Anthony Imbrusciano...
A beautiful spirit, a wonderful Human Person, an enquisitive soul, an absolutely brilliant mind and a compassionate spirit... I was given the sad news of his passing not too long ago, i was informed that he died whilst i was away in the USA training, i have had a sad feeling in my being regarding the health of Anthony for some time now, and whenever i have contacted his collegues the news has been unpleasant and declining regarding his health...
Dr Anthony Imbrusciano is my Philosophy Lecturer at University, he was one of my first teachers at University, i have been studying for 5 years now (part time) and Anthony has been my Lecturer for a good part of those years. But he was more than that, he was a mentor, and a friend, and upon deep reflection, he assisted me in forming the person i am today, with his friendly open nature, his charasmatic, yet shy approach and his deep wisdom, on life and the universe surrounding us.
Such an informed scholar and individual, highly intelectual and informative with deep maturity of wisdom to match, such a humble person, he was and still is a wonderful role model for all who wish to aspire to being the best possible human person they can be.
His love of Philosophy and the never ending search for wisdom astounded me, his intelectual capacity was overwhelming, but most of all i was humbled by his own humbleness and poise of character. A beautiful man whom i discussed many times with training and training techniques, how to improve ones own performance and ability in that realm of being. Discussions i will never forget. He gave me inspiration to continue to study, deeper, in to the subject matter, deeper in to the "difficult questions", deeper in to life. he gave me a foundation to want to learn and understand more, i would look forward to every semester, hoping i would have him as my lecturer, as hard as a marker he was, i didnt care, i just wanted to be surrounded by his wisdom, and knowledge.
Anthony isn't just an inspiration to myself, I am very sure he is an inspiration to all who have crossed his path, I am sure he influenced and touched many souls in their endeavour to understand and contemplate the deep truths of life and being, he did this for me, and I am certain he did this for others, those close to him (closer than I was, on a different level) were blessed enough to know him in a greater capacity, and I am certain than when faced with the concept of physical death Anthony stood tall within his own being and did not stop fighting and searching to the end...
That's the Anthony I knew, a strong willed spirit, that's one of many qualities and attributes that he has passed on to me, and I will never forget what he is to me, he is an integral part of my own being, and my own search for truth, reality and all that is.
I thank you deeply and with great humbleness for all that you have provided me in this life Anthony, i appreciate deeply your wisdom and all of your time, as I understand that time on this Earth plane is limited and i was given and blessed with the opportunity to consume some of your time on this Earth, and to this I am truly in debt and ever lasting gratitude. As Eastern Philosophy and understanding would state, we are all intertwined in a circle of karma, that is only broken when we have achieved all that our souls must within this Earth Plane, and Nirvana is reached. Christianity states that if one has live their life a certain way, and executed certain thought processes in a particular way that the individual will be rewarded greatly with the prospect of heaven... Whatever "truth" is my friend, i am certain, the integrity of your character, and the essence of your being has bought you to a place where you are free...
I thank you for all that you are to me and to all the souls you have blessed along your wonderful journey we call life, I am sure you simply didn't walk through life blindly, but you embraced life, and you lived life, and maximized your time here.
I believe i could go on forever about the strength and inspiration of your presence and being. i will stop here, because I feel these words are not doing justice to all that you are. I miss you my friend, believe me, you are missed dearly and tremendously, i wish you all that need where you are...
I will see and feel your powerful presence soon, in one way, shape or form...
Love Always, Stef...
welcome...
This site is designed to give you insight on the nature of my very own being, it has been constructed to allow the expression of all who are in search of something greater than what is simply apparently in front of them... I would like all to be able to express freely their opinions, their feelings, their thoughts and their understandings of this theatre we call life and inturn I would hope to learn much from others as hopefully some may learn something from me. I will document my thoughts and experiences for all to view, in essence I anticipate this to spark up discussion to why life is what it is, and what is it that exactly is...
I do not believe one can reach enlightenment through philosophical discussion, but I do believe, that thought like anything else when exercised grows and flourishes, and thought is an integral part of existance and growth as is spirit...
I wish all that visit this web site inner tranquility, inner freedom and clarity amongst life and living...
ABOUT ME...
My birth name is Stefanos, it is the name given to me by my parents. My culture is a mixture of Greek & Italian & that of a multicultrul Australia. I wont go to deeply in to my past, because I have 26 years of it & it could get lengthy, rather I would like to focus on where I am now, in this moment, in retrospect to that I am well aware that our past affects, shapes & somewhat creates who we are, what we are, how we feel and think, our characters, our personalities, & what action we take today, knowing this, I do not reject my past, it is me, I embrace it, So I continue...
Am in intrigued by life, I am curious by all that is. I love new experiences, I love and feel deeply connected to the mountains, to the ocean, & to nature, I feel a connectedness that at times superseeds any human relationship, this may be difficult to comprehend, but is an extrordinarily beautiful feeling. I am currently heavily involved in physical training, and I take it very seriously, I enjoy all training, and am currently martial arts fight training, in the form of boxing and jujitsu, along this I exert myself physically with cycling, hiking (when I can, as I love altitude), running, and all cross training. i train intensly because it takes me to a place within myself, that is deep and that is singular, it is connected to something higher. Along the benefits of performance on a physical level, this intense and focused training does something else for me, it assists me to find me, who I really am, what i am of, and how I am connected to what surrounds me... Although all that is here is finite, I will embrace this journey i am on for as long as I am meant to, all that I do, and all who cross my path, and bless my being I will acknowledge as a true gift, that is here to enhance my being, for me to learn, and perhaps for me to pass on something from my own being. This is part of the journey I am on, a journey through the maze and labrynth of life...
Namaste for now...
