I dream of mystical things happening to me. Before I became incarcerated, I was an active member in the Freemasons. I was a member of a lodge called Gate City 694 in Greensboro, North Carolina in the United States. Since I’ve been incarcerated, magical things have started happening to me. Things have come into my life that I never knew existed before. And the crazy thing is, it has to do with the Freemasons. I’m talking about the Rosicrucians and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. I had a book come to me that had 3 chapters in it about the Rosicrucians. I had never heard of them before I go t that book. Something about it just grabbed at me. I prayed to God and asked to be enlightened. After that moment, more knowledge started to come to me. Books would find their way to em about the Rosicrucians, I would be moved to cells next to people who had books on the subject and studied it. Then, one day, knowledge of the Golden Dawn tradition of magic came into my life. I would meet people on pen-pal sites that would offer to buy me books if I wanted them to, so I started asking for books on the Golden Dawn and the Rosicrucians. I began seriously studying the subjects and became fascinated with it.
The reason I titled this article “The Dream”, is because I dream, and I wish that I could get out of prison and pursue these magical currents out there. I’ve always felt that there is something special that is hidden from every day society. I’ve felt it my whole life. I hope and pray that a real member of the Golden dawn of a real brother of the fraternity of the rose cross would somehow come across this article and contact me. I dream of someone like that who has power in this world, power to help me get out of prison, the power to help me get out there and serve a real positive purpose in this world instead of just sitting here day after day in this prison cell. I know they’re out there, I know they have the power to help me. I dream of that…. I dream of being released from prison, getting a job, re-unite with my daughter, speaking to young people and telling them my story to help them from making the mistakes I did. So, if there are any Freemasons, Rosicrucians, members of the Golden Dawn, or anyone who reads this can help me, please contact me. I would like you to contact me anyway because I need instruction and guidance in my studies of Rosicrucianism and magic. I will continue to write articles on different subjects, but this is my dream. So mote it be.
