In my early years I got into trouble with the law and spent some time in prison. When I returned to civilization, I learned how to harbor a great mistrust for mankind. But this mistrust was really about me and my decisions. My choices and their effects greatly colored my experiences in a negative light.
In the summer of 2017, I suffered a Cerebral Hemorrhage and ended up in the hospital for a few weeks. Inner turmoil that I was covering up with day-to-day distractions started to pour out of me. It was the first time I really started to face my past. The Karmic debt I had built up over my life finally required payment. It was either going to take my sanity, or my reinvention. During my time in the hospital, my body recovered really well. I only lost some balance, some of my words become mixed up, and my memory suffered a minor setback. After I returned home, this catharsis continued. Like a trial-by-fire, life was asking me tough questions, and demanding answers. Like, where did I want to end up? Did I want to continue this self-defeating path, or start anew? It was almost like this health challenge shifted, or shook loose, something deep inside me that was holding me back from truly living. And now, I had this opportunity to start again, to become somebody else, and If I wanted to, I could choose to do things differently. During this transition point, I wandered amongst my fellow humans like a shadow, feeling separate from life. It was during this time that Mankind Project (MKP) fell into my lap.
...moreA story of transformation from selfishness to selflessness.
“Most Improved” is a meditation on the process of personal transformation. I experienced a transformation from a “self-centered” worldly view on life, to a “universe-connected” consciousness, where all life has meaning. In August of 2017, I suffered a Cerebral Hemorrhage. While at work, I collapsed, was taken to the hospital, and diagnosed with high blood pressure. My recovery was a miracle, I suffer only minor damage to my body’s sensory systems, that improved over time. While recovering in the ICU, and realizing that I was not going to die, I got in touch with a deep feeling of apathy, and sadness about my life. I realized that previously, I was covering up these feelings with day-to-day distractions. I decided that if I was going to survive, I was going to live differently this time. This determination brought me to place where I developed an understanding on how to really live. I learned from many people including: Mark Passio, James Allen, and David K. Reynolds. I combine Hermetic principles with the Constructive Living practices of David K. Reynolds, and I filter all of that though the ethical teachings of James Allen. In this book I expose how aligning oneself to Cosmic Law brings true happiness. If you want to experience a fellow “life-traveler’s” view on overcoming depression, or just want to learn about the state of the world from a modern, self-learned philosopher, then this book is for you.
