I changed my name from Okolo, to Kolo over twenty years ago…

I changed my name from Okolo, to Kolo over twenty years ago, to assume not my father’s name, nor my grandfather’s name, who in truth was my original father. Okolo loosely translates as Warrior or noble warrior, and my Grandfather’s name Umeano means “breathe.” Throughout my life I have fought for the right to my own name, but before that could happen I found myself being a warrior of breath, fighting for the name Okolo as well as Umeano, then for my Father’s principle and my mother’s principle; one being truth and the other being beauty. In order to rescue my father’s truth I had to enter the world of deception and lies and still prevail. Then, I traveled through the dimension where beauty had become ugliness… so ugly that I closed my eyes and wished to leave. Finally, I had to enter a dimension where lies and ugliness had united to overthrow beauty and truth (this is where I have been for the last two months.)

It is from this place I changed my name from Okolo, to Kolo over twenty years ago, to assume not my father’s name, nor my grandfather’s name who in truth was my original father. Okolo loosely translates as Warrior, noble warrior and my Grandfather’s name Umeano means breathe… throughout my life I have fought for the right to my own name.

In order to rescue my father’s truth I had to enter the world of deception and lies and still prevail. Then I traveled through the dimension where beauty had become ugliness… so ugly that I closed my eyes and wished to leave. Finally, I navigated a dimension where lies and ugliness had united to overthrow beauty and truth (this is where I have been for the last two months.)

It is from this place was I commanded to bring forth Beauty and Truth through expression while being tormented through my body, mind and by those around me who gave me no peace, to prove my truth and my being. I think I have done this, for I am not moved from my truth nor was I moved from my quest and mission even when the illusion was so great that I was completely alone. The name Kolo I later found out is also a Polish name. So I understood in you that I have found one of my true brothers. To have a conversation with you would be an honor, and I hope that one day we can do a film together. I have had many offers to film me, and make a film, some even made, but it seems as if a power greater is keeping me away from all success and financial comfort so I can reach the end of this play. One of the last books I wrote, but have not had the time nor space from demands of the circumstances and people that I have been surrounded with, to edit, is called the “The True Conversation Between Atom and Energy E.” I guess this makes you a rep of the Atom… and I look forward to seeing you and having that conversation, that somehow I know we have had before.
