Two Faces, One Life: The Journey Within

This is not a normal manuscript. We logically prove that God Is, it is impossible to sin against God, Hell does not exist, Heaven is our true Reality, and we are human beings transcending to our true nature as Christ Beings. If God exists, can He make something He cannot lift? If God is all powerful, He can lift anything, yet if He is all knowing He can make something He cannot lift. The answer to this paradox is in our manuscript.This autobiography is an accumulation of over 15 years of writings. I'm 71 and have experienced many wonderful, beautiful, educational, and enlightening moments. I've also endured the dark night of the soul where nothing means anything, all hope...

A Love Story

This is a love story for in truth it is our story, yours and mine. Two young people met and grew up together. They became acquainted quite by accident on the phone for a business purpose. After weeks of talking, they became very comfortable with one another's personalities and enjoyed the same sense of humor. She then asked him to come to her business for a cup of coffee. Something extraordinary happened, when they looked at one another both were silent and somewhat stunned. An electricity, but not quite, shot between them.

Our Awakening Transcendence Is Occurring Now

Our awakening transcendence is occurring now because of the magnificent power of the mind and our complete forgiveness of others. Ever try to remember a name and several days later it enters into your conscious thought? The reason this occurs is everything you have seen, heard, touched, tasted and smelled from the moment of birth is stored in your subconscious database. You asked, and your powerful mind finds the answer. I have not watched network news in 25 years for the sole reason of putting positive into my mind versus negative. The news is mostly negative because the executives understand society enjoys seeing others worse off than their selves. Great for ratings. Also, consider th...

Gentle Musings About Life

Today is 4/27/2025 and 10:07pm. For me, this is a very unusual time to be writing. For years my pattern has always been to start jotting down thoughts early, after stumbling out of bed. I’m 72 and can honestly admit the feeling of growing happiness is starting to occur. I’m very much alone but never lonely. Believe me this did not happen overnight, and I’m grateful that what was once so very important means nothing at all. Having a soulmate at my side to complete me is no longer sought after because I am complete. So are you because this is how you were created. By what means can you not be when you are One with God? Your imagined past has resulted in the forgetting of this unconscious...
