(i)am Publications

Over the years, as I was asked certain questions about the Meaning of Life and/or experienced its Truths myself, I tended to make notes about my discoveries, opinions and findings. Over time, these notes became various articles that I then sent to whomever showed interest. One of the purposes of this website is to make all of these collections available to the public. Every poem, pamphlet, article, calendar and book I have ever written will soon be included herein, and all of them will be able to be directly downloaded free of charge. I feel that I have received this information freely from the Universe, and thus I gladly give it all freely back to each of you ...

In order to make your search through what will soon be hundreds of different writings more efficient, I have grouped them into the five main categories below ...

Tools and Handbooks - various publications that provide practical information on how to embrace & attain the deeper levels of Peace & Meaning focused upon in this website.

Wisdom Anthologies - various collections of wisdom sayings, profound quotes, &/or meaningful commentaries engendered or encountered by the site's author during his journey as a Peace Pilgrim.

Proto-Christian Writings - various publications of biblical scholarship that focus on harmonizing the Bible's ancient Greek & Hebrew manuscripts with the more profound meanings & intentions of Jesus' life & teachings.

Peace-Full Inspirations - where I tended to group "everything else"; commentaries on finding Peace inside one's self and creating more Peace-full world - some based in humanity's politics, others in human psychology, and still others in wonderment or humor.

Celestial Calendars - two more meaning-full ways for readers to navigate any year.

Juggernauts of Justice - various tomes illuminating the abject rightness behind the cause of Animal Rights, alongside the objective wrongness of all animal use & abuse.


I have faith that you will find what you are looking for. If not, of course, please feel free to contact me and ask for more information on the question or theme that is of particular interest to you.




This is the workbook for the (i)am workshop on how to access the internal Wisdom of the conscience and how to interpret the external Guidance of what many call "synchronicity" (and what others call "coincidence", "hunch", "intuition", or "God's Will").
Activities, Wisdoms, Exercises, & Explanations that accompany the "Re-Discovering Peace" workshop I have shared many times over the past several years -- a workshop that allows its participants' "divine talk" to be divinely walked.
The workbook for the workshop that allows its participants to re-Discover the Word of God within the words of the Bible, while simultaneously rediscovering The Way of LOVE within the life of Jesus Christ -- and thereby rediscovering that same Way within their own lives as well.
There are many addictions that are just as destructive as alcohol or drug use -- addictions that we ALL exhibit in one manifestation or another, and it is with this Truth in mind that this book sets forth to help its readers both identify and free themselves from the hidden addictions that bind them.
A brief yet profound exposé of many of the more common myths & misconceptions related to love, partnership, romance, & relationship.
In case today has indeed been my last day -- and in case any of you might ever wonder what my "Last Wishes" were during my final, overflowingly-grateful-to-have-been-alive-at-all breath, here they are -- all eleven of them.

Without getting into whether or not God exists at all, this tome provides believers & non-believers alike with a scripturally-sound defense of The Divine; showing why the texts of the Bible to prove quite clearly that God is a God whose Love is perfect & without condition - that He is a God who refuses to test us with either trial or tribulation -- and that He is certainly a God who would never condemn us to eternal damnation for mistakes as petty as even the gravest of human sins.
This is a collection of brief commentaries (written from early 2011 through late 2014) on some of the Bible's most beloved (and some of its least understood) passages, parables, verses & sayings -- piercing the veils of man-made myth & church-made dogma to illuminate the far more glorious Truths therein.
This is a series of brief commentaries (written from early 2015 through mid 2016) on some of the Bible's most beloved (and least understood) passages, parables, verses & sayings -- piercing the veils of man-made myth & church-made dogma to release the far more glorious Truths therein.

This book preovides a deeper, gentler, and more accurate look into the Bible's final "chapter", the book of Revelation -- a look that contains quite a bit of profoundly important information, both for those considered "damned", and even more so for those conservative Christians doing that "damning."
This scholarly work takes form in two halves equal in both insight & importance. Part 1 (entitled "Reconciling the Resurrection") completely harmonizes the seemingly conflicting biblical accounts of the last days of Jesus Christ provided by the four Gospels, Acts & 1 Corinthians -- neutralizing all apparent contradictions therein and providing believer & non-believer alike with a singular, whole, scripturally sound story ... Part 2 (entitled "The Crucifixion Conspiracy") then goes on the use those same scriptures to show what the Bible itself infers "actually happened" on that very first "Easter weekend."
This tome offers a scripturally-sound and spiritually-neutral examination of what both reason & the Bible have to say about damnation & salvation (including the practical, non-religious consequences of each).

Yet another series of brief commentaries (written from February 2017 through June 2017) on some of the Bible's most beloved (and least understood) passages, parables, verses & sayings -- piercing the veils of man-made myth & church-made dogma to release the far more glorious Truths therein.
A collection of memes, mages, and commentaries that shed a great Light upon the Bible, the development & modern-day manifestation of the Christian Church, and indeed the nature of religion in general; showing subtly yet clearly how we humans need be no longer subservient to man-made creeds &/or church-made dogmas in order to live full &/or even fully spiritual lives.
A chronological documentation of the almost daily discourse I maintained back in 2010 with a Facebook page that at the time claimed to be relaying the actual words God; doing so in a traditionally conservative (and thus often highly condemnatory) fashion, a fashion that stridently called for the far more-loving commentaries (offered by a far more-Loving God) found herein.
A highly relevant work for Christians & non-Christians alike, this tome examines & exposes the starkly contrasting lives, values, & theologies of Jesus Christ and Paul; Jesus’ most zealous “apostle” -- Jesus most avid spiritual opponent, and yet the true father of the Christian church nonetheless.
An important tome that examines & illuminates the all-too-obvious fact that Jesus Christ was not so much an avid supporter of the Old Testament laws of his day as he was a radically thorough reformer (& indeed a boldly noble amender) thereof.
