It is the reflection of the author who created the story. \"DARK SOUL\" is an exploration into my soul. \"DARK SOUL\" is written in the form of a personal journey into the darkness of my soul in quest of finding my way through the wilderness of my life for the last forty-three in search of finding redemption, forgiveness, peace and, hopefully, making amends for my actions as an undercover police detective in the underworld of drug groups and organized crime associations. Throughout those forty-three years, I have lived with and been confronted by, many times, the dark shadowy images of the people I either killed or helped to kill in my past. Now, you will be with me as I prepare to enter the \"cave\" of my mind and psyche in an attempt to heal my soul. However, do not judge this book by its cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike the shadows of the dark figures in Plato's \"Allegory of the Cave\" in \"THE REPUBLIC\", our thoughts, emotions, actions, and behaviors working within our conscious and sub-conscious minds provide us with a form of indirect lighting presenting a superficial, and often inaccurate, distorted image and understanding of our true \"SELF\". We justify our actions and behaviors, we create situations that violate our personal belief systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten as a sequel to \"LIFE AFTER RUSSIAN ROULETTE: REDEMPTION\", the goal at the end of our journey together will, hopefully, be an experience that will shed a powerful light on the psychological, mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical inner battles that have affected my soul in the past, changed my personality and perception of my \"SELF\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonally, I believe that everyone has a hidden dark side because of their past, whether or not they want to acknowledge or admit it. I think we all have made choices and decisions that we regret when we reflect o our past life. In the end, hopeful, my story will inspire you to take a personal journey into the \"cave\" of your mind and psyche to better understand the life of your soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 386\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 11, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42123390812295,"sku":"9781088074008","price":35.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/99d8cd0dfc85610b784d782a5d66c74c.webp?v=1732566278","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/dark-soul-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
