After many years of prayer and therapy, I wish to use ancient philosophy to help others. We live at a time of tremendous change. The only constant in this life is change. This book is dedicated to the young, the forgotten generation.
Many may find the narrow-door approach to life boring. Yet if you're looking for peace of mind, you must begin to unplug. I will not try to convert you to my way of thinking, but possibly a healthier method of musing. After years of using over-the-counter drugs to become a great writer, I almost lost my mind and my soul. I only pray this helps those of you who are seeking mental freedom from the current revolution around the globe.
Socrates lived and died speaking the truth. What is the truth? What is a lie? Why are the rich still, well, rich, and you, still poor? Luck, chance, birth, etc. Why does the Church tithe? Why is the Bible altered by the rich to serve their interests? Do you really believe God wants us all to be homeless, hungry, starving? Why does marriage not work? Why does owning beget more debt? Why are elections jokes to the common sense and dignity of man? Why is there still racism? Why do we have the NBA, the NFL, NHL, and NASCAR?
Combining research, history, philosophy, religion, and practical knowledge, Doc King Cole attempts to bring Socrates back to life. He beckons us to take the most important journey, the one blocked. The path to power is not through the barrel of a gun (Mao), but in the halls of your mind, of your soul. Tears run unlimited to hope.
To the listener: You and I are living a lie. People, places, and things are nouns until we put a “truth” in them. In this book, well, it is a hope you may not become a fool anymore. One philosopher wrote The Anti-Christ. This is the “Anti-Truth”. For in order for us to rise out of poverty, we must think, act, and improvise from a top-down approach.
This work is inspired by Thieves by Law, a documentary celebrating lives of the underworld.
