Letter To My Parents

When love came wrapped in conditions, obedience scored higher than honesty. The God of Rules is the third volume in Gugulethu's revolutionary Letter to My Parents series — a spiritual reckoning that dares to confront the inherited gods of fear, guilt, and control. It is a letter written not to accuse, but to awaken. A mirror held up to a generation that taught obedience before understanding, and reverence before truth. In this powerful reflection, Gugulethu journeys back to the roots of belief — to the days when faith was performance, and holiness was measured by compliance. Through the eyes of a son, he revisits the rituals and rules that shaped his understanding of God, love, and worthiness. Through the heart of a father, he learns to unlearn, to see that what we called "God" was often the echo of fear disguised as devotion. Each chapter peels back a layer of conditioning, exposing the painful distance between law and love. Between what we were taught to believe, and what our souls always knew to be true. Here, religion becomes both the cage and the catalyst — the place where the search for God begins and, inevitably, breaks open. This volume is not about rebellion against faith; it is about remembrance of Source. It is about returning to the God who does not punish or demand, but is. The God who is not contained in rulebooks or rituals, but revealed through consciousness, compassion, and the quiet knowing of the heart. Beneath the weight of doctrines and dogmas, Gugulethu finds the living thread that connects us all — the same ancestral wisdom that whispers through bloodlines, teaching that love without freedom is not love at all. Letter to My Parents: The God of Rules is a raw, lyrical meditation for seekers, healers, and anyone who has ever asked, "Who told me what God is — and why did I believe them?" It invites readers to question courageously, love unconditionally, and return to the place where truth and spirit are one.
