EdenDust? This is my first novel: A Spiritual Fantasy...

      It's all about Angels and Avarice..., and a New Beginning. A New EDEN.

       

      Take a journey into what 'might have been'.., and still might be.

      DESERTATIONS

      Simple GRACE from the DESERT

      "In spite of daily efforts to improve ourselves, we still have many faults. We eliminate one, only to find new shortcomings. We free ourselves from some unwanted involvement, only to find new entanglements. Why is it so hard to find liberation? Because our own minds are the source of our difficulties."

       

      These DESERTATIONS are, by design, Simple Grace from the Desert to aide you in your journey through your particular transition.
