In the mind of each person on the planet, a set of notions and ideas of God or gods reside. Some of these systems are basic and simple. Others are highly complex and complicated. Some borrow their God/god notions from authority, or from others they know. Others are much more original - eclectically piecing together many separate parts from multiple sources. No two people in the world experience and translate God/gods in the same way. And this is what makes things so interesting! As I have encountered this wonderful life, I have also bumped up against countless people who were in the position to explain exactly who God was and was not. They were quite sure of themselves, and anxious to impart this wisdom to me. But because I had a mind and heart of my own, this put me on the outside looking in, for much of my life. We all come to a place where we realize we must make our minds up as to what we will and will not do, how we will think and who we will be. As I have encountered them and their God/gods, I have found my own way through this foggy maze, and discovered a modicum of peace and reconciliation in the process. This is the massive task of all of us, as well as why I needed to lay it out to you, in this lengthy, 2-part book.

There's an easier way to win at poker than memorizing all the mathematical possibilities of every hand you draw. It's called playing smart. While most people concentrate on deciding what to do with the hand they've been dealt, playing smart means paying more attention to what the other players are doing-the choices they make and their personal reactions. Take control of every hand by using these tactics of intimidation and concealment to master the total situation at the table. Learn the subtle clues leaked by even the most poker-faced opponents, as over time they tip their hand about how they strategize hands, maximize their strengths, and hide their weaknesses. It's easy to perfect these proven bluffing techniques, and start winning more than you ever thought possible. You even get advice on how to apply your newfound bluff-and-bluster to demand a raise or face down a troublemaker.

Life is the biggest match we will ever play, and only we can win or lose depending on the quality of our game. If you are reading these lines, you, too, are experiencing the burning desire and curiosity to discover your inner Self. It’s the same force that drove me to collect inspiring historical leaders’ wisdom throughout the years, in various disciplines. If you’re open to new perspectives and trying to realize your “inner prophecy”, you are ready for the journey. It’s a journey that starts in the objective reality of a frenetic society lost in the ego race. Through the escape from our mental cages, it takes us to deeper parts of ourselves, driven to manifest a desirable future for ourselves and others. We’ll learn to develop strategy, tactics and a life plan, testing ourselves with practical, introspective exercises. We’ll become creators of a better community by taking personal responsibility and recognizing our unique “superpowers”, making the impossible possible. Now is the moment to start the journey, and it is an honour to accompany you in the discovery of your “IO” and subjective reality, the door beyond which your desired future awaits.
