Author's Disclaimer: I know that I am identified as "white" in this nation and world. I know that this identification and "branding" affords me considerable unearned privileges and opportunities which those who are not "branded" as "white" do not possess. That is the current reality, however it is a perverted, distorted, deluded, and false, man-made, American-and-European-manufactured, reality --- not an authentic one. The sub-title of this memoir could have been "One man's journey from delusion and false identity to his authentic self."
So, I share my story of awakening (or "awokening") with the hope that it may help you discover your authentic self and identity, and then act on that discovery in ways that bring us closer to our collective authentic reality of oneness.
Join the author, internationally acclaimed community activist and organizer, on his six decade journey of exciting and insightful life adventures and experiences on the path to self-discovery, self-determination and discovery of the true realities of the world. Moving through the stages of dependence, independence and ultimately interdependence, he becomes a "woke" warrior fighting "the triple evils" of racism, poverty, and militarism, and a peacemaker building intentional "beloved communities.
Moving from otherness to oneness, in this series produced by The Global Woke Institute, co-founded by the author (whose story is told in this narrative work), you will learn how to find your true purpose and authentic self, and then actualize that into servant leadership roles which benefit you, your family and the community and world around you, fulfilling the vision of MLKJr's "network of mutuality" : "In a real sense all life is inter-related. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be...
This is the inter-related structure of reality." --- Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham Jail and the Struggle That Changed a Nation
