About this ebook
The biggest pain in my heart was the loss of my brother. He didn’t just take his own life he took the life of this entire world with him. This world has never been the same. I wrapped that dead world up into a ball: it was a world of pain, frustration and anger. Every time those feelings tried to surface, I pushed them away. I was afraid that if I looked at those feelings again I would fall to my knees, become paralyzed with sadness and not have the strength to do what needed to be done—cut down my brother (Benjamin Butler) and try to bring him back to life.
I hated that helpless feeling as I tried to bring him back to life. Nothing hurt more than the loss of a nearby loved one. When Ben expressed his pain, frustration and anger he did not take other peoples’ feelings into consideration. When I looked at my pain, frustration and anger I felt mad at myself for feeling them. When I put my ear to the ground I heard the worldly impacts and the roaring sound of humanities’ tears pounding against the Earth; filling up all streams, rivers, and the seven seas. Perhaps, a rainbow would appear and every promise would be kept? Losing loved ones didn’t get any easier and the loss of every other loved one was inevitable. I was tempted to push everyone aside—wish everyone well and be alone.
New children have come into this world and this has helped with our healing to a degree. Children continue to brighten up this world and we don’t feel as helpless. I often think of my brother and everyone else. I know a child’s happiness and laughter doesn’t completely heal anyone. I also know that every child’s happiness and laughter will be fully restored in the end.
Although I am thankful, my openness is not meant to draw out sympathy. My sympathy goes out to all others as well; life and death are universal. We are individually motivated to seek out understanding: emotionally, mentally and physically. We will find individual peace, Collective Peace and Universal Peace.

REMEMBRANCE, Remembrance and remembrance:
What is Hell? No forgiveness, no confession, and no temperance.
What is Earth? Forgiving all, confessing to all and returning to all temperance.
What is Heaven? Forgiven all, confessed to all, and returned to all temperance.
All the individual religions and their individual believers on Earth will continue to fight over who is a real believer and who isn’t. Individual believers will continue to tell others and us that if we don’t believe in their individual interpretation of EXISTENCE AND NONEXISTENCE then we will go to Hell.
In my right hand, if we believed in anything this world said to us then we would die and go to Hell: no forgiveness, no confession and no temperance.
In my left hand, if we rejected everything this world said to us then we would die and go to Hell also: no forgiveness, no confession and no temperance.
We can choose to forgive this world, for it knows not what it says.
We can choose to confess to this world, for it knows not what it does.
We can choose to practice temperance, for this world knows not where it is going: FORGIVEN ALL, CONFESSED TO ALL AND RETURNED TO ALL TEMPERANCE.
We can love GOD with all our heart, mind and soul and we can love our neighbor as our self. We can love our family, neighbor and enemy for GOD is one written word, One Spoken Word and ONE LIVING WORD. Our individual interpretation of GOD is built upon solid rock: three keystones.
The First Keystone: GOD.
Who is, GOD? When we were children we instinctively knew that we were part of one family, a Larger Family and the FAMILY of GOD. GOD is: absolutely everything, Absolutely Everything and ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. GOD is: absolutely infinite, Absolutely Infinite and ABSOLUTELY INFINITE. There is no Greater FAMILY; there is no Greater LOVE; there is no Greater GOD. THE ALPHA and THE OMEGA: ‘ONE WORD’ is, ETERNAL; ‘GOD’ is, ONE WORD.
The Second Keystone: Faith.
‘GOD’ is, ABSOLUTELY INIFINITE. ‘GOD’ is, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. IN-BETWEEN THE BEGINNING and THE END, THE HANDS of TIME were in the process of coming together as one, One and ONE. THE BEGINNING and THE END: there is only ‘one time, One Time and ONE TIME.’
‘Humanity is the expression of one human being’s potential—One Category: Human (a beginning and an end). In-between the beginning and the end, there was nothing that humanity did to one another that humanity did not also do to oneself. Outside of perception, there was no separation. To forgive one human being was to forgive humanity—to condemn one human being was to condemn humanity—know thyself, others and ALL ELSE.’
In my left hand, original sin (blame, deception and denial) rippled out creating Hell on Earth: no forgiveness, no confession, and no temperance.
In my right hand, Forgiving All, Confessing to All and Returning to All Temperance rippled back: FORGIVEN ALL, CONFESSED TO ALL AND RETURNED TO ALL TEMPERANCE (ONE FAMILY HOME—ONE HEAVEN—ONE ALMIGHTY CLAP—ONE PRAYER ANSWERED).
IN THE BEGINNING, there were no twinkling stars in the Heavens, and the Earth had yet to be formed. SPACE was an EMPTY WOMB void of life. THE
