Personal Experiences
Throughout the past years folks have continually asked me; How did you come to
know and believe as you do?
This happens more and more as people read The Path. I
hesitate to respond. It has been a long and complicated journey. Additionally,
most are interested in finding a single source of Knowledge and many have a
tendency to look to the Master as the source. It is often a shock to discover
that the Master is only the guide and that all Knowledge lies within.
Describing my entire Path would result in another book.
Obviously, this newsletter cannot contain all that data. So, I will fill you
in on the highlights.
I was an audible telepath from a very young age. As far
back as I can recall, from perhaps ten or eleven years old, the ability has
been present.
What is an audible telepath? This means that I hear the
thoughts of others in my audio center, in their voice, as if they had actually
spoken. This ability is so precise that, unless I am looking at an individual
when the thoughts become available, I am unable to determine if they had
actually spoken aloud or I am hearing their thoughts.
This ability was more of a ‘stumbling block’ than a
blessing in my younger years. I would occasionally respond aloud to the
thoughts of others and the result was often shocking. The adults that I shared
this with were not very helpful. Most would just tell me that it was my
imagination. I was also told that the ability was ‘evil’ and that I should
strive to get rid of it. How? No suggestions, there.
I began reading anything spiritual or metaphysical that I
could lay my hands on. The young mind is impressionable, and perhaps the
greatest leap in my path came through reading the works of J.B. Rind and his
experiments in the paranormal. Reading the Max Long ‘Secret Science’
series on the abilities of the Kahuna and I
Believe in Miracles by Kathryn Kuhlman placed me on a pinnacle. I believed in
healing, believed that I was or could be a healer and was raised a Lutheran.
Through long
established connections, I was able to participate in Kathryn Kuhlman healing
services and study what was happening there. I was not just a member of the
audience. I was allowed into her ‘team’ and got the instructional
briefings. Yes, healings took place there. No, it is not what it seems on the
surface.
I was also able to visit the
Philippine psychic surgeons. I had a very good ‘guide’ named Lenora
throughout my entire stay. Lenora was a registered nurse and a healer, too.
Although she did not perform the ‘open surgery’ as others did, results
under her hands were quite astounding. Because of her, I was able to leave the
city and travel into the provinces where there is no electricity, running
water or modern transportation.
I did not take photos or make movies. I had no need to be convinced that
healing is authentic. Physical transformations had already taken place under
my own hands. I think that it was partly due to this that I was welcomed by
the healers became a part of their inner circle. I was often invited to join
the healers in their duties and have actually had my hands in the open bodies
under the direction of the healers. In one instance the healer actually
stepped back and I remained alone at the table for over an hour as person
after person, without hesitation stepped forward to receive the blessing.
To establish a
time line, I am fifty seven now and was around thirty then. Okay, there are
some big gaps, but I don’t want to write a book right now.
These early
experiences were shrouded in religious beliefs. My innate ability to perceive
what others were actually thinking along with an awareness of the
participating spirits gave me an edge, but the need to believe in something
became very strong. In my mind, I had to make a choice between religion and
science. I chose religion and decided to become a minister.
I am not going to
tell you what belief system I found myself in, but I will say that it was more
open to miracles and ‘gifts of the spirit’ than traditional churches.
Again , my ability to connect gave me a distinct advantage, and it was just as
easy to accept the teaching that it was God’s special gift to me as it was
to admit that I had always had the ability. But there remained a lingering
Question: If my belief is ‘right’ then why do those that believe
differently experience the same ‘gifts’ and abilities?
Through all of
this, I lived a ‘secret life.’ I had learned to meditate at a young age
and found it very difficult to set this practice aside. From the perspective
of the belief system that I had become involved with, meditation was not quite
what one would call an accepted practice. So, I meditated in secret.
That Question,
‘If my belief is ‘right’ then why do those that believe differently
experience the same ‘gifts’ and abilities?’ was lingering during a
meditation when my awareness expanded with a snap. I felt as if I had been
pulled out of the top of my head, found myself in total Love and acceptance
and was able to ‘see’ and ‘understand’ every belief system that I had
ever studied or was even aware of. They were all ‘right’ at that moment.
Everything fit perfectly. Yet, MY Question remained. There was no entity
present, but a very distinct voice said,
‘Whatever you believe in will work, my son.’
In an instant, I
knew what I had always felt. I opened the door for The Master.
To be continued.
