Introduction: An Electrician’s Guide to Our Galaxy: Living on Universal Bandwidth.
(or inner book sleeve message)
What connects the hum of electricity to the pulse of life? What unites the intricate systems of wiring in a home to the energy that courses through our own bodies and minds? These are the questions that sparked my lifelong journey, as both an electrician and a seeker of spiritual truths. These are also the questions that lie at the heart of An Electrician’s Guide to Our Galaxy: Living on Universal Bandwidth.
This book is for thinkers and tinkerers, builders and believers. It’s for those who carefully wire circuits and those who dig deeply into the circuits of their own existence. It’s for electricians and engineers who marvel at the way a current flows, but also for philosophers, truth-seekers, and spiritual travelers who are captivated by the currents of human consciousness. Whether you’re drawn to the technical or the transcendent, these pages are for anyone striving to cultivate connection—between people, between ideas, or simply within themselves.
Grounded in my origins as an electrician, this book begins with the tangible, the physical—the buzz of electric circuits, the design of systems—and expands into the metaphysical, exploring how those same principles reveal vital truths about existence, relationships, and the universe itself. The truths I found on my own path are not bound to wires or blueprints; they stretch into the unseen, into the energy that courses through every aspect of life.
Electricity is more than just a force—it’s a model of how life flows. A circuit doesn’t function without balance, direction, and grounding. Neither do we. A current’s energy arises from potential—a difference sparking transformation. Isn’t that what life asks of us as well? To explore our potential, to flow through moments of imbalance, and to transform through connection? Even concepts we label “negative,” like the electron’s charge, are simply part of a larger system doing exactly what it needs to do. There’s a lesson in that.
Through this lens, we’ll examine the parallels between the tangible and the eternal—principles like flow, resonance, and grounding—and apply them to the human condition. Together, we’ll explore how wiring a circuit can inform self-discovery, how resistance mirrors our inner struggles, and how the energy of life itself is both universal and intimate.
But this isn’t just a story about principles; it’s deeply personal, rooted in my experiences—some inspiring, some formative, and some painful. From my earliest awe at the electrician who seemed to bring light and life to my family’s new home, to childhood experiments with wiring underground bunkers, each moment fused into a passion for understanding energy in all its forms. This path wove through a meandering career as I resisted conformity, sought higher truths, and, ultimately, embraced a unique convergence of vocation and spiritual calling.
It’s a path that has revealed insights not just about systems but about humanity—our capacity for connection, our struggles with disconnection, and the ways we can harmonize with the greater “circuit” of existence. Yet, perhaps the greatest realization I’ve uncovered is this: What we seek, we tend to find. And sometimes, the most profound discoveries come not from the object of our search, but from reflecting on the seeker itself.
This book will not answer every question—that would be a disservice to the infinite mystery. Instead, it offers reflections, truths, and metaphors to spark your own currents of thought. It’s a guide for engaging with energy—whether it flows through wires, through communities, or through the self. It’s an invitation to see life not as a disconnected series of events, but as a delicate, interconnected circuit, where every spark holds meaning.
For the electrician, the engineer, the philosopher, and the believer, this book offers tools to wire your own path—one that aligns the external world with the inner landscapes of meaning and spirit.
