Fifteen years ago, after the devastating loss of a friend to suicide, I found myself engulfed in a storm of pain, anger, and confusion. The questions were relentless: Why must we suffer? Why does the human experience seem riddled with endless challenges, pain, and suffering? On Mother's Day 15 years ago, compelled by something I couldn't explain, I left the ranch and embarked on a six-hour drive to Yosemite Valley. The pull was intense, and I knew I needed to confront whatever was tearing me apart. The three-hour hike up to the top of Yosemite Falls was brutal. Every step was a battle, both physically and emotionally. Halfway up the trail, I broke down on a rock, overwhelmed by memories. Twenty years earlier on this exact same day, I had hiked this exact path with my first wife, who has since passed away. We carried a bottle of champagne to celebrate. She chose not to drink that day, which was unusual. That evening at the Ahwahnee Hotel, she handed me baby booties—a silent announcement that she was pregnant. Sitting there on that rock years later, the weight of those memories crashed over me like the very waterfall beside me. The joy of that past moment stood in stark contrast to the pain and rage I felt now. I was wrestling with God, challenging Him: Why are you constantly breaking our hearts? As I finally reached the summit and sat next to the falls looking out over the valley, I was absorbed in the dichotomy of my searing pain and the profound wonder at the beauty before me. The raw, unfiltered power of nature was both humbling and awe-inspiring. In that moment of utter vulnerability, I heard a small, steady voice within me say: "I've never broken your heart. I will, however, always shatter the walls you've built around it in a feeble attempt to hide from me." That soft but powerful message unlocked something inside me—a key to love, truth, and what I now call The Energy Code. As I gazed out, I saw the dance of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, all drawn together by the magic of God—the Void, the Source—depending on the language you prefer. This was the inception of my journey to cracking the Energy Code.
