This website is an integration of the many parts that make up me. I have tried to organise the site to be coherent and simplistic but to bring so many different disciplines together is not easy.

I'm a diverse person, a 41 in numerology, a 5 soul and 5 personality number, the hierophant in tarot and a natal sun conjunct a retrograde mercury and direct pluto, all three sitting in my first house in Western astrology.

This is a personal website so no holes barred or reservations about who I am.

Because I am such a diverse person I have different websites for my interests. I built this site to incorporate all the different websites and you will see I have integrated these seperate sites into page frames and provide a link at the bottom of each page. If you click on "links" on the bottom menu you will also get a list of direct links to these sites.

It has been quite challenging to build this site and bring all elements together. I looked at the site and asked myself - there are astronomers who don't like to associate with astrology. There is the world of arts who display no interest in the less theatrical world of science.

To the scientific community, dress, music, art and aesthetic values are of less priority. I wondered if photos of me dressed as a provocative cop would deter from my academic abilities and inteligence. I also wondered if my creative abilities would make one question my scientific strengths. However I realisedthat there is a strength in such varied ability.

To study and write about philospohy of mind and then create and design a flash website, to create an oil painting and then sit in a lab studying molecular biology, to practice esoterical subjects and complete successful tarot readings for strangers to then scoring music - creating hip-hop one day to classical the next and then be analysing parts of the brain and neuro-structuring.

This should be something I am proud of not something I should hide. To speak the language of an artist, scientist, philosopher and mystic is a gift indeed. The ability to enter into such diverse disciplines and understand them is something I now enjoy.
I think that innovation is created from combining and comparing seemingly contrasting subjects. There are similarities to be found in many disciplines regardless of the perceived differences.

Life is not compartmentalised and neither are people. There are some people who don't fit into any box and who are able to achieve good work in seemingly diverse un-connected fields of study.

If someone looked at how I dress and then wanted to make an assumption of my academic abilities, or someone wanted to laugh at my scientific studies because I study numerology or perhaps didn't believe my artistic capabilities because I study the brain then so be it but I always say products speak for themself.

I think one should not hide their ability but rather communicate their strengths.  have found in this life it is the people with the most ability who are normally the most reserved in expressing such qualities while those with the lesser ability seem to shout the loudest.
