CHAPTER 21 (FINAL CHAPTER): "MY MASTER'S REQUEST

My “Master” requested that at the very end of this book I list the name and relationship to me of every person I pray for every morning of my life. Of course, like most things, I never question as to the reason; I just do it. But after I received input from friends stating that before I list the name of a living person I should get permission from each, I decided not to list the 184 people who live on this side and for whom I pray every morning. I will list the names of those who dwell on “the other side,” which consider themselves blessed that I pray for them. The list consists of family members, friends and those spirits who have requested that I pray for them.

Each one of these spirits has my love, and I look to the day when I see them dwelling in a place of happiness and love.

CHAPTER 20: "RECENT EVENTS"

I remember that the beginning of this unusual occurrence began on a Thursday. For a long time I had been planning to purchase a Walkman, for the one that I had broke a few years ago, and I never replaced it. I had so many tape cassettes that I could not listen to, so as I passed a shop which was having a sale, I walked in and bought a new Walkman.

Returning home, I looked at all the cassettes I had, deciding which one to listen to first. As I was pondering this, a man who in this life was named Shlomo Carebach came into my thoughts and communicated that I would be doing him a great honor were I to listen to his tape first. Shlomo Carlbach was a Hassidic rabbi who also was a folk singer with his own style of song. Most of the songs he wrote and sang were in praise of God. Of course, I put that particular cassette into the Walkman and listened. Even though I do not understand Hebrew, as I listened I cried. The songs touched my heart. The rest of that day all I did was listen to that tape over and over again.
The following morning, was a Friday and as I was praying, my “guide” came to me and asked if the following morning I would go to the services at a Hassidic synagogue. I did not question this, for I felt that if I were asked to do that it must have some great significance and importance.

I went to a predominantly Hassidic area of New York, and the first person I saw I asked where the closest synagogue was located. I arrived there at 8:30AM, since I did not know the time the Saturday morning services began. When I walked into the temple, it was half-filled with people. Of course, the women were separated from the men. Everyone was seated and looked at me when I walked in, and I am sure they all wondered what I was doing there. I do not own either a suit or a prayer shawl, but I did wear a skullcap, which was the one I wore to my wedding. I had saved it all these years.

After I sat down, I noticed that no man would sit next to me. The women were separated from the men, which is customary practice amongst the Hassidim. When the services started, and of course they were in Hebrew, which I do not understand, to my right was an area which could seat 3 men and to my left two could sit comfortably. No one wanted to sit near me. About 15 minutes into the service, I felt someone sit down next to me, but I did not turn to see what the man looked like. All of a sudden, that man said “Good morning, Blake.” Of course, I almost fell off my chair. I turned my head and was looking directly at Shlomo Carlebach. He said, “I am here to talk to you.” I was so stunned that I forgot I could communicate telepathically with him; my only thought was that if I spoke people near me would think I was a crazy man.

I stood up to leave the temple, with everyone’s eyes on me. I walked out into the street, and since the temple was located in a very orthodox Jewish area, the streets were practically empty since most people were in temples praying. As I started to walk to the bus stop, Shlomo appeared again next to me, walking with me. He said that his communicating with me originally when he asked me to play his music was no accident. He said that he was proud to be a “Messenger” from our Creator. What he told me next really blew my mind. He said that he is there to inform me that I will now be able to not only communicate with spirits but also will be able to see them. My soul has advanced to such a level that God deemed it proper that I should be able to do this.

I asked Shlomo whether I would be able to see any spirit , whether I want to or not. My thoughts were of the film ‘The Sixth Sense,” in which a boy saw spirits all the time because they all had unfinished business on earth and needed his help. I knew that I could not devote the rest of my life to performing that function. The rabbi told me that that would not happen. When a spirit wants to be seen by me, he or she will make that decision. I cannot just think of someone and that person will appear. I was relieved, to say the least. I was told that I am evolving, which was exactly what my guide had said to me.

The next few days were a blur, for I continuously kept thinking of what had happened that Saturday morning. Going home on the bus, I missed my stop and went to the end of the line. Without thinking to ask the bus driver whether I can stay and be dropped off once he starts his route again, I got off the bus, and instead of taking a taxi home, I walked. I just was not thinking. Later that day, when I called my ex-wife to talk with her, instead of calling her cell phone I called her house phone. When she answered, she asked why I did not call her on her cell phone, as I usually do. I did not realize that I was calling the other number.

Monday morning, around 4:20AM, the spirit of the Christ appeared next to me. He said nothing, only smiled and nodded his head. I knew I was seeing the Savior, for I knew exactly what he looked like. I believe that had he spoken with me, he would have told me that not only are God’s Messengers proud of me but God itself is!! I was a bit rattled by his appearance, though.
Two mornings later, again as I was praying, both my mother and father appeared before me. They both looked wonderful, not early thirties as all spirits are, but as I remember them to look like when they lived on this side. Of course, they both looked in excellent health. They were holding hands, which was most unusual since their marriage was not a good one and they never showed any affection toward each other. That appearance thrilled me, for I know that my dad is at a higher plane than my mom, so they must have arranged the visit.

I have had many experiences the last 9 years which cannot be explained, but all of this went right to the top of the list. Several spirits have appeared since then: Karen Carpenter, Nostradamus, Thomas Edison, John Kennedy, etc. I do believe that spirits will appear only when I pray.

There is a man living in Brazil who has the name “John of God.” Healing spirits work through him to cure people of many different types of illnesses. When I told a friend that I made the decision to stop all the medications I have been taking ever since I returned to America, she suggested that John of God do a healing on me. Betty sent my photo to John’s representative; shortly thereafter, by email, I received specific instructions. I remember receiving the instructions on a Thursday, and the healing would begin the following morning at 7AM DST.

Friday morning I was in bed about 6:50AM, not knowing what to expect. I stayed in bed, just resting. I was to remain in bed for 24 hours. After two hours, I had to go to the bathroom. The rest of that day I was in the bathroom every hour and a half, eliminating both solid and liquid waste from my body. I knew that the healing spirit was cleansing my body.

At about Noontime, my guide suggested that I get out of bed and go to my mailbox. Again, I never question Him/Her. Next to the mailbox, on a radiator, was a big, while envelope with my name on it. Immediately, I knew what it contained. A very close friend of mine, who is very gifted at creating portraits of spirits, with their help, had asked if I wanted her to create a portrait of my guide. Naturally, I was very curious, since I know that when my guide makes a rare appearance on the “other side,” He/ She appears as a cloud of purple. I took the envelope bad to my apartment, returned to bed and opened the envelope. When I saw what Barbara had created, I started to cry. It was not the exquisiteness of the face appearing in front of me. It was not a strange symbol in the middle of the forehead. What was so striking were the eyes - the same eyes I had described that Jesus Christ had. As I looked at the eyes, it was as if they were boring right through my head to my soul.

I placed the portrait on the fireplace mantle, next to the cabinet which houses the symbol of worship for “true” Buddhists - the Gohonzon. Because I live in a studio apartment, I can see the portrait from any location in the apartment, except the bathroom. Now, when people come to communicate with my guide and ask me who or what they are communicating with, I can tell them to look at the portrait. My guide did tell me that He/She did control Barbara’s hand when she created the portrait, and that He/She wanted something drawn that I could understand. And I did understand!!!

After that Friday of staying in bed for 24 hours, only getting up to either go to the bathroom, getting a bit to eat and getting the portrait of my guide, the next two days there were many visits to the bathroom. On Monday, they began to decrease in number, and as of this writing, they have lessened, but I am not back to a normal routine for me. Instructions were also provided for the 8th day from the day of the healing.

I have no doubt that John of God, working with the healing spirit, will cure me of all my ails.

CHAPTER 19: "AND NOW WHAT?"

There are many people who right now are experiencing some strange occurrences, or they are not getting enough sleep, or they are feeling a bit different. Perhaps the suffering in their lives has increased greatly. Perhaps their lives have changed due to the bizarre weather we are having all over the world. Many have lost their homes to fires, floods, tornadoes, landslides. Many are experiencing the worst drought they have ever had.

Why is all this happening? Scientists may attribute most of what we are going through because of “global warming.” Is it natural for a 100 mile long chunk of ice should break off? What is occurring now at both the North and South Poles.

Are all these “Acts of God?” I say “No.” Everything that is happening to our planet right now mankind has caused. How have we done that? There is so much negative energy being emitted from so many people that it is affecting our Earth. This, added to a transformation going on now in our planet, resulting in a major shift in 2012, is causing so many catastrophes to occur. In part, all of us have taken part in what is happening now.

