Preface

I am a storyteller and this is essentially a book of experience. If you are looking to get your theory right then read no further. If you are hungry for experiential truth then I hope this little book will help you for I've always believed that the person with an experience is never at the mercy of the person with an argument.

Broadly speaking the stories fall into three categories and are progressive. Part 1 gives an insight into some eye-opening information that has come my way. Part 2 opens up the - at times traumatic - experiences that have helped to turn initial information into the inner revelation that changes our lives. Part 3 tells where I am at now, sixty years after I first pinched myself at the age of sixteen and asked the age-old question, 'Can I really be here?'. Maybe you've done the same?

I am aware that for many what I have shared seems to come from a mainly Christian standpoint. That is my background, but yours is equally valid and I trust it will lead you into all truth.

I wish you well.
