THE PROPHET has been the GUIDING LIGHT on My Personal Journey of the Heart. When I was 16, I was Publicly Mocked, Humiliated and Psycho Spiritually Crucified in the Presence of 200 Students in my H.S with the full Approval of the Teachers, Staff & Administrators whose job was to Protect Me from this Type of Behavior.
I Endured the Humiliation Without Flinching or Allowing Them to Know that I was Affected by their Actions; but when I went Home, I went to my Bedroom and Cried in Order to Release the Emotional and Mental Energies that had been Individually and Collectively Inflicted Upon Me.
As Soon as My Tears Subsided and I Found Myself in the Peaceful Stillness/Steele-ness of the (Z)ero Point, the Still Point of the Turning World, the EYE of the STORM, I Heard the Voice of the Christ Within & He said: "Now that You Know what it FEELS Like to be Crucified, Why Not Dedicated Your Life, from this Moment On to Ensure that this Will NEVER Happen to Anyone Else Ever Again!"

That was the Moment when I Surrendered the Fiery Testosterone or my Warrior Heart & Placed It in Service to the King--the Heart of the Christ Within.
I Passionately Vowed, from that Moment On to become a Cosmic Guinea Pig who would Understand the True Meaning of Christ that was Deeply Hidden within the Organized Dogmatic Structures of the Past Two Centuries. I was, after-all, People who were Considered to be "Good Christians, who had Passively Witnessed the Violation of My Innocent Heart and, on Top of that, Never Ever Reached Out to Me and Asked if I had been Impacted in Any Way by What had occured on their Watch.
Several Months after I had made my Vow, I was at my Sister's House, 200 Miles Away from where I lived and a Female Student of my Brother-in-Law's--who I didn't even know-- Knocked on the Door with a Copy of THE PROPHET and said: "Give this to Your Brother, I Think He will Appreciate the Words of this Author."
And that was the Beginning of My Journey