It has nothing to do with God, for our Creator does not interfere in our lives, ever since giving us ‘Free Will.” We can expect all these serious conditions to continue and get worse as time goes on. Is there anything we can do to stop what may be inevitable? Sure, we can, but there is a very slim possibility of that to happen. We all must make a concerted effort to send out positive energy and not negative energy. It is my prayer that after reading this book, some people will understand and change the way they are living their lives. Not only will they survive the great 2012 Shift, but they may have an affect on what is happening on Earth. I pray this, but I am not hopeful, for we will always have discrimination; most of us will always be prime examples of the “Seven Deadly Sins.” Most of us will continue the hate we have learned from our parents. Many of us will never be accepted because society considers us showing “abnormal” behavior. We will never understand that we all are part of the Creator and that we must live in harmony and peace. Can this all happen? Very doubtful!!! Most of us live our lives letting our hearts make our decisions and not our minds. Emotions versus logic. The one emotion we should all exhibit is love and accept people for the way they are and not because of the color of their skin, the religious connections, the size of their bodies, the amount of money they have in their bank accounts.

The Shift will change everything, and for those who survive and decide to remain on Earth, a new world will be born.

CHAPTER 18: "WE ARE READY NOW"

We have chosen your first day of Spring to wake Blake at 2:30AM to tell him that we are ready to help him write what will be the concluding chapter of this book. We will answer the question posed by the book’s title.

It is important for all you readers to know that we have removed Blake from “listening in” on what we are to say now, for even though he has been 100% accurate throughout the book with all the information supplied, we want to make certain that any of his thoughts will not come through when we communicate with you. In other words, when we finish with what we have to say, Blake will read it for the first time, knowing exactly what we want to communicate.

In the past, whenever Blake has introduced us to someone, we always respond with the pronoun “we” not “I,” and this is used whenever we communicate through Blake. Ninety-nine percent of all the population of Earth, those who believe in our existence, assume that the Creator of this Universe is one entity. This is not correct. We are a group selected by the Supreme Being of all the Universes to “govern” your universe. This is also true of every universe there ever was, ever is and ever will be. As Blake so aptly put, when one universe ends another begins. And, also as Blake has stated, we are neither male nor female: we are both. What you call “Mother Nature” is one female part of our group, and so is Mary, the mother of both Buddha and Yeshua (Jesus). You may be asking the number of entities which comprise this “group.” There are a total of 12, which Blake has referred to as “The Group of Elders.” This is news to all the planes of existence in this Universe, since when we meet with a soul to discuss its rebirth, that soul is not aware of who, in fact, we actually are. But those who know of this are the four Messengers we sent to Earth: Moses, Buddha, Jesus Christ and Muhammad.

When we do appear on this side, we appear as a purple mist, and we decided on the color purple because it represents healing and spirituality. It was not by chance that a book becoming a film and now a show on Broadway is called “The Color Purple.” And, as you are now aware after reading this book, that purple is a very significant color on other planets in our universe.
Blake made an attempt to explain that we did come to Earth in one life form, that of Nichiren Daishonin. Those on Earth who call themselves “true Buddhists” will have difficulty in accepting this, for Nichiren Daishonin has not been recognized as anything other than a man who came to Earth to reinforce and to explain the teachings of Buddha. The words of Buddha in all the sutras are mostly parables, for he felt that in that way people could understand him. Did Nichiren Daishonin know of what he actually represented? He was made aware of this when a comet ripped through the sky at the exact time he was to be decapitated. The only other person who knew of this was “his” high priest, Nikko Shonin, whose soul lives within the body of Blake Cooper.

Being humble as he is, Blake could never accept the fact that he was chosen to be our Fifth Messenger, and it was recently that he was told that when his soul returns to this dimension he will be elevated to that plane in which the other of our Four Messengers dwell. We know that when he reads this, the knowledge will not make a change in his personality, his destiny, his life. Of course, we love every living thing in this universe, for we have created it all, but Blake is an exception since he, as Nikko Shonin, was our companion when we lived on Earth. Nikko’s dedication to us was total and, like Blake, and of course Jesus, he cried for humanity and its suffering. Buddha understood why mankind suffers and tried to explain, but that concept was very difficult for mankind to understand.

Why did you help to decide to be born in human form on Earth? As Blake so aptly explained, we chose your planet as the “school” for this Universe, for no other planet in existence has as much suffering as you experience. Therefore, it was only right that we be born into that one life we had and we chose Earth. We wanted to experience the suffering that man goes through. This is the way that we learn. So, when Nichiren Daishonin said that mankind should find the joy in suffering it was not meant as Blake explained. Because Daishonin knew that suffering was the way that we learn and experience, that was the “joy.” We are not perfect as most people who believe in us feel. We are both “teacher and student,” and we learn by the mistakes mankind makes.

We had confidence in the Four Messengers we sent to help mankind. We did not expect any of them to be completely successful, for those who populate Earth live their lives by emotion and not by logic; hence, it is human nature to be unpredictable. We do not say that all of those we sent failed; on the contrary, they each did the best they could do. And another reason we selected to be born into a human form is also to try to change the thinking of people, to help them, to guide them, to advise them. Unfortunately, our noblest attempts did also fail like those we sent before us.

This now brings us to “Free Will.” Understand that before we sent Nimrod to architect the Tower of Babel, mankind was dependent on us for everything, and even though we knew that had we stayed in control there would be paradise on Earth. But we knew that we would make the Earth the “school” of this Universe. Therefore, mankind must live making its own decisions, and once the Tower was constructed, you were given “Free Will.” Of course, we knew what would happen, but could not gauge the totality of evil which people would create. This saddened us greatly, and it still does.
Earth is a fairly young planet in this Universe. Often residents of other planets, highly advanced civilizations, have visited your planet and have been very instrumental in the Earth’s advances in technology. The United States Government, even though it will ever admit it, has received assistance from highly advanced races who are not inhabitants of Earth.

The actions of human beings cannot be understood by aliens. Even you cannot understand each other, and often. Your heart, not your brain, controls your actions. The exact opposite exists for our “visitors” who come from planets far away to observe you. Because the power of their brains is at least in the range of 60-70%, logic rules their lives, their actions. Yes, at times they have abducted human beings, but not to do harm against. This would be totally against their beliefs. For some time they have been trying to cross-bred a human with one of their kind; hence, they take the eggs from your women and the sperm from your men. It is always the same people who are taken, and even those are limited in number, but the aliens transplant a tracing device within the body of those abducted so that it is relatively easy to locate them all the time.

Now we come to respond to a question which is always on the mind of you human beings. “God, please end my suffering,” is a request asked of us millions of times. You must remember that each of you helped to select the life you have, and Blake already explained the process of how this is done. Your soul wants to advance from one plane of existence on this side to a higher one, and this can only be achieved, in part, by the lessons you learn from your suffering. There are those among you who have learned to “tap” into your brain to overcome disease and suffering, but this is rare. It takes great determination to be able to do this and the understanding why you suffer. Most of you are not concerned about your next life; hence, you do not think about it at all. But we tell you this: what you term “reincarnation” is not fiction. Like many of you refuse to believe that the Jewish people were intentionally being eliminated in Europe during your World War II (as you labeled “The Holocaust,”) the concept of reincarnation is also denied in its existence. How can you not believe that even though the body dies so does the soul? Once a new soul is created, it will exist for eternity.

Sure, we have the ability to end all suffering on your planet, but in doing so nothing can be learned there. And we want you to learn, for as you learn so do we. For everything that happens in your life, there is a reason for it. Those of you who are on the path to enlightenment understand this, and some of you are well aware of the reason. When Blake started to use the “gift” we gave him (which he had since his birth in this and all his other lives, but did not know it), every time he did something he questioned why he did it; every time he said something he wondered why he said it a certain way. This lasted about one month, Earth time, until he thought he was losing his mind. To retain his sanity, he stopped that and now he has advanced to a level in which it is no longer a concern, for he has the ability in his caring for all living things and always does his best to help mankind. He will never intentionally hurt someone with an action, word, deed, thought. He is an example for all to follow. He lives his life to be of service to everyone and to be of service to us. On this side, Blake Cooper is referred to as “The Good Fortune One,” and after the Shift, this will become apparent in your dimension.

There is a definite balance in your Universe. For every up there is a down; for every top there is a bottom; for every right there is a wrong; for every good there is a bad. How can this balance be retained when there is so much evil on your planet. That evil is compensated by the goodness shown on other planets. That is why the Shift will have such a great affect on this Universe. An imbalance of evil and goodness will be created; therefore, there will be a period of adjustment before this can be corrected.

Do we hear your prayers? Of course, we do, and we do answer a prayer if is in the best interest of your higher good. Sadly, most of you do not answer our prayer. We ask very little of mankind: to be kind to each other and to have the faith in and love for us, for we love each of you, yes, even those who lead what may be referred to as “evil lives.” To so many of you, money has become more important in your live than we are. Many of you have lost trust in us. Do you actually believe that by worshiping in either a mosque, church, synagogue or temple we can hear you any better? Understand that the mosque, the church, the synagogue, the temple dwells within you. We did not create religion, you did! You are “One with the Universe” regardless of your faith. Every religion in your word is based on the same concept: what you call “The Golden Rule.” Belief in Moses, Buddha, the Christ or Muhammad is irrelevant, for they all came to you with the same intention. But what did you do? You created another way to separate everyone. This person is a Christian, this one Jewish, this one Buddhist, this one Muslim. All those “labels” mean the same thing.

