About The Sword that Divides
My Background
Michael Ray Arguello is the author of The Sword that Divides. He has served in the U.S. Army Infantry with two combat deployments. He has worked in the Department of Homeland Security supervising security forces, supervising incident management, and managing various programs related to performance, ideation, collaboration, and civil rights.
Michael currently works in the Department of Commerce managing international programs related to patent examination. He is also the owner of The Yokes on Us, a life coach service and abuse survivor community.
As a survivor of a very covert and manipulative form of domestic abuse, Michael stands against this abuse and uses his book, The Sword that Divides, as a method to expose this abuse to the public. Exposure leads to action, and his book is a catalyst to that as well as a manual.
My Philosophy
Life is too short to not feel whole, and trials, tribulation, and triumph will achieve wholeness. After all, a gem cannot be polished without friction. I am an advocate for shadow work, and I have turned my suffering into gold and you can too.
My Book
The Sword that Divides takes the reader on a journey through the life of the author, Michael Ray Arguello, as he introduces how so many people utilize covert manipulative tactics against others while giving off the public appearance of being good-natured, and how this has led to practically undetectable domestic abuse and the trauma that creates in the targeted individual and how it impacts the rest of their life very negatively. The book was written to help readers identify covert manipulative tactics being deployed against them so they can identify toxicity and counter it by building boundaries, defending against manipulation tactics, and applying covert offensive tactics designed to lay the foundation for their own prolonged protection.
