About the Author

Preface

The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.

― Patrick Henry

I would consider myself an overachiever and successful at whatever I set my mind to do. When I’ve had laser-sharp focus on achieving a goal, I have attained that goal and more. The ability to bring into my reality whatever I wanted was part of my wiring and was kept active by my profound connection to a higher spiritual power. The close relationship I had with God-Creator and my ability to manifest what I wanted was not even something I had to think consciously about; I was just designed this way. I would think an affirmative thought about something I wanted, this thought would guide my actions, and shortly after, the thing I thought about would manifest. I became aware of this gift very early in my life – at age four.

After spending a good portion of my life living and acting in the zone or being in the flow of God/Prime Creator, something happened that stopped all the magic – if we can call it that – from happening. I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t thriving anymore, why I was feeling ill, why I was having so many interpersonal conflicts, why nothing I was doing seemed to work or give me a positive outcome. I was stuck, and I didn’t know how I got there.

When I had immersed myself in the world of business, I was able to create financial wealth practically out of thin air. I used the principles of manifestation that I was familiar with that never failed me. But being in the world of commerce and having to figure out ways to earn money allowed me to observe firsthand what the term dog-eat-dog means. People can be ruthless when it comes to protecting their dollar or the potential of acquiring that dollar. They do things they would not normally do, even if it conflicts with their moral foundation. This aggression depicts survival of the fittest in the Matrix or Rat-Race; it is a world that not many know how to navigate and often find themselves receiving mortal wounds. Despite this, I did quite well, but after many years, I was tired of swimming in the shark-infested-waters and hungering to be with those who were noble, kind, and spiritually connected to God. With renewed purpose and passion, I dove deeper into a morphed version of Spirituality, with no idea that I was entering equally dangerous waters.

Soon I began to notice many inconsistencies in the information that was being freely disseminated. In fact, much of it went against what I Knew, as I had kept my memories of a Realm from which I had originated. But because I wanted so desperately to have kinship and camaraderie with others who were seeking a new way of conduct, a new way of living – in short, a new Earth – I went along with it. It was certainly better than the money-hungry world of business. I wanted to escape the rat race and live on a farm, have chickens and grow my produce. I wanted to be self-sustainable and self-reliant. I wanted to be in unity with The All That Is, and in my search I found many commonalities with the goals of the so-called spiritual community.

Still, those inconsistencies and falsities kept coming up, and they didn’t sit well with me. On top of that, after doing my meditations, saging (filling the home with sage smoke to take away evil spirits), saying countless affirmations and what-have-you, my life was a mess. And I wondered a lot about that. My finances were tanking, and I wasn’t contributing to the household because I couldn’t get myself to work in the Matrix any longer. Something in me – that spark of joy and my manifestation capabilities – had been quashed. Now a bit jaded, I had to live in mediocrity and was barely making it. In fact, I was counting my pennies – as most in the spiritual community were – except the teachers, leaders, and gurus. They lived fairly well. They lived fairly well because they were teaching others like me the secrets of the universe, the keys we needed for our Ascension or Rapture or graduation to the next level in our spiritual experience. They were okay because they charged a pretty penny for their pearls of wisdom and enlightenment. There was something not right here, and I didn’t understand what had happened that unplugged me or disconnected me from my ability to manifest and become empowered.

After much introspection and objective observation, I came to a couple of conclusions, conclusions that I knew were spot on. At the same time, I found myself resisting these findings. Without realizing it, I had inadvertently joined and fallen into the trap of the New Age Movement, which included the plethora of philosophies, ideologies and concepts that, again, were in direct contradiction to what I knew from direct experience with the Illumined Realms or Kingdom of God. And as soon as I was fully immersed in it, my life changed for the worse. I went from manifesting, creating, achieving abundance and joy to lack, hardship, decline, stagnation and loneliness. How was this possible, I would ask myself? I know how to do this; I know how to create out of nothingness, out of the ether. I could manifest money and live in abundance – yet, I was slowly and steadily withering like a flower that isn’t watered regularly. I didn’t know why this was happening – until I started observing a pattern, and this pattern led me to see the bigger picture and a very, very ugly truth.