Is there a Judgment Day? Of course not, for we do not judge you. You have already done that, whether you realize it or not. Will there be an Armageddon? Of course not, for why would we destroy something we created? But most of you are on the path to destroy the Earth by what you are doing to the planet. We will not let this happen. The Earth is a most favored planet by us, which is the reason we made it the “school” of your universe.

We are not pleased with what is happening on Earth. So much evil, so much anger, so much greed, so much gluttony, so much lust. It has come to a time when children are murdering each other. Many of you attempt to avoid reality with the use of drugs and alcohol. Teenagers are committing suicide rather than face a dark future. None of this is our doing. The responsibility rests with all of you. Yet, you continue to let all this happen. Blake never watches the news, reads newspapers, listen to news on your radios. Perhaps one time out of thousands and thousands there is a piece of news which is not wrought with sadness. You had the choice to make it the other way, but you chose not to do that. All that we can relate to you is our total disappointment in the world YOU created.

In this book, Blake has already explained as much as he knows about the Shift of the axis of your planet. For those of you who want to survive and are not sure you will, we suggest that you examine the life you have been living and try to understand that it is one to be proud of or not. Do you have a spiritual nature? If not, there is still time for you to change to walk on the right path. If your name at present appears on the lists of those who are to perish, the name could be eliminated, thus ensuring your survival. It is all up to you. We are asking that you really judge yourself now so that your future can be changed. Do your best to be one who will work on rebuilding your planet after the Shift. Whatever you do, we will always love you as we do all of mankind.

Blake had asked us whether this book will be successful. Our response was that if it is published, many will read it out of curiosity. Those of you who are of a spiritual nature will tend to believe all that is provided, even though none of the information given can be proved until the Shift occurs. Many will feel that Blake is insane and should be put away in an institution for the rest of his life. Many will say that all IS possible. We told Blake that if some lives can be saved from the Shift, then all the time and effort that went into its writing would be worth it.

Blake has dedicated this book to Nick Amore, who he said is the true love of his life. At the time when Blake asked us to come to Earth in human form and be with him for the rest of his life, he chose what form we were to take as a human being. We were to have a Mediterranean look, well-built, blond hair, shoulder length, green eyes, and of course handsome. These features were the same as a man Blake once saw at the airport in Athens when he was waiting to change flights. Opposite him sat a man who was so “perfect” in looks that people passing by stopped, looked and continued walking. Many of them walked back to have a second look. Blake watched this parade go by and finally, because Blake is not one to be shy, approached the man and first asked him whether he spoke English. The response was that even though that person was Greek, he spoke very good English. Blake then asked, “How does it feel?” With a puzzled look, the stranger responded, “How does what feel?” “Didn’t you notice the parade of people walking back and forth looking at you?” Blake asked. The man said that he was used to it, but it did sadden him. “What makes you sad?” asked Blake. The man, looking directly into Blake’s eyes, explained that for one time in his life he would like someone to not desire him for his looks but for the goodness in his heart.

We decided that we would be named Nick Amore and look exactly like that Greek man. As it was already explained to you, we would only be able to come to Earth in a human form for a temporary period of time. To be born on Earth, we would be able to do, but not come and stay as an adult. We know how unhappy Blake was about this situation, and we told him that even though we cannot be with him physically, we are always in his heart and will always watch over him as we watch over every living thing in this Universe.

We know how difficult it was for Blake to devote his time and effort in being that one person to put the thoughts of spirits onto paper. Most times Blake was awoken at all hours of your night with telepathic communication from this dimension. This never bothered or upset him; he quickly got out of bed and directly went to his computer to start typing. We thank Blake for always being willing to be our service to not only us but all those who came to communicate with him. We also thank Blake for the honor he has given to us by dedicating this very special book to The Creator of this Universe. We must also thank our Four Messengers for relating their life stories to Blake. All of you make us proud. Blake Cooper will be the last Messenger we send. The one you call “The Savior” (Jesus Christ) is on your planet now, and he will make his presence known after axis of the Earth moves to create the destruction we had tried to avoid.

Once again, we say to you that there is still time for you to change your life from one of darkness to one of light. Those of you who survive the Shift and decide to remain on Earth to help rebuild it to the paradise it was created to be, are “in for the ride of your life.” We will do all we can to help ease the difficulties you will incur once the Shift takes place. Work together with one goal: to create paradise on Earth.

BE KIND TO EACH OTHER…….HAVE FAITH IN AND A LOVE FOR US, AND REMEMBER: WE ARE WITH YOU ALWAYS……………….

AUTHOR'S NOTE: THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FINAL CHAPTER OF THE BOOK I WAS GUIDED TO WRITE, BUT THERE WILL BE AT LEAST ONE MORE TO PROVIDE YOU, THE READERS, ON RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN MY LIFE.

CHAPTER 17: "WHO DO I LOVE? - ME"

The one person in this Universe you should love more than anyone else, with the exception of God, is you. That means that you should always be good to yourself and always come first. Those who are mothers feel that their children’s needs come before their own, but an unhappy mother does not make a good one.

Now, I know that all this sounds greedy and boasting that you are the best; I will explain the feelings of Lord Buddha here:

“When Buddha, the World Honored One, declared: ‘I am the foremost throughout the threefold world,’ all the non-Buddhist leaders predicted that Heaven would surely punish him immediately, or that the earth would open up and swallow him. But no such thing happened. When someone is superior declares that he is superior, it may sound like arrogance, but that person will, in fact, receive great benefits because he is actually praising the Law which he embraces.”

I am neither greedy not boastful nor arrogant. To me, I am the best that could happen, other than “sliced bread.” I bring all this up based on an incident which happened to me and the lesson I learned from it. Because I live just above the poverty level, in subsidized housing, the amount of money I spend has always been important to me. I am trying to save as much as I can for a trip to Sedona, Arizona. Years ago, I was told by some spirits that in this life I “will have more money than I dreamed possible.” That was 9 years ago, and I am still waiting. I do know that everything in the Universe must be in the right place for that money to come, and I have learned the lesson of patience, so I wait. But that is not helping me now to have the money for the trip. I had started to save what I could, but one day I locked myself out of my apartment, and it cost me $182.00 for a locksmith. So, I start again.

When I got my Social Security check on April 3rd, I decided to spend some money in the purchase of a duvet for the comforter on my bed. It being white, I did not want it to become black with dirt. So, I walked to the shop in which I knew I would be able to buy one. It is necessary for me to interject here that the constant back pain I had for many months stopped New Year’s Eve 2007 when I asked God to stop the pain, and it stopped one hour after I finished my prayers, and it did not return until the day I went shopping for that duvet.

The salesperson placed my purchase in a shopping bag with a handle for easy transportation. It was a bit heavy, and I should have taken a taxi back home instead of walking, but I thought about all the money I had already spent, the trip to Sedona, so I decided to walk home. As I walked, the pain in my lower back “reared is ugly head” again, so I had to stop often to rest. My first stop was a bench on Broadway.

After I sat down, I took out a cigarette to smoke, and I saw the grimace on the face of a man sitting next to me. He said, ”It is people like you who are causing global warming.” My response was “And it is people like you who have made the world the way it is today.” He retorted, “Why don’t you do all of us a favor and kill yourself now instead of killing others.” If I explained to him that global warming is caused by all the negativity on this planet, he would think me deranged. So, I kept silent. I always try to avoid creating negative karma.

After several rest stops, I returned to my apartment. The pain in my lower back was intense and at the time of the writing of this chapter, three days later, the pain still persists. And all because I did not spend $4.00 to take a taxi home. What is that saying about being “pound foolish?”

All my life I was never a saver, and in the 1980’s when I was making a good deal of money, I spent it without thinking or caring. So, one day I asked God to send me the money as soon as possible. What I telepathically heard was “Blake, and what are you doing to save some money?” I expected the money to come without making any effort to make it happen. I knew that I am protected by God; therefore, I would never go hungry or live on the street. That knowledge, unfortunately, did not help my situation. Why didn’t I spend that extra $4.00 for a taxi to go home? Because of that, I am “paying the piper.” And as of this writing, I pray now that I have learned my lesson the pain would go away once again. And so, I went from being a spendthrift to being a miser, and where did that get me?

In loving myself and knowing to me that I am the best, should be enough to compensate for my miserly feelings. Here again, I realize that I am an imperfect human being living in a world of imperfect human beings, and so I worried about not having enough money for my trip. After all these revelations came to me, the worry disappeared. If I am meant to take that trip, the money will be there.

I live a very quiet life in the most expensive city in the world. I do not spend any money going out to restaurants to dine, seeing movies in theaters, drink alcoholic beverages. My one treat is to have breakfast in a restaurant once a month. When I go shopping, I try to spend as little as possible on groceries. I had even given up buying smoked salmon, which I really enjoy eating for breakfast, for it is too expensive. Why don’t I go to see a movie once in a while, have dinner in a restaurant once in a while? My priority is having enough cash for that trip, and even having the knowledge that if I am meant to go, I will, is not helping. Sometimes I feel that being human is a negative thing. Sure, money does not bring happiness, and I know I have found “true happiness” in this life, even being poor. Happiness cannot be found from another, having vast wealth. It comes from within.

