Finally Free!


Finally

Free!
(60 years of Hell)
ALFRED P. LICATA SR.

It is amazing don’t you think, that I did not even know that I was in hell until I was set free? What do I mean by that? Four months shy of my 60th birthday a realization came upon me, inner peace was mine, traveling through this life, searching for this secret for close to 60 years. Never having the elusive peace that had been promised over 30 years ago, when becoming a committed Christian.

Oh yes, there have been many great moments with feelings of highs but with every height reached there seemed to be a new and lower low. As far back as the mind can go: there always was something to worry and be stressed over, whether in school as a young boy or as a grown man failing in business, even when reaching financial success.

As a man in American society, (women to) it is never cool to admit that you are fearful of anything; especially if you have learned the secrets to success; having a positive attitude! But I have found behind many men and woman there is a great sadness and loneliness, not being able to admit or show that you are in fear of anything. How can I prove it?

In America alone there are over 40, 000,000 people diagnosed with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome); that is 40 + million! What is the root cause? FEAR! We don’t call it fear; we call it stress, worry, anxiousness, concern, etc. but fear is the root cause. I never knew IBS existed until developing it and running to doctor after doctor to find out what was wrong. 4 years of suffering and not being able to work a full work week, having my income affected and using most of our assets to simply survive brought greater fear and worse symptoms. What a mess! But outwardly, like most people, I tried to show that everything was ok even with this handicap, feeling incapable to compete in life on any level; especially at work where most men are getting their sense of self worth as providers for their families or at least being able to compete in the sport of life by having a meaningful job, position or business.

Never hearing of IBS before receiving symptoms was a wake up call that there was an even bigger picture to sicknesses, all hidden behind fear, the root of many other diseases such as Heart Failures, body immune system breakdowns, nervous breakdowns; to mention only a few! I mean just a few! The list goes into the hundreds of Physical and Mental illnesses that plague our World. What is going on? How is this happening? When we are supposed to be a superior generation with all this high tech knowledge?

I am glad you asked because this is what this book is all about! Sharing of myself my journey, and what I have learned, and now discovered. A peace that is beyond human understanding, Is that possible? Yes, you to can learn to understand how and why you have been ripped off from experiencing a true and real peace that you can take everywhere with you; at home, at church, on weekends with friends and even some family members who have been robbing you of peace for years and oh yes even in the high stress work you are involved in or should I say locked in to, because of the need to fill the wonderfully stressed life we have developed in order to have all the stuff we were told was supposed to make us happy! But doesn’t.

I don’t mean to be so sarcastic but as the saying goes; “I have been there and done that.” Some even say, “I even bought the t-shirt.” I bought the factory!!! I want to share with you what I didn’t know, that truth is, not knowing fear (or we’ll call it stressed) bound me, until peace, joy, and love found me. No It did not take having to run away to an unmanned island, to get away from family or even work… It did however take a choice, that I wanted to “not be blind but see” with making this choice a real peace and joy that I did not know, really truly can exist. Others may tell you, If you would only read this book, go to this new doctor, take this pill, join a new church, new this and new that. This book will not teach you anything new at all! I am going to share some basics that are very old, follow me until the end of this book, read all that is in between, and then apply it. I can promise that you will find the peace and fulfillment that you have been seeking an maybe you will even shed some of the sicknesses you have been carrying (mentally and physically) too! So please don’t give up until you have read this whole story. Why? It is important to me that you will attain peace, healing, and joy. Well you don’t know me why do you care? I love people, and if my journey can prevent others from waiting nearly 60 years to receive what I now have, then by GRACE this journey will have touched someone’s life, and they in turn bless another the line is infinite, it’s a “pay it forward” reason. These promises are granted by someone far greater than me. The very creator of this universe, the being that has been trying to communicate with you since the day you were born. Is this a religious book? Read it all and then decide for yourself. I don’t think so. This is a book about healing. Getting physically, mentally, financially, socially and with your self healing. The worst thing that could happen is you spend the cost of this book and get a little rest while reading it but the best thing that could happen is that you will find a peace and joy for life that you and most of the billions of people living today are trying to find but only very few have. I dare you to read this entire book to its end. I know that what worked of me will work for you too! Good Reading! Enjoy!
