&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong> &nbsp;Peace, Love &amp; Light,</strong><br><strong>&nbsp;*********************************************************************</strong><br><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; My name is Ken Luball.&nbsp; Spiritual Seeker ~ Author ~ Guide.&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</strong><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;*********************************************************************</strong><br><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Author of "The Awakening Tetralogy: A series of Four Spiritual Books".</strong><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;*********************************************************************</strong><br><br><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Ever since I was a young child, I knew my purpose in life; it was for me to Awaken, find Enlightenment, and share my experience and knowledge with others. To reach those lofty aspirations though, I first had to navigate through quite a few unexpected detours in my life.</strong><strong>&nbsp;<strong>Though I was brought up in a religious family, it did not help me&nbsp;</strong></strong><em>Hear</em><strong>&nbsp;the messages from my&nbsp;</strong><em>Spirit Guide, Bodhi.<strong>&nbsp;</strong></em><strong>If anything, religion only further isolated me, teaching me to accept the&nbsp;</strong><em>Ego’s</em><strong>&nbsp;view of religion rather than&nbsp;</strong><em>Bodhi’s.</em><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;It was not until after I stopped following a formal religion, I finally was able to embrace&nbsp;</strong><em>Spirituality</em><strong>, and with this embrace, I&nbsp;</strong><em>Awoke</em><strong>.</strong><br>&nbsp;<br><em>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Spirituality</em><strong>&nbsp;is the belief there is a piece of God (a&nbsp;</strong><em>Spirit</em><strong>) within everything that has life, and, because of this, all life is important, equal, and connected.</strong><strong>&nbsp;<strong>After I&nbsp;</strong></strong><em>Awoke</em><strong>, no longer having the dogma of religion handicapping my views, I was suddenly free to explore this philosophy of life more deeply. Only then did I become aware of the <em>Mask </em>I wore and the impenetrable <em>Wall </em>I had erected around my Heart; the <em>Mask </em>and<em> Wall</em> allowed me to survive in the world. I would always smile, appear happy, though, I would often feel intense anxiety within. This was something I never really understood until the moment I confronted my&nbsp;<em>Ego</em>. Little did I know, these survival mechanisms would have a profound effect on me for the majority of my life. By protecting me from emotional pain, they also isolated me from my family, everyone else in my life, and even from myself. No one could hurt me because I did not allow anyone to get close enough to do so. In turn, no one could love me or was I able to truly love another either. This superficial life, one devoid of risk or pain, left me&nbsp;</strong><em>alone</em><strong>&nbsp;in a sea of people.</strong><br>&nbsp;<br><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;It took many years before the first cracks in my&nbsp;</strong><em>Wall</em><strong>&nbsp;formed and before I could loosen the <em>M</em></strong><em>ask</em><strong>&nbsp;I constantly wore. It took me almost an entire lifetime to become&nbsp;to be <em>Awakened</em> and begin my journey towards </strong><em>Enlightenment.<strong> </strong></em><br>&nbsp;<br><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;After I was clearly able to “<em>hear</em>” my&nbsp;</strong><em>Spirit Guide,</em><strong>&nbsp;<em>Bodhi</em>, I realized everything I had</strong><em><strong>&nbsp;</strong>Learned</em><strong>&nbsp;from my&nbsp;</strong><em>Ego<strong>&nbsp;</strong></em><strong>throughout my life was untrue. I had looked for love and happiness in the job I had, the money I made, things I owned, and through my wife and children. With the exception of the latter, I finally realized none of those things truly mattered. This does not mean I am ungrateful to my&nbsp;</strong><em>Ego,</em><strong> however. It taught me coping skills and allowed me to “succeed”, or at least what I was taught success was. Though my <em>Ego</em> still remains with me, it has taken a more secondary position in my life now, relinquishing its former primary role to&nbsp;</strong><em>my Spirit Guide, Bodhi</em><strong>.</strong><br>&nbsp;<br><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Decisions were now required. While it was tempting to take this newly found state of being and withdraw from society and all the hate, fear, cruelty, poverty, and greed that plagues it, I knew within myself this gift of Enlightenment was to be shared with others. That is my destiny. Therefore, I have written “The Awakening Tetralogy”, a series of &nbsp;four “Spiritual” books, to share this knowledge with as many others as possible. It is my and&nbsp;</strong><em>Bodhi’s</em><strong>&nbsp;hope you will read these books, and in doing so, begin a new adventure. One where you will&nbsp;</strong><em>Awaken&nbsp;</em><strong>and further your journey towards&nbsp;</strong><em>Enlightenment&nbsp;</em><strong>with your Spirit Within.</strong><br>&nbsp;<br><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I do not know if our books will be read widely in my lifetime, though I hope one day they may help others&nbsp;<em>Awaken</em>&nbsp;and find&nbsp;<em>Enlightenment&nbsp;</em>as well.</strong><br>&nbsp;<br><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “<em>We are all on a Spiritual Journey of Love &amp; Peace; together may we spread “Light” throughout the world”</em></strong><strong> </strong><br><strong>&nbsp;</strong><br><br><strong>***</strong><br><br><strong>&nbsp;</strong><br><br><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Ken Luball is a Spiritual Seeker ~ Author ~ Guide on a mission to help Awaken as many people as possible.
