Introduction

Many years ago I read a book by Nostradamus. The title was Lettre a Mon Fil. That’s French for Letter to my Son. It was a marvelous book and I wanted to keep it for my son to read when he became a man. But the book disappeared and I haven’t been able to locate another one anywhere. So I vowed to write a similar book for my son that would be filled with good advice for him.

This is that book. Three months ago I set a goal to complete it in time for his 28th Birthday. Today is June 27, 2008, his birthday, and when I finish this introduction to the book I will wait for my son to write the last chapter (chapter 9) before I publish it. Presently my son is an inmate in a Florida Prison.

This is my son’s second visit to prison and he doesn’t like it any better than the first time he got sent up the river. The difference this time, however, is that he is totally innocent of the crime for which he was convicted; as are many other people who get railroaded by a legal system that is hell bent on keeping as many people in jail as is possible. Prisoners are the source of income for countless numbers of Judges, lawyers, policemen, correction officers and tangent positions associated with a justice system that does not benefit from a reduction in crime.

The primary objective of this book is to provide as much information as possible to empower my son to be successful and productive when he reenters society. Secondly, I wanted him to know the trials, tribulations, and successes I experienced during my life so that, hopefully, he won’t make the same mistakes I did, and he will learn how I was able to accomplish all my life’s goals, to date.

Once he gets out he’s going to need the love of a good woman, too, who will be an excellent helpmate to help him steer clear of the temptations in life that often cause us men to think with the head that doesn’t have any brains. Through some of the stories in this book I relate how men are often led astray when a slut grabs us by our gonads and leads us off to the promised land of pussy-a-plenty. If I had a nickel for every time that happened to me I’d be very rich man. Instead, the sluts in my life took off with all my nickels, and then some.

Seriously, though, the humanitarian in me wants to accomplish something significant for all the prisoners who might read these words of wit. If you acquire the tools I’m teaching my son in this book then there is no doubt that you will be better prepared to reenter society and never get trapped up in the legal system again.

Statistically, 74% of the people in prison will be going back for another extended stay. Do you want to become one of the 74 out of 100 inmates who get sent back to prison for a second, third or more times? Of course you don’t. But what you don’t realize is that you have developed a prison mentality that wills you back into prison by the power of your subconscious mind. This book explains how your mind set is the worst enemy you have. It literally establishes events in your future that nearly guarantee you are going to be a victim of the system again.

My son is in prison for child abuse. But he never abused any children, and neither did a whole lot of other people who get caught up in a hysterical climate of erring on the side of the children. After being falsely accused of abusing my son when he was 12 years old I became an expert on the subject. Eventually I became a nationally known critic of an out of control system that incarcerates thousands of men and women who are falsely accused of abusing children. The first book I wrote was about the child abuse industry. That book, Children as Pawns & Weapons, is an incredible expose of the gestapo tactics of the Departments of Family Services in many states.

Most of the people who get convicted of crimes for which they should not be incarcerated are those of you who are in prison for drug related crimes. I am a staunch proponent for the legalization of any natural substance a person wants to indulge in. I am firmly against designer drugs because they pose too much of a threat to everyone. My thoughts on the entire subject are in this book. The title of that essay is, A Simple, Sensible Solution.

Personally speaking, you will not lead a successful, productive life through the use of any illegal drug or substance. I know. I tried. It’s just not possible. But if you want to waste your life, as I did much of mine, by self-medicating, I believe you should be allowed to without being sent to jail for it. It took a lot of experimenting to figure out that drugs were bad for me. However, I finally realized that I’d enjoy life a whole lot more without self-medicating to alleviate depression and anxiety. Take drugs and alcohol and you won’t be able to keep a clear mind, a healthy body, nor will you be able to become a successful and productive member of society. It’s that simple.

I can remember what my son said to me when I first sent him the book. He said, "Dad, I really appreciate you writing this book for me. But you don’t understand the mindset of the people I’m in here with. They’ll never read a book like this. It’s a waste of time trying to get through to them.

Well, I literally had to bribe my son to get him to utilize the skills I wanted him to learn from this book that I wrote for him. After he finally implemented those skills in his daily routine I asked him to write a testimonial of the changes it brought about in him. What he wrote was amazing and so I made him a co-author and included his testimonial as the last chapter in this book.

My son once said, Dad, I’m so sorry for rebelling against you when I was younger. Now I don’t know why I resented your trying to get me to me more like you. I wrote him back and said, Son, I was never trying to get you to be like me. I was trying to teach you the skills you would need to be a better you.

Finally he has learned the life skills I was trying to teach him, and matured into a man that any father would be proud of. Now that he has learned those skills and techniques I have no doubt that he will succeed at any goal he desires to achieve.

I was doubly pleased to learn that my son’s cell mate, Chris, experienced the change in my son, and asked him to teach him the skills outlined in our book. Then there were two. My greatest hope is that someday there will be millions who read our book, implement the skills it teaches, never return to prison, and go on to lead productive lives.,

If you want The Key to Stay Free this is it. I personally guarantee that you will live long and prosper if you acquire the war chest of tools I’ve written about in this book.

