The oldest of two siblings Ano El a now 32 Year Old Army Veteran from Oakland, California has undergone a life shattering spiritual awakening after spending from 2000-2004 on active duty returning in 2007 to carry out another 3 year contract.
In 2008, a friend showed him the movie “zeitgeist”and consequently Ano, took what he was given and never looked back. The United States Military awarded Ano an honorable discharge after he refused to continue his service and this is his remarkable story.
“My PTSD, like many others, is more on the subtle subconscious and psychological programming that all soldiers are subject to upon living underneath the prison and military industrial complex, then amplified by entering the military. My awakening came one year in to my second tour in the summer of 2008 when I stumbled across on a documentary that opened my eyes to the grave injustices of our society. After that rabbit hole was cracked, the rest led up to the cosmic freedom of the Self, embodied. I then contacted my family to alert them I was going AWOL in light of my new found information, to which I was calmed down and reassured that everything would be OK, and just to “take it slow”.
