Growing up on a dairy farm in southeastern Indiana, Gary traveled very little until midlife, when the opportunity became available to him.

Grabbing his camera and a bag full of equipment, he began his vision quest traveling to most areas of the United States and several countries abroad.

Along the way he collected several thousand photographs that he wants to share with everyone.

Gary decided the best way to accomplish his goal was to publish photo documentaries on the various areas of the world he has visited.

What will follow will be several photography books, who knows how many will wind up in his collection.

San Juan Puerto Rico: San Cristobal

The beautiful island of Puerto Rico

Castillo San Cristobal,also known as Fort San Cristobal, is a fort in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It was built by Spain to protect against land based attacks on the city of San Juan. It is part of San Juan National Historic Site.

San Cristobal

Castillo San Cristobal is the largest fortification built by the Spanish in the New World. When it was finished in 1783, it covered about 27 acres of land and basically wrapped around the city of San Juan. Entry to the city was sealed by San Cristobal’s double gates. After close to one hundred years of relative peace in the area, part of the fortification (about a third) was demolished in 1897 to help ease the flow of traffic in and out of the walled city.

El Morro

This fortress was built on a hill originally known as the Cerro de la Horca or the Cerro del Quemadero, which was changed to Cerro de San Cristóbal in celebration of the Spanish victories ejecting English and Dutch interlopers from the island of this name in the Lesser Antilles, then forming part of the insular territorial glacis of Puerto Rico.

View from San Cristobal

Castillo de San Cristóbal (Fort San Cristóbal) also contains five cisterns that were used for the storage of water during the ages of the Spanish Colony. They are extremely large (24ft tall, 17ft wide and 57ft long) and were used as bomb shelters during World War II. They could be used for a future war again with some refurbishments.

What are Soul Mates

A journey into the unknown. Open new avenues in your spiritual journey

Written by Gary Wonning

We are often asked, “What are soul mates?”

Soul mates are souls that are on the same level of evolution and most often have lived many lifetimes together in one form of relationship or another. They have traveled many paths together and often recognize each other at first meeting. 

There are many reasons soul mates meet and come together. Soul mates come together to perform some life learning experience, assisting each other in that mission.  We often think of it as a boy/girl, husband/wife, or some romantic situation. 

Many times this is not the case, that sort of relationship is the strongest because male and female energy is combined, however working and platonic love relationships sometimes can be just as satisfying and accomplish what they came to earth to perform. 

Even though the energy is the strongest when male and female energies are combined, the energy can be strong when two souls of equal vibrational or evolution levels are similar, regardless of sexual orientation.

 On earth, there are different vibrational levels for male and female, in the spirit world all souls are androgynous.

The sexual preference is  determined when the soul decides to incarnate, and because we are without our “other” half, a sense of longing is created and thus our need to procreate is satisfied and the species continues. Without that desire, the human race would quickly die out and become extinct. 

We all can and normally do have many different types of soul mates, normally we will meet many of them during an incarnation.  The number can be infinite. As a soul becomes more evolved the number of soul mates can become limited, as fewer souls have evolved to the higher levels. 

The number of soul mates we meet in an incarnation can vary depending on what we incarnate to learn or accomplish. Often times, our mission is to learn to live without soul mates in our reality. 

In that instance, the soul may be learning that love can exist at any level and the soul is learning to be happy without the aid of a soul mate, discovering that we can love  souls from a higher or lower vibration, sort of like being alone in a strange town or environment and making new friends from different culture or ethnic groups. 

The soul is learning that love can exist between souls with a different vibration than their own, learning that love is what connects all.

Gary has been a writer/photographer for over thirty years. Specializing in nature and landscape photography, while studying native cultures.

His travels have taken him to most of the United States, as well as Australia, Belize, Egypt and the Canary Islands.

He has studied the Mayan culture of Central America and the aborigines of

Australia. Photography has given him the opportunity to observe life in various parts of the world.

He has observed that many of the forgotten cultures had spiritual beliefs that were stronger than ours in modern times.

While we have advanced technically far superior to those that came before us, we have lagged behind in spiritual knowledge.

For us to advance as the human race, we need to combine the spiritual knowledge of those that came before us, not only that of the ancients but the knowledge of our direct ancestors as well, with the technical knowledge we have today for us to propel into the twenty-first century and beyond.

The Purpose of Life; Can We Change our Destiny?

The Tree of Life

Written by Gary Wonning

Can the purpose of a life, which has been set before incarnation, be changed during that life?

For example can you change your life pla to achieve a greater purpose by helping more people?

You are continuously changing your life by your actions. We each come in with a plan that has been determined before birth, a destiny we have each decided with the help of our guides and angels while we were in the presence of the tree of life. 

We also discuss all the different possible outcomes and paths we may take once we incarnate, nothing is written in stone, it can and will be changed once we enter the physical body. 

The changes in direction is determined not only by what we do , but also by what others around us do or accomplish.  There are always many alternate paths we can take, some of which is determined as to how much we change our vibration once in physical form. 

We can get so wrapped up in the issues of earthly life that we lower our vibrations and begin attraction those souls of a lower life form and we sink lower in evolution.

