Energizing Excursion.

Earlier this week while I was working outside on my never-ending construction projects here on my retirement property, it occurred to me that the weather was perfect for a hike I’ve been wanting to do for some time. By choice, I live in an area with prime hiking trails and magnificent natural beauty. The problem is I get so wrapped up in working on my property improvement projects, that I rarely take advantage of the many adventures that beckon all around me. This week I decided to give myself a day off and treat myself to some life-force recharging time.

After doing a quick safety check and making an adjustment, I loaded up my motorcycle with my cameras, some water and trail mix to hold me through the day. Then I headed out through the gate, down the bumpy dirt road to the highway that would lead me through the Coconino National Forest. As the road climbs above 7000 feet in elevation you can see Birch and Aspen trees displaying their Fall colors amidst the Douglas Fir and Ponderosa Pine.

After a quick stop in Flagstaff for some gas, I was on my way to Highway 89A and the Oak Creek Canyon. The descent into the canyon is quite harrowing but the reward is the lush green foliage of the trees that grow along Oak Creek. At this time of the year, a special treat is the colorful turning leaves as summer gives way to autumn.

The particular trail that was my destination is called The West Fork of Oak Creek and it’s known to be the most popular trail in the Sedona/Flagstaff area. I thought that by going during the week, I might have a chance at scoring a spot in the Forest Service parking lot next to the trail, but alas, it was full and I was forced to park on the side of the road about a mile from the trailhead and hike on over.

The weather was perfect (mid 80’s) and the trail lived up to its reputation for beauty. The west fork of Oak Creek wanders down out of Secret Mountain Wilderness under towering red sandstone and white limestone cliffs, some of which ascend over a thousand feet high. Fall is the most popular time for hikers as red, orange, yellow and green leaves adorn the trees that are interspersed between the tall pines making it feel like nature is throwing a festival!

As the trail meandered back into the shade of the canyon it became delightfully cool and there was a wonderful scent of pine forest mixed with autumn leaves. The creek provided a freshness and feeling of serenity. If it wasn’t for the many conversations of the other hikers on the trail, I would have easily slipped into a meditation walk, as I often do when hiking in nature. I found myself slipping away to secluded spots down little side trails to get a few moments of solitude. However, that’s not to say I resented the other hikers; most of the people were very friendly and greeted me warmly. I enjoyed meeting them and the way the trail crossed the creek many times creating little meeting spots as people waited their turn to cross. I was glad I wore my old shoes as it was near impossible not to accidentally get wet feet while hopping from one slippery stone to another.

I took my time and made many stops to take pictures, enjoy the natural beauty and meditate on the power of creative intention. I came to the realization that those who truly appreciate a place like Sedona were most likely the ones who manifested it into existence from the energetic plane. I know that it’s been a great source of inspiration for many who have visited from all over the world. After my hike I felt very relaxed and connected to nature and Source Energy. I feel grateful that I moved myself away from big city matrix life and into an area that abounds with such natural splendor and spiritual power. I promise myself to make more time to partake of it! Anyone want to join me for a hike?

Listen to a 4:31 minute sample of MENTAGENESIS.


My latest book proposes alternative views on human history, extraterrestrial involvement, and societal manipulation. We explore ancient civilizations, discovering lost technologies and hidden truths about humanity’s past and future potential. My research suggests that remnants of advanced technologies exist worldwide. These remnants challenge the accepted historical narrative that minimizes our connection to these civilizations.

This book advocates for expanded consciousness and challenges societal norms imposed by a controlling elite. I also include over 250 full color images. I dare say, anyone who reads it with an open mind will have their beliefs about ancient history challenged! Their views on contemporary history will be challenged too. This is not only a book about manipulated history, but also about how our beliefs shape our current reality.

Thank you in advance for supporting the cause of full disclosure! – Daniel


And finally, for Children of all ages, I wrote a book. It teaches in a fun and humorous way. It explains the concepts of being curious, open-minded, and a critical thinker. It explore the variety of ocean creatures.

Finnegan is a fish in the Great Wide Ocean who goes on a journey to see all he can of his watery world. He encounters many colorful characters along the way. Then he has an encounter that causes him to question the things he’s been taught in school. He and his Angelfish friend Gabby begin to explore the idea that there may be more to the world than the wet one they live in.

Many full color illustrations to captivate your youngster’s imagination. Takes approximately 10 minutes for an adult to read. Great for those bedtime stories!