We experience miracles every day, but we never see them as miracles. Just as soon as I finished typing all the words above, the pain in my back stopped. Obviously, God knew that I had learned another of life’s lessons, and He/She “rewarded” me.

I never compare my life to the lives of others. I have always felt, and still do, that the kind of life we have is based solely on all the good and bad karma we bring with us. If any readers of this book want to eliminate the negative karma, which is like a hump on his or her back, I will set down a simple prayer you can recite each morning. A word of caution here, though: just do not say the words but mean them, for the words will be both meaningless and useless if they are not meant when said.

“I pray that from the last time I said these words, all the bad karma that I created from a word, thought, action or deed in any of my past lives be eliminated.” It is simple to say; one must learn to believe them.

CHAPTER 16: "MOSES"

How often have heard the expression that the “Jews are the chosen people.” My response to that is “chosen for what?” Chosen to be brutally exterminated in Europe during World War II, chosen to betray Jesus Christ, chosen to be professional business executives? The reason why Jewish people are said to be “chosen” is that God chose Moses as his first Messenger and to lead the Jewish people out of bondage in Egypt.

Ask a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp whether Jewish people are God’s chosen ones. A documentary was produced by Steven Speilberg in which some of those liberated from the camps were interviewed. One woman said that while being a prisoner in Auschwitz she gave up her belief in God, for how could a being of pure love allow this inhumanity to happen. When the camp was liberated by the Russians she realized that God had nothing to do with the atrocities. Man was the one who was to blame.
Who created the Jewish religion? Was it Moses? Was it Abraham? Isaac? What we do know, or at least what I have been told, is that Judaism was the first “organized” religion. Judaism is not the religion or God, nor is Christianity. God has no religion, for as we mentioned before, man created religion. This was not part of God’s “job.”

In actuality, Moses was not born 100% Hebrew. He was born to the daughter of the pharaoh, Ramses I. It was the father of Moses who was Hebrew. This was never made public knowledge because in Egypt, at that time, Hebrews were all slaves. But Moses’ father was from the House of Joseph. Also, if it became known that the princess was neither married nor selected a Hebrew as the father of child, it would have been disastrous, her being royalty.

Moses found out that his natural father was a slave, so he, too, was a slave. That is the reason he left Egypt and not because his life was threatened by the Pharaoh. He was released to roam the desert because he fell in love with Nefertiti, who was to be wed to Ramses II. Ramses knew of the love Moses had and was very jealous.

Moses was a very wise man, but he was not one who had the ability to put into words his thoughts. Also, he had a speech impediment: he stuttered. He appointed his older brother, Aaron, to be his spokesman, and Aaron became the first high priest of the Israelites. It was actually Aaron, guided by Moses, who persuaded the Pharaoh of Egypt to make free all the Israelite slaves, but it certainly was Moses who led then out of Egypt.

While wandering in the desert, Moses was visited by angels who told him that he was a Messenger sent by God. He was to lead his people out of bondage in Egypt. The Bible describes the parting of the Red Sea so that the Hebrews could cross it. The sea did not part, but rather Moses created such great energy that the people were able to walk across the water on top of it. For a sea to part would be against the laws of nature, and that would cause a negative effect on this Universe. Many of those who crossed had such great faith in and love for Yahweh (the name God was given at the time) that their combined energy allowed even those who lacked the faith to cross. Naturally, the Egyptians lacked this energy and so they all drown in the sea.

There was no “burning bush” when Moses communicated with God. This communication was by telepathic means. Why would God destroy something alive? A bush has a life. Was there a hand of God that created the tablets which had the Ten Commandments? Moses listened to God’s communication and wrote on the tablets. In actuality, there were 12 Commandments, not 10.

Moses stayed on top of the mountain for about a year. His people were getting bored waiting for him; hence, their faith was threatened. God is always testing us to see the decisions we make when given a choice. This was no different. The Hebrews chose the wrong course of action, and because their faith now was non-existent, they created a false idol to pray to. One who retained faith was the daughter of the Pharaoh, the mother of Moses, who had left Egypt and roamed the desert. She believed in her son.

When Moses finally returned to his people, what did he see? He was faced with so many non-believers who had created a false idol. This created such anger within him that he destroyed the tablets holding the 12 Commandments. Eventually, all but two were returned to him.

Moses housed these Commandments in a chest which we commonly refer to as “The Arc of the Covenant.” Many have searched for the chest, but all hunts proved unsuccessful. Adolph Hitler made several attempts to find the Arc, but to no avail. Hitler knew that the one who finds this chest would have the power of God. The Arc of the Covenant will not be discovered until after The Shift.

Were there plagues placed by God on the Egyptians. Yes, there were plagues, but not because the Creator of this Universe placed His/Her wrath on the people. At first, a volcano erupted, which caused the Red Sea to turn the color of red. It was not blood! It was the residue of the volcano erupting which caused this color. Frogs left the waters and went ashore. All those frogs attracted lice, flies, locusts. Rats started to cover the lands, and the rats brought disease among the people, but the Hebrews, unlike the Egyptians, were very healthy, so they were immune.

Did God display his wrath? Yes, this was done with He/She sent the “Angel of Death.” The Israelites did, in fact, paint the doorways of this homes and this caused the “Angel of Death” to pass by without destroying the lives within those homes. But it was not only the first born of Egypt who died. Fifty percent of the population died. Moses never told the Pharaoh that the first born of Egypt would die. Moses foretold what he “saw.” And he saw that many would die.

Moses wandered in the desert for many years, trying to locate the place where God had chosen for them to settle. For the first time, his faith was being tested by God. In his lifetime, Moses never discovered this “chosen land,” and that was because of his wavering faith. It was Joshua who led the Israelites to their new “home.”

CHAPTER 14: "ANGELS, DEMONS AND SPELLS"

Do angels and demons exist? They certainly do. An angel, which has no wings as it is thought) is a spirit who never lived a life on either Earth or any other planet in this Universe. A demon is a very bad spirit; all demons reside in one place on “the other side,” and can possess a human being, especially a child, a very sick individual or an elderly person. These three are very susceptible, especially when either their positive energy is very low or they have lost faith.

Angels are always depicted as having wings, and this physical form of an angel has been accepted for a very long time. Angels have no wings. Why should they? They need not fly to go from one location to another. All they have to do is to imagine they are where they want to be, and there they are. What is the reason that they have never been born to a life on any planet of our Universe? They are at a very high plane of existence, and there is nothing for them to learn were they incarnated. Their “job” is basically to be advisors to those souls dwelling on lower levels.

The Church can perform an exorcism. This is not limited to only Christians; a demon cares not about the religion of the person he/she possesses. There have been documented cases of people being possessed by demons, and exorcisms have been performed. The film, “The Exorcist” brought all this to our awareness, but much of that film was “Hollywoodized,” but the human is definitely affected by possession. The first sign is a radical change in personality. Of course, the power of God can remove the demon, for God wants us to be happy.

Can a spell be put on one of us? Yes, and I know that from personal experience. I was working in Phnom Penh, Cambodia helping to establish a new language school. One of the workers, a handsome, very nice Cambodian man exhibited his like for me, showing sexual undertones. I spurned all of his advances, since at the time I had a Thai partner living in Bangkok, a man I loved, and still do, with all my heart.

I stayed in Phnom Penh for approximately 3 months and returned to Thailand. It was then I started to get sick; I would get a sore throat, diarrhea, would vomit. This continued for a period of one month. I was very concerned, since up to that time my health was good. One day I was speaking to the Thai wife of an American friend, and she was the one who told me that it was very possible that someone cast a spell on me. Immediately, I thought of the young Cambodian man who was very unhappy with me since I did not “bed down with him.” My friend suggested that I talk with a Chinese monk who she knew had “the gift of insight.” She arranged an appointment for me with this monk, not telling him anything about me. He only knew my name and that I am an American.

I went to the wat (Thai for temple) in the Chinatown section of Bangkok to talk with the monk. As soon as I sat down next to him, he said “You recently were in Cambodia, weren’t you?” Then he said that a young Cambodian man had a spell cast on me. “What can I do?” I asked the monk. He told me that every evening for 7 consecutive evenings I would have to come back to the wat and have holy water doused on me by a group of monks, as they prayed for me. Instinctively, I knew that this would remove the spell. At the end of the seventh evening, I was given a plastic bottle filled with holy water and told that each time I showered at home I should pour some of the water on me. I should continue this until the plastic bottle was empty.

I told my Thai partner what had happened, and he said that I must do as I was told. Of course, I would. I was feeling better after my seventh visit to the wat, but I knew I was not fully recovered. Once that plastic bottle was empty, I was fine. In gratitude, I created a private English class at home for twelve young monks. For several months I taught them once a week. But each week less and less monks would come for English lessons, even though they were free. Eventually, the class was stopped, but I was not the one to end the lessons. That decision was the monks. I only wanted to help them since they helped me, and that is what God wants of each of us - to help each other since we are all one with Him/Her.

