"Your heart and soul are never more apparent until you are alone in the wilderness."
- Patrick Malyszek
As a young boy I always had a notion there was another side to life, a parallel life that was available to all but only a few that were graced with the ability to acknowledge and experience it. I wanted to find this parallel life and experience what it had to offer as compared to our regular everyday life...but I did not have a clue as to how to find and experience it. I would go into the forest every day regardless of the weather and spend hours and hours just thinking and exploring, trying to determine what the trigger was in order to experience this different side of life. What I learned is that you cannot use your regular life's experiences as the trigger. In order to really reach and experience the other side of life you must have not the ability, but rather the passion and desire to be a person that is willing to break their own social norms and challenge themselves with out of control experiences. These experiences create what I call a "bridge" from our common life to the life of an adventurer, which leads into what I have termed The Realm. A place of true love, support, and confidence.
The transition from my common life, which is great by the way, to The Realm, which is mystic, is not an easy task and for most will never be achieved or experienced. But I made it, I found my "bridges" into The Realm. Yes! Bridges. There is not just one way to get into The Realm, there are actually hundreds of ways to get to that special place.
My "bridges" into The Realm were found not by pressuring myself, which I had done for years, but through having an open mind to all things. I recall trying so hard but always finding myself a little lost and confused. It existed-I knew that, but I could not grasp it. At times I would look to the world for the answer but knew deep inside that was wrong. Other times I would look to others for the "bridge" but every time I did that the path I was seeking was obstructed by confusion and could not be seen or felt at all. To look to others was wrong. Self-reliance is 100% critical. What was also very important was having the courage to move away from common life and try to become an adventurer that was willing to take on acts of spontaneity. To take on the unknown without fear of the outcome.
Within this book there are several true-life stories, all of which have taken me to places beyond this world, beyond myself, and to a place where I come closest to finding true love, support, spirts of the loved ones that have gone to heaven, God, and a few near death experiences in Alaska. Some of the stories that you will read include: The Escape, which is about finding The Realm and becoming a true adventurer. Crashed and Broken is when I fell off a glacier in Alaska and had to be rescued. The Charge is the time that I was charged by a bear. All amazing stuff for sure. All of this was done while in The Realm.
I truly hope this book and my stories give you the courage to find The Realm, and become an Adventurer in order to live a great life filled with love that is pure and of absolute truth. GOOD LUCK and CALL ME IF YOU NEED HELP!!
