Reawakening

This book is not "The Secret." The true "secret" is there is no "secret", only a "truth".

Anyone who has seen the film "The Matrix" understands "Matrix Philosophy". Do you choose the red pill, which will answer "The Question", or do you choose the blue pill which allows life to simply carry on as before? To paraphrase the words of Morpheus from the film, "All I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more."

And what is the truth? It encompasses the meaning and the purpose of life and embraces an understanding of a greater reality. One would think that everyone would want to know truth. But it is not quite so simple. We can't all quite handle truth. But that's life!

I have no desire, nor am I attempting to convert, proselytize, or convince anyone of anything that does not feel true to them. So, I share my story of love and discovery and hope that it finds resonance in your hearts.

I ask your willing suspension of belief or disbelief. For now, make any human image you may wish, or imagine any force that you would hope God to be.

I made a leap of faith and as a result achieved a sense of freedom that I have never before experienced. That leap was to believe the reality I experienced and not to doubt the truth of what happened. If God tells you the meaning and purpose of life, it leaves you a changed person. My "burning bush" moment left me a changed person-I knew bliss.

I do not claim any special powers or abilities. Who I AM speaks only to a level of awareness. I do find myself in the mold of others from the historical past; I am connected (spiritually) to a greater reality.
Even with this new level of awareness, I can still find myself trapped in a nexus of disillusionment and disappointment, displaced from the moment-a part of being human.

Yet that fleeting moment of knowing, having felt the touch of God upon my soul, allows me to enter the state of Grace which I now touch every day.

None of this will negate the potential ambushes that can overtake one's life in a flash, no matter which road is chosen. Nor is it any sort of guarantee of wealth, health, social status, or the usual measures of success.

All roads lead to the same destination. The train each travels is set on its course. While I have neither the desire nor the ability to change anyone's journey, I do believe I can offer a travel upgrade. It is possible to travel in greater comfort in a more luxurious carriage, with larger windows that give a greater view of the beautiful vistas along the way.