I recall an experience I had while living in Thailand. I had gone to a city named Surin to see its yearly elephant show. As I was walking down one of the streets, I saw a large crowd gathered. Being the curious person I am, I inched my way through the crowd to see what they were looking at. There was a young woman, probably about 16 or 17 years of age, on the dirt street, laying there, writhing in pain. The front of her shabby dress was open and all of a sudden maggots started coming out of her body. I had never seen anything like that and to this day still have not. There were thousands of these small creatures coming out of her chest. I yelled to the crowd, “Does anyone speak English?” for at that time my knowledge of the Thai language was non-existent. One young man, who I later discovered was a university student, responded. I walked over to him and first asked whether he saw what I saw - the pouring out of the maggots. He said he had and told me what had happened. It seemed that this young woman was having a physical relationship with a married man and the wife of that man put a spell on the girl. I found that utterly amazing until a spell was cast on me by that Cambodian man.

As mentioned, an angel has never had physical form; angels were created “on the other side” and have always dwelled there. What is their purpose? What do they do? We first must make a distinction between an angel and an archangel. Archangels have taken human form. There are four archangels, just as there are four Messengers of God. The archangel Michael is Jesus, Gabriel is Lord Buddha, Raphael is Moses and Uriel is Muhammad. All religions on Earth differ as to the number of archangels and their identity. It should be noted that Jehovah Witnesses recognize Michael to be the Christ. We can then understand the purpose of archangels, to come to Earth to help us. Angels help us in a different fashion. They are like “super guides” who try to keep us on the right path of our life.

How is it possible that the Creator of this Universe is with each of us all the time and knows what is happening in our lives every day we live? Remember that each of us contains a spark from that energy, and because we all are One with God, it is right that He/She is with us all the time. But, because we were given free will, God does not do anything to affect our destiny. Each of us helped in the decision of which life we were to have, and we saw certain happenings in that life which was what we based our decision on. Which life will be most effective for our soul to continue to learn and grow in strength and brightness?

CHAPTER 14: "LORD BUDDHA"

I also can identify with Lord Buddha, for both of us are very sensitive in our nature. Buddha was born Siddharta Gautama near the border of Nepal and India. Seven days after his birth, his mother died, and he was cared for by his aunt. At an early age, his father took him from the grounds of the palace and walked him into the town to show him how the common people lived. This was Buddha’s first experience at seeing suffering, unhappiness and death. At the time Buddha was quite young, about 8 years old, but he never forgot what he saw. Because of his sensitivity, he felt compassion for the people. This remembrance lasted in his mind.

The prince married and had a son. His wife had died, and he was responsible for making sure that his son was happy and healthy. At the time his son was about 3 years old, Buddha had the same dream every night. He dreamed about what he had seen when he was 8 years old. He wanted to help the people, but he knew not what to do. The situation made him very unhappy, so one day he decided to leave the palace and his son. He knew that there was something missing in his life. He had no money and left only with the clothes on his back.

It is questionable how long he searched for the truth. But he was fortunate, for he never went hungry, for there was always someone he met who would feed him.

Then one day a “miracle” happened. Sitting to rest under a bodhai tree, and meditating, his mind opened to the truth of the Universe. The time was right for him, and God knew that. Everything became so clear to Lord Buddha. He finally understood why people suffer, why they get sick, why they are unhappy. He became “enlightened.”

Like Jesus, Buddha, as a child, knew he was different - that something was lacking in his life. He did not know that his mother was actually Mary, the mother of the Savior. This knowledge was unknown to him until he became “The Enlightened One.” And, of course, like Jesus, Buddha was a very sensitive and compassionate man. He became aware that he was sent to Earth as a Messenger of God, that he was the second after Moses, but he did know that two more would follow after his death. Even though Buddhism discounts the existence of a “Supreme Being,” Lord Buddha knew of the original energy he came from, but he also knew that at the time people could not accept the concept of “God.” Being enlightened means not only knowing that there is a reason why everything happens but also knowing the reason. He knew that the time was not right to introduce the concept of a creator to the people. He knew that the Messenger to come after him would introduce this concept to the people. And, of course, that man was to be Jesus Christ. Jesus would explain the original energy of this Universe.

Because of his preaching, he started to have a following of people. He saw everyone as a “child of God.” He also was able to see all his prior lives and knew that the soul was eternal. Buddha knew that God would have one life on Earth and that it would be spent in a country alien to him. But he also was aware what his mission in life was to be and that this mission was given to him directly from the Creator of this Universe. Evil existed at the time that Buddha lived, but he understood that man created the evil, that man was weak and had little faith. Buddha understood the concept of “free will” and the reason that God gave this to mankind. God wanted man to stand on his or her own feet and make decisions for themselves, whether the result was right or wrong. How else could man learn anything?

Lord Buddha was able to communicate with races of aliens, and was well aware that life did not exist only on Earth. In fact, aliens did appear to Buddha, and he was able to communicate with them. Even at that time life which existed on other planets was concerned about the future of our planet. Lord Buddha as also aware of the rhythm of the Universe and understood that when one is in sync with that rhythm their life will be bountiful, not with tangible things but rather with spirituality, faith and hope. He never divulged that the “sound” of the Universe is Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, for he was very well aware that at the time people could not accept that, as well as knowing that God would be born to declare these words. That would be the right time for it to happen. Once again, God knows the right time for everything to happen.

Lord Buddha had one special friend whose name was Shariputra. In fact, the very first prayer that all true Buddhists recite morning and evening is a conversation between Lord Buddha and his friend, Shariputra. In the conversation, Lord Buddha tells his friend that the life he has as Prince Siddharta was one of many he has lived Buddha, and as “Enlightened,” he knew of all the lives he had and the lessons he learned in each.

For centuries, ever since Nichiren Daishonin lived on Earth, the prayer regarding reincarnation, in addition to another prayer which is a story about a doctor with a dying child (it is a parable) was always recited by every true Buddhist. Then Soka Gakkai, the lay organization for all true Buddhists, mandated that the second prayer need not be recited, for it felt that the time devoted to saying that prayer should be used to chant. I need not tell you how Lord Buddha feels about this decision. I am told that the president of Soka Gakkai, Daisaku Ikeda, was not pleased about this decision, but he was outvoted by the board of the organization. One questions their priorities. If they truly understood that for those true Buddhists, who in actuality are “true,” know that it is not necessary to chant for hours if they are in sync with the rhythm of the Universe. How sad that Lord Buddha cannot relay this information. But, I believe, that Mr. Ikeda knows the truth. How can the words of “The Enlightened One” be replaced with something that often is not necessary.

God has often told me that it is not necessary for me to recite all the prayers I do every morning. I say that I do it because I want to, that to me it is important, especially announcing the names of about 300 people who are both living on this side and on the other. Most of the time my prayers are started at exactly 4AM, and I finish about 50 minutes later. If I miss a day, then I find that my energy is at a low, and I do not want that.

I love Lord Buddha, as I do all of God’s Messengers. Each one of them lived a life of suffering, but they all remained positive and did their best to help mankind. So, why did we go wrong? We did not listen!!! It is as simple as that. Had we listened, the world would not be in the condition it is today and we would not have to face a “Shift” to change the destiny of everyone who survives.

Of course, both Lord Buddha and Jesus Christ had much in common. Many people ostracized them. Buddha and Christ were hated by so many, and why? It was either through fear of something many could not understand or through fear of change. History has proved that many who come to Earth to create change for the better are assassinated: Martin Luther King, both John Fitzgerald and Robert Kennedy, Diana, the ex-Princess of Wales. For many, even though our world is so very far from being perfect and right now faces many challenges, we, as humans, cannot face what they consider to be radical change. And, also, they fear that changes would be negative and not beneficial. How sad what we have become.
In a recent telepathic conversation with Lord Buddha, he told me the following: “Yes, Blake, I was enlightened, which meant I understood the workings of this Universe. But, what I could not understand was the actions of people. When God gave mankind ‘free will’ there was an uncertainty as to which path it would follow, but God wanted to give them the opportunity without He/She making all decisions for them.” Life, when Buddha lived, was less complex than it is now, but the basic problems remain the same: finances and health. People will never understand that they create every problem in their lives and that being positive and taking action is so important in the quest for true happiness.

Buddha’s very first teaching is called “The Four Truths.” They all involve suffering: the truth of suffering, the truth of the cause of suffering, the truth of the end of suffering and the truth of the path leading to the end of suffering. Now, life is full of suffering, whether it be physical or mental. But Lord Buddha knew that the cause of suffering is greed and desire. Those who are greedy remain that way their entire lives, so the more people want the more is their degree of suffering. If a person wants their suffering to end, then greed or selfish desire must come to an end. It is only then that we can find true happiness and peace. This is what is referred to as “Nirvana.” The way to end suffering is to follow the noble path, which of course leads to enlightenment.