I noticed that my new friends, who were also participating in this New Age Spiritual Movement, were all suffering as well. I didn’t know one – not one – person in this movement that was thriving, who had their stuff together. As a matter of fact, most suffered from health issues, financial issues, relationship problems, drama and chaos. Many of them suffered from depression; were bipolar; were victims of sexual, physical, emotional and/or verbal abuse; were in or had been in bad marriages; were bullied; had self-esteem issues; identity issues, or anger issues. Some even suffered from hate and remorse, even though they would utter words like love and light. Some of these friends were manipulative, controlling, conniving and mean to others – and I couldn’t understand this conundrum for the life of me.

One day, while speaking to one of these friends on the phone and comparing notes about what we were experiencing, we came to the realization that something was messing with us. The deeper we got into the conversation, the more insight we got as to the culprit of our despair. We then decided to dig deeper and as we did, we uncovered something that many of us don’t even want to talk about, something that we just touch upon when we go to the movies or read a book by one of our favorite horror authors – we were all the victims of forces that were dark, sinister and demonic.

The realization of what we were dealing with didn’t sit well with me at all, but the more I researched and observed and interviewed experts in this field, the clearer the picture became. I didn’t like what I was seeing, or what this implicated for humanity. Even worse was the fact that many of these New-Agers had been lured into a new religion that wasn’t what it claimed to be. Many of them were folks that could have been instrumental in helping lift the consciousness of humanity, but instead were too busy working on themselves and their potential entry into Nirvana, to help anyone.

And then it hit me. The New Age Movement had been pre-planned. It was an agenda of the Sinister Forces to recruit those with the potential to uplift humanity, and render them ineffective. The new recruits would not be able to carry out the plan of bringing the balance designed by the Original Blueprint of Prime Creator back to this realm. It was a tactic, a strategy used by a very skillful enemy – one that knows the territory and has studied humanity and those that serve God/ Creator. They know exactly how we behave and react, and so they have formulated a plan to capture as many of the ones that are key players and take them out of play. I then realized that what I was witnessing were battles being fought in the etheric or spiritual realm – battles springing from a very ancient and long-lasting Spiritual War.

Seeing so many New-Agers in distress revealed the pattern of their demise. There was a signature, a footprint left in the spiritual sand that one could trace right back to a culprit. And just like they had studied us, knew us better than we know ourselves through our predictable behavior, I was able to do the same. When I learned to read their signature, I uncovered what was responsible for the mess humanity was in, and I was able to put a stop to their interfering in my personal life. My aim is to prevent them from interfering in your life as well so that you too can be instrumental in making a difference in this world and help others attain freedom. May this book provide you the Truth you seek and may it serve you well.

Introduction

1 Corinthians 3:16-17

Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.

I think it is safe to say that things are not exactly in alignment with God’s plan right now. The evidence of this is right under our noses. It could be as simple as an altercation between friends or the ill will you send to someone who cuts you off in traffic. It can be as grave as children being kidnaped and raped or murdered and the type of vileness that leads to beheadings and other atrocities. These are clear indications that something has been festering – something that could have been quashed by the Light Forces currently present but were instead left to grow like a cancer. This thing or Force is alive and has a consciousness. It is a beast without a body and with many bodies. It infests, enslaves and consumes. It is competent, it is wise, and it is unified. It has found our weaknesses – and it shows no mercy.

Because of this, we are facing unprecedented conditions on this plane of existence. The planet that was once ours has been inadvertently handed over to those acting on the Dark Force’s behalf, to do with as they will. And they have been doing it unfettered, because those who were sent in to help correct this have themselves been severely compromised. These Forces are devouring God’s Creation in this realm, and there’s no one minding the store.

Make no mistake, this is a war – a spiritual war for the souls of man and womankind. It is a war to protect all that is holy and noble and good and innocent. It is a war to stop the defiling of all that is pure – like children and nature. Many of those who swore allegiance with The Light have either been taken out or have changed sides. However, there are others who have not yet been compromised and who are trying to get the rest to see that what is happening on Earth right now is not part of the Original Blueprint of Prime Creator.

I am urged to share the information in this book with as many souls that are willing to entertain it. This information may sound foreign at first, especially if you come from a traditional religion. Similarly, if you have not been practicing spirituality or are unfamiliar with New Age concepts, you may find the concepts a bit challenging to understand. But if you stick it out and keep reading, you’ll find that your soul recognizes much of it. It is like starting to work out again after a long hiatus from the gym – your muscles will begin to remember.

