A few things I know for myself (even if I forget):
My thoughts create my experience. Anything we set our mind to shall come to pass. All things are connected. The universe is speaking clearly to everyone all the time, in every possible way. All people are worthy of attention and love from someone, no matter what. Kindness is one of the best things. It feels good to help people, and doing so makes my own troubles smaller. The more I listen to my inner voice, and share what I hear, the brighter and lighter I become.Music

The following authors/books have greatly impacted my life; all have my gratitude:Paulo Coelho:The Witch Of Portobello, The Alchemist, Warrior of the Light, By The River Piedra I Sat Down And Wept, The Valkyries, Veronika Decides to Die, The Zahir and all his work.
Richard Bach: Illusions, The Bridge Across Forever, One, Jonathan Livinston Seagull, Curious Lives (changed my life at 17).
Michael Ondaatje: In The Skin Of A Lion.
Joseph Campbell (mythologist): his life and works, particularly The Power Of Myth, A Joseph Campbell Companion, and The Wisdom Of Joseph Campbell--Audio-interviews with Michael Toms (Many religions, many myths, one message; Campbell ties them all together).
Jack Kerouac: On The Road, Desolation Angels, Dharma Bums, Poems.
Ram Dass: Be Here Now (Will rattle your mind in it's shackles), and Journey Of Awakening: A Meditator's Guidebook (A true handbook for just sitting there).
Bhagavan Das: It's Here Now (Are You?) ... A Spiritual Memoir, (Autobiography of an American youth who bums his way around the world and ends up becoming a famous Saddhu in India. Returning years later to the US, he mixes with the beat poets and spiritual leaders of the 60s and 70s. All the darkest times, with equal lucidity and no judgement. Stunning. Inspired my journey to the sub-continent.)
Robin Sharma: The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, Leadership Wisdom, Who Will Cry When You Die?, The Greatness Guide, to name a few.
www.robinsharma.comNick Bantock: The Griffin and Sabine books, The Venician's Wife.
Mitch Albom: Tuesdays With Morrie.
Herman Hesse : Siddhartha (the story of Buddha), Narcissus and Goldmund, Steppenwolf.
Rabindranath Tagore: poems.
Michael Crichton: Travels (his autobiography up to 1988. This book launched my life. His best).
Robert M. Pirsig: Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintainance, Lila (Essay-like dissertations intertwined with his tale of life, innate universal morality, the meaning of value, and the fallacy of conventional theories of education).
Wayne Dyer: Your Sacred Self, Manifest Your Destiny, The Power of Intention, audio material, Hay House radio show.
Marianne Williamson: A Return To Love. (A key book in understanding some of the deeper truths at the bedrock of Christianity).
John Wyndham: The Chrysalids
Julia Cameron: The Artist's Way (Put simply, this book unblocked my creativity. Everything that has unfolded for me creatively in the past five years is a result of processes in that book. Most everyone who finishes this book/experience raves about it. For more, go to: The Artist's Way Group on Facebook.)
Heroes
An addition to the writers above, a number of others also have my gratitude for their inspiring presence or influence on my life:Steve Sims (For being an inspired and unconditionally loving soul, and for leading by example.)
Jen (For wonderous beauty, love, support and wisdom. For the challenges. For pointing the way home.)
Chris Horton (For trial by fire. For: "power can only be given, it can never be taken away".)
Fred Larsen and Joanna McEwen (For unwavering creative support.)
Jack Johnson (For positive, inspiring music.)
Sarah Harmer (For a list of things that moved her that inspired my own.)
Bono (For taking on the world.)
Gandhi (For being a living, breathing example of the way.)
Alanis Morrisette (For humble introspection in the face of fame and creative success.)
Whatever invisible spirit-guide taught me how to play the guitar, if only a little. It's a miracle that yields miracles, everyday.
James Cameron (For saying once, "The only way to see the film I want to see is to make it," and inspiring my twelve year old self to bigger things.)
Obama.
Baba Bijayanand Das (A selflessly loving saddhu I met on the banks of the Ganges at Varanasi, who wanders now, somewhere in India.)
All of the people I've met, befriended and aquainted in my travels. Each moment of space-time we've shared has been a blessing, even if, occasionally, a disguised one.
My friends, past, present and future, for all they've taught me.
All those people who've ever taken the leap, not knowing where they would land, just that they wanted to see what was on the other side.

