As a spiritual Christian, I consecrated regularly to get closer to GOD. Somehow, I took a wrong turn and drew closer to CREATOR and the Spiritual Realm instead.One day, I felt a slight presence engaging me, and so I turned aside from my religious beliefs to investigate this presence. As I drew closer, I recognized that it was that spiritual entity that was guiding me as a teen into Spirituality. I was distressed, and wondered: hey, why are we all present here together? I said to GOD, "We have a serious problem." I had to return to the church world, but I could not dismiss what I had encountered.Because of my inquisitiveness, I had destroyed the very fabric of my spiritual religious faith. I had committed religious suicide! I drew closer to God because I sensed there was more to God. As a result, religion was eradicated and my religious family became distant as though they knew my secret. The Spirit of Africa was present within me, and I was becoming what I was sent here to be. My identity had been sealed, I was fading into the other side of God, and there was nothing I could do about it.
