DEAR EDITOR: This is for all you who read my letters and don’t really know me in person.

Many of you will probably never meet me or I, you. But it has occurred tome today that I should reach out and touch each and every one of you who are reading this letter, to tell you of where I am in the freedom of my mind through the grace of God.

As I write this and all my letters to you, I imagine that I am in a little mountain cabin, sitting in my leather, winged-back chair, perched on the paws of tigers that protect my images as they fly free as an eagle in my mind as I write to you. With pen in hand, these words flow from the Spiritthat dwells in me, that gift of freedom in mind, that peace that God has sent to me.

I found the essence of my existence, the good things for life that we all seek. As I once read: “Life for which we are seek are but echoes of thetrue self knocking at the door of our consciousness.” Everyone seeks aninward sense of certainty, without which happiness and satisfaction are impossible. We all seek an inner awareness of something greater than weare, that true meaning of our lives. But there is the psychological basisfor the inner conflict, which exists in the minds of so many people. This islargely a subconscious sense of having been rejected or not being wanted or of being unworthy. This creates an unconscious sense of fear ofcondemnation, and brings rise to what is called the inferiority complex, which is a loss of values and importance as we may see ourselves, that low self-esteem. This leaves an emotional craving toward self-expression, a feeling nature in everyone which demands some form of outlet.

Take the instance of the individual who may have been incarcerated. I usethe word incarcerated in the sense of the inner imprisonment caused by the subconscious, from events, those situations the burned impressions deep in the subconscious, unable to surface to the conscious being, to the point where defense mechanisms tend to override any chance to face these fears.

It brings to mind, can life retain its potential meaning in spite of its tragic aspect? In my opinion, I would say yes. The human capacity tocreatively turn life’s negative aspects into positive, constructive human achievements and accomplishments, is the opportunity to change one’s self for the better, deriving from incentive to responsibility to react on any situation encountered in his life.

I believe there is a purpose for every aspect of the human life. Thatpurpose is to be found by the individual’s own understanding. For myunderstanding through my faith in the infinite power of the divine existence of God, His presence, my infinite supply to obtain eternal life.

The promise through God’s covenant (that formal binding agreement) to all mankind is my purpose. I give all praise and glories to God. There is my purpose to also extend to you, my reader, the fact that man is made up of the conscious and subconscious thoughts, plus what he has inherited from his ancestors and from race and the most important of all, his spiritual inwardness and understanding.

May you find the peace and freedom from that infinite supply of power, the presence of God and faith.
