When I first started to write books, I thought that if I could stop one man from harming someone else or himself then it would have been all worthwhile.
I almost died twice trying to sacrifice myself to save my first wife and family, and I had absolutely no idea why I was doing it. I didn’t want to see someone else doing the same thing.
I realised that no-one was going to come to f**king save me. I had to save myself.
In my new book I tell the stories of how my family was impacted by violence, famine, genocide, war and heartbreak, and how I inherited my addiction to drama from my family.
I inherited outrage from my grandmother, and survivor’s guilt from my grandfather.
I have fought for ten years to outwit my own addiction to drama and despite having failed many times in the process, I now have succeeded.
To succeed I had to evolve: to grow a spine; step into my power; and, then open my heart. It’s taken me five years of adventures to do this, and my clients have had amazing results too.
My purpose for writing remains the same but my scope has evolved to educating and informing on how we are all addicted to drama - so that people can choose to save themselves.
And, with my own evolution, my call to action has also evolved into a call to fight.
A call to fight by outwitting our addiction to drama.
This is why I call it a ‘velvet revolution’ because in choosing to fight to outwit our addiction to drama, we choose to fight for our freedom:
Choosing to save ourselves first is how we grow a spine through self-knowledge.
Learning to say no to bullshit is how we step into our power through self-benevolence.
Opening our hearts gives us the courage to take risks and make mistakes, without blaming and shaming ourselves. This is self-sovereignty.
It all starts with a velvet revolution for conscious leadership.
The revolution I want to initiate you into, is to direct you away from force towards strength, away from victimization towards freedom and away from entropy towards freshness.
Instead of forcing yourself to comply with the expectations of your upbringing, self-knowledge becomes your strength.
Instead of blaming and shaming ourselves and others, self-benevolence becomes your freedom.
Instead of numbing yourself with entertainment and alcohol, self-sovereignty becomes your fresh creative new lifeforce.
I want to impregnate your mind with the desire to become a ‘conscious leader’ for yourself, your family and your community. A conscious leader that knows that:
Benevolence only starts when you learn to treat yourself with compassion.
Power only starts when you learn to say ‘no’ to bullshit.
Leadership only starts when you reject the messages of politicians selling ’salvation’.
Because we don’t just inherit our addiction-to-drama from our families
We also inherit our talents of courage, fortitude and leadership from our families.
A velvet revolution #2 - outwitting the neo-fascists
Through the lens of addiction-to-drama, my book ALSO tells the stories of how my family was impacted by fascism during the 1930s, 40s and 50s.
My book is also a call to fight with cunning and fortitude to outwit the evolution of the politicians who call themselves patriots and are selling salvation.
These politicians sell ‘salvation’ to the masses, take all their money and then leave them to die having milked them and their family for every dollar.
Working until it is no longer profitable to keep us alive is the industrialization of genocide.
This is not capitalism, it is neo-fascism. To illustrate this evolution of neo-fascism, I make the case that the healthcare insurance system in the USA has become industrial genocide.
The US healthcare insurance system has evolved to embody the very same ethos as the message above the gate at Auschwitz that says ‘work will set one free’ - and then the AI decides when you will die.
My velvet revolution #2 is written to impart the lesson that it is far better to outwit the fascists long before they try to kill you.
Whether it be on the end of a fascist’s bayonet like my grandfather, or by having your healthcare insurance claim denied by an AI.
It all starts with you choosing to save yourself first, because no-one is coming to f**king save you.
You have to fight for your freedom, or die trying.