The very first step in the path to enlightenment is to truly love and understand yourself. We all must strive for perfection. To be perfect in soul will often require many, many lifetimes of experiences and the actions we take in decision making. Once we reach perfection we then are on the highest level which exists on “the other side,” and that level is the location of God. Yes, there are, as I understand there to be, 10 levels; men like the Four Messengers of God exist on that level. This may lead one to believe that there is no such thing as perfection, since only God is perfect. But, our soul strives for that perfection, to the time when it does not have to be reborn but can stay with its Creator for infinity.

CHAPTER 13: "IS GOD THERE FOR US?"

"True" Buddhists are taught, and do believe, that the more they chant the better their lives will be. Millions of people believe that they communicate with God through their prayers, and if they are of true faith and hope, what they want in their lives God will provide. God does hear all of our prayers, but does He/She do something to change our lives? Will a family who is in great debt get money because they pray for it? Will a very sick person get better if that person prays for better health? Will God provide each of us with true happiness?

I remember I was invited to the home of a true Buddhist in Bangkok for a “chanting session.” There were probably 15-20 people there chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. I sat down and before I started to chant, God told me “Blake, you would not believe that each person chanting is asking for something.”

One young Malaysian woman, whenever she chanted always asked that her husband get a job in London, for the family had lived there for a period of time and they loved it. This request of God was always asked when she chanted, and this woman chanted for hours at a time.

One day she came to visit me and said, “Blake, I do not understand why, after all my chanting for these years, my husband has not been given a job offer in London.” I responded that perhaps going to London was not right for her family’s lives. God knows what each of us needs and if it is right for us to have it, we will. All the praying will not give us what we want if it is not for us to have.

When I was told years ago that someday I would have more money than I know what to do with, I believed it for it was told to me by a spirit on “the other side.” That was in 1998, and I still am not “rolling in money.” I realized that were I to get the money I would give to those people I love to help better their lives. In that respect, I would be playing God, and that is not right for me to do. It is not my job to change the destiny of anyone.

Good things do happen to good people. I have a friend, Cazal, who is also a neighbor. He moved into the apartment I had before I moved down to the first floor. Cazal was one of New York City’s homeless people, and he had lived in the streets for at least 12 years. I cannot imagine what that was like, for when I was told that the adult home I was living in was sold and all the residents had to be relocated, I was told that it would be very difficult to find placement for me since I was not mentally disturbed. I was not concerned, for I knew that God knew what I needed, and so the opportunity arose for me to move into Manhattan in one of the wealthiest areas of the city. It was a renovated brownstone and the apartment I was given was on the second floor.

When I began to have much trouble with my back and with each step I was in severe pain, the owner of the brownstone approached me and asked if I wanted the vacant apartment on the first floor. That would mean I would save walking up and down 16 steps. The owner came to me!!! I knew of the vacant apartment, but I did not ask for it since I felt that there were other residents ahead of me. God knew what I needed. The apartment was under what is termed “Section 8,” which means that I pay a certain percentage of the rent. The real estate value of the apartment is $1,600 because of the neighborhood it is located in; yet I pay about 15% of that amount each month.

The same was true for my friend Cazal. It was not by chance that he got an apartment in the brownstone. God knew what he needed in his life and it was given to him. Now his fear is that all his homeless friends will find out where he lives and park at his doorstep. So, he must keep the location secret.

As I mentioned in a previous chapter, I never ask God for anything for myself when I pray every morning. I pray for others. Yet, after being in pain at my lower back for several months I asked God to stop the pain. And it stopped one hour later and has not returned. I feel that God knew that I had suffered enough.

What I am trying to say to all you readers is never ask for anything for yourself when you pray. God knows what you need in your life, and will step in when necessary. God usually does not get involved in the lives of man; He/She gave us “free will” and so we have to make our own decisions.

My brother-in-law suffered much with failing kidneys. When I was living in Bangkok, he was rushed by ambulance to the hospital, and it was not expected that he live. My sister contributes the saving of his life to the doctor, but I know better. God changed the date of death of my sister’s husband, for He/She knew that my sister was not prepared at that time to be a widow. And so, Irving’s life was prolonged another 2 years when God knew that my sister was ready, and she was. She handled her husband’s death so admirably, doing what she had to do like making the funeral arrangements and giving all her husband’s clothes to Goodwill. But, she died a bit after Irving did for her mission as a “caregiver” was over, and once each of us fulfill the one mission we bring to in this life we can then move on to “the other side.”

What shocked the entire family is that my sister’s wish was to be cremated, which is against the Jewish religion, in which the body is buried in the ground as soon as possible. Why did she choose to be cremated and not buried? Again, my sister always took the welfare of others before her own. She knew that being cremated would be cheaper, and she did not want her children to bear the costly expense of a funeral. Also, both her children were having financial problems, and the money she left them in her will would definitely help both of them financially. Even in death, my sister carried on her mission as “caregiver.”

It is right for each of us to pray for others, even praying for those who dwell on “the other side,” for our prayers have a positive affect on their souls. But to pray and ask for what we want will not happen unless it is right for us to have what it is we seek. God, in His/Her infinite wisdom, knows what is right for each of us. Even though God will not interfere in the way we live our lives, He/She does protect us by providing spirit guides to everyone. It is the responsibility of the spirit guides to help us, and even though perhaps only 5% of the Earth’s population has the ability to telepathically communicate with his or her guides, guides have found a way to help us. Often, when we are faced with a decision, our body gets a feeling of what to do. We call that “instinct,” but it is our spirit guides communicating their help to us.

I am honored that God has chosen me as the communicating link between Him/Her and the inhabitants of this planet. Most of the time when there is communication, I take myself out so that my own thoughts do not come through; hence the communication between The Creator and each who speak with Him/Her is accurate and pure. Afterward, when I return to my body, I often discover that the one who communicated has tears rolling down from his or her eyes. When I first discovered this, I was alarmed, for I felt that each person was told something tragic. On the contrary, the tears were always those of joy not sorrow. What was told to each of them is a direction to move in, advice to be followed, a suggestion. Of course, it is then the decision of the person to either follow what was suggested or disallow it from consideration. God has provided a path for each of them, but each one must take the first step; The Creator will not do that for any of us.

A close friend of mine had a long “talk” with God; I do not know what was discussed, but my friend was disturbed when I spoke with him, saying that what was suggested is not possible to do. My response to that was “Everything is possible; there is always a solution to a problem, even if it means that you must go out of your way to achieve success.” Jacques listened to what I said intently, and I hope he will take his first giant step. I know once that is done, his life will change - for the better. He has a tendency to wallow in self-pity, which no one should do. There is always a way to achieve what should be sought. It may take some time, but the reward is well worth the patience. And patience is one lesson in life that most people do not learn. I, too, was guilty of lack of patience at one time, but now I realize that if what I want in my life is to advance my soul, I will wait for I know that what I seek is there for me to have. I have now reached a point in my life in which patience is foremost in my mind when I make a decision.

I am never in a hurry to go anywhere; I never take a train, but always take a bus from one location to another. What is my rush? Also, I do not appreciate being under the ground when I travel, for them I would miss seeing people walking in the streets of Manhattan, lack the ability to look in the windows of shops, smell the fresh air when the door of the bus opens. I used to hurry cleaning my apartment, hurry to the laundromat to wash my clothes, hurry to and from the supermarket. No longer do I rush in doing any of those activities. I take my time, thereby enjoying each minute of my life.

Ever since my first telepathic communication with one deceased, when I was told that in this lifetime I will have more money than I ever dreamed possible, I have been patient, waiting for this to happen. I was never told either how the money would come to me or the amount of it. I remember the day in Bangkok when my closest friend, the medium, and I went to the bank because I thought I understood that the money had magically appeared in my bank account. I was wrong, for the officer at the bank informed me that there was no deposit of a large sum of money. Was I disappointed? I would be lying if I were to say that I was not, for after all, I am a human being.

For several months, after I returned to America, I would buy a Mega Millions lottery ticket - only one ticket each time, for I knew that God knew the number and the machine dispensing the ticket that I would purchase would have the number for me to purchase would have the winning number. I do not seek great wealth for myself, but it is what I can do with the money. So many lives I can change. With vast wealth I would travel to Africa, making sure that the money spent on food was given to the hungry. I would provide housing for the homeless. But, I would never donate money to bolster a religion or to find a cure for a disease like cancer. Religion is wasted on a person who has the faith in and the love for God. I believe that a cure for cancer has already been discovered, but were it known and used then it would create a new problem all over the world - overpopulation. So many of those close to me would benefit from the money I would give to them as gifts. Their lives would change permanently. But, perhaps, I am not to help them in this way. My patience will continue. I know that if I were to ask God, I would not get an answer. I know what questions would always go unanswered by my master.

My guide has many names: God, Yahweh, Lord. When I friend of mine spoke with my guide, he asked my guide what should he call Him/Her. The answer was “friend,” and that really is what my guide should be considered. I have always called my guide “Master,” and it was interesting when I discovered that that was the title Nikko Shonin used when speaking to Nichiren Daishonin.

