THIS BOOK, LIKE ALL REALITIES, BEGAN WITH A THOUGHT. A THOUGHT THAT HAUNTED ME FOR THREE WEEKS DAILY, ALMOST HOURLY TO PUT ON PAPER THE IDEA THAT WAS CROWDING MY MIND THE STRENGTHENED REALIZATION THAT I, LIKE EVERY LIVING THING, IS INHERENTLY MORE SPIRITUAL THAN THE REALITY WE SEE. ALMOST EVERY MOMENT, THE STILL QUITE VOICE THAT SPEAKS AND HELPS ME TO MAKE CHOICES IN MY EVERYDAY LIFE, WAS ENCOURAGING ME TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD, THE REVELATION THAT FACTUALLY THE SPIRITUAL MAKE UP OF OUR BEING IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN OUR HUMANITY. THEY ARE GREATER UNSEEN ELEMENTS OF OUR EXISTENCE THAN WE CARE TO ACKNOWLEDGE. NURTURED AS A CHILD TO BE A BELIEVING CHRISTIAN, I WAS TAUGHT TO ACCEPT THE HOLY TRINITY, FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT. THE THIRD PART OF THIS EQUATION WAS NEVER EMPHASIZED. AS A MATTER OF FACT I WAS ENCOURAGED TO FEAR THE SPIRITUAL PART. IN SOME INSTANCES IT WAS PRESENTED AS A GHOST TO BE AFRAID OF, NOT KNOWING THAT THIS ENTITY WAS YOU, AND ONLY YOU. MY REALIZATION OF THE POWER OF THIS COMPANION, THIS SPIRITUAL PART, WAS ONLY REVEALED TO ME AFTER WRITING MY THIRD MANUSCRIPT, TITLED "CAN THE DESERT BLOOM AGAIN." IT LED ME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THERE WAS A GREATER SIDE TO MY EXISTENCE, EVERY ASPECT OF MY LIFE. I HAVE DEVELOPED OBEDIENCE TO MY COMPANION'S QUITE VOICE, WHICH MANEUVERED ME TO THE GREATER EXISTENCE OF MEMORY. THIS BOOK "UNLOCKING THE SECRET OF MEMORY" IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, CONFIDENT THAT IT WILL LEAD ME TO FATHOM GREATER DEPTHS THAN I HAD EVER HOPE TO UNEARTH. IT IS PROVOCATIVE IN PARTS, BUT I AM ONLY TRYING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT HAUNTS MY INQUISITIVENESS, AND IN DOING SO, I ASK THE READER TO OPEN THEIR MIND THAT YEAR'S OF INDOCTRINATION HAS PLACED US. YOU MAY DISAGREE WITH MY FINDINGS, BUT I AM SURE YOUR MIND WILL BE STIMULATED TO ALSO SEEK ANSWERS. IT'S MY EXPERIENCE THAT THE FLOWERS IN THE WORLD CANNOT ALL BLOOM AT THE SAME TIME. IT IS A PLEASURE TO SHARE.
