This is a late 1973 photo of me in my parent’s kitchen within the Hampshire Lane home.
I had great hair, but boy was I messed up! I cleaned up in 1987, and I had nearly two decades of sobriety, though with a major relapse into pain killer addiction from a running related leg fracture in 2006. I cleaned up by 2009.
During and after the protracted death process of a dear friend in 2017, I finally began dealing with all of the traumatic wounding that life had exposed me to.
The face of the “evil one”, toxic masculinity, was found to be spread all across the face of our declining civilization, including its religions, economics, and politics. Its ugly tentacles extended into me, as it has into all of humanity. American culture has worshipped and normalized this abomination of the human spirit.
It has to be seen completely to gain liberation from its darkness.
Our wayward POTUS Donald Trump is a perfect example of unrestrained toxic masculinity, with his self-will running riot all over our world. We are all going to pay the consequences of this cruel, selfish man for many years to come.
Because of cultural influences, like much of humanity, I developed an identity ignorant of what my fundamental nature is, causing lifelong wounding. The greatest trauma to the human spirit is to live an unauthentic life.
No more turning away from this universal wounding, NO SPIRITUAL BYPASS this time.
I have a 220,000-word book I am getting ready to present to the world which captures a part of what I learned.
An Electrician’s Guide To Our Universe, and a Life, Love, and Death Upon Its Unlimited Bandwidth
Most people won’t even care, because they don’t know they are supposed to (yet).
My healing allowed me to live to be 70 years old (well, that event will be next week, but the odds are pretty good now).
That young man in the picture was an innocent human being who did not have a clue.
I do now.
I am awakening.