Dedicated

To My Son

John Helos McAlexander

Below is a poem that my son sent me from prison. I hope that it provides a glimmer of hope for every parent who reads it. If you’ve lost a child because of The Child Abuse Industry, I pray that they will return some day to say they are sorry, and to let you know how much they love you.

Golden Youth

By John H. McAlexander

January 1999

I look outside and see the rain

Through lonely tears, I feel your pain

As memories help me find

These words that come to mind

Remember how when I was young

And life was all so new

When every day I watched the setting sun

And was reminded of the love I felt from you

All my life you’ve gave me love

True love that I could feel

And like a gift from God above

I’ve learned that it is real

With years that seemed to last forever

But actually weren’t so long

Through youthful days of wasteful slumber

You tried to make me strong

Nightmares sometimes called my name

But you were always there by my side

To comfort me when the tears came

And crying sobs would not subside

I remember decisions I chose to make

That not even I could understand

And pain endured from those mistakes

But you were there to hold my hand

I was so excited with daily talks

Of the things I’d find out in school

Your loving smile and long walks

Failed to keep me from acting cool

Now I live with children who share their hurt

And every day I hear their cries

Still our parents walk through

all the dirt to try and dry our watering eyes

But no words could explain my heart

Or how I feel from having let you down

You reach for time that keeps us apart

Nowhere is where I am to be found

I’m sorry for all this pain I’ve caused I know it isn’t fair

For our lives to be on pause

While you wait for me to be there

You’ve always taught me right from wrong

Every day since I was new

And now the youthful years are gone

For a son who has always loved you

Love is what you are to me

You define the meaning of joy

And in my world of memories

I’ll forever be your little boy

I love you dad

Chapter 1

Butter Me Up Buttercup

MAN ON THE RUN

(Adapted from the Paul McCartney lyrics—Band on the Run)

Stuck inside these four walls

Sent inside forever

Never seein no one

Nice again

Like you hoo

Momma

Boo hoo

Momma

If I ever get out of here

Gonna try to run far away

Can’t stand this chastity.

Got to find a way

To get outta here today

Well the gun exploded with a mighty clash as I went on the run

And the first thing I thought was this ain’t any fun

Cause I’m the—Man on the run

Man on the run

And the jailer man—and warden Sam—were searching every one

For the—Man on the run

Now the undertaker made a heavy sigh seeing I wasn’t gonna come

And a bell was ringing in the village square for the man on the run

Cause I’m the—Man on the run

Man on the run

And the jailer man—and warden Sam—were searching every one

For the—Man on the run

Well, the night was falling as I began to settle down

And in the town they’re still searching everywhere

But I never will be found

Cause I’m the—Man on the run

Man on the run

And the jailer man—and warden Sam—were searching every one

For the—Man on the run

And the St. John’s County judge

Who held a grudge

Will search for evermore

For the man on `the run

Cause I’m the—Man on the run

Man on the run

Every inmate, of course, longs for the day when their ordeal will end, and, as you well know, the hardest part of serving time is the boredom. The best gift I can give you is a way to deal with that boredom in a unique way that you never would have realized if not for what I’ve written in this book. You are going to learn how to escape the bonds of your confinement in an amazing, imaginary world within your own mind. As an added benefit you’ll fantasize about ways and means to actually make your present time served a better one than you could ever possibly imagine, and it’s all about using your imagination to accomplish absolutely anything you desire; short of escaping, as lyrics of the previous song portray. Many of you reading this book will even figure out how to get out much sooner than you originally expected by using the techniques you will soon learn that will totally change you and get you excited about life once more.

A long time ago (I can’t remember when) I was reading an article in a psychology book about life changing experiences. According to this article most people only go through an average of five life changing events. Well, I’ve experienced far more than five, and I vividly remember each and every one of them. In fact, I experienced five in just one horrific year of my life. Four of them were extremely detrimental. Three of them actually caused me to collapse mentally, and one of them, taking Silva Mind Control classes, enabled me to survive the other four.

For reasons I still do not know to this very day my first wife was responsible for three of them. Up until then life could not have been more perfect for me. I was married to a beautiful woman. I owned an awesome Lotus Elan+2 sports car. I was taking college courses at night and planning on going to law school. Plus, my wife and I were able to travel extensively throughout Europe for about six months of every year when we were in Belgium at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE)

Six years after our divorce my first wife telephoned to apologize for all the trouble she felt responsible for during our marriage. I never knew for sure if her apology was sincere or if she fully realized the extent of the damage she had caused me. I always wondered if she ever felt any real feelings of remorse or regret. I never condemned her or even discussed the things she did that so drastically impacted my career and me mentally. In fact, for 19 years I purposefully envisioned a tranquil life for her so that, hopefully, she would not suffer retribution for her sins, and, foolishly, I hoped that someday she would realize how much I loved her and come back to me.

It was because of Silva Mind Control training that I realized the
