Exploring the Essential Philosophical Psychology for Authoring Spiritual Empathy
– Everett R. Mane
King David wrote, "For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations" (Psalm 100:5).
Writing 'Raising Mother Nature' has really broadened my understanding and connected me more with my readers. Through plenty of practice, I’ve found my own distinctive voice. My life experiences have naturally led me to explore myself more deeply. My protagonist openly expresses genuine emotions, especially in intense relationships, making the story more relatable. The narrative encourages readers to thoughtfully consider the decisions and outcomes within the story.
Storytelling, rooted in research on human nature, is the gift God gave me. I compare family influence with Jesus' virtuous life. Intellectual and spiritual growth enabled me to create a meaningful context.
I created Calhoun Mane as an alter ego who embodies the person I plan to become. He is a confident writer who lives in the now. Some say his life was tough, even tragic. His adolescent behavior marked him as immature well into his young adult years. My protagonist lives as a sinner, accommodating his influencers and the misleading qualities he adopted. He failed to advance his consciousness beyond childhood abuse. I write sincerely, using satirical themes to offer wisdom in scenarios where Calhoun spirals into disruptive patterns. Indulgence and self-destructiveness reach extremes through emotional prompts intended to elicit readers' responses.
Calhoun or I prematurely embarked on a faithless journey, only to experience rare spiritual encounters. He is my conscience, that voice in my head. I learned early in life that God loved me, but without faith, my sins were difficult to overcome. My family's frequent absence left me feeling abandoned. As a teenager, Calhoun set out on the open road, believing a better life awaited him. He tended to see America through rose-colored glasses, but homelessness, sleeping in the streets, and hunger for a normal life caused him to lose sight of himself.
Read how Calhoun transforms a life of mental and emotional health struggles into a conscious journey. In discussing forgiveness, trust, and life's natural cycle, I believe fate is inevitable, but destiny involves our instinctive efforts.
Scenes from Raising Mother Nature and Calhoun's experiences the first week in Los Angeles.
Calhoun's story compares his birthmother Chloe's innate traits, showing how they outgrew naivety. A confession explains why she became a carny at fourteen, exploring a world without maturity. She had reason to escape her childhood home. Later, having four children led to economic hardship, and her secret affected future generations. Calhoun shows the healing power of psychology through Spirituality to convey his philosophical perspective on living as a sinner. His confusion about God brings lessons in humility and a humble nature to follow.
An excerpt from Raising Mother Nature reads:
"Chloe initially traveled in a small trailer with Clotilde Minas, her dearest childhood friend. She charmed carnival families, allowing her to wander undetected through the Midwest and the South as a minor, a runaway. They treated her like kin. Working in a booth where patrons tossed plastic rings over glass pop bottles for trinkets and stuffed animals, Chloe used cooking lubricants to create slippery surfaces. She hated giving away prizes."
My foster mother, Marjorie Wise Sedlacek, brought femininity to the story, shaping my understanding of Chloe. As a co-author, her brilliance influenced every sentence.
Uncover the secret, but first you'll have to live out Calhoun's adolescence.
Experience your transformation as God dwells within all our understanding of life as consciousness.
Recognize the signs and wonders He provides for us. Learn to see and hear with conviction on your own faith journey.
Love is the antidote to what remains broken in us, so I hope you begin to love without fear, without questioning your worthiness.
REVIEWS
Awesome book! Very hard to put down! Definitely a good read. Very personal. Through the good, the bad, and the ugly, I found this book to be one of the most in-touch and sometimes heartbreaking stories I've read in a long time. A must-read! ~ Beth
Great read! Couldn’t put the book down. As a former caseworker, it was nice to see a good ending. I often wonder what happened to the kids now adults on my caseload. Hoping that the kids that I once cared for have a similar ending. This book isn’t for the faint of heart its dives into a world that many of us aren’t familiar with. It brings an understanding and a desire to serve with kids who are defenseless and just want to survive. Thanks for sharing such an amazing story.
