One of Charles's favorite quotes is:""It is my desire to share strengthening; positive things to help those who
have had a hard time with life, which is not everyone, of course, but perhaps
many." (Charles Edward Borjas)
"You may have sometimes pondered many "what ifs". You know what I
mean? What if I was born different, what if I was born a boy instead of a girl,
what if I was born in California instead of Arkansas, what if my parents had
been rich, not poor, what if I had married that pretty gal I sat next to in high
school etc. What if I never joined that church or group?" (Charles Edward Borjas)
"We wonder why we are here, why we are who we are, and who are we?
Who am I and who are you? Did you ever wonder that? Later on in life, we
can think back and say with confidence, "I spent the first twenty years of my
life learning most of what I know, the next forty years putting it into practice
and the last twenty trying to figure out what happened".(Charles Edward Borjas)
"I don't claim to have all the answers to life's endless problems. Who does?
Only God knows everything.
But then if you donât believe in God, you will have to look elsewhere to
solve your problems, no sweat eh?" (Charles Edward Borjas)
No matter what your religion or belief, age or philosophy, occupation or
vocation, we have something in common.
We all breathe the same air, eat the same way, communicate in human
language, share the same emotions and feelings, have the same thinking
process, and the same physical bodily functions. As Paul the Apostle put it,â
We are all men (or women) of like passions." (Charles Edward Borjas)
"We all have dreams of some sort. I donât regret anything at all, and I
believe that no matter how bad things get that everything will work out for
the good.
I also believe that som...Expand for more
etimes some things could have worked out a little
better; at least a little better." (charles Edward Borjas)
"Most people in society do not know what itâs like to be on the inside of a
cult. They judge those who have left religious groups and cults as inferior
beings without knowing anything about them." Charles Edward Borjas)
"Across the arena-sized room were more stairs that led up to what looked
like a throne surrounded by colorful bursts of rainbow colored fire and
lighting, candles, lamps, lights, circles. The only distinguishable and familiar
shape I could recognize was the shape that the moving circles made as they
circled the throne and that was similar to the atomic sign of the atom. That
was the only earthly thing I could relate it to." (Charles Edward Borjas) From Mick Mancini FBI, Constant as the Northern Star
"Then the figure began to speak. His mouth did not move but I heard the
voice in my mind saying, âAre you ready to die now? Are you ready to leave
your life and move on to the next?â
I answered in my heart, âIâm not sure.â
"How could I make my mark on the world? How could I go out and help
others and try to make the wrong things right?
There is only one way. To take that high dive, not knowing how you will hit
the water. So you need to push along, prodding yourself to take that death
defying leap, that high diveâ¦that will send you either flailing helplessly through the air towards the water, or skillfully racing, as if you were shot
from a spear-gun, towards the water.
You are faced with the fear âWhat if I donât hit the water just right? What
if I get off balance and hit the water breaking by back or neck?â But itâs too
late now, you are speedily heading straight for the water, head first, and then
you hit it⦠diving straight into it, down...down... down, and curving back up
again, breaking out on top of the surface of the water for that life saving
breath of fresh air that tells you, "You succeeded". From Chapter One of Mick Mancini FBI Agent: Constand As The Northern Star by Charles Edward Borjas".
