In the mid 90’s I met a coworker that I liked to be around at night to shoot the bull and pass the time on our graveyard shift at the jail in Alameda County. I was a building maintenance worker and he was a robotic technician working on the carts that carried food and laundry to the prisoner pods. Neither of us smoked in the beginning but by the time the shift ended one evening we had managed to smoke a pack of the electrician’s cigarettes and then it became a habit at night to smoke and talk.

He confided in me that he was in search of a new truth for himself through meditation and out of the body experiences. This was all I needed to get stoked, wow, “out of body experiences”, or astral travel if you prefer. I got grandiose images in my head about popping into Sacramento in a time lapse to grab the lotto numbers, I was rich, rich, filthy rich. This coworker began to mentor me in the ways of meditation and directed me to books that we shared out of brown paper bags, being afraid to be laughed at by the other coworkers and worse the deputies that shared out workspaces. My new mentor soon imparted enough for me to strike out on my own and began meditating. In this I found I whole new world of peace within a troubled soul. He also stood fast to the dogma that a person, no matter whom, cannot use meditation or out of body experiences to gain material wealth, so my visions of being a millionaire vanished with my belief system in “nothing”. 

Following periods of meditation, I would begin to have questions about the broader scope of the universe and spirituality itself. My questions were beginning to be answered in life-like visions during meditation and during sleep periods with lucid dreams. I slowly changed my life style, eating habits and with each change came the feeling of more enlightenment. I noticed the abundance animals began appearing every day and then I felt the animals began to communicate with me. I would ask questions in silence of the “Supreme Power” and sometimes a white owl would deliver confirmation or denial of my query. I would ask the night sky for the meaning of life and why I was always so unhappy and feeling displaced even after many years of sobriety. The screech of the white owl would point me in another direction and if I followed the clue, I was rewarded with marvelous insight. I began to believe in spirituality and chanced that perhaps I had been wrong all my younger years and that there was really a “God” of sorts out there listening.

In meditation I would find that peace and the higher power were connected somehow. I began to encounter past lives in the meditations that came coming back to one theme. Each time I died. I died angry with someone or something; an un-repairable injustice. At the point of death I found myself in the arms of an all-encompassing love, a love that was indescribable but it was certainly a love beyond the understanding of Humankind.  I felt this to be a love that only the “Creator of all that is” could deliver during these opportune moments. As a daily rite I began to follow this feeling of inner peace connected to love. This peace continued to lead me to more books, metaphysical stores and mostly to others of Humankind that where searching as I.  I found that many of these humans had something to give me for my journey in the quest to find answers.

I went through some serious changes after some difficult automobile accidents I suffered in 2000. In reality these collisions were messages for me from the universe to slow down and redirect some of my energy back to the search for “God”.  Ironically, I was injured enough that I was unable to meditate and could not come to rest with the pain. At some point, I moved on and began to seek others at physic fairs and any other place I could find like-minded people. In 2002 the Universe had decided that I had not listed completely to the message that it had delivered so it gave me another nudge. I was rear ended twice more for good measure and was all but put out of physical commission. I had to limit my driving time which gave me more time at home to heal. With this insight I acknowledged fully the presence of a higher power and relented that I was just a single player in the creation and presentation of life on earth.

I began a dream journal in 2000 and retained a few books that help me decipher these dreams either real, or imagined. In the months of June through August 2002, my dreams became more life like; I would swear that I was a wake and watching cartoons or news reels with my eyes closed. These phenomena lasted for three months and I began to question my sanity. In mid September of 2002 I began seeing tiny blinking red, green and blue lights and even stranger things were beginning to happen to me. I could not justify much of my existence now and I was living a reality that was unfamiliar in every sense of the word. I was seeking answers but I had a small pool to draw from and certainly this did not include anyone I knew. I did not want other people thinking I had lost my sense of reality. Starting in June of the year 2002 my wife, Karen, was in Folsom on assignment for her County job and I had the condominium to myself; day and night during the weekdays. By chance, I stopped by a metaphysical store one afternoon and the fellow at the counter looked like a person I could relate to in all probability. I explained my circumstance and after thirty minutes of babbling and a free consultation I was told that the explanation was simple, “it’s Faeries”. 

For a couple of days I sat out snacks and flowers as he had suggested and lo and behold,  the little lights twinkled nightly and I could feel the love emanating from whatever the power source was. At midnight in September, I sat directly up in bed with a startle. Someone had snuck into my bedroom and defiled my walls with toilet paper and shaving cream. I personally was covered with shaving cream from belly to feet, …………………………………………………..

From this day forward, they came from the headboard mirror at night to tease me and to love me without cause. I have lived this existence with these beings from the “Dimension of Faery” ever sense and we have laughed and loved. In the interim they have taught me the real meaning of my existence here on earth. I am to share a love with all others that will take it at face value. This love is unconditional and it is meant for those that recognize the love within themselves, and in this the love within all of the Humankind. The Faery and all of the dimensions that surround Humankind have pledged to grow together in harmony and we as the collective consciousness will change the world forever. There is no more room in this Universe for doubt, hate, fear, greed or power. We are all a small part of this “Creator of All Things” and his messengers.  My book is built on my personal spiritual growth and it can be used as a doorway for all of those who wish to follow the path of light to the greatest gift of all. I have been asked to awaken as many souls as possible in a very short period and to share the love beyond the light.
