A number of years ago, I was initiated into the Star of the North Temple in Toronto, ON. I was involved with the T.'.O.'.T.'. for over a decade, from Star of the North, through to Avalon Pronaos.
I started experiencing medical issues in 2001, and by 2005 I was unable to continue working. At around that time, I decided to leave the T.'.O.'.T.'. It was a decision that never really sat well with me.
What I didn't understand, and only became obvious later, was the fact that my mental capacity had been greatly diminished by sleep deprivation. I was suffering from Sleep Apnea, which has since been diagnosed and is now being treated.
I'm still not working, and am struggling with Anxiety Disorder and other side-affects of those years spent without proper sleep, but I am now involved in a number of different treatment programs and have started the recovery process.
One of my biggest issues is that I have become disconnected from the world. Since this is really my truest interest and most important belief-systems, I would like to find friends here and start chatting with people here.
I want to try to reconnect with people in the T.'.O.'.T.'. and see what I can do to try and start my training over again. Since I formally resigned, I would have to start from scratch - but since its been so long, that's really for the best.
For now, I just want to connect with people here and chat.
Thanks for reading and hopefully I'll be talking with you soon!
