Strange Lives of Black Folks Page 2

Introduction

  Strange spirits share their stories of regret with a new soul ready to enter or reenter the world. What they share reflect defining moments in each of their lives that prevented them from carrying out their purpose. In order to find peace they must properly prepare this soul to complete their unfinished work on earth. This mission must be completed so that the elevation of man can begin. But their conflicting philosophies on the world and human existence confuse the young spirit. Since they all make such convincing arguments she is left with the world altering decision of which one to follow.

  “We all have a story to tell. Personal experience is all that one truly knows. It is with that knowledge that we form our beliefs and values which guides us throughout our lives. Life is a preparation for that one defining moment called death. It is at this moment that we will be confronted with all that we were meant to do. Our life will testify for or against us. Then we will know whether we succeeded in our journey.”
