Book Cover & Preview Text
Comfort One that does not know the truth will never be comfortable. It feels comfortable getting what one needs and wants. But nothing can be claimed until one has protection. One without protection does not feel safe. Needs and wants that diminish safetyness defeat there own purpose. Needs and wants must coincide with the truth. The roots of truth can be found in the innocent. When the innocent can not be protected, the world will become hell. Hell is a state of uncomfortableness due to guilt. It’s only cure is confession. It is also good to pray. The secret to protection lies in giving. It’s hard to kill a man that continuously gives. Giving is the seed to comfort. Confession To confess is to admit guilt. The confessor can be forced to admit guilt or can admit guilt freely. When one is forced to admit guilt, one is lacking power. When one admits guilt continuously, one has too much power. One is responsible with power. But what power is this? Control over guilt. When one controls guilt, one confesses. When one is not in control of guilt, one has to be forced to admit guilt. To be forced to admit guilt requires showing evidence. To be forced to stop admitting guilt requires hiding evidence. To show evidence reminds one of past actions. To hide evidence reminds one of future actions. To confess too little gathers pain. To confess too much nullifies feelings. The middle gathers pain but retains feeling, then confesses guilt to remove pain. One asks, "If confessing always relieves pain, isn’t it wise to confess always?" One answers, "Who is greater, the one confessing or the one that is confessed to?"

About the Book
Enigmajik
During meditation, emotions become much more stable. Due to this stability, my emotions became easier to express. Therefore, I started writing during meditation. I began writing about the enigmas that plagued my life. Some enigmas were minor, but others caused me mental distress. Yet, due to writing, I was able to work out answers for some of these enigmas. Some of the answers I received are now stored in Enigmajik.
I define enigmajik as an answer for riddles. Life is full of riddles. These riddles can cause many problems in a person’s life. For instance, the feeling of guilt may be perceived as enigmatic. The feeling of guilt seems to come at some of the strangest moments. I was forced to ask why. After meditating on this riddle, I was reminded of old selfish deeds I had committed. The consequence of these deeds probably caused the guilty feeling. After realizing this fact, the guilty feeling began depleting. Many of my emotional problems, I solve in this manner.
Enigmajik is meant to be a source of inspiration and motivation. Without inspiration and motivation, how can any work get done? This book will motivate and inspire at the same time it illuminates. Gender terms are not used in these poems, therefore, even though it was written by a man, the thoughts stored in the poems can be applied to both genders. I believe in the mental equality of each sex type. I tried my best to express this fact in my writing.
The best time to read Enigmajik is in a calm, meditative state. If the poems are read swiftly, the meaning of each poem might escape the reader. Please take the time to think about each selection. I hope this book helps each reader as much as it continues to help me.
About the Author
I was born in Macon, Georgia, on November 17, 1974. I graduated from Southwest High School in Macon, and went on to study computer science at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Georgia. While studying at GSU, I also did individual research on various topics, including history and philosophy. African culture was especially concentrated upon, due to my African American racial status. I graduated from there in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science degree. Shortly after beginning work in the computer programming field, personal problems began to plague my life. Though financially stable, feelings of depression and anxiety began to find their way inside of me. After a traumatic car accident, I began to re-evaluate the path upon which my feet were treading. I decided that practicing meditation might be a good way to examine myself. After a while, I began to write down thoughts that would bother me, searching for an answer to my problems. Needless to say, I began to formulate my thoughts into poetry, hoping that whoever heard them would be able to see how I handle my problems, and maybe find a clue to solving theirs. I now practice meditation on a routine basis, working out my emotional difficulties as I go along. I am an avid reader of history, religion, and philosophy. I love to write and recite poetry. I also love listening to R&B, jazz, and hip-hop. I currently reside in Lizella, Georgia.
