Benjamin Newman is an insightful young author writing poetry to be enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds. When he's not writing, he is often writing music or playing tabletop roleplaying games with friends. Benjamin first began writing poetry as a means to communicate abstract ideas associated with the deeper mysteries of life; and the mundane struggles of living. Beginning his theological journey in a secular Jewish household, he then became a militant atheist and turned toward science as he was exposed to other popular religions. Then after pondering the many great logical fallacies of religion, he realized that there is much more to life than most believe. He realized that there are much subtler aspects of being human than the "daily grind," and all that it takes to change the world is to "suspend your disbelief." He was compelled to share these insights so he began The Schmuel Project to be the primary disseminator of hidden knowledge to anyone who will listen.
