And for the most part I have succeeded in this as these writings began something really amazing in my life. At the time I had studied to be a psychologist in college until 1973 when I got with my first wife and then when she got pregnant I dropped out of school to financially support the 3 of us. In 1973 I would have been 25 years old already and had gone to college and worked and gone to college like that since 1966. So, by age 20 in 1968 I was working in the computer Field (primarily with IBM equipment at age 20use but by 1971 I returned to college for 2 years studying to become a psychologist because I really believed I could help people in this way as I had learned counseling skills from my parents who were ministers in their church in Los Angeles.
So, one day I was living in Mt. Shasta having newly remarried with full custody of my son and my new wife had been married with two children and we both were 32 years old at that time. We got some Goats at the Zen Abbey then and could keep them where we were living okay and sold the milk and cheese from the two milk goats to friends mostly which helped us some but we ate a lot of the goat milk and goat cheese ourselves.
One day I walked to Pine Grove health food store nearby where we lived and bought some organic food there and walked back carrying to brown paper bags of groceries then in likely spring or summer of 1980 at our rental house on the corner of Lassen land and Old stage Road in Mt. Shasta. The house was old then so it has been torn down and other things put up to live in since then because after all this was now 46 years ago about this time of year when we first moved in there at that old house.
So, after unloading the groceries after walking home from Pine Grove health food store in 1980 I sat out on the front lawn and got a pen and began to write on the brown paper grocery bags the first few pages of Arcane in the first part of "Memories". The Name memories didn't show up for me until the late 1980s and over several years I wrote the Arcane part of being put on a planet in a time war first. Then I wrote about Elohar and Ragna when we lived for awhile on the San Francisco Coast later that year or the next one. Also, I built with my father and friends and my new wife an A-Frame on 2 1/2 acres of land we bought in the Mt. Shasta wilderness with a stream flowing through it from summer until fall when it was finished enough to live in for us. My father welded up a wood stove for keeping our A-Frame mountain house warm during winters with up to 7 feet of snow then. (12 feet there within last two years from now) until April or June according to a friend of mine who lived out there who passed away a year or so ago now.
So, this new writing style of mine writing about Arcane changed my life in many ways and became over time sort of like my personal Bible or Creation Story which changed my life dramatically in a good way.
So, this helped heal the traumas I had already survived like whooping cough, Concussion and seizures from 10 to 15 at night and leaving my parents religion at 21 years old.
All these things and breakups with Girlfriends I loved along the way were very difficult for me to process and live with ongoing.
But, as we know life here on earth is never perfect and we are lucky to survive here at all.
So, just survival is something to be very grateful that we can be with family and friends and keep on living and visiting or living in places like Mt. Shasta or along the ocean of California or in Hawaii which I also did in 1974 and in 1989 and 1990 along the way too.
But, writing in this legendary Science Fiction style I found healed me a lot. and then at age 50 when I almost died for 9 months I realized I wasn't writing fiction at all but about previous lifetimes in the past, present and future that I have already lived here in the present.
When I realized this this really blew my mind a lot because then I realized how helpful my writings would be for Earth people and others to read to understand better their future throughout this Galaxy and possibly other Galaxies too.
