From my warm and loving upbringing, I should have developed a strong and stable head on my shoulders. Yet something grew in my mind that made it impossible for me to live healthily and lovingly in this world. I dove into hardcore escapism via the means of drug addiction, toxic relationships, self-harm, and rebellion, and almost didn’t make it out. Luckily, at the pivotal moment in my mid-twenties, I was saved by a massive, overwhelming paradigm shift which left my mind in a completely different state than it had been. It was a true Deux Ex Machina, because nothing in my trajectory pointed at such a miraculous shift in perception. Following that moment was a lifetime of growing into the liberating dynamics of generosity, compassion, understanding, and unconditional love.
Heart of Gold follows the story of my perception as I devoted myself to the beautiful art of letting go. It gives real examples of the thought processes that I developed which enable me to feel free and loving in the face of every situation that life could possibly present to me. I trust that this book will serve to empower the reader, and let them know that they can transcend the circumstances of their own lives by harnessing the true power within.
