Roland S TakaokaRoland wore many hats. However, the ones that fit best and allowed him to feel the most useful as a person, were the ones related to learning, teaching, sharing, and giving, and not necessarily in that order. He considered it to be his responsibilityto learn more, and acquire an ever-expanding awareness of truth. From there, it was his desire to teach others who would also like to know what he learned, and share that which I consider available to all of us: truth. Artistic expression, music, creative and descriptive writing were all parts of what Roland learned. They are the essence of God-given abilities that we all have, and which Roland chose to explore in himself. Roland was a devoted Law of Attraction Practitioner, and an eternal student of truth. Various parts of this book describe his philosophies regarding faith and Universal Law. His wife Barbara and Roland were both ordained in the Universal Life Church, and conduct wedding ceremony officiant services. Most descriptions of historical time elements in the book are true, with his search for truth beginning at an early age. Roland was also an avid racquetball player, a fairly accomplished guitarist and vocalist, and had been designing websites since about 1995. Personally, Roland held a deep love for his wife and their five kids. He appreciated his amazing friends. He felt that his home in Orange County, California -- where it's not too hot and not too cold -- was just about as perfect as it gets. Reaching the end of his sixth decade here on earth, Roland sensed as though more of the Universe was awaiting discovery, and he planned to be the explorer for decades to come. Part of that exploration would include his further recovery and return to full health, reading and writing many more books, and once again playing guitar, swinging the racquetball racquet, and spending as much time as possible with his wife, their kids and friends. While Roland passed away suddenly from a fourth stroke on August 23rd, 2018, his legacy lives on. Read More Read Less
