They Called Me Opie.

I grew up in the groovy 60’s and swinging 70’s in a small Wisconsin city on the shore of Lake Michigan. Life was fairly Mayberry-esque in our town and with our limited television channels when a popular show was on, everyone was watching it. Everyone, that is, except me.

I was a kid who loved the outdoors and had lots of Twinkie and Koolaid induced sugar energy to burn, so after Saturday morning cartoons I was off on some adventure of exploration. Our town had miles of beaches, a winding river running through it and forests all around where a kid could experience the freedom of imaginative play without constantly worrying about being too loud or breaking some adult rule. Looking back, it seems quite idyllic and not at all unlike the fictional town of Mayberry which has become symbolic of small town values.

In the book MENTAGENESIS: Free Your Mind To Create Your Future! I explain that there’s a mysterious and fortuitous connection between myself and the character Opie on the Classic TV comedy “The Andy Griffith Show”. It has to do with one particular episode. This connection brought much good fortune my way and predisposed me to accidentally begin using the power of MENTAGENESIS from a young age, without even knowing what I was doing!

Furthermore, the good people of Sheboygan, (my home town) were complicit in creating this connection because they obviously thought I looked like the young Ron Howard who played Opie on the TV show. Wherever I would go they would point at me, call me Opie and try to rub my head. Years later I discovered why and this led me to a revelation about the way MENTAGENESIS works!

So what do you think? Did I bear a resemblance to Opie/Ron Howard on The Andy Griffith Show? Would you go out of your way to try to rub the noggin of this kid? Did you know that children hold the key to manifestation by the way they play and the way they interact with the world?

What did Jesus mean when he said that to enter the Kingdom of Heaven you must become as a little child? Is it possible he was referring to the free use of our imagination to manifest our preferred reality? I invite you to subscribe to this blog if you’d like to learn more!

Listen to a 4:31 minute sample of MENTAGENESIS.


My latest book proposes alternative views on human history, extraterrestrial involvement, and societal manipulation. We explore ancient civilizations, discovering lost technologies and hidden truths about humanity’s past and future potential. My research suggests that remnants of advanced technologies exist worldwide and challenges the accepted historical narrative that minimizes our connection to these civilizations.

This book advocates for expanded consciousness and challenges societal norms imposed by a controlling elite. I also include over 250 full color images. I dare say, anyone who reads it with an open mind will have their beliefs about ancient and contemporary history challenged! This is not only a book about manipulated history, but also about how our beliefs shape our current reality.

Thank you in advance for supporting the cause of full disclosure! – Daniel


And finally, for Children of all ages, I wrote a book that teaches in a fun and humorous way the concepts of being curious, open-minded and a critical thinker.

Finnegan is a fish in the Great Wide Ocean who goes on a journey to see all he can of his watery world. He encounters many colorful characters along the way. Then he has an encounter that causes him to question the things he’s been taught in school. He and his Angelfish friend Gabby begin to explore the idea that there may be more to the world than the wet one they live in.

Many full color illustrations to captivate your youngster’s imagination. Takes approximately 10 minutes for an adult to read. Great for those bedtime stories!
