I grew up in the shadow of the great mysteries. As a child, I was told not to touch the deep maps of the soul until I was forty. So, I spent twenty years looking for the light everywhere else—in success, in shamanism, in the external world.
I had to get lost to realize that the “gatekeepers” weren’t trying to hide the truth; they were protecting the vessel. Now, at 45, I have returned to the Source.
The Mission: Internal Authority The Light Within is a space for spiritual and life guidance. My goal is to help you move from being a victim of circumstance to becoming the Source of your own life.
Ask Oriya (Q&A and Guidance) This publication is built on your questions. I answer reader emails and messages through writing and video, applying “Indigenous Technology”—the ancient wisdom of the Sages—to your actual life. Whether it’s relationships, purpose, or the “crazy work” of the inner world, we navigate it together.
My Sources My work is grounded in the lineage of Jewish Mysticism, but stripped of the religious performance. I also lead From Kedem, a project translating the works of Israeli teacher Ruth Kedem. You will see her insights woven into my guidance as a primary map for our work.