Still others have been so immersed in the New Age philosophy and concepts that they are unwilling to let go of misguided beliefs, even when presented with Truth. They are fearful that their enlightenment will be shaken off its foundation. If you recognize yourself in this scenario, know that this too is a sign of being compromised by the Forces I address and expose in this book. True spiritual enlightenment can never be shaken or threatened by other viewpoints. Although many have come to the conclusion that we do not have free will on this planet, we do. So, you can opt to continue blissing out – New Age lingo for denial – so that you don’t have to see what is actually happening around you; or, you can honor your responsibility to find what is causing the demise of such a beautiful world and all the living things in it.

If you have already claimed responsibility and would like to know what is causing us to experience pandemic entropy, death, despair, grief, and hopelessness, then the information contained in this book will help give you that understanding. If you are interested in empowering yourself to stand up with your fellow Light Emissaries and reclaim your Divine Power and Authority, you will find the strength to do so in this book.

It is my aim to awaken those who are being interfered with by Forces working in direct opposition to The Light and The Original Intention of Prime Creator. And time is of the essence, because of the urgency of the situation on this planet and because of how severely the Light Forces have been compromised. It is for everyone who is sick and tired of not being able to express their fullest potential, and is ready to throw off the shackles of this Matrix. Ultimately, this book is about us taking back our power and taking back our world – by returning the Kingdom of God into this realm.

To do this, we must first recognize the threat – for if we don’t know what is causing an illness, how can we fight it? My aim is to pull back the curtain and reveal what is happening behind the scenes as we go to work, struggle to pay our bills, fight health problems, deal with divorces, go through depression, get heartbroken, and go through all of life’s dramas.

While reading this book it is important to suspend all judgment and view it instead from a point of neutrality. If you rely on your intellect, you will find yourself arguing against the concepts because you don’t want to let go of the old information – information that may be keeping you in bondage. Instead, try to approach it with the humility and awe of a little child, an empty vessel to be filled. This way, you give it the opportunity to be recognized by your soul. It may not resonate today, but it could tomorrow, as you start noticing the subtle deception that is occurring in your everyday reality – deception that usually portrays itself as information meant to liberate you. The realization of how we’re deceived will be the beginning of your path to freedom.

You may also find that you already know much of this information. You may have heard it somewhere else, or it's already in the collective unconscious. If you are familiar with the concepts presented, please keep reading. You may be surprised that the way I tell this story may be unlike anything you've heard up to now, and it may connect a few more dots for you. Please give the book the chance to make its case and present the entire material.

Also, I have intentionally capitalized certain words to emphasize their importance and/or to differentiate them between the concepts and truths emanating from the Higher Realms and those found in this low-vibrational reality – also known as the third dimension. I have also included a Glossary of some terms that may be unfamiliar to you; the definitions are based on how I use them in the book. Finally, if this information does touch you on a soul level, be ready to act in service of others. It can be as simple as sharing what you’ve learned so that they too may begin to reexamine their lives and beliefs. The more of us who get inspired to take action, the quicker we’ll restore the Will of God/Prime Creator to this world, raising the consciousness and vibration of humanity beyond all preconceived limits and expectations.

Only Breath —Jelaluddin Rumi

(translated by Coleman Barks)

"Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu

Buddhist, Sufi, or Zen. Not any religion

or cultural system. I am not from the East

or the West, not out of the ocean or up

from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not

composed of elements at all. I do not exist,

am not an entity in this world or the next,

did not descend from Adam and Eve or any

origin story. My place is placeless, a trace

of the traceless. Neither body or soul.

I belong to the beloved, have seen the two

worlds as one and that one call to and know,

first, last, outer, inner, only that

breath breathing human being."

Earth Experience

It is divinity that shapes, not only your ends, but also your acts, your words and thoughts.

—Swami Sivananda

It’s time to have a meaningful talk about our current experience on this planet. We like to tell ourselves that the world is like a magnificent painting, composed of a multitude of colors and textures that would please just about anyone. Yet what is really manifesting in this world, and the reality of what many people are in fact experiencing in their lives, paints an entirely different picture – and it is no masterpiece. It’s time to get real.
