Author Information

I was born Raymond Ramirez. During my junior high school years I added Aguayo as my middle name using my mother's maiden name. In 2019, I learned I was 51% Native American. I also knew I had Spanish and Mexican ancestry in my blood. My father's mother was a Native American. Once I learned this, things began to become clear. You see, I have always been in tune with my surroundings. I felt things before they happened. While in Vietnam, I felt one with nature. The trees, bushes, animals, and creatures were communicating with me. There are many powers out there that are still unknown to man. Exploring space is great. But, we haven't discovered everything here on earth. Becoming a Seer is one of the greatest achievements known to man. I received an AA degree in Social Welfare from Cerritos College and a John Hopkins University Certificate of completion in the Top Management Program at UCLA. The VA paid for it all.
