I came to this planet as Lloyd Matthew Thompson— an Aries, with Aries moon and Gemini rising sign— in April of 1978. I am the first born of nine single-birth children, all with the same parents, and was home educated from second grade through graduation in 1996. I was born in Oklahoma City, and still reside there, where I have experienced the birth of my first child— Julia Renee— on June 25, 2010, with my beautiful and wonderful soulmate, Melissa!

As far as I can remember, I was always drawing something, whether it was my favorite character Snoopy or a creative illustration to a Bible verse. Around the age of sixteen, I discovered I had a talent for writing, and began expressing myself through poetry, short stories and articles, which I continue to this day. I tried my hand at painting around the age of twenty-one, finding another wonderful outlet for my creativity and emotions in acrylic. I also began teaching myself web and graphic design around this time, falling in love with logos especially. I then added photography to my available mediums around age twenty-five, and have to admit I am thoroughly addicted to the shutter-click and visual possibilities this tool provides!

I was raised in a very strict Christian household, which naturally influenced and flavored my early work. It seems even as a child I was quite intuitive, for I was always aware that certain things I was taught in the church rang True, while others did not. I knew there was a bigger picture I was not getting all the pieces to. As I grew and gained the freedom to explore and learn other beliefs and ways of thinking, I came to realize that all paths actually compliment each other, each supplying a different piece to the overall Puzzle, with no single piece whole in itself. Religions are stepping stones to the higher way of understanding and existence our spirits are evolving to, and I have grown into such a blend of bits and pieces— taking that which resonates as Truth with my soul from each path and applying it to my own Life— that no label or brand could encompass it.

Each experience and even each day brings me closer to knowing and
becoming who I AM.

I am now very aware of the energies surrounding us, and work with them for various healing, teaching and artistic purposes. Many have commented on the energy they feel in my artwork and writing. Intent and imagery are naturally embedded “between the lines” of creations telepathically— these are all the more present when consciously done!

I have further combined my spirituality and creative talents into a spiritual community website called Resonate! at www.youResonate.com. I am currently writing for and developing this outreach, which will one day include local meditation groups, workshops and community service.

Many people ask me what InvisibleSoul means, where I came up with that name. It first referred to the sheltered life I had growing up. I was painfully shy and quiet, and did not begin to develop social skills until I began working “in the world” at age eighteen. It seemed even when I tried to talk to someone or be heard, I was overlooked or ignored. Invisible.

However, I have also had an overwhelming sense of Purpose my entire life.I have always felt I was here for a reason, to do something, and a protection around me regarding that purpose. I look back over this life and see many times I should have or could have died, but did not: an infection centering in my ears when only a few weeks old I suddenly recovered from, leaving me able to hear higher and lower frequencies than most people… getting hit by a car on my bicycle, unable to explain how I had only a bump on the head and my leg had not been crushed where the pedal had been twisted into the back tire… even my experiences in everyday circumstances seem to have been protected and held from total disaster despite times of naivety and my willingness to trust the natural goodness in others.

As I grew, the symbolism of the InvisibleSoul for me evolved from the “poor me” child into the “hello world” embracing of the man I have become.

And I continue on...
