Hi everyone!
My story of awakening is pretty long. I recently wrote an autobiography about the entire transition and posted it at we-are-1.net.
Here is the summary: A year ago I was a hardcore atheist in complete denial of anything metaphysical. I was religious as a child, but my search for unbiased truth led me to abandon Christianity at a fairly young age. I spent about 16 years debating against religion at every opportunity, trying to get people to wake up to the reality that God does not exist.
There were a few catalysts over the past year that triggered the first cracks in this worldview. First came my experimentation with psychedelics, then I started studying crop circles. I wasn't sure what I believed during this period, but my mind was starting to open up to the possibility that there was more to our reality than what we commonly accept in our day-to-day lives.
My wife discovered The Law of One through Wikipedia a few months ago, and to be honest I thought the whole thing was pretty silly at first. I am a skeptic, but I am also an information-seeking skeptic, so I decided to dig into The Law of One before dismissing it outright.
The more I studied The Law of One, the more it started to sink in that it was not a hoax. My mind was blown, and yet, it fit together with everything else I knew to be true -- cosmology, quantum physics, near-death experiences, the holographic universe theory, and my own personal experiences with psychedelics. All this stuff just clicked together when I viewed it through the framework of The Law of One.
Hilariously enough, this whole process happened while I was finishing writing an atheism-themed interactive fiction Flash game titled "God's Assassin" -- it was loosely based on a novel I'd been writing since I was 13 years old. You can play the beta at we-are-1.net/CYOA_1.swf if you want.
When The Law of One really clicked for me, I couldn't stop laughing about how my entire life had been leading up to that one enormous moment of irony. I had been writing the story for about 16 years, and it had turned into an atheist soap box. While editing the final draft, I came to understand that God was real -- maybe not a personal/anthropomorphic god, but an infinite consciousness that was the source of all of creation.
In that moment of realization, I decided to write the full autobiography of how such an enormous shift in worldview occurred. I made a donation to L/L Research, and I asked the team to fact-check my summary of the material (thanks Austin!) before posting it online. I'm now planning to include a link to this autobiography in my interactive fiction Flash game once it launches. The ultimate goal is to promote the message that all is one, and promoting the Ra material is a major part of this endeavor.
Like many people here, I can see in hindsight that everything in my life happened exactly as it needed to happen in order for me to awaken. My difficulties in childhood yielded invaluable life lessons, the people I've met contributed enormously to opening my mind (even if I didn't realize it at the time!), and my insatiable search for truth ultimately led me to conclude that we are all experiencing fragments of the same infinite consciousness.
I also created a Kiva charity team at kiva.org/team/we_are_1 to spread the message that all is one -- if you already use Kiva, consider joining my team!
Anyway, I know this post is glossing over a lot of details in my story, but everything is explained at we-are-1.net. I would love to hear anyone's reaction to the text, and I would be happy to answer any questions. Thanks for reading!
