CHAPTER 1
Psychic Beginnings
Fascinating and sometimes astounding psychic experiences havebeen a central part of my life since a very young age. The firstexperience I can remember occurred around the age of six months.It was a warm late winter afternoon, and I was a tiny newborninfant having come into the world the previous summer. My birththe previous year was a joyous event for Mom and Dad, and theywere now the proud parents of yet another son, the third one inthe family. Just like other parents, they were thrilled by the newaddition. Life was being good to them with a new child in the family,and they proudly displayed their pride and joy for all to see.
At that very young age, I consciously remember almost nothingabout the first several years of life. However, there was one incidentthat has always stayed with me. That remembrance has never leftand will always be stamped in my memory.
It was naptime that winter afternoon in Northern California,with every afternoon involving the same routine of putting me downto rest for a good nap. During one particular rest period, somethingvery intriguing and stimulating happened. Even though there are nomemories of the other afternoon naps, this one particular naptimehas stayed in my consciousness as if it occurred yesterday. In fact,there are very few conscious memories of the first three years of life,but this one particular afternoon proved to be different.
As I quietly rested on the bed with stillness and silence in theroom, suddenly my conscious awareness seemed to come alive. All ofa sudden I could formulate thoughts in my mind and these thoughtswere coming in the form of sentences. Where were they comingfrom and why was my awareness suddenly being stirred to life? I wasa tiny infant that had six months earlier come into the world, so howcould this be happening? Even more puzzling, these thoughts werein English, a language that I had not yet begun to learn. Why werethe thoughts coming through in a language I did not know, and whywas my conscious memory suddenly being awakened in this way?Lying on my back, I continued to study the surroundings, lookingup at the walls and ceiling. Being so young at the time and unableto move my little body very much, I just kept staring at the featuresof the room from my location of the bed I was in.
This consciousness felt wonderful, suddenly being able to havethoughts rushing through my head. But why was this happening now,and why had it never happened before? Scanning the surroundings,I kept thinking to myself "Why are the colors in the room so dull,and where are the beautiful colors of Heaven?" These questionswere strangely puzzling as my little infant eyes continued to studythe room.
The curtains had been pulled to make it darker and easier tosleep, but the odd dullness in the room seemed to go beyond that.Although the room was darkened, the lack of depth to the colorsseemed very strange and unusual to look at. "It's just so dull anddreary looking," were the constant thoughts rushing through myhead. It was as if I had been used to incredibly vibrant colors and allof a sudden they were gone, having been replaced with bland tonesthat lacked intensity and had little depth. It was simply a room thatlacked the vibrancy of Heaven. For those few minutes, I constantlylooked around with great interest, all the while continuing to havethoughts in English.
After several minutes, a form suddenly appeared to the rightside of me. It was a man, except this man was in spirit form. At thetime, I didn't realize he was in a spiritual body, and as a tiny infant,I simply knew a person had appeared next to the crib. It was manyyears later thinking back on that day that it became obvious he wasnot in physical form.
Looking back on this event, I realized he had the normalfeatures of an adult male, except with this particular male; therewas one very important difference. There was light around him,a beautiful glowing light that seemed to radiate various shades ofsoft multicolor. After reaching older adolescent age thinking aboutthis incident, I realized that is what made him so different fromsomeone in a physical body. He radiated what I call "The Light."The warm and gentle light that emanated from him made him lookalmost transparent, when he suddenly appeared next to the bed,with all the colors of the rainbow softly being displayed around hisbody.
I was a tiny infant having a normal daytime rest period, whensuddenly my consciousness was stirred with English sentencesforming in my mind, and within a few minutes a man in spiritform quickly appeared to the right side of me. This man was in adefinite rush, going past the bed in a fast and deliberate manner.As he went by, he telepathically spoke in English saying, "Thereis a fire. I am going to get help." His message was given to me bythought transference, and that is all he said. It was a bit hard tosee him, since I was so tiny and unable to move my neck around toview him. After he had said those words with a certain amount ofurgency, I watched him go past the bed, rapidly disappearing intothe next room.
Many years later it was confirmed with Mom and Dad thatthere was a small fire that had started right outside the house thatafternoon. A babysitter was in the kitchen working during afternoonnaptime, having the job of tending to me while they were out ofthe house. After the fire had started, she did discover it, quicklynotifying the fire department to come and put it out. There waseven a clipping in the local newspaper about the fire that had ignitedthat afternoon at my home.
