Shadows of America: Road to Authenticity

By Rae Donn Fionntan

My Fate. Not Yours. Once upon a time I was your enemy, and as you read these pages you may not like me very much; and that is perfectly understandable, such is the price for full transparency-villains aren't meant to be liked, they are lessons of what not to do so others do not repeat the same patterns of self destruction and harm. I may no longer walk the path of the villain, of blame and victimization; however, I am its storyteller. I have not just stared into the abyss of madness but leaped head first over the edge, into the pit, and somehow (with utmost gratitude) I am here to tell the tale of what happens when you go all the way through and out. In the Spring of 2020, after losing my youngest son, due to a ketamine-laced cocaine, whiskey, and rage fueled moment of vengeance driven violence against my second wife; I put down all substances that very day, and a few months later, in the Autumn of 2020-after discovering the spiritual community held the same pitfalls, betrayals, and manipulations as the anti-spiritual-I relinquished all of my material possessions, transformed my 2020 Kia Soul into a live-in-camper and traveled the road across the southern United States from San Antonio, Texas to the East Coast of Florida until the late Summer of 2021. I traversed some of the most haunted, sacred, revered, and hidden sites in America's Southland while navigating the most frightening place of all-my inner self-where I took complete responsibility and accountability of my entire self, in order to discover the true meaning of Complete Authenticity and realize Complete Reality.
