I have led an unexpectedly good life, actually an amazing life, but the marvelous and fulfilling things I've experienced didn't happen because I was adventurously taking chances. Throughout my early adult life, I was quietly searching for clearer understanding, for deeper, more comprehensive truth.
In those years, I lived with an almost unconscious sense that there was a higher, freer world out there somewhere. At the same time, like other people of my generation - or perhaps any generation - I wrestled with thorny questions: Why does evil persist unabated despite our best efforts to overcome it? Why does history move in unexpected and unpredictable ways? Why isn't there more kindness in the world?
My parents were both college professors, and I felt well acquainted with the intellectual world around me. I wasn't expecting to find a thinker who could help me in any significant way, but I did.
I met a teacher who surprised me by shedding light on the larger questions about the human condition that generally remain unanswered. This teacher, who turned out, unexpectedly, to be the Lord of the Second Advent, was the doorway to the wonderful things that happened in my life, but I should start at the beginning.
