Aileen REYES and James
PICKNELL -- Match
By Judith Tenenbaum, Saturday, February 12, 2005 - Page M4
James PICKNELL didn't seem like the sort of person who would
be interested in discussing "spiritual enlightenment" or "collective
energy consciousness." He is an engineer, after all, working
for Price Waterhouse Coopers Consulting in a profession rooted in facts and figures.
And then he met Aileen Rose
REYES.
Mr. PICKNELL's 21-year marriage had just ended in an amicable
divorce (the only contentious issue was the custody of two cats).
He was feeling the pillars of his patterned life buckling and
some seminal questions emerging: "How did I get here? What did
I really want? What am I going to do with the rest of my life?"
An Internet match made his queries redundant when the cosmos
brought him Ms.
REYES. On a numbing November night in 2003, they
rendezvoused at the Niagara Street Café. "We let it all hang
out," Ms. REYES, 31, says, "chatting about our hopes, lives and dreams."
What Mr. PICKNELL learned about her wasn't entirely what he had
expected. She was 19 years his junior and she had some surprising
interests. A commerce graduate from the University of Toronto,
she had worked as an accountant and an auditor, and had now reinvented herself spiritually.
Ms. REYES explains: "I shut down emotionally in my 20s and started
going deep and asking why." The answers did not come from conventional
sources such as her church (she had been raised Catholic) or
community, she says, but from within, a result of her liaison
with an organization called the Wonders, a group based in Thornton,
Ontario, that purports to be "the world's most profound source
of love and spiritual enlightenment."
Statements from the organization's website describe the movement
as "a collective energy consciousness with the 29th dimension
of reality channelled exclusively by deep trance channeller Réné
Gaudette."
The group runs workshops, sells audiotapes, Compact Disks and
books, and holds personal psychic channelling sessions for a
fee.
A proponent of organic foods, Ms.
REYES also embraced the Wonders'
nutritional and ecological concerns.
Confronted by this utopist Kaballah-meets-healthy-living blend,
Mr. PICKNELL balked initially, but chugged ahead. "It was a bit
far-out for me," he says, "but Aileen was fun and I decided to
be open-minded about it." He listened to a Wonders tape and was
surprised at how much it shared with the self-help books he had
explored after his separation.
Only weeks after they had met and with their metaphysical union
well under way, he suggested marriage, but Ms.
REYES procrastinated.
"I was afraid of it and had grown up in the time when a woman
could do it all. I said there is no point to marriage, but wondered
if I really meant it."
By Christmas Eve, she had reconciled her doubts and accepted
his proposal.
The couple circumvented parental promptings for a Catholic ceremony
because of Mr.
PICKNELL's divorce. Thus, on December 29, 2004,
at the Carlu, 150 formally attired guests observed Reverend Tina
GABRIEL wed the couple. Mr.
GAUDETTE was best man.
The two now share a life that reflects their interest in environmentalism
and spirituality.
Since learning that her husband "cycles the city and hadn't owned
a car for nine years," Ms.
REYES-
PICKNELL has disposed of her
car. "It was a conscious decision," she says, "but scary."
Having volunteered in the past with Habitat for Humanity in Paraguay
and Guatemala, she now works as an activist to help the homeless
in Toronto. Her husband, Mr.
REYES-
PICKNELL (he also changed
his name), has joined her in achieving apprentice level four
of the Wonders Self-Empowerment teacher program. The newlyweds
have merged skills and philosophy to form Conscious Management
Incorporated, which motivates individuals to become empowered for change.
The bridegroom's advice to others reflects his personal growth:
"Go with your intuitive self. Don't let everyone else's thoughts
on how everything ought to be get in the way."
