My Spiritual Life Was Altered in Solitary Confinement

It makes a big difference to go outside and feel the winds to be in the midst of what God has given to humanity from the formation of earth - the sky, the clouds, and sometimes the sun and the moon.

 

As I was praying and meditating this afternoon, I could not help but wonder how it was possible that I was able to survive three years in the dungeons of Leavenworth USP. I came to know hunger, thirst, sadness, loneliness, chains, shackles, darkness, and coldness. At times I wished that I would not be alive anymore on this earth. Yes, I went through all of these changes. They are changes that many human beings on this earth will never experience, and I pray to God that no one ever has to go through what I did.

 

For the longest time I was strong. Gradually my strength and desire to stay alive weakened like never before in my life. At times I would ask God to please take my life. It was during one of those days that I was on my knees, chained and shackled,  not knowing if I was going to survive such inhumane treatment. Even an animal would receive better care than I, and I was a human being.

 

Never will I ever forget that out of nowhere I could hear a voice coming into my soul, conveying for me to stand up, off my knees, and to be thankful to God because I was alive. From that day on I would not only be alive, but I would have pride, discipline, dignity and love, sharing with God and my beloved brother, Jesus Christ, that I would never again display signs of weakness. I would let the world know that I will struggle and fight for freedom to the last day that it takes of my life and the lives of those who join this journey of liberation.

 

I know that it was my beloved brother, Jesus Christ, who came into the cold darkness. I was on my knees feeling sorry for myself because I had been praying and asking Him to come into my heart and soul and He did.

 

There is much going on in the world today. At the very end, when all the dust settles, it will all be about spirituality, God, and the different religious beliefs and convictions throughout the world. It is all about God -- the one who created this world.

 

The time has come for the world to realize that the only way to resolve differences is to first resolve one’s difference with God. After this, everything will be clear, because God does not intend to bring harm or sadness to humanity. He created the world for the purpose of knowing freedom, justice, peace, faith, spirituality and love, love, and more love.

 

The world is afraid to use the term love. They believe that it is a sign of weakness and this is the greatest mistake that we can make. May God forgive the world and may God forgive those who unjustly and unlawfully confined my life for the last 20 years.

 

Amor,
