The Seventh Sense

Six year old Rafael Saenz, after being told that his mother had abandoned his family, begins a search for the meaning of love. His search, coupled with an ambition to become an artist, makes him alert to intangible expressions of love’s presence or absence indiscernible to most other souls. Many years later, as a Veteran Air Force Medical Corpsman, and with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts, Rafael encounters extraordinary experiences through the Gift of Healing and the Gift of Art. The “world”—which first included family, local friends, schoolmates, university studies, and military service—became his classroom. In the process, Rafael’s original sense about love’s meaning was slowly dispelled, until he beneficially realized that the world’s lessons about love always come through agonizing pain. But he decided that he no longer wanted to learn love’s meaning through pain. He asked to learn love’s meaning from Love Itself. In so doing, Love answered, and all his experiences—past and present, secular and spiritual—were retranslated until he finally discovered love’s true meaning, in part, through his anointed prophetic art.