After the man in spirit walked past my bedside, I suddenly lostconscious memory again. There is no recollection of the babysitter,the men from the fire department arriving, or my parent's upsetover the incident. None of that can be remembered. There was amemory blank in my young life after that incident, similar to thevoid in memory a little while before the male in spirit had appeared.From that point forward, my conscious memory was once againgone until around the age of three or four. By that time, recall andconsciousness started to rapidly develop.
That wonderful awareness and perception within me did cometo life for a brief time on that late winter afternoon, but why didit happen at that time? Looking back upon the situation, it doesseem the male in spirit form was acting as a protector and guardian,watching over the home and those inside. I strongly feel he went intothe kitchen for the purpose of alerting the babysitter, influencingher thoughts and actions so that she would discover the fire thathad started that afternoon.
I am an intuitive, having constantly experienced many formsof psychic phenomenon since this very young age. These eventshave always played a large and important role in my life. I wantto share with you numerous spiritual experiences that I havehad, and together we can look at these experiences, gaining moreunderstanding and depth into the connection between the physicalworld and the world of the spiritual side.
Never judging any of these experiences, I just let them happenwithout logical reasoning, letting the time for rational analysiscome after the event. Logical reasoning interferes with the psychicprocess, so when one of these sixth sense experiences occurs, it isimportant to just let it flow and happen naturally. It wasn't untilnumerous years after the event of the house fire and the male inspirit appearing, that I was able to rationalize what had happened.When it was occurring, I simply watched him, not realizing a psychicexperience was taking place.
Why would a tiny infant wonder why the colors in that bedroomwere so dull and lifeless? It is my belief that at such a young agewe are still very familiar with the glorious colors of The OtherSide. We are used to the energies and vibrancy of that dimensionbecause we have just come from there. Each of us makes thisjourney between Heaven and Earth many times, with each tripback to Earth becoming yet another incarnation and lifetime. Thefact that I was so young when questioning the dullness of the room,suggests the familiarity of Heaven was still with me and was freshon my mind. The magnificent beauty and glory of The Other Sidewas in my memory, where all colors are infinitely more vibrant andbeautiful than any here on Earth. I do feel that is why I questionedand felt very puzzled with the dull drabness of the colors in theroom that day.
Why was a little newborn able to formulate thoughts intosentences and hear the male speak telepathically? It does seemimpossible in a logical sense that an infant could do that. But onceagain, I think it has to do with the awareness of The Other Side. Ihad just come from a place that is very social and filled with people,a place where we telepathically communicate with each other andare always in spiritual form.
When the male in spirit rushed past me that afternoon,it became a very natural thing to see. I was simply witnessingsomething that was very familiar. The male in paranormal spiritform stirred my awareness, even though my perception had notyet been stimulated by the fifth sense earth dimension. I was waytoo young to have fully readapted to life in the physical realm. Forthat reason, my consciousness came to life when someone from thespiritual dimension came to help and warn in a time of danger.
We can be so thankful that there are those in spirit that watchover us and help guide us on our earthly path. This guardian spiritthat came proved to do just that, coming to the aid of the babysitterand me. He was right there to help, giving assistance in a time ofperil and risk.
Throughout my life, I have witnessed this type of help from thespiritual side of life, having seen this type of assistance happen overand over. They are here to help all of us whenever possible, and itis our privilege to try and develop a stronger connection with them.By the age of four, my earthly conscious memory was becoming fullydeveloped, and I started to remember daily activities of life here onEarth. Up until that time, about the only conscious memory was ofthat one winter day when the small house fire ignited.
Another fascinating experience happened around the age ofseven. It was the Christmas Season, a time of year that is so veryspecial for children. There was a lot of joy and happiness in theair, and I was feeling the Christmas spirit like only a child canfeel. Having a Christmas record and feeling very filled with theChristmas spirit, I decided to play it in the bedroom and listento the music. Putting the record on the player, I hopped into bedfeeling very excited about listening to the wonderful carols.
The music began to play and it sounded great. Although itsounded wonderful, I wanted to experience something more and tofeel the music on a deeper level. Christmas is such a festive season,and I wanted to experience something very extraordinary. Much tomy surprise, that is exactly what happened. While lying on the bedlooking up at the ceiling listening to the carols, suddenly the roomseemed to expand. It was as if the walls and ceiling were instantlygone, and the confines of the room had surprisingly expanded.Suddenly there was a feeling of total freedom and unlimited vistas,as I quietly stared at the world beyond my room.
