Breaking Away Was Never Just An Idea — It Was My Only Way Out

I was born on the island of Curaçao, August 17, 1955.
A father from Sint Maarten. A mother from Montserrat.


A quiet house, at least on the outside.

But inside? My mind never stopped.
From the start, I questioned everything.
Nothing seemed quite right.
Nothing added up.


This is where I grew up, in the one to the left

The Rigged System

School tried to shape me into something I could never be.
I finished secondary school, did some college Stuyvesant, Maria Immaculate, but most of my academic knowledge comes from self study, I have amassed over 30 certificates and diplomas and still open to learning new things, but the classrooms felt like cages.
I watched how the system funneled people into tiny boxes.
How it trained them to chase hollow prizes and call it “life.”

I graduated top of my class from the Police Academy in 1975, and was able to look at life through the lens of the law and the judicial system. 

For 30 year I have been a business consultant with a diploma in Fiscal Laws and saw how the system handled businesses and ordinary people taxing them while not really investing in them but in themselves.

All around me, people played their parts.
Smiled their practiced smiles.
Pretended they weren’t miserable, while carrying around the chains of a rigged system

I wasn’t buying it.

The Search That Wouldn’t Stop

So I turned to books, seminars, self-help, gurus — desperate to break free of what I couldn’t quite name.

I traveled the world, hoping to find something different.
But everywhere I went, I discovered the same truth:

People laugh the same.
People cry the same.
Pain has the same taste, no matter the passport.

Hitting Bottom & Seeing the Universe for What It Is

I built a life as an accountant. Ran my own company for over 30 years.
Always tried to help people along the way — only to be ripped off more times than I care to count.

I’ve hit rock bottom more than once.
Financially. Emotionally.
I’ve lived with a narcissist for 14 long years — a slow corrosion of my soul that nearly finished me off.

But rock bottom did something important:
It cracked me open.

I began to see the vastness of the universe.
The impossible math of life itself.
The undeniable sense that there’s more here than what we’re told.
That we’re not alone. That our tiny human systems are the real illusions.

Why I Write

This blog exists because I finally stopped running from my own questions.
Because after everything — the betrayals, the travels, the losses — I understood that the only thing worth chasing is your true self.
Not the self polished for approval. Not the self trained to please a rigged system.
The self that stands naked before the cosmos and says:

“I am here. I will not waste this.”

So I write to help you see past the illusions.
To slap awake that part of you that already knows the truth.
To remind you that breaking away from the pack isn’t just an idea — it’s survival.
And maybe, just maybe, it’s salvation too.

Why Caribbean Unity Is Our Most Urgent Resource

The Screen Age Abyss: Our Unnerving New Era

Image
Imagine us waking up one morning to realize humanity has fully transformed—not into cyborgs, but into hypnotized zombies , eternally glued to screens. This isn’t sci-fi. We’re already living the dawn of a dangerous new era: The Screen Age . 🧭 Introduction I sat in meditation yesterday when the truth struck me like a thunderbolt. We’ve entered a horrifying new era—one defined not by industrial might or global conflict, but by collective screen addiction . Everywhere I look, people are trapped: scrolling at dinner, walking down the street, even parenting through devices. No warnings, no logic, no intervention seems to work. This is more than behavior—it’s a societal metamorphosis—and it’s wreaking havoc on our brains, relationships, and cultures. In this blog and my next book, I will lay bare what the Screen Age is doing to us. First, we define the era—and then we confront the chilling scientific, social, and psychological fallout. There is nothing cute about this image 1. “What Is the...
