First and foremost, I want to thank you so very much for choosing me to be a part of you organization

Hello Mark Hamilton

First and foremost, I want to thank you so very much for choosing me to be a part of your organization. I have no idea what process or criteria you used to select your apprentice; however, I do know that "you got the right one, baby." You have my undivided attention.

I began the year 2010 grief-stricken. My 28-year-old nephew mysteriously fell to his death at a hip-hop concert in Atlanta on February 28, 2010, and I was fighting a deep depression that had begun ten years earlier, in the year 2000, when I was forced to retire from my job as an electronics technician due to a chronic back condition. Death claimed my mother, brother, and two aunts in an 18-month period between January 2002 and November 2003. On Christmas Eve 2008, my girlfriend, the love of my life, died from breast cancer. Three of my best friends, who were original members of a five-piece band that got started when we met at Laney Community College in Oakland over 30 years ago, all died of cancer in 2009. My home went into foreclosure, credit cards maxed out, gigs became scarce to nonexistent. Everything seemed to go wrong at the same time, and there was no end in sight.

My economic situation, once very stable, was erratic and dissipating at an accelerated rate. My former employer and their doctors had determined that I was faking a back injury and immediately began a criminal investigation against me, although the MRI and other tests administered by my doctor and other neutral doctors determined that I have three degenerative discs, one in the neck area and two in my lower back, and a damaged sciatic nerve on my right side. In 2001, CalPERS determined that I was physically unable to continue at my current occupation and granted me a disability retirement retroactive to the original date in 2000. In other words, to make a long story short, my income was based on medical retirement, a 401k, and working 2-3 nights a week playing jazz at local restaurants, coffee shops, farmers markets, and so on.

Out of nowhere, I don't remember exactly when, where, or how it began, our world economy took a nosedive. At the beginning of 2010, my 401k, which I had invested in for more than 20 years, had practically evaporated. The more than 30 years of equity I had in my home had vanished, and I was facing foreclosure. My telephone was ringing off the hook, creditors were calling every 5 minutes. After 10 years, Bart, my former employer, informed me that I needed to prove I was still suffering from the same back injury or risk losing the little insurance that covered only my back. Instead of preparing to retire and reap the benefits of many years of hard work, I was a very frightened and confused 61-year-old man, more undecided at that age than I could recall being at any other time in my life, as a teenager or a young adult. I was seriously contemplating salvaging whatever I could and leaving the country in search of a new home, with an economy not quite as demanding as the one we live in here in the USA.

Around this time last year, October-November 2009, I was talking to a longtime friend about the economy and how I had made several unsuccessful attempts at a home business. She suggested I purchase a CD titled "The Secret Society." As soon as I heard the words Secret Society, I had a ten-second miracle, although I did not know anything about a ten-second miracle at the time.

I thought to myself, I have received several invitations to join a secret society; the next time I receive an invite, if another opportunity presents itself, I am going to jump on it, head first.

Just as I had hoped, in January 2010 I received another invitation. I joined the Neothink Society, received my orientation packet, and began reading the literature in February 2010. Soon after I began reading the material and digesting some of the Neothink terminology, words and phrases such as the essence, anticivilization, common denominator, and new integrated thinking business model versus the old bicameral, stagnated business approach, and the mini day, I was truly impressed. I kept thinking to myself, wow, this is off the hook.

The Miss Annabelle story totally mesmerized me from beginning to end. This work of art left no stone unturned when it comes to the game of life. Extremely well written, it is the most entertaining, action-packed, informative, and thought-provoking story about a teacher, Ms. Annabelle, her 12 students, their success individually as well as a group/family, and the price one has to pay in order to be successful in an anticivilization such as the one we live in. I was so completely captivated by the story from beginning to end, I could not stop reading. I kept saying to myself, I'm going to bed after the next chapter.

The story is so well written, it appears that each word was carefully chosen to convey a specific message or idea, and there is no other word or phrase that would fit the definition or convey that particular message. Although the story was action-packed and fast-moving, I found it necessary to stop, go back, and read a sentence, a paragraph, or a complete chapter in order to get a better understanding of what was being said at that time. The Neo-Tech literature is simply "off the hook." Bicameral versus integrated thinking: now I have a better understanding of them both, although I had no knowledge of either until I read your literature. Awesome.

The Neothink Society is definitely a life-changing, life-saving organization, and in a very surprisingly short period of time. When this year, 2010, began, I, for the first time in my life, was preparing to salvage as much as I could, "throw in the towel," and take my chances in Brazil. I decided to make one more move before I made my final decision. In February of this year, 2010, I joined the Society of Secrets, started reading the literature and listening to the audio. I did not realize how much the Society had meant to me, and the positive changes that had been made in my life, in just 5 months, until I sat down to write this email. It's nothing short of a miracle. Check this out.

1. My home is no longer in foreclosure; the first payment on my new modified home loan is November 1, 2010.

2. After more than 10 years in pro per, I found a lawyer to help me with my workers' comp case. We have a court date on December 20, 2010.

3. The telephone doesn't ring constantly anymore; no more mortgage companies, and most of the credit card companies have stopped calling.

4. I'm doing gigs, playing music again, although not as much as before.

5. I have made reservations for three days in the Bahamas later this month.

6. An old girlfriend said to me the other day, "you are almost Algie again."

7. I got my smile back.

The Twelve Visions Party, my new Friday night essence.

Thank you, Mark Hamilton, for giving my life back to me. I am very happy and extremely excited about my future with you and the Twelve Visions Party. I look forward to seeing you soon. Maybe in the Bahamas later this month. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Respectfully yours,

Algie Glasco
