About Us
Gehenna | What's to tell?
I'm here, I've lived a lot, I read tarot.
I like the cold, dark, stormy days everyone else hates. Women years younger than me call me "chick" and "bab" even though I'm in my thirties. I collect big stompy boots and I don't watch TV. I never cut my hair; I like the wild look. I have a degree in physics and am a Reiki Master -- so science and spirituality DO mix. I take my cues from Khaos, who isn't the anarchist that most people believe her to be... or is it that they just don't understand "anarchy"? ;)
I have an uncanny ability to use the tarot to give people answers to their burning questions, and it's often been said that people leave my parlour feeling a little more guided and a lot less confused. Im incredibly empathic, and very sensitive to various energies, and I like to use my skills and insight to help people make more sense of their world. I've possessed psychic abilities since I was a very young girl. Being hit by lightning aged five could be something to do with that, but it sure sounds spooky!
My specialising in quantum physics, if anything, has cemented my belief in metaphysical phenomena.. but I could wax lyrical for pages and my fingers would get tired of typing long before my mind ran out of stuff to say.
I'm a mom in my spare time, and my hobbies include clearing up after small people, getting up very early and trying to get three of us 800 yards up the road at the same time evey weekday. I like to relax by falling asleep on the sofa. I cook disgustingly sinful brownies and I'll show my love by both heckling and feeding you.
Dirt makes me twitch.
Thats it :)
Palehorse | Since early childhood, Jon has been a seeker, driven by the underlying suspicion that there is more to life, religion and spirituality, and reality itself, than meets the eye. As is often the case however, his senses, abilities and the endless bombardment of questions with which he tormented his poor family were not very well received during those early years, and so most of it was eventually shut down and forgotten. Jon’s entry into the online world in his later teenage years kick-started his spiritual journey and initiated his ongoing study and experimentation with alternative spirituality, theology, metaphysics and personal development. Having gradually learned by this time that his way of thinking and operating is often considered highly unorthodox by most standards (usually by managing to get himself in some sort of trouble); in this case it came to be a powerful asset.
Particularly intrigued by the idea that our experience of the world is determined by our internal makeup, that it’s possible to create our reality by redefining our identity within it, Jon began looking for ways to prove or disprove it to his own satisfaction via direct personal experience. Simultaneously combining the perspectives of mad scientist and mystic, Jon began applying his unique talents for analyzing everything half to death twice over considering a concept from multiple perspectives, taking an idea to all of its logical conclusions, and combining acquired knowledge in creative ways. Upon finding answers to his original questions that he was satisfied with, he soon realized he had raised twice as many new ones in their place. Ever since, he has devoted much of his time to study, regular practice and experimentation with various metaphysical concepts and personal development; his goal being to find out as much as he can about the nature of this thing we call “reality” and what it’s capable of, while having a blast along the way. Life since then has been quite the crazy rollercoaster ride that shows no signs of slowing down, and Jon has discovered and invented many highly effective tools and insights along the way that he now plans on sharing freely through Beyond Within. He hopes to inspire as well as provide visitors with practical information, challenge beliefs and demolish assumptions, all with his typical style of delightfully irreverent humor.
Born in southern California, Jon’s epic journey has led him to counter-colonize the UK. He now lives near Birmingham with Tab. Jon is a Reiki Master and holds a BA in religion. His non-metaphysical hobbies and interests include art, live music, corrupting the British with stereotypical soCal surf-speak for kicks, and crossing out excessive u’s wherever they’re found.
