Are you anxious or concerned about the fact that you are going to die? If so, read this book.
I was an arrogant fool and never considered God or death. I just assumed that life might go on forever. But after 6 strokes, dying during open heart surgery, and rediscovering God, I feel better, and you can too. Available here: www.amazon.com/TESTIFY-Book-Never-Wanted-Write/dp/B09KF5YXPW/ |

Throughout my life, I have been drawn to the hardest things. In my life I have worked with terminal AIDS and cancer patients, recovering addicts, rape survivors, severely abused children, and suffering soldiers. I have listened to them, learned from them, and cried with them. I have had great teachers and spent thousands of hours thinking about how to make them feel better. At times they made my own abuse issues seem small and irrelevant, but I know that is wrong. Everyone deserves healing.

Why are right wing hate filled assholes the only ones who write manifestos? After 11 other books I have decided to write one even though I am a kind person fueled by love. As my earlier works said, I have lived an unorthodox life with many amazing teachers. Because of my health issues I have way too much time to think about things. So, a manifesto it is. There will be things you love and things you hate but hopefully you will be entertained. It might even make you think...

Somatic Integrity has been the basis of everything I have ever taught, from healing to self-defense. I invented it to provide a simple way to show hard concepts.
I designed Somatic Integrity to try to bring light to dark areas, but I know that any light I have is, like moonlight, a mere reflection of brighter things. In my life nothing is perfectly clear. Perhaps we are all living Under a Hazy Moon...