WELCOME TO WWW.MYSPACE.COM/JEREMIAH_HILL:

Sing. Sing to life. Sing to love. Sing to God. But sing. Give your emotion up to the world around you. It's there for a reason. It's your gift. Share it.
Fear doesn't mean back down. It means move. It means act. Now. It's fuel. Where are you going to channel it? Into your retreat, or in the direction that you really want to go? I'll tell you something about retreat: that safe place you knew before? It doesn't exist anymore. There is only one direction, and that's forward. Otherwise, you die. In one way or another, you die.
I am a multi-disciplined artist currently focused in photography, poetry and occasionally music. For the past five years, I've spent the bulk of my time living, traveling and exploring Asia. At present, I live in Seoul, South Korea. Dreaming of a journey through India since 1999, it was a matter of trial and error before I finally convinced myself to take the leap. In 2003, I left North Amercia for the first time, bound for Korea and a contract to teach English. A year later, the experience had paved the way for a two month excursion through South East Asia before finally landing on Indian soil for the first time in the late part of 2004. These wanderings inspired and changed my life. Along the way I picked up my first digital camera in the backstreets of Kuala Lumpur. Images started pouring out. In the same way, words began to flow to me in the form of poems. I also picked up a guitar and started playing and singing for the first time. More specifically, my travels have lead me though Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Malasyia, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Indonesia, and Japan. I've also returned twice to both India (a year in total) and Korea. I hold a degree in film production from York University, in Toronto. Selections from my Travel Photography portfolio can be seen on the slideshow at the top of this page. To read some of my written work, follow the links below. You can also scroll down to view my paintings, quotes I've found helpful, video content, and links. Thank you for your visit. May my 'space' and work be of some service or inspiration to you. I wish you many adventures along the road ahead. THE FUTURE: I am in the final editing stages of a photography-poetry book about my first time in India.

VIDEO OF INTEREST
Physicist Brain Swimme has focused his studies in gravitational dynamics and the evolutionary dynamics of the universe. Here, he talks about our world being in the gap between the old, scattered mythologies and a new, world mythology--one that actually applies to us. An inspiring merger of science and spirituality. This is part 1 of many. DEDICATION: As your path crosses mine in this journey we share, may this 'space' be of some inspiration or service to you. Namaste

Who I'd like to meet:
Everyone in my Heroes and Books lists whom I haven't already met. Anyone who is alive, in spirit and inspiring, or seeking in that direction. Travelers. Wanderers. Innovators. Artists and walkers along The Artist's Way.
Saddhus, gurus and so-called enlightened beings.
People who have realized their dreams. People who have sacrificed their life and comfort for the road of small steps toward their dreams. People willing to die for what they love. People who don't know what they want from life yet, but would like to find out.
People to photograph, publishers, literary agents, like-minded creative souls, actors, writers, photographers, directors, visual artists, musicians and anyone with whom I've lost touch with and haven't seen in a while.
I am using this web venue as a networking resource.

Imagine yourself...journeying into an ancient cave hidden in the mountains or hiking along a pristine, freshwater river thatleads to miles of awe-inspiring waterfalls. See yourself exploring sustainability in one of the most lush, biodiverse regions of the world. CAMP CABARITA, is a private eco retreat that transports you to the purity of nature. This is not the typical tourist area of Jamaica. This is The Hidden Jamaica.
You are invited to join international spiritual teachers Timothy Earle and Pamela Bliss on a 6 day/5 night journey. Leave your civilized life behind for a powerfully transformative experience that will open your heart, clear your mind and renew your spirit; changing your life forever. In this learning vacation, we will explore our inner and outer world through daily meditation, yoga, journaling, group excursions to amazing secret areas, and council gatherings around the campfire to close each day. Of course, there will be plenty of free time to swing in the hammock and sip from coconuts under the Caribbean sky. Discover Jamaica's natural beauty, tropical adventures and pure fun, for this once in a lifetime opportunity! Honor the yearning of your soul's desire to venture safely into the wild. Isn't NOW the time to choose a powerfully transformative experience in the name of a better you?Timothy and Pamela have served individuals, families and groups in personal growth and self-transformation with over twenty years of combined expertise.
Timothy and Pamela were among those blessed to participate in the Tensheug Ceremony held in Madison, Wisconsin where they received formal teachings from His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Both were blessed to receive the empowerments and initiations and have taken the vows of the Bodhisattva's Way of Life.Timothy and Pamela have dedicated their lives toward the expansion and awakening of the world. www. yogasylum. com
