In Hebrew, Petahtikva means “the opening of hope”. My father was serving in Tzahal (the Israeli Army – Israeli Defense Forces). He was given an unusual leave to be there at my circumcision. He says he felt something unique, spiritual, and unusual when I was born. The leader (a man named “Bapak”) of a spiritual group my parents were part of called “Subud” chose my name. I believed in God when I was born, but I became an atheist at an early age. My grandmother, who escaped from Europe to Israel to survive the holocaust, was an atheist. One day, as a young boy, I asked her why she didn’t believe in God. She replied, “Because if God does everything, what do we do ‘by hand’?” That convinced me—I became an Atheist. As a young boy, I would go to visit her Kibbutz (founding Israeli commune) where she lived and enjoyed feeding the cows there – I had a special connection to them and later on to other animals. I immigrated to America at 7 years of age (my family moved (came) to America).
As a child, I was unusually bright. I began playing chess at age 3 and programming my computer in BASIC at age 10. I was an ambitious underachiever. Most of my childhood, I was unpopular – a “nerd”. I enjoyed playing boardgames (wargames) like “Risk” and “Axis & Allies”. I also loved video games and became a software ‘pirate’ (A software pirate is someone who makes illegal copies of computer software.) [One of the best video games of all time was “Ultima 4: Quest of the Avatar” – (my rating: 10 out of 10) - it is a lot of fun while teaching morality and ethics.] As a senior in high school, I worked on the presidential political campaign of Paul Tsongas (one of very few politicians I’ve been able to believe in and trust). I scored in the top 1% of students on my SAT’s and I graduated college after attending Binghamton University and Cornell University. I loved philosophy (“philo-Sophia” –“love of ‘Sophia’, “the ‘Goddess’ of wisdom”” – Wisdom is also depicted as a woman in the book of Proverbs in the Holy Bible), and I developed the ability to write a 5 or 10-page paper overnight—an ability which helped me in writing this book. For the first time in my life, I had lots of friends (and a few truly very good friends).
I began to be influenced toward God. Making the decision to live the Right-hand path is the most important decision you can make. Some time after I made the decision to commit to follow it, I became happier than I’d been before. Most of my life, my happiness ‘level’ was between a 3 and 6 out of 10. Now(today), I am significantly happier daily – usually about an 8 out of 10. Choosing to be good is paramount. Don’t be jealous of me- instead, seek the same level of happiness for yourself by living the teachings in this book and in books like the Holy Bible or the Noble Qur’an, or spiritual books such as “Embraced By The Light” by Betty Eadie.
I haven’t had an easy life by any respects. I was fired from my first two “real world” jobs (My boss stole credit for my work – he was promoted, I was fired. But, it was all for the best because this book would not have been written otherwise.) My fiancé and soulmate, “Rachel”, broke my heart and left me. After being fired from my second job, I spiraled downward emotionally. I dabbled in satanism(which hurt me significantly). I had mental issues and I spent years in psychiatric centers / hospitals – it was a very difficult time. We (the other patients and I) weren’t treated well by the psychiatric staff. I also spent 4 weeks being beaten and tortured at the ‘West Virginia Northern Regional Jail’ despite the fact that I was never charged with anything. I was a victim of domestic terrorism. Although, I prefer to think of myself as a survivor rather than as a victim (A survivor of domestic torture and psychiatry). Still, I was able to find happiness eventually by obeying the ethics in the Holy Bible, in this book, and in other religious/spiritual scriptures. “Rachel” was a Sunday school teacher and a witch (a Protestant Poet). She and another witch taught me that I was special in spiritualistic ways. Among other things, I was able to understand what animals and plants were saying and to communicate with the dead and to sense spirits (ghosts) / (Spirit pervades the world). Sometimes we can do this through the “third eye” (also known as the forehead chakra). Located between and slightly above your eyebrows on the head, it is one of the most sensitive parts of the body. It is the ‘seat’ of our consciousness. Some of the ancients called people like me ‘witches’ or ‘gods’. Thus far, Science hasn’t been able to understand us. We get power from the stars. We constitute about 1% of the general population. About 10% of the general population has some magical ability. Telepathy, telekinesis, out of body experiences, I believe in all of it.
There was a certain irony to my and Rachel’s relationship. It was a key transformational time. Whereas I was an atheist, Rachel was religious. Nevertheless, I later turned to the Holy Bible, and Rachel became more worldly.
As for being psychic, every human being is psychic(from Edgar Cayce), and animals and plants are psychic as well. For example, two average middle-aged women will be riding in a car and one of them will have a premonition, put her hand to her head, and say “Aunt Martha’s going to die.”
I also did some volunteer work. I teach Bible Study. I volunteered as part of a group called “Cephas Attica” – we went into prison to visit with inmates. I worked at a food bank giving food to soup kitchens and food pantries. Finally, I also walked a local elderly lady’s dog daily.weniger sehen
