I'm telling you, this program saved my life in more than 100 ways. Well, it took me 30 years because I've been in this program since 1987 in and out, you know why? Because I didn't believe in the program before why? Because I didn't have this spiritual awakening why? Because I didn't believe that this program was all spiritual, you know and believe me if you don't watch yourself, if you don't practice this program, you better watch out, you know, because your ego is there, the devil is there, just ready to grab you, you know.
