About GenesisMen.Net

GenesisMen.Net is a project of the RiverOfLIfe Foundation which is a private, commercial, non-registered, non-governmental, not-for-profit, non-denominational, Bible-based, humanitarian organisation which relies on universal truth and spiritual principles that are grounded in observable facts, strict logic, mathematical probablity, the uncorrupted scientific record and factual history - concerning which, those who act as the foundation's principal participants have concluded, points to a greater spiritual reality that is described in the Bibical narrative and which calls all men and women to care for each other and the natural environment, to renounce all forms of evil including that which is in ourselves, and to banish it from the planet we live on.

 

RiverOfLIfe Foundation's first priority at this time, is to provide educational resources, direction, and where possible, practical asisstance for helping people transform out of helplessness, anxiety, oppression and poverty, to wellbeing and fulfillment in all areas of life that matter.

 

RiverOfLIfeFoundation has no resources of its own other that which exists in the lives of those who support it.

 

Nevertheless, RiverOfLIfeFoundation is resourceful and currently has humanitarian projects off the ground in Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu, while at the same time is developing and marketing products and services which align with the foundation's mission and support its work.

About Me (Richard)

My story in a nutshell...

 

These days, I work as a published author, educator, and professional trainer for good quality, generally capable single men who love women but struggle in the relationship space - not only because of the craziness out there in the dating and relationships arena - but also because of debilitating personal issues such as shyness, awkwardness and social anxiety around attractive females, underdeveloped interpersonal skills, low self-esteem in terms of masculine worth, and "Nice Guy Syndrome."

 

 

In the beginning...

 

I do not start out well in life.

 

Due to a pattern of trauma in childhood, I suffer a catastrophic mental and emotional breakdown as a 5 year old.

 

I become so ashamed of who I believe I am that I adopt a false persona to hide behind and which I cannot let go of. For decades, I live a lie as false person who is cut off from the possibility of having authentic relationships of any kind - and certainly not any kind of meaningful, opposite-sex, romantic relationships.

 

I spend all my growing up and early adulthood trapped in chronic depression, loneliness and isolation from the human race, bondage to destructive addictions, and gross failure at everything in life that matters.

 

 

But I make it and recover...

 

I try some quite dangerous, "outside the box" strategies on my way to getting my right mind back that prove nearly fatal at one point. Nevertheless, I never give up. Eventually my demons leave me and I find out what it is like to be "normal."

 

The experience of walking the walk of recovery and healing from a devastated life, to one of peace, confidence, and fulfillment, gives me a very fine-grained and powerful appreciation of what it takes to change on the inside, so as to become confident, grounded and successful on the outside, and for me most especially, in the realm of intimate, opposite-sex relationships wherein I was most disabled, most dysfunctional and most beset with emotional pain and feelings of worthlessness. 

 

 

Now I give back...

 

I am alive and well today, because in spite of everything, there is still goodness in the world. If not for that, I would have been in the ground for a long time now.

 

Therefore, I regard it as my responsibility to honour such goodness by doing what I can to help others who have been similarly assaulted and damaged by the madness out there that wants control over your heart, your mind, your soul, and your money, far over and above your well being.