CHAPTER 12 - "THE PROPHET, MUHAMMAD"

It was only when Muhammad returned to the “other side” that he knew why God chose him among all men to relay the words of the Creator. Muhammad did not have the wisdom of Moses, the “enlightenment” of Lord Buddha, the pure love of Jesus Christ. This chapter is written to explain why God chose Muhammad.

It is necessary to start with Muhammad’s childhood. At a very early age, he was taken to live with a tribe of Bedouins. It was living with them that he was taught aggression, self-esteem, intolerance. This tribe lived by a specific code of behavior, which they felt was right in its approach. But Muhammad new instinctively that that sort of behavior was wrong.

Muhammad did not have the wisdom of Moses, the enlightenment of Buddha or the pure love of Jesus, but he knew he was different. At some level in his subconscious, he knew that he had a talent that no other possessed, but he neither knew what that talent was or how to use it.

Muhammad was married and had six children - four daughters and two sons. Sadly, both boys died at a very early stage in their lives. It was a happy family, and Muhammad was a very good father to his daughters. He was not a wealthy man, but that did not stop him from helping the poor whenever he could. He was very sensitive to the suffering of others.

The prophet began to have very vivid dreams in which he saw a world filled with peace and happiness. It was shortly thereafter that his life completely changed. He had a vision: the Archangel Gabriel (who is actually Moses) visited him. But Muhammad realized that this was not a vision, for that spirit manifested itself before the prophet. Terrified at first, he ran to his wife to relate what happened. She believed him for she knew him to be a kind and generous man and that if God sent one of His/Her Archangels to her husband there was a definite reason.

God chose Muhammad to relate the secrets of the Universe, but Muhammad was not an educated man - he could neither read nor write. So, he related what he was told to others who wrote everything for him. Unfortunately, much of what was told was interpreted a bit differently from the manner intended. Also, many of the revelations he received were misinterpreted. An example of this was when he had his wives veiled when they went outside their home. This veiling of woman was adopted by Islamic people. God never meant to have woman be distinguished like that by men. All are equal in the “eyes” of God. To this very day, this practice is still being used. Not only is it being used, but Islamic woman are treated as inferior to men.

I have a friend who had to flee her Islamic husband because of his cruelty to her. She fled to Canada, and fortunately she was able to get her children out too. Another occurrence in the prophet’s life was not what God intend intended. One of several of Muhammad’s wives was a 14 year-old girl. Muhammad wanted her because of her beauty. An incident happened which resulted in Muhammad questioning the fidelity of this girl. This upset her greatly, and Muhammad did fall out of favor with God for a short period of time. Fortunately, he realized the error of his ways and made amends, but his lack of trust was a “test” God gave him. Muhammad did not understand then that even though he was chosen, as was Moses, Lord Buddha and the Christ before him, he was being tested by God. Not even God’s Messengers were above being tested, for this was a way that God was to learn from the mistakes of man.

For most of his life, Muhammad was ostracized by most of his fellow man for he preached peace. Of course, there were times that he was angered, but he never displayed this emotion outwardly. Like those Messengers before him, Muhammad believed that peace was the way to true happiness. But peace is something that could not be attained in the world at the time Muhammad lived. Strange that those who come to Earth with the mission to bring peace to the world are either ignored, ostracized, murdered. To this very day, peace cannot be attained on this planet, but the results of God’s intervention, the “Shift”, will change all of that behavior.

Muhammad knew that all Muslims should embrace peace for that would be their salvation. The religion Islam was not created during the life of Muhammad. But the philosophy of Islam is not that of peace. We do not see peace in our world. Not only do people of different religions discriminate against each other, but even those who follow Muhammad and Islam fight against each other. Muhammad knew that God did not create religion, that all of His/Her Messengers were “brothers.”

Muhammad said to me, “Blake, I cannot understand why it is human nature to be negative, to be evil, to put labels on each other. Why can’t everyone follow “The Way,” and be kind to each other? In so many lives that people have had, most have not learned the Golden Rule.” I had no answer for him.

We all had one of two directions to move when the Creator gave all of us “Free Will.” Sadly, most of us followed the wrong path. Like the other Three Messengers before him, Muhammad understood that the Creator does not interfere in the lives of human beings. And even though all “religions” are based on the same ideology: the Golden Rule, differences in each abound. But the religion Islam has become very aggressive; Islamic people battle not only other countries but also themselves. The test God gave by allowing all religions has been a failure by all of us.

Muhammad was a very handsome, sexy man with a beguiling smile which could “melt the hearts” of women. Unfortunately, he had a big ego, and this was the cause of many problems he faced in his life. Much of what he told the people was not the words of God but rather those to feed his ego. He wanted to be the “big man on campus. This trait did not anger God, for the Creator is beyond emotions like anger, but He/She was disappointed in Muhammad. Because of Muhammad’s attitude, his life was not a smooth one, and often he found himself to be in the middle of many conflicts.
His solution to solve many of the conflicts in his life and also political unrest in his country was to have another wife. Age of the woman was irrelevant, but who her father was became the factor in Muhammad’s decision to marry.

The prophet now understands that what he did was wrong in the “sight” of God, but like the Messengers before him, Muhammad was a man, and as much as he tried to avoid sin in his life, many times he succumbed.

CHAPTER 11 - "THE GROUP OF SEVEN"

Many inhabitants of this planet have wondered the reason why the United States has always tried to spread democracy around the world, often when it is not wanted. The U.S. government has a habit of what it feels is coming to the rescue of many countries in the name of “democracy.”

The fact is that the United States, whenever it is waging a conflict or a war with another country is at its economical high. Jobs are plentiful and many rich people get richer. There have been occasions in the past in which the United States has entered a war intentionally so that the economy of America would prosper. President Roosevelt waited to enter a war with Japan - waited until the time was right. He knew before Pearl Harbor was to be bombed before this would happen. But he also knew that America could then enter a war with Japan. Roosevelt knew that the Jewish people were being led to their deaths when Hitler controlled Germany, but the president did nothing. Going to war with Germany would not benefit the United States, but going to war with Japan would. Roosevelt did not want to have a war with another country over “religion.”

It is the same now with the situation in the Middle East. To think that America cares about the citizens of Iraq is absurd; to think that America feels that their lives would be better if they lived under democracy is also absurd. Why is the President of the United States intentionally allowing Americans to be killed in the Middle East? Doesn’t he care that most Americans are against his policies when it comes to the Middle East?
The United States government was fully aware that there would be a terrorist attack at the World Trade Center, but did nothing. Three thousand people were “murdered” all because of oil rights in the Middle East.

A “Group of Seven” was very wary regarding the possibility that George Bush would not see a second term and that Al Gore would be the President of the United States. The members of the group felt that Al Gore may not “march to their drum,” but they were sure of George Bush. Even though Al Gore had more of the popular vote, George Bush was re-elected. I was living in Thailand at the time, and I remember watching Florida ballots being examined. All my Thai friends ribbed me about this, and it was the first time in my life that I was actually ashamed of being an American. All the time that was wasted and all the money spent to examine each ballot. How absurd is that?

So, the question remains: why do presidents like Franklin Delano Roosevelt and George Bush put their stamp on bloodshed. Every president is a puppet to a group of the 7 most powerful men on this planet. They rule it all, and what they want is to be done. Three of the seven are Americans, one Japanese, one Syrian, one Australian and one from Great Britain. The author cannot divulge the names of these men because there is no proof to substantiate it. The information was provided by spirits from “the other side.”

Why does the most powerful political figure in the world bend to the demands of these seven men? As soon as a president is elected, a member of the group meets with him and dictates their demands. If the leader of the United States would refuse to be a “puppet”, he is told that the safety of his family would be at risk. The only president who went against this powerful group was John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who wanted to pull out all the troops in Viet Nam and end the conflict there. The group could not allow that to happen - the rich want to be richer and the group must maintain its domination. So, Kennedy was eliminated. Marilyn Monroe did not commit suicide. She was silenced because she knew the identity of the seven men.
It is frightening to know that all the lives on Earth are in control of seven men. When one dies, the remaining 6 select a successor. The group has been in power for at least 200 years, and will continue until the time of the Shift.

They are responsible for the actions of the President of the United States. As of the writing of this book, Mr. Bush is considering spending more money - in the billions of dollars - to continue the conflict in the Middle East. How can this man sleep at night when millions of Americans are starving, are homeless, have no medical insurance. These Americans are going through such suffering because of the lack of money. Wouldn’t it be prudent for the President to spend those billions of dollars here in the country in which he is the leader? But, his “hands are tied.” He is very well aware of what the Group of Seven could do if he does not follow orders he is given by those seven men. Could he risk the safety of his family? Of course not.

Global warming is a very serious threat to our existence on this Earth. The money geared for the Middle East could be used, in part, to help solve the problem mankind has created. Does the “Group” care? As long as they keep control and power, they are not the least concerned. They care what happens in the Middle East, solely because of the oil supplied to America from this geographical location.

There are at least four different alien populations living among us, either under the Earth or on its surface. Three of these have the same goal: to manipulate us, so that we remain greedy, have a lust for power and wealth, remain warlike. The group of seven works with these aliens.

