Publisher's summary

Within Cole Matthews lies anger, rage, and hate. Cole has been stealing and fighting for years. This time he caught Peter Driscal in the parking lot and smashed his head against the sidewalk. Now, Peter may have permanent brain damage - and Cole is in the biggest trouble of his life.

Cole receives a one-year banishment to a remote Alaskan island. There, he is mauled by a mysterious white bear of Native American legend. Hideously injured, Cole waits for death. His thoughts shift from anger to humility. To survive, he must stop blaming others and take responsibility for his life. Rescuers arrive to save Cole's body, but it is the attack of the Spirit Bear that may save his soul.

Of this, I came upon singularity within duality.

I read this a few times as a child. It helped me to understand human emotion. To relent of self doubt and fealty to circumstance. To overcome adversity of the physical and the spiritual. In this awakening so to ended my confliction with the primitivism of the spiritual narrative perpetuated by the greedy and mal informed powers that breed fear for need of congregation in lieu of loyalty and honor. This toxic solution removed from my comprehension and retention of the education system, and the understanding of what little they bestowed upon me throughout their lacking process of curriculum and that, that system was not designed to be or would have ever been prepared for the consciously ascendant youth that was inevitably rising amongst them. That to survive in a world that is created to confuse and Hurd its own kind Is only a congested valve in the heart of social equality, education and progress, designed to accommodate pylons of suffering sweating imbalance into the fabric of reality. Like any unnatural occurrence of mind or body, so too causing a chaotic shift in the scales of entropy. That to Remove this toxin from the world in mind and soul, would have to dispel fear by showing the true potential of each and every human. that which is limited only by self doubt, ignorance and fear can those unprepared can be consciously awakened to power of self in your irremovable place in existence you are to be your own creator. To shape reality around you on a whim And through the great barrier: can those be found along side their progeneration ascending. Of race, of religion and of politics. make those three men who refuse to look upon each other and resign of conflict. Can we the whole, begin our journey to the universe afar. Those primitive notions of status, desire for control and power left to past primitivity. Balance, peace and humanity, will be restored to all those who's mind of their own control, decide their own fate.
I relent of fear, ignorance and blind fealty to systems that break themselves apart to maintain their whole. Found balance bereft of their insanity, their singularity of duality, became the Indigo. Benjamin Greene
