One-paragraph outline of my religious autobiography
Act 1: The story of my life as a JW
Disaster 1: Depression (natural)
Act 2: The story of my attempts to keep everything (mostly my beliefs) in tact after the depression
Disaster 2: Leaving the JWs (result of trying to fix things)
Act 3: My first attempts to search for a new philosophy of living in atheism, humanism, and socialism
Disaster 3: The philosophies and way of life I chose to try out neglects the “inner life” that I have cultivated during my years as a JW and which was calling me during my depression
Act 4: My exposure to Eastern philosophy, “spirituality”
Disaster 4: My awakening to the irrationality of the beliefs I am soaking myself into
Ending: I decide to create a philosophy of my own grounded on logic and reason but expanded through experiential knowledge inherent in Eastern philosophy and indigenous Filipino knowledge of Ginhawa
