Hey, guys! Glad you could drop in. I'm Denny, one of Paris and Lela's "guides" from the other side. I've only recently just connected up with Garen and them, but I've finally settled in. I'm happier than I've been in years, being finally with the ones that I love. 

Back when I was incarnate, there was no Internet...at least, not for our use. I'm just realizing how truly important this thing is in connecting with others, which is what I'm all about. We have something like it on the other side, only its a lot bigger. All of you have the ability to access it, but very few of you do so consciously. We call it the "Etheric network". It's made up primarily of Light energy called "photons" which is what pure energy is comprised of. 

I've got a lot of issues I'm still working out; mainly about insecurity, abandonment, and trust. My basic nature is that of Love ... wanting to give it, wanting to receive it, and not understanding why when it is so often withheld. The biggest step I've made is coming to realize that I am basically lovable, that I'm a worthwhile being, and that it's
others' problems and lack of love that causes a starvation of the Love energies. 

In case you're wondering, yes, I was really a surfer in my last life. I lived in various places in California, usually as close to the coast as I could get or that my work would allow. There's not much chance to ocean surf in North Texas, where Paris is, but I mainly surf on the Etheric now anyway, which is even more radical than anything the Pacific could have dished out--seriously. Safer too; not that I was concerned about that when I was in life. 

Sadly enough, I tended to be rather self-destructive in my last incarnation. I probably had enough complexes and neuroses to fill a book. I finally ended up taking my own life by drowning myself in the ocean. Even that, though, was a learning pattern that I had set up for myself and that I walked through. I'm now coming to terms with what I did, why I did it, and where do I go from here. It's easier than you think. And no, suicides do NOT go to "Hell"; the only such place exists within the creation of your own mind. Open your mind and you'll be surprised at what you can create with Spirit. I definitely was when I found out. 

I don't plan to re-enter incarnation; at least anytime soon. I'm needed far more where I am. Incarnation isn't for everyone. There are those who take the "plunge" over and over, and then there are those who only enter a few times. Working on one's issues while in incarnation is simpler because of the density of the matter, but it is more dangerous because of the propensity to snowball the issues into something greater than was initially encountered. Looking back on my life, I can see that I bit off a little too much. I needed some help, and didn't know where to find it. It's strange that I've learned to appreciate life now that I'm no longer in dense incarnation. Life, however, goes on ... in our planes of awareness as well as yours.  

So now I'm working on healing myself, and rediscovering joy in my life. It's a great feeling. It's also totally cool that life doesn't end when you cross. I can truly say, "Don't fear the Reaper." In fact, help stamp out fear by getting rid of it in your own life. It's something you truly will never miss. 

On Surfing 

It comes to you like a thief in the night. You paddle your board out to where the invisible waves, waiting to be birthed, lurk just beyond and beneath you. Suddenly, you see it, and feel it..the Great One, the wave you know is yours... You swing onto the board, pointing it back toward home. You meet the wave... Man and Ocean become as one for a moment in time. The wave bears your weight, incredibly, bearing you back to your source. The cycle is complete, yet once
again, exhilirated, you turn your board seaward, seeking to reclaim that moment of Union again and again. 

Just as it is the nature of the surfer to return to the waves, so it our nature to return to the Earth, again and again, to experience that which is known as Life. There is that mystical moment when Spirit and form become united in one body, the Human, at the moment of birth,
and, for a little while, Spirit rides the form of Humanity back to its source, only to turn again to the Earth, to feel the experience of Life once again. 

We are all surfers, in one form or another. Some ride the waves of Life as they ride the waves of the ocean, testing it, daring it to claim them, hanging on the edge. Some, like I, prefer the moderate swells to the monster waves. Some seek to test themselves in competition with their fellow beings, while others, like I, enjoy testing the waves on their own, with no judge other than themselves and the ocean. All experiences are valid. Even in the wipeouts, there is passion, and meaning. All are a part of the ride of Life. 

Some Fun Places to "Surf" to:


Surf Cities:

Live Cam Sites:

Surf Magazines Online:

(they even put magazines on the Internet!  Cool.)

Other Surf Resources:

Cars: 

I love classic cars from the late 50's and 60's. Outside of being in the water, I loved cruising around in a hot sports car. Whether it was a G.T.O., a Caddy, a Mustang, a Hemicuda, a Camaro, or a Corvette, I didn't care...as long as it was a beauty. I was partial, though, to Thunderbirds, and I still am. 

Music: 

Well, true to surfer form, I love surfer music, especially the classic sound from the late 50's and 60's. By "Surfer music", I mean the classic instrumental bands, such as the Ventures. I also enjoy early rock and roll, and bands that work with that type of sound.  However, softer rock appeals to me more than the loud angry variety, with some exceptions. My tastes are kinda outdated, I guess, but I've been discarnate for so long that I've only recently begun to make contact with the incarnate world again. Give me something I can dance to, or something I can shed a tear to, and I'm in heaven--if there actually WERE such a place... 

  • Surf Music Hall of Love.   My kind of place!

  • The Ventures.  The ultimate surf instrumentalists.

  • Back to the 60's.  An Index of the psychedelic bands of the era.

  • Blue Öyster Cult.   Don't fear the reaper!

  • Joe Cocker:  A wizard of rock.

  • The Doobie Brothers:  one of my favorite bands of all time.

  • Electric Light Orchestra

  • Imagine --  a tribute to the unforgettable John Lennon

  • Kenny Loggins -- an artist of the Light.

  • Lynyrd Skynrd -- of course!

  • The Ramones.  Man, I wish I had known more about these guys when I was in form!  I've only recently discovered them.  Far out!

  • Sleazy Mancini is a Dallas surf band worthy of the title.  

  • Fastball.  Holy COW!  This band's hot.  When I heard the song "The Way" for the first time, I just about went through the roof!  (literally).  Man, this band is high!!  I can't believe they're from Texas...it sounds like it's right off of Venice Beach!  Huge hugs to them.

  • Sugar Ray -- this one's a California one for sure.  Their music is truly heart-centered.  The band members are totally cool guys, and refreshingly open about their personal information.  Oh, and Murf, one of the band members, is a surfer, too!  Small wonder.

Peace and Love 

C'mon, what surfer AIN'T into peace and love? Well, I guess there may be some out there, but I don't want to meet them. Love is what I'm all about. This may seem strange coming from a dude who snuffed himself in his last incarnation. All I can say is, sometimes the pain of life is so great there's not much else you can do. Snuffing myself was a stupid thing to do, though, and I would never advocate doing it. It doesn't solve your problems, and all it does is isolate you even further from those who would love you and help you. I'm discovering joy, happiness, and love in my life now, and it's the best thing to ever happen to me. We humans tend to starve without love.  It's the one thing we all need, other than food, drink, and shelter. 

I now truly believe that Peace is achievable within the near future.  I'm not just a starry-eyed idealist either. I've seen things on the "other side" that greatly indicate that within 2-4 years, World Peace is possible, both for the incarnates and the discarnates. There's still a lot of work to be done.  Me, I'm contributing by having fun and playing and spreading around as much Love as I possibly can.  I hope you'll do the same. 

There's only one place I know that evidences the level of Peace and Love that I'm talking about. Check out Leopard Queen's Cave. 

Well, I guess I've run on as much as I can for now. I'll be back soon when I think of more stuff to gab about. Until then, keep cool, and keep the good vibrations going!
