Changing My Life

During this time off of work, I've been thinking about my Life and all aspects within. Now that I have time, I can fix the things that need fixed. I look around and notice my Life is crowded, cluttered and unorganized...my thoughts, my room, the storage units that my beloved Lucille is housed, my youtube channel, this blog and other things. I have too much stuff! I need to clear it out!

From My Personal Facebook...

On this day 4-13-16, I, Rev. Clifford Frank Perry Jr. shall live the life I was called to live since I was a small child. For the most part I have been, but lacking the perseverance to keep with it...that stops today. 

Today marks the eleventh (11th) anniversary of my son Nathaniel Tristan's death. My heart remains heavy with sadness of his passing...a feeling nobody should feel. However, I must move forward. I am a wounded healer, and wish to help those that are wounded themselves.

I've been an Ordained Minister since 2011 but  haven't really been acting like it. I've been smoking, drinking, cussing, fighting and just being an asshole in general. At least I'm honest with what I do, compared to a lot of other Pastors that hide it, acting "Holier Than Thou". Meanwhile they're out doing worse things than you! I guess I humanise "the cloth". Which is what we are...HUMAN.

I've always been drawn to Priests, Shamans, Witchdoctors, Preachers and all other Holy People since childhood. When I was fifteen I started exploring other religions/belief systems, because I've always known there is more than what I was being told. Buddhism was the first one. My mother was very upset with this. I guess it challenged her own beliefs.  IDK... Seven years ago when I turned thirty, I had a strong urge to explore Shamanism. Which lead to Animism and Pantheism. I figured that both of them combined was Shamanism. 

     

With the studying of a wide variety of religions/beliefs, it lead me to the very essence of them all...LOVE. Yes Love...that's what they all say. However most people just hate on each other while claiming whatever faith. Strange...

I consider myself a Shamanic Practitioner/Eclectic Male Witch with heavy Buddhist/Tao/Zen leanings. I use the title of "Reverend" to make things easier on people. Yes I said "witch". If I say, "I'm a witch!" most folks freak out, but if I say "Reverend" they're more at ease. Yet some just stay clear...especially if I'm wearing my shirt. 

Now with my free time I can focus on music and all my other creative things...photography, videography,writing blog posts, etc. Driving a truck took all my time, and I always felt bad that I couldn't do the things I want to do, but now I can. :D 

I'm living a more positive Life and being guided by Spirit. I have the strong urge to do this. So it's what I gotta do. You'll see it in my youtube videos, this blog and my LIKE page on Facebook. I'll be posting all and anything of a Spiritual nature, as well as my usual stuff.

I think I wrote enough for now. Until next time...KEEP ROCKIN'!
