    About this ebook

    We Did It forms part of a global intention to restore order and balance to our planet Earth that seems desperately in need of healing. It speaks to the deeper contours of our human awareness and challenges everyone to elevate to higher levels of consciousness; to operate effectively at the level of expected dominion and to embrace the challenges of personal responsibility needed in order to make the world a better place for all of humanity.

    We Did It is a purposeful review of a lifes journey. It delves deeply beneath the core tapestry of some of the greatest challenges of its generation, including homosexuality and HIV/AIDS, and appropriately offers an opportunity for the cleansing process of restoration, tolerance and transcendence.

    We Did It is about promoting peace, about love; it is about attaining your highest expectation and uncovering possibilities as productive co-creators on the planet. A positive response is likely to make manifest an evolution with greater understanding and offers the promise of a journey back to perfect alignment with source: life, love, and nature; a resulting brotherhood and an awakened oneness of spirit in a very diverse and complex world that now must learn to co-exist both peacefully and consciously for its own survival.

      INTRODUCTION

      OVERVIEW

      We Did It is an objective review of my life’s experiences over a period of 40 years. I was born in the year 1972, approximately 10 years before the first reported case of HIV/AIDS in the United States. The writings of this book outline the realities of the journey through homosexuality, HIV/Aids and finally transcendence with the hope of bringing enlightenment and possible resolution to the dysfunction and apparent sufferings of humanity across the globe. It is official that HIV /Aids is an international epidemic and is noted as the first ever.

      According to Worldwide HIV/AIDS statistics published by AVERT 2011, HIV/ Aids related deaths across the globe have accumulated in the vicinity of some 30million people. The report also confirmed that another 34 million people across the globe, children included, are now infected with the disease; an upward trend from the 8 million recorded in 1990. Other significant revelations in the report were that the disease has already knocked off decades of some countries national development, widened the gulf between rich and poor nations and has pushed already stigmatized groups closer to the margins of society.

      In retrospect, though I applaud President Obama’s and his administration‘s commitment to high quality life extended care for people infected with the disease free of stigma and discrimination with the passage of the Affordable Care Act, his position on the elimination of HIV entry ban, his vision of zero new infections and his attempts to promote greater awareness of the disease. I hereby vehemently suggest that perhaps the time has come for a more conscientious conversation about providing real freedom for all involved. I have a premonition that maybe this review could serve as the catalyst for a revisit of the perceived foregone conclusions and possibly preempt a new commitment to finding and enforcing an even more objective end to the apparent trend.

      In my pursuit of trying to find purpose to life I had an inclination that I would serve humanity in some way, shape or form. My conclusion seemed inevitable especially when considering my personality and the energy I felt when contributing to other people’s success. The reasonable expectation, based on my perception, was that I would operate in the areas of my gifting. However in time, not to minimize the moments of apprehension, I did come to the understanding that my assumption of how I am to serve was a bit misguided. That realization came somewhere in the course of my personal spiritual evolution when I accidentally came across a Bruce Wilkinson’s book ‘The Prayer of Jabez.’ In the book Bruce highlighted the scripture Not by might nor by power but by my spirit says the Lord of host.(Zechariah 4:6) He further inferred in his writing that God does not use strengths but rather weaknesses and willingness in order to accomplish his plans.

      While we’re on the subject of finding purpose I should mention that I also recalled hearing the expression made by a prominent television evangelist that one’s purpose in life is connected to the problems they solve. This position also seems consistent with The Universal Law of Relativity, according to Drs. Milanovich and McCune, in The Light Shall Set you Free (1998), which states:

      "Every person receives a series of problems

      for the purpose of strengthening the light within."

      Incidentally, I do embrace the concept that the universe operates under a composite of laws and is in divine order. In retrospect, in my meditations, I came to my own consciousness as to what the assertion To Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteous as recorded in the Bible meant (Matt 6:33KJV). Obviously I fervently contend that God’s kingdom is universal and includes all of humanity. With that in mind, being part of the universal construct, as a fragment of God, my primary purpose, I concluded, is to be the vehicle for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven, objectively forming part of the energy of divine universal order. On the point of heaven I should note that incidentally I am consciously aware that the location of where heaven might be is a highly debated issue but for the purpose of this book I would settle for heaven being that inner place of righteousness, peace and joy for reasons that may become apparent as you proceed with your reading.

      I submit to you that I am truly just in service, making my contribution to the universe the way I feel I should. I also surrender that none of the dramas expressed was ever in part my intended ambition. In fact they were some of the most difficult circumstances I have had to endure and certainly demanded as a consequence substantial personal growth; greater will power, higher level of spiritual awareness and obviously an appropriate response. Conclusively I am now conscious that my steps were always ordered by God; that I was always part of a process that is much bigger than the obstacles that I at the time considered as my cross to carry. I now recognize that I had a sacred contract to fulfill. Interestingly it is also apparent that my soul was always aware.

      As previously insinuated, this awareness to serve was not initially greeted as welcoming news. I personally would have preferred discussing any other business on the planet, than that of my own apparent troubles and now presumed calling. Rationally I reasoned in my mind that the issues I am about to address seem extremely sensitive and perhaps what everybody seems to wish they could avoid discussing.

      I question the universe many times; WHY ME! I initially saw the challenges but in time I somberly accepted with great awareness the responsibility to deliver and the need to surrender to the higher power. I was very mindful of the possible number of people who could potentially be empowered, as a result of my experiences, to work out their own salvation. I also considered the perceivable freedoms at so many levels that could become material; I had no other reasonable option but to surrender. In retrospect I undoubtedly got my answer from the universe; WHY NOT YOU!

      For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance

      ~ Romans 11:29 KJV

      To that end as part of my own liberation to speak on the issues I also came to terms with the new knowledge gained. That who I am is not defined by the experiences of my life but who I am is the consciousness, the thinker, the observer,
