My name is Wayne (Wirs) and for much of my life I worked as a software engineer—sitting at a desk eight hours a day writing code to help huge corporations run their business. Yet at the same time, I was also a very serious spiritual practitioner—following the traditional Eastern path of meditation in my quest for enlightenment.

Fading Toward Enlightenment, a book I am both the photographer and author of, describes my efforts, the setbacks I encountered, insights I experienced and ultimately finding inner peace from the lessons learned. It has a five-star rating on Amazon.

On August 1, 2008, after selling practically everything I owned, I headed out to live the life of a nomad, traveling North America in a second-hand RV. Much of the first six months of this blog covers my initial experiences with this nomadic lifestyle.

During my travels, I wrote three other books (see the sidebar to the right) and have taken literally thousands of photographs, a fraction of which are displayed here.

Enlightenment

Over a three-week period toward the end of August 2009, I awoke to my enlightenment, with my ego finally falling away completely on September 17, 2009 during my Dark Night of the Soul. I recorded these events under the topic Transition. The remainder of this blog is dedicated to helping others understand and awaken to their own enlightenment.
