And so at the age of 25, I decided to commit suicide. I was so depressed and frustrated. I just, I decided to take my own life. Now, at the very last moment, my life was spared, but I didn't know why. And so I said, I've gotta find what am I doing on this planet? What is my purpose here on the earth? I didn't know how to answer the question. So I went back to the library and I read every book in the spiritual section and, you know, to try to find what is my purpose? How do I find my purpose? And questions like that, you know, questions that humans have been asking for centuries. So then fast forward 5 years later, 1997, I had these epiphanies and I realized precisely and exactly what was missing in those hundreds and hundreds of books that I'd spent years and years and years reading that no one was talking about. And I realized, oh my gosh, this is the missing piece. This is the missing link. And what's so funny is so many people, thousands of people have told me since that time, That, yes, I, I found the missing piece for them.
