My holy brothers and sisters,

I have read many books relating to spirituality during my life, including an intensive study of the Bible.  The most important and valuable book to me has been A Course In Miracles.  I believe it to be of divine origin...a profound work of spiritual truth.  It has transformed my life.  Therefore I strongly recommend this book to those of you who are sincerely seeking answers to your spiritual questions.

I am not a Christian.  The New Testament is untrustworthy for the truth of Jesus’ teaching.  It was heavily edited by church authorities throughout the centuries to comply with their religious agenda, which was to strengthen and maintain their power over the people.  Although there is still much truth in the New Testament account, it is seriously distorted by misunderstanding and deliberate falsification.  A Course In Miracles will reveal the true Jesus to you.

"...ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." -  The Bible (KJV)

Peace

My daughter is a beautiful, joyful, loving spirit.  I love her.  My happiness is sharing our life together.  We will always be together in the spirit.

***********************************************

The Holy Spirit calls everyone to the truth, but few of you choose to listen.  Love is the truth.  You are either motivated by the power of love, or by the love of power.  Live in the spirit...relinquish your ego. Purify your heart of all judgment and hatred. God is Love. It is your holy duty to love our Father's creation...everyone, every creature, everything. Allow no religious dogma or ANY differences to cause you to judge and reject anything from your love. The Holy Spirit will bless your life with beautiful and wonderful miracles.

"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God."

"...I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

-The Bible (KJV)
 
 
I raised Christine, as a single father, since she was three.  She has been a wonderful blessing in my life.  I am very happy she chose me to be her father.  She is filled with the Holy Spirit.  Thousands of American prisoners, and others suffering from poverty, have received large quantities of humanitarian supplies through her charity, which she established in 1998.  It is our Father's will we love one another...to relieve suffering in our human family.  Christine is truly fulfilling the meaning of her name, "Follower of Christ."  The Holy Spirit has been performing many miracles through her.  She is always joyfully reflecting our Father's love for us.  Her greatest works are yet to come.

**********************************************************

The world is meaningless because it is the belief love is impossible. Do not value this valueless world.  It will ultimately fail you.  The reality is love is the only meaning.  All else is illusion of meaning.  You are spiritually corrupt to the degree you choose not to love.  Heaven or hell in your life is your decision.  You must relinquish your ego to live in the spirit.  They cannot coexist.  Choose to always love in every situation.  A miracle will happen.  The truth will free you of your unhappiness.  You will be living in the world, but not of the world.

chessset.jpg

This photograph was taken by a newspaper photographer when I was 35.  The reporter interviewed me and published a long article about my professional chess career.  Also, a television story was broadcast.
 
My self-made, extra-large chess set in the photograph is a beautiful handcrafted original valued at $1,000.  The King is 7 1/2 inches tall, and the board is 3 foot square. There is no other chess set like it in the world.
 
I taught myself chess when I was 13, and began avidly playing and studying chess books...particularly many of the published games of Bobby Fischer, the former American World Chess Champion.  I was always victorious against my opponents, except for an occasional rare defeat when I made a tactical mistake with another strong player. 
 
I love chess.  It is a fine war game, very intellectually challenging and satisfying.  It was an important part of my life for many years.

Solitude is essential to me.  I have rarely spoken with anyone since 1995.  My home is a cabin in the Rocky Mountains where I have lived since 1985.  I am usually always here or camping 1-3 weeks deep in the forest.  The common emotional weakness of loneliness never disturbs me.  I have absolutely no social needs.  That is my strength...and for those of you who do, your weakness.  I would be perfectly content living in a mountain cave for the rest of my life, never seeing another soul, except for my beloved daughter.

I have but one Friend.  He suffices.  The mountains are my holy sanctuary: the forest, sunshine, and singing birds my joy…the darkness, silence, and stillness of the night my peace.  I return to my Self in solitude.

*******************************************************************

All religious concepts are false.  There may be some elements of truth in them, but it is always a mistake to imprison your mind within any religion.  They are all futile man-made attempts to comprehend God, who is far beyond all fallible mental activity. 

Many historical examples of evil have been perpetrated and condoned by religion.  For example, millions of German Christians fanatically gave their allegiance to Adolph Hitler during his rise to power, the Second World War, and the Holocaust.  The pulpits of German churches were draped in the Nazi swastika flag as pious Christians "worshipped" God, whose representative was Hitler, their "savior."  The case for insanity is very strong to the spiritually insane; it was apparently easy for them to reconcile their Christian dogma with Nazi doctrine.  Only a few courageous German Christians like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor

and theologian, recognized and actively resisted the evil of the Third Reich.

There are numerous other historical examples of persecution and atrocities committed in the name of religion, not restricted only to Christianity.  However, it has been a major offender for 2,000 years.  Hypocrisy is very common among the Christians.  You will rarely find Christ in their churches.  Attendance each Sunday is just an important social ritual for the majority; they can piously feel good without being good.  They proudly claim to be expressing the love Jesus taught us, but their hateful attitude and behavior toward others reveals their heart.  They are spiritually insane.

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits." -The Bible (KJV)

 
Do not imprison your mind within the false concepts of any religion.  You will only be deceiving yourself that you know God.  Again, I strongly recommend you obtain and study A Course In Miracles.

This oil painting is the only existing of five I painted at age 20-21.  The other four were unfortunately destroyed.  I loved art since childhood, but chess became my dominate passion as an adult.

I fly the American flag every morning from the pole in front of my home because I am grateful for the political freedom it represents, based on The Constitution and Bill of Rights.

All Americans should deeply appreciate those who fought to achieve and defend our wonderful freedom, unique in human history.

Christine is a genius.  She has always loved reading since childhood, like her mentor of many years, Gore Vidal.  Her knowledge and wisdom far exceeds most others her age.  She has excelled in every area that interested her all her life.  Her integrity, courage, and love of truth is extraordinary.
 
****************************************************

I listen to classical music for an hour every day as I have my breakfast.  One selection, Giordani: Caro mio ben, invariably causes me to weep uncontrollably.  It releases the deep unhappiness I have felt for most of my life since childhood.  I have always felt like an alien in the world.  I chose to come here, but cannot remember why.

I forgive everyone who mistreated me during my life.  They did not know what they were doing...not recognizing me as their brother whom they should have loved.  They were not in their right mind.  Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world.  It is also your function.  Lay down your heavy burden of anger and bitterness.  Do not blame and condemn another for their spiritual insanity...they do not know what they do.
