A New Life

Stepping into the dark room, I was handed a candle. The person in front of me lit my candle with his own, and I in turn lit a candle. We were instructed to kneel in front of the King James Bible. The setup seemed borderline cultish. The room was in complete silence. You could hear yourself breathe. What have I gotten myself into?

“You are here because you are smarter than everyone else,” his voice filled the room, ominously.

I’m here because of my brother, I thought to myself.

“You are here because you are better than everyone else. You are here because you want to be a part of something greater than yourself. You want to feel connected. You need adventure. I can offer you all these things and so much more. Raise your right hand in the air and repeat after me…”

I raised my hand and was initiated into a new life.

    Be very careful of what you let into your mind and spirit. It is dangerous to allow your self to go here.

    So we are dealing with some sort of supremacist cult – very interesting. I am definitely enjoying this series so far.
