Years after learning that the organization that he was a part of was in fact a cult, Benjamin wakes up and escapes. After attending several churches, some good and some bad, he realizes that he would find answers another way. He embarks upon an intellectual odyssey of study and self-reflection that would ensue for several years. This journey leads to a transformation that caused a change of scenery.
