Day 22: Describe a dark/turbulent moment in your life.
This has to do with the hardest lesson in my life: It’s about trusting strangers. Back in 2007, I meant a spook online. The bluish, gray backdrop of his photograph is VERY similar to the one that Garrett had as his Yahoo! Avatar while chatting online via Yahoo! Messenger. JB was one of many in a “network” of “fellow brothers”, who possessed “special gifts”. I will never know who he really is, what he really wanted and how dare he pushed me into believing in nefarious activities.
Although I’ve become ill-humored, sarcastic and cynical and almost rendered insane and for it’s worth, I’m still left in the dark. I only recently come to realize how far and wide teachers, masters or advanced souls can manifest to test our greatest fears from within — our inner demons, in the form of food, sex, money, friends, etc. You name it.
That particular moment taught me that I really wasn’t using my head but acted all alone and from the heart without the intention of getting back what they took from moi — my hard-earned pennies! But in return for a price of extreme loss and sadness that was well paid out of my stupidity but genuine generosity, I gained a much DEEPER understanding on how the world truly operates and other blessed amenities, such as beautiful weather; good health; nice jobs and loving families, too!
