I started retreating in 1976 to Mt. Shasta to get away from the Los Angeles and San Diego areas where I had mostly grown up even though I was born in Seattle and lived there until I was 4 where most of my relatives likely still live.
But then, I became a single father in the summer of 1977 and left and didn't return to the Mt. Shasta area in 1979 to help a French Architect who was a friend of mine build a Spec house. I mostly stayed there until the next year when I met my 2nd wife and we bought land in a remote area of Mt. Shasta nearer to McCloud and I built us an A-frame with my father's and friends help. Even our kids helped build the A-Frame we called home for about 5 years from 1980 to 1985 when we stopped home schooling our children and moved back to the San Francisco Bay are and bought another business so our kids could go to school through college and get good educations to start their lives in adulthood which they did.
But, the 5 years from 1980 to 1985 saved my life when I was 32 to 37 years of age because I was able to heal from the truth of life a sort of Swiss Family Robinson kind of existence of home schooling our children and studying with Native American Medicine Men and Tibetan Lamas in California, Oregon, India and Nepal. Retreating once I had learned the truth about life for about 5 years also saved my life and gave me hope for the future which is why I'm still alive at age 73 and not dead like many of my friends from the 1960s and 1970s now.
If you don't survive the truth then your life just ends and that's all.
There is a saying: "Know the Truth and the Truth will set you FREE!"
This is true but only if you can survive it in a human body here on earth!"
By God's Grace
