Lord Orford’s Reminiscences (1818)

Robert Adams was born in Eugene, Oregon, the first born child of a military and active Mormon family. He spent his life pursuing the imagery of all things he was taught as a youth and deemed to be the ultimate essence of existence, only to learn at 50 years of age that his beliefs were actually lies that offered imagined answers to a make-believe world. His path of discovery took him through the stages of life holding tightly to cultural myths of religion and ego-based fears that created constant feelings of unworthiness and self-doubt. It eventually led to a breaking moment when he realized what he was holding to be the absolute truths in his life were the very sources of his personalized hell. The events that unfolded just days before his 50th birthday came in answer to his vigilant pursuit to have freedom in his life.
