Christopher (last name concealed for his personal protection)
was born on December 2, 1961. Though raised in a very large religious family, his pursuit of truth led him to question the validity of organized religion and the effect it has on the world. Unlike those who set themselves up as leaders and spiritual
guides to others, Christopher believes in only one universal
mandate: Do unto others what you would have them do unto you—nothing
more, nothing less. His life experience is vast, but his gentle love for humankind
remains unaffected by his many personal tragedies. He is unlike
those of similar goals who seek to profit monetarily or in
popularity from their works. He has contracted all profits,
royalties, and earnings from his writings to the establishment of
the Worldwide United Foundation (wwunited.org),
an organization dedicated to the elimination of poverty and
inequality throughout the world. Though very personable, approachable, and amiable to all,
Christopher chooses to live as the “least among us,” having few
possessions and no worldly aspirations. He is best described as the
one inferred by the popular song, The Impossible Dream:
"To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for
this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star"
