If A Fool Like Dan Can Be Enlightened, So Can You! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781420879469)

World's Oldest Boy Survives Earthquake, Tsunami, Death and More. On His Journey to Enlightenment Now that I've got your attention, this is not going to be a "Chicken Soup for the Soul" kind of book. Instead, it is a very real, down-and-dirty, lusty life chronicle that could very possibly change your life. I'd say this book is more like an "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Dharma" adventure. So, if this is more your style, keep reading. I'm sure some of this book may be too radical for some blissed-out soul seeker types, but I've got to be real because truth is all I've got. I'm what you would call "The bad boy of enlightenment" as I'm not your typical saintly soul seeker am quite rough around the edges I eat meat, I prefer a good party to a group meditation, and I suffer from an array of personal defects. You're probably thinking, "Gandhi he ain't." And I will tell you, "You're right " But in spite of all that, I have always had a passionate desire to find God and figure out what the hell this "enlightenment" thing is everyone talks about. Famous people claim it's the best buzz in the universe. Me? I've always liked a good buzz, so I figured enlightenment was for me, too. I wish someone would have shared their truth with me before I started my adventure. I might have been saved a scar or two. Of course, considering the way that I am, it probably wouldn't have made any difference. I seem to learn only through direct and dramatic experiences. Heck, why miss out on the adventure? Let me share some truth with you right now. Believe it or not, each of us is a spiritual being on a wondrous journey back home to God. The challenges we have in our life are but steppingstones that toughen us up and help us to learn the most important lesson of all: to Love. Quite simply, we are each a divine spark of God and God is Love. But many of us forget that fact and put ourselves through all sorts of ordeals, heartache, and unpleasant things as we struggle to make it through life. I certainly did and have the scars and broken bones to prove it. As a matter of fact, you could consider my tales are more like war stories. These war stories may turn your tummy inside-out.for the enemy was that dreadful Who was this hideous enemy you might ask? The war I waged was against my own self, which made this thorny foe almost invincible. I'm here to tell you that no matter what you've been through in life, no matter how many mistakes and dumb things you think you've done: if I can reach enlightenment after all I've been through, then so can you
