Before hearing God sometime back in 1996, I believed my life was
\npretty much like most others in this world.\u00a0 I was a father, a husband
\nand a businessman.<\/p>\n
Many would say I was living the American dream:\u00a0 Living in Florida
\nwith a loving family, a beautiful home on the water, complete with a
\nheated pool and spa as well as a boat docked in the back yard.\u00a0 I
\nremember thinking,\u00a0 \u201cWhat more could anyone ask for?\u201d\u00a0 In the way of
\nthe world, once that question had been asked, it did not take long for
\nmy mind to come up with many somethings more.\u00a0 The answer that came to
\nme was to create a company that would make millions of dollars, so
\nrather than take that occasional trip to Europe with my family we
\ncould travel wherever and when ever we wanted to.<\/p>\n
Without going into all details, I developed a business plan and worked
\non it over the course of the whole of 1995. Oddly enough, it was only
\nwhen everything was in place and I was ready to launch a new business
\nthat my life and my view of reality took a turn, to put it mildly.
\nThat turn was triggered by hearing God speak to me and tell me to
\nforgo the project I had worked on for so long. Additionally, I was I
\nwas told specifically to start mediating everyday.\u00a0 With no small
\ndegree of hesitation, I put my business plans on hold.\u00a0 And I began to
\nmeditate.\u00a0 When I first began meditating, I felt pretty silly because
\nnothing seemed to be happening.\u00a0 On numerous occasions I remember
\nasking myself,\u00a0 \u201cWhat are you doing? Are you crazy?\u201d<\/p>\n
I keep asking for signs to show me that what I was told had indeed
\ncome from God and not just my imagination.\u00a0 One day in particular, I
\nwas feeling that it was too hard to let go of the picture of the
\nfuture I had planned for both myself and my family. What was happening
\nto me seemed too bizarre to blindly trust and justify throwing away my
\ndreams. Yet, there was something that told me what I had experienced
\nwas real. The internal struggle seemed at that time almost too much to
\ntake.<\/p>\n
Realizing that there was no one I could talk to about what was
\nhappening, I asked God to show me that indeed these new sensations,
\nthis new direction was coming from Him.\u00a0 Immediately upon my asking,
\nwhile stopped at a traffic light, a bird appeared and flew to the
\ndrivers\u2019 side window beside me. Up to that moment I had never seen a
\nbird flutter in mid air and stay in one spot other than a humming
\nbird. I am not an expert on birds but I can say it with complete
\ncertainty this was no humming bird.<\/p>\n
Although the experience lasted only for a couple of minutes, when that
\nbird make eye contact with me I knew God had sent the confirmation I
\nhad just asked for.<\/p>\n
Over the next few months I continued my regimen of meditation and
\nprayer.\u00a0 All that time I did not know what to make of what was
\nhappening. Today however, I now know I was being prepared for a role I
\nwas play. That role is prophet or madman.<\/p>\n
Once I accepted that I was here to do something other than live the
\nlife I had previously known, I was given a message to write a
\nspiritual book.<\/p>\n
Possessing little or no understanding of the world religions, not to
\nmention metaphysics, I thought I was being called to do the
\nimpossible. Day after day\u00a0 I would meditate and pray for guidance. My
\nprayer was always the same, \u201cGod, just show me what you want me to
\nwrite.\u201d<\/p>\n
What happened next made every moment of my life and every memory of
\nthat\u00a0 life appear to have been a kind of dream.<\/p>\n
I wish there were some way to convey a picture of the connection, the
\nunion I\u00a0 Experienced, but words fail.<\/p>\n
The only way I can come close to describing my experience with words
\nis to say I was instantaneously gifted with an overview of the whole
\nof Creation and a realization that we all are a part of a living
\nconsciousness that is infinite and beyond the boundaries of linear
\ntime and space. I was left with not only the picture of all dimensions
\nof time and space as an interconnected whole, but with clear direction
\nthat I was to write about and teach what I had been shown.<\/p>\n
I can honestly say that although there are times when my ego
\npersonality shows me that it is a breath away and I can have a
\njudgmental thought on occasion, I can never forget that there is
\nanother level of awareness available to each and every one of us in
\nthis world. Regardless as to what nationality we come from or what
\nreligion we are practicing, the truth I am\u00a0 here to share is that Our
\nCreator is Unconditional Love and Ever Present.<\/p>\n
Each and every one on this planet is equally a part of the same living
\nconsciousness.\u00a0 It matters not so much what name or label you use.
\nWhat matters is how you interact with every other one of Our Father\u2019s
\nChildren.<\/p>\n
It is a wonderful step in my journey to join Beliefnet and to be given
\nthis opportunity to meet so many of my brothers and sisters in our
\nhuman family I haven\u2019t had the opportunity to meet yet.<\/p>\n
Love and Light<\/p>\n
