  • Prometheus Reborn: From Illness to Insight

    In a single night, I went from perfect health to the precipice of death, not knowing if I’d return. I will never know, really, why I lived. But I 𝘥𝘰 know why I'm alive. 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘶𝘴 𝘙𝘦𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘯 is the story of one man's journey to the edge of life, what he found there, and the gift that he brought back.

    In a single night, I went from perfect health to the precipice of death, not knowing if I’d return. I will never know, really, why I lived. But I 𝘥𝘰 know why I'm alive. 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘶𝘴 𝘙𝘦𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘯 is the story of one man's journey to the edge of life, what he found there, and the gift that he brought back.

    The journey isn’t for the faint of heart. But since it all began—with a sudden burst of pain, a dream that seemed to speak beyond the veil, and a body unraveling under forces I barely understood—I've spent hundreds of hours grappling with an experience that was horrific, surreal, and, yet, something of beauty.

    Why did I get the mysterious illness that almost ended my life? What was behind events that were both surreal and numbingly mundane—yet so obviously driven by a larger intent? Why have I felt so driven to share what I have learned?

    What if the depths of despair are guides to our most authentic, most infinite selves? What if the trials we face are the fires of our own rebirth? What if my pain allows 𝘺𝘰𝘶 to become Prometheus Reborn?

    For those who feel trapped, whether by illness or the weight of an unfulfilled life, this book is my gift to you. It is, most emphatically, NOT a pitch, a lead magnet, or anything else that would betray the sacredness of my journey. It is, instead, a beacon for anyone seeking something deeper beneath life's pain.

    Download this book in the Featured section above (or DM me for an email copy), share my journey, and let your own spirit be reborn.
