ONCE AND FOR ALL MANKIND-VOLUME 1: MY ROCK & ROLL DREAM is the detailed account of my tumultuous childhood and raucous coming of age, spiritual awakening, and the events leading up to my attempted suicide at age nineteen, untold in its entirety, even to my closest loved ones, until now.

The reader journeys with me and the music, which was guiding me, to previously uncharted reaches of the psyche, collective consciousness, inter-dimensional exploration, transcendental love, and finally to the limits of one man's mortality.

The very nature of reality and free will, life and death, our existence in astral and timeless dimensions, the integration of the masculine and feminine within each of us, and the choices we have in what we believe (and collectively over the future of our species) are explored in vivid detail.

I challenge readers to go beyond societal programming, reclaim free will, and use their imagination to foster a more compassionate, sustainable, and peaceful existence, both within each of our individual worlds and collectively.

This book is an homage to those who create the music and tell the real story in the name of Love. Enjoy the ride!
