Hi, I’m Aggeya Renée, and this is my website. Thanks for coming!

So, who the hell am I, and why on Earth should you listen to me? Right? Great question! So let’s see if I can come up with a reasonably great answer for you.

*****

Hmm, let’s see; well… I guess I might as well just start at the beginning. You know – between lives! Because that’s the actual beginning of a lifetime. Right? Setting up our ‘life path blueprint’. Deciding who we want to be. What we want to do. Where we want to go. Who we want to meet. And, most importantly of all – what we want to LEARN!

And then there are all those ‘soul contracts’ we need to arrange, and honor in this lifetime. Because, at least as I remember it, this ‘setting up a new lifetime’ thing is a major hurdle in itself! I’ve always had at least some memory of this process. And it’s not exactly a piece of cake!

Then of course… what about all those ‘life hurdles’ that we tend to so optimistically choose for our ‘maximum growth’? And why do I say ‘optimistically’? Because it’s often been quite a long while since we were last walking around in a meatsuit. And just like a woman who hasn’t given birth for a long time tends to forget just how painful it is, a Soul that’s been non-corporeal for a long time tends to forget just how damned difficult it is, here on Earthside.

But I digress.

Which brings me to – birth! My birth. You know, that place where everyone else seems to start these kinds of stories… (so what’s my problem?)

I picked those particular parents, at that particular time because (drum roll please!) – I wanted to be raised metaphysical! Which, this being born in the mid-1950s and all – considerably cut down the herd! And why did I aspire to such an oddity? Because I didn’t want to waste my time, energy, or ‘teen-age angst years’ trying to deprogram myself from the ‘religions of the day’. (Well, at least they weren’t still burning women like me at the stake anymore. I’d certainly had enough of that shit back in… well! That’s another story/lifetime.)

Third generation metaphysical, on my mother’s side! And proud of it! So, when other little kids were sent off to Sunday School and filled full of Bible Stories, I was instead told about Atlantis, Edgar Cayce, UFOs and aliens, ghosts, spirit guides, and near-death experiences (before it was even a thing – my mom had one as a child. So, bonus! I was raised with no fear of death!).

When I was eleven, my mom and grandmother had found a new author they were devouring – a Tibetan Lama who had written quite a few memoir-type books. And I was hooked. Reading most of what he’d published throughout my teenage years.

I also started having what I now call my ‘spiritual downloads’ at right about that same time. I suspect that Lama’s very spiritual yet story-style books had opened up this already present psychic sense inside me. Which I now understand is called claircognizance – meaning ‘knowingness’. Where deep spiritual concepts sometimes just ‘fall into your head’. Wholly and completely. Including a strong ‘knowing’ that it’s ‘truth’. These downloads died down a lot during puberty, which is hard enough to deal with on its own. But though their intensity has changed over time, I’m now having milder ones – and fairly often. Especially when I write.

Okay, so – early adulthood. After practically raising me on that Tibetan Lama’s spiritual books in my teenage years – why the hell was my whole family surprised that I went to INDIA? I mean “Duh!”

Though I do admit that the timing turned out to be weird. Because roughly halfway through my four months in India at Osho’s ashram – ‘Jonestown’ happened! And soon I returned to America, wearing exclusively red or orange clothes, wearing a mala with Osho’s picture on it, and using the Sanskrit name that he had given me – Aggeya (which means ‘unknowable’) – into a culture that was suddenly terrified of ‘CULTS!’ Ugh. Big sigh…

Oh well… that whole ‘Jonestown’ scare didn’t faze me any. Because I’d had, in that four-month period, not only many of the most profoundly spiritual experiences of my life, but also the best time of my life. And – major bonus – I’d also discovered and experienced what I now call ‘sacred sexuality’ for the first time. Which I’m sure you’ll be hearing a lot more about in this blog. Because it’s a favorite topic of mine! It was, and is, an important part of my life path. Back then to experience and learn about it – and now in my old age, to write and teach about it. So, ‘Coming Soon’ my friend!

*****

Meanwhile, back at the ranch… then there was ‘The Ranch’! At least, that’s what we called it. All us red and orange clad followers of Osho. From the time I got there, it lasted for 3½ years. During which we all worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, while (at least mostly) loving it. (Though thank the gods I was still in my 20’s. Those hours were brutal sometimes.) We built, with our own little hands, the largest, richest, and eventually craziest spiritual commune in history. And despite the crazy parts, which most of us (including me) didn’t know about till much later – it was a wild and beautiful ride. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

And since then? About four decades have slid quietly by. Some years good. Some years bad. Some years really, really bad – due to a very deep and unbearably long depression. Triggered by (on my side) a very unwanted divorce. Which literally threw me into terrible grief, soul-wrenching shadow work, and pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Which I now just refer to as my “Valley of the Shadow of Death”. Thank the gods that’s over!

And at some point through all of it, I shifted into what I now call a ‘Soul-Centered’ way of being – which means living primarily from the Soul’s guidance, rather than the ego’s fears. When that shift happened, I honestly couldn’t tell you. But once you see the world through a SoulCentric lens instead of the standard egocentric one, you can’t really ‘unsee’ it.

And now? I’m poor as a church mouse. Not particularly healthy – feeling my age at nearly 70. And – Creative As All Hell! Which is as FUN as all hell! I paint. Do graphic design. Make the occasional video. And I’m working on several ‘spiritually alternative’ novels, with AI collaboration.

And lately building this website. Why? Because the ‘little voices’ told me to. In no uncertain terms. And I tend to listen to my guides when they go to all the trouble to give me a very clear message like that.

Something odd happens to some people at around this age. They start getting a hankering (does anybody still use that word?) to share their story. Their knowledge. And their wisdom with the world. An strong inner urge to share what they’ve learned on their journey.

And why? Well, I suspect it’s an archetypal thing. You know the ‘Hero’s Journey’ that was made famous by Joseph Campbell? (And his favorite student George Lucas, who used Campbell’s ‘map’ to write Star Wars.) Well, the very last step on the Hero’s Journey is for the Hero to ‘return home and tell their tale’. So, I guess that’s what I’m doing here.

In fact, I’ve been feeling a fricking ‘Soul Mandate’ to tell mine! (Which just means that it in my Soul Path contract.) But not so much as a memoir – more as a ‘teaching’. Because, on my rather unusual journey I’ve developed a very unusual worldview. And this is my “soon to be parting gift to the world”. A very different lens. A rare window to see the world through.

Because, as Wayne Dyer said so beautifully: “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

So here we are, my friend. Welcome to my latest experiment – SoulCentric.online.

And Namaste My Dear –