My eyes seemed more glued to the scenery above me than tothe sides where the walls had been. The ceiling was gone, and inits place were incredible sensations with an awareness that wentfar beyond Earth. There was a feeling of great unconditional lovealong with the visual effects of many beautiful colors. Next I heardamazingly splendid voices that sounded like those of angels, singingalong with the carols. The pureness and great depth of their voiceswas unlike anything I had ever heard on Earth. As a child, I keptthinking that nothing here could ever sound like that. This amazingexperience lasted for maybe ten minutes. During that time, I restedon the bed, staring up toward the ceiling experiencing Christmasin Heaven.
I have come to realize over the years that the feelings andawareness of the spiritual world are entirely different than thefeelings of our physical earth plane. On The Other Side, all of thesenses are hugely magnified, due to the pureness and high energiesthat exist in those realms. The elevated energies that exist therecarry great goodness and purity. It is my sincere belief during thatone evening as a little child listening to the Christmas music, aconnection was made between Earth and Heaven. I was able toexperience a portion of the true wonder of many heavenly voicessinging with the music, giving praise to God. It was a wonderfulexperience, and the memories and feelings of the event will alwaysstay with me.
It is such a special time when we are children growing up. Weare constantly experiencing life, with so much to learn and so muchliving ahead of us. Other than numerous spiritual experiences,my very early childhood was a normal one. I enjoyed many of theactivities young boys often enjoy doing, playing with friends andgetting outside, anxiously ready to explore the world.
Infants and young children are some of the most psychic peoplesince they have recently arrived back on Earth from The OtherSide. They tend to experience things without logical reasoningand analysis, just letting it happen and not questioning why it isoccurring. It is only a few years later after much conditioning of lifehere on Earth that children start to get older and begin to loosethis natural ability to tune into the sixth sense world. Adults veryoften tell them that their imaginary friends are just figments of theirimagination, insisting that they need to stop their imagining andget back to the real world. So the conditioning of daily life and thebreaking away from spiritual awareness normally gets stronger, withthe connection between the physical and spiritual sides graduallybecoming weaker. Eventually, most older children and adolescentshave pretty much broken away from their strong connection withthe sixth sense realm, having their thoughts and concentrationdevoted to life in the physical world.
Growing up as a child, I had more than my share of psychicawareness around me. I seemed to be a little different from mostchildren, because I was refusing to break away from spiritual sixthsense awareness. During this time, I kept trying to concentratemore on the physical world, but this other world of magnified senseswas there as well, and it refused to leave. Being only a child, I hadno idea what it was, and that it can actually be very helpful to us.I didn't understand that the high energies radiating from Heavencan help us in so many ways. Without this understanding, it becamevery confusing at times, because it was just there and would not goaway.
Constantly seeing and knowing things, it became very bafflingas I realized others didn't see and know what I was experiencing.Images would flash in front of me while at other times there was justthis "knowing" about people and things. It was all such a mysteryto my young mind, and by the ages of eight and nine, all I wantedto do was to try and block it out. Whatever this was around me,I just wanted to be a normal boy growing up like other children.Experiencing life in both the physical and spiritual worlds wasperplexing, and being only a child, I had never heard of psychicphenomenon and sixth sense awareness.
During this time it seemed there was no one to talk to, and theother older children didn't seem to have as much of this awareness.For that reason, I kept the thoughts of what I was experiencingto myself in the hopes this perplexing situation would somehowgo away. Now getting older, I was growing up in a physical worldand wanted to experience only that world. As a boy getting older,I certainly didn't care about this other paranormal world. It wasinterfering with my young life, and it felt like it was time to just bea boy, putting this other world aside.
One day around the age of nine, I was in the garage playingand having fun like children will have, when suddenly a male inspirit appeared. He must have been about ten feet away and waslooking directly at me with great interest, while I looked right backat him with equal fascination. We both silently stood looking at oneanother while he made no attempt to telepathically communicateany type of message. As we studied each other, I noticed the samequality around him that had been around the male spirit numerousyears earlier as an infant. His body also appeared to be composed oflight. It was not a physical body, but rather a body of energies thatemitted various shades and colors. At the time, I was not aware ofhis clothing, being too busy observing and studying the fascinatingglowing colors that surrounded him. During this entire time, I neversensed any communication from him.