Likewise, if we suddenly wake up and realize what we are doing and once again follow our predetermined path, our vibrations will once again raise and consequently the universe will once again assist us in accomplishing our higher good. 

Occasionally, especially as we grow older, we may have doubts as to whether we are following our life plan, and many times we believe we should be doing more. This is the time to look back to contemplate what kind of life we have lead so far. In life one step normally follows another and if we have lead a rather normal life with not much fanfare, that is probably the kind of life we will continue to lead, not everyone who learns will be teaching thousands, many times we lead a quiet life so as to enable us to learn deep meaningful lessons without the interruptions of a high profile life. 

Sometimes this can be harder than being in the limelight, especially if we learn we have led influential lives in the past. All souls need lifetimes of rest, one doesn’t need to do it all. 

Many times we need to stand back and let others lead.

It is a normal tendency to share with others what we learn, if that is God’s Will the opportunity will present itself, if it doesn’t don’t fret over it, just go on with life. 

Many times, the learning is a personal event and it doesn’t need to be shared with others. That is part of the learning.

Sedona Beginnings

 

Written by Gary Wonning

Sedona had rather humble beginnings, settled in the early 20th century, Sedona was named for Sedona Arabella Miller Schnebly. 

Sedona was always known for her hospitality and industriousness, her mother ,Amanda Miller claimed to have made the name up because it sounded pretty.

Sedona’s parents were Phillip and Amanda Miller., she married Carl T. Schnebly on her 20^th birthday in Gorin, Missouri. 

They eventually were the parents of six children. In 1901, they moved to Oak Creek Canyon and after two years of hard labor, they opened the first store, the first hotel, which Sedona ran, the first truck farm and the post office, and so the town began. 

Little did anyone know of the mysterious history of the town or the legends that wold surface.

Clinton Meets the Pope

Clinton Meets the Pope

During his visit to the United States the Pope met with President Clinton. Instead of just an hour as scheduled, the meeting went on for two days.

Finally, a weary President Clinton emerged to face the waiting news media. The President was smiling and announced the summit was a resounding success.

He said he and the Pope agreed on 80% of the matters they discussed.

Then Mr. Clinton declared he was going home to the White House to be with his family.

A few minutes later the Pope came out to make his statement.

He looked tired, discouraged and was practically in tears. Sadly he announced
his meeting with the President was a failure.

Incredulous, one reporter asked, “But your Holiness, President Clinton just announced the summit was a great success and the two of you agreed on 80% of the items discussed”.

Exasperated, the Pope answered, “Yes, but we were talking about the Ten Commandments.”

Love in The Pleiadian World

A new world is evolving

It seems the Pleiadians have brought the most to our  planet and our way of life than any other groups of extraterrestrials or travelers have contributed.

They have brought most of the common sense ideas and laws that we still use today.  They bought the ideas of justice, equality and love to our planet. To them, we owe much.

There are as many definitions of love as there are people on the planet, love can be defined as when an individual offers themselves for the spiritual growth of another.   For the Pleiadians, love is not a word or an idea but a way of life. Their entire culture is based on upon love and justice. A love that is mature and not childish; a love that is wise and intelligent; a love that is in harmony with Creation.

Truth in the Pleiadian World

A New World is Evolving

Pleiadians honor truth and are more interested in truth than they are about being right.

By aligning themselves with universal truths, the Pleiadians have evolved to a high level of spirituality. This means that the ego has been conquered to the point that it does not obstruct the evolution of the individual.

How many times, if ever, have we asked ourselves, “Do I want to be right or do I want to be at peace”? The answer to this question may change over time depending on where we are on our individual journeys.

For those who are put off by the words spiritual or spirituality, let me explain what I mean. Indeed the terms are so over used that I too get tired of hearing them. Some people act as if spirituality is a cloak one puts on or takes off depending on their mood or circumstances. Nothing could be further from the truth. When I speak of spiritual evolution or spirituality, I am speaking of the cultivation of one’s inner life.

I am speaking of the cultivation of one’s conscience as a moral standard that one chooses to live by, to enhance their authenticity, and their integrity in order to become more whole and less fragmented in their day to day lives. I am speaking of the cultivation or development of the Self. I hope this helps you to understand what I am trying to convey. I encourage you to not allow let the word get in the way of the message. There are many different ways to express what I am trying to say so if the word spiritual triggers you, then you may have something to explore. Do not let words get in the way of what we are trying to evolve into— a more loving, forgiving, excepting, and peace loving human race. Truth is the essence of who we are!

Equality in the Pleiadian World

 

A New World is Evolving

Pleiadians say that because the entire universe is the manifestation of Creation, of Oneness, all beings are equal.

Some beings are more evolved than others, but all are children of Creation. Many are more evolved because they have lived many lifetimes and have had more life experience.

All men and women are equal as some souls have been born men and women in various lifetimes.

Men and women are treated equally in Pleiadian society. Social ranking in their society is based on spiritual, there’s that word again, evolvement. Total racial equality exists among them, not only in phenotype and skin color but also between humans and non-humans.

This is the way of Creation and it has been a tough lesson for us to learn here on planet Earth.
