Here I am, yes A Man Of God who literally and disobediently turned his back on Jehovah. Yes due to the pain of rejection I gave up on enjoying Gods Gift to me (life) and instead put my focus on pleasing other people and I lost sight of what is pleasing in the Eyes Of Jehovah. That is to stay focused on my daily needs, my desires and objectives and then and only then should I try to please others on ahuman level. So due to an inherent short-sightedness and ignorance, relative to life and humanity in general and because I was hurt more severely than most due to my physiological condition, this pain affected me harder exponentially. I did not understand how to stop a pain of excruciating proportions and I had no available means of relief and since the ones Ireally loved and trusted hurt me the most, I withdrew from the real world. They did not or could not understand my situation or needs. They instead pursued the feeling, attentions and social affiliations which gave then the most pleasure and gratification on ahuman level. I now realize that that was a normal human trait.

(A Man of God)

Here I am, yes A Man Of God who literally and disobediently turned his back on Jehovah. Yes due to the pain of rejection I gave up on enjoying God’s Gift to me (life) and instead put my focus on pleasing other people and I lost sight of what is pleasing in the Eyes Of Jehovah. That is to stay focused on my daily needs, my desires and objectives and then and only then should I try to please others on a human level. So due to an inherent short-sightedness and ignorance, relative to life and humanity in general and because I was hurt more severely than most due to my physiological condition, this pain affected me harder exponentially. I did not understand how to stop a pain of excruciating proportions and I had no available means of relief and since the ones I really loved and trusted hurt me the most, I withdrew from the real world. They did not or could not understand my situation or needs. They instead pursued the feeling, attentions and social affiliations which gave then the most pleasure and gratification on a human level. I now realize that that was a normal human trait.

I was experiencing a physiological state of nervous pain, brought on by a childhood inflicted injury (neighborhood youth) and it causes me extreme fluctuating periodic pain and discomfort, to this very day. Being inherent, modern medicine could not cure it due to my limited financial resources and relative family circumstances, at that time, I therefore became spiritually, mentally and physiologically coaxed and motivated to pursue a curative or other soother that would keep the debilitation at bay or cause it to be completely eradicated. So in fairness to all past acquaintances who shared some of their life force with me, I say thank you and May God Bless You and I hope to repay you for your shared love and kindness multiplied many times. This set the stage for my research and development of what I call The Embryonic Elixir Of Healing.

Due to the degree of debilitating pain, physiologically and not being a medical practitioner, I did not know how to relay to others my impairment without seeming to be asking for sympathy, pity, special treatment or ostracism due to a general misunderstanding of my condition. Reluctantly, I retreated into a world of excuses and sorrow and I tried to extricate myself from a world of insensitivity, cruelty and reality. The problem, I discovered, was that as a living human being, my presence still affected all those individuals who I came into contact with whether verbally, physiologically, emotionally or spiritually. So as a man in search of a realistic, strong connection with our Heavenly Father, I have accepted His Holy Name as Jehovah God and I am pursuing my passion for His Holy Word. As a home study student of theology, related church doctrines I will merge this study pursuit with my ample background in technological fields of study (mechanical engineering, math, drafting, graphics,
