Summary: Nothing I did prior to 1995 makes any difference to me. That is the year of my awakening under my Guru, Robert Adams (1928-1997). Nothing I am now has anything to do with my education, previous writings or worldly attainments. They are irrelevant. What I am now is the present. For those who still wish more information...
