FINALIST, THE BLAKE PRIZE 2022

From Babylon To Zion 2022 – Born into a devout religious family, I was given the biblical name Daniel and was birthed 8 pounds 14 ounces. Herald as a great sign, my name and weight confirmed in the book of Daniel, chapter 8, verse 14, the key prophecy we were on the right path directed by God and the kingdom of heaven to come. I do not follow any religion or belief systems anymore, but look from my own experience what is true and real. I do not need to find understanding through another, but can apply my own insights to such texts.

Dreams Come True 2022 – Counting down 3, 2, 1, the voice of my guide now distant, dropping me deep into the visualization journey to meet my Siddhi Self. There in the basement of my being, of my psyche, my enlightened self awaits, to show, to reveal what I need to see and learn. No words or instructions came, but immediate action. To my surprise he reached inside my chest and gathered up everything in his hand and pulled it all out, my insides, my heart, my need to feel and love, and threw it all away out into the universe.