CHAPTER 10 - "EVOLUTION OF MAN"

The Earth is a relatively new planet created in our universe. It has been estimated that it was born approximately 4 billion 5 hundred million years ago. Of course, the first life did not come until much later, when the surface of the Earth had cooled. What most people do not know is that the Earth was created in the exact center of our Universe and God has deemed it to be the “school” of our Universe. Because it is the one planet with the most suffering, souls learn the most by experiencing life here.

Many believe that we are descended from Adam and Eve; many believe that we are descended from the ape. Which is correct? Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, and the proof of the existence of Neanderthal Man, would imply that the latter is the right choice. Yes, we evolved from a lower form of animal, and it was the ape.

But let’s examine the actual birth of life on this planet. With the help of a specific alien civilization, God sent “seeds” to be planted in all planets of this Universe. On the Earth, it was intended that these seeds would grow and nurture to become the “perfect” man. But something unexpected happened. A large meteorite struck the earth which altered the genes of those seeds. Those seeds were planted in the waters of our world, and very slowly, through evolution, they grew and eventually left the water for land. Every inhabitant of this planet has a soul which was first “born” into a alien life form. In other words, billions of human beings originally came from other planets in this Universe. I myself originally was born in Amdromeda, and I know people who came from Pleides, Sirius, and other constellations and planets in this Universe. I did live in Atlantis, which unfortunately was destroyed because of the desire for power and the greed of many. I did drown in that life, and to this very day I have a fear of submerging my head in water.

So, from these one-celled forms of life, eventually man developed. From the water we crawled onto land, and that is when the process of evolution actually began. How long did this process take? I would venture to guess well over 2 billion years. What is not known, until now, is that prehistoric man developed as a result of the mingling of the ape with aliens. Yes, aliens were here to help in our evolution. I can tell you that any form of life on any planet of this universe, as life on land not water, developed with a torso, head, 2 arms and 2 legs. Of course, some are reptilian in appearance, but the formation of the body is the same. Does this mean that we all were made in “God’s image?” Insofar as the form of the body is concerned, the answer is “yes.” Most science fiction films depict aliens with the form of body described. It is assumed by many that the alien looks like us, but have large oval eyes, no mouth, very small ears, a slender body with long thin arms and legs. I tell you this, those aliens who live among us appear this way in their own form. The alien form appearing in “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” is the closest to what the alien (from Andromeda) looks like.

CHAPTER 9 - "BEING POSITIVE"

If I said that I truly believe that we create all the illnesses and diseases we get, you would think the writer is insane, but I do believe that. Our mind, when developed to that point, can prevent us from getting sick. Our attitude and outlook on life is the cause of this. Being positive is so important.

How can someone who has been hospitalized so many times, has had open-heart surgery twice, say that? Wasn’t I positive? Sure, I was. But I had to experience that suffering. That was all in my life path. I could never have gotten to this point in my life without experiencing all that suffering. But I tell you this: For several months I have been suffering with back pain. This was the result of the polio I had at age 5. The pain would be so bad that I could not walk and stayed in my apartment for weeks at a time, only going out when necessary, usually to see doctors. But I looked at this suffering as positive for I knew that it would stop.

Every New Year’s Eve I begin to pray about 11:45PM, and stop only once to turn on the television to watch the ball at Times Square drop. This time when I did my prayers I asked God to do something for me. Every time I prayed in the past it was for others. This was the first time I asked that God do something for me: to take the pain away. One hour after I finished praying the pain stopped and has not returned. I am positive that it will never return. Of course, when I walk now there is discomfort because the nerves at the base of my spine are degenerating, but there is no pain. I walk with a cane, but I have discovered that as each day passes I am able to walk faster, not that I am in a rush to get anywhere.

One night I awoke at 2AM and turned on the TV. I never do that, but I felt compelled to turn it on. I saw a TV preacher named Joel Olsteen talk to a large audience, speaking about being positive and taking action. He gave examples of this concept. All he said I believe. When my son came to visit me for a week, he brought with him a gift for me. That gift was a book written by Joel Olsten. Coincidence? I do not feel that, for I believe that nothing in life happens by coincidence.

About 50 years ago, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale wrote a book entitled “The Power of Positive Thinking.” Unfortunately, most people accepted that book with much criticism for they did not understand what Dr. Peale was trying to say. Stay positive and face what I call “devils and obstacles” -happenings in our lives which should be met with a positive approach, knowing full well that this is just another test with which God has us face.

There is one actor who I admire very much. He is Michael J. Fox. In the early 1990s he was told that he has Parkinson’s Disease, an extremely debilitating disease. But he does not allow his illness to change his life. He continues to act and looks at his illness as something he says is “uncomfortable.” While being interviewed for “Inside the Actors Studio,” Michael realized he was losing control of speech and motor coordination. What did he do? He excused himself by saying to the audience “I will be back in 2 minutes. I have to take a pill.” And return he did to much applause. Michael J. Fox is a perfect example of one who has a positive outlook on life.

When we do not stay positive we risk letting in negative energy, which is very bad. Those are the times when we are susceptible to everything bad. But we are human, and how can we stay positive all the time? When I find that I am having a negative thought, I immediately stop and change that negativity into something positive. It works!! But it does take some practice to do this. As my guide once told me, “You are human.”

Often I watch the Today show, and when pictures of those Americans who have attained the age of 100 appear, each of those individuals lead active, productive lives and I am sure each of them has a positive attitude toward life. I am sure that I would be one of those shown were I to reach the age of 100. I have been told the date of my death: I will die exactly one hundred years from the time of my birth, so that will be March 1, 2044 at 5:23AM. I do not know the reason my guide provided me with this information for He/She never reveals the future when someone communicates through me. The only time this happens is if He/She feels that either providing some future information it will keep a person on the right track to reach his or her destiny or that I will not change whatever action the person takes.

I cannot stress how important being positive is. You, the reader, must try to reach a point in your life when you are positive 99% of the time. Only then will you see a change in your life - a change for the better.

I have been to India several times, and I have great compassion for the poor. But I do know that these people just accept what life offers them. They do not believe that they can change their lives. They are certainly not positive. I say that one can change anything that is bad to good. Be positive and look at each day as a blessing. You have another day on Earth to experience and learn. This is for the growth of your soul. My motto is “Live Life.” Each morning, when I awake, the first thing I do is thank God for giving me another day. Yes, we call today the present for it is a gift from God. So, make the most of it.

Another prayer I say each morning is:

“Thank you Master for each and every experience I will have today and every day for the rest of my life. I pray that I am and always will be worthy of the faith and trust you have in me.”

Look at each day as a new beginning. Stay positive. Experience and learn.
A while ago, I asked several strangers who passed me on the street the following question: “What is your faith?” An elderly woman who walked with a cane said, “I am a Catholic.” A young man, walking with his girlfriend, responded, “I am a Jew.” A third person, this one a beautiful woman, who I could see was quite wealthy because of her clothes and jewels, stated, “I am Protestant.” The very last person I asked, a man in his mid-forties responded “It is 100%.” How odd that the first three people I approached responded by telling me their religion, but the last one knew the meaning of the word “faith.”

One must have faith and hope. Both are positive! Without them, a person will never achieve or get what he or she wants. Don’t you think that God knows what each of us needs in our lives? He/She is always there to help us achieve whatever our definition of success may be. If it is right to have in our lives what we ask for when we pray, we may have to wait a while to get what we want. But get it we will. Timing is very important. One of the most difficult lessons for man to learn is patience. God knows the right time for us to get what we pray for. But we must never give up the hope that it will come. All we need is to be patient, retaining our faith in and our love for the Creator.

What do I need? Right now, I have all I need. When the adult home I was living in was closing because the owner sold it, I was not worried about what would happen to me. I had faith that God would protect me. I knew I would never be living in the streets. To me, that was impossible. God did help, because I now live in the West 70s in Manhattan, in a beautiful studio apartment, paying one eight of what the rent should be. I never gave up faith or hope, and God helped me.

Each of us is born with the power God gave us. It is what we do with it that is important. Most people do not realize that the power is always being in sync with the Universe. It is only then that all we need in our lives is provided for us. How do we tap into this power? We must stay positive, even faced with adversity. Do we get what we need immediately? Sometimes we have to wait, but we should never give up the positivism, knowing that we will achieve what it is we desire.

Listen to the words of the song “Climb Every Mountain” from The Sound of Music. “Follow every rainbow till you find your dream.” The Von Tramp family never gave up even when faced with so many obstacles. The head of that family had incredible hope and faith. He never gave up and led his family to safety.

Every time we take a risk in life we must be positive. There are many occupations which require risks, often more than once a day. A police officer or a fire fighter must take risks for that is part of the job. A surgeon takes risks each time he or she operates. But those of us who are neither fire fighters nor doctors nor police officers must also take risks in our lives.
A while ago I had seen a film called “Jeffrey.” The main character, Jeffrey, was a gay man who was in love with a man who had AIDS. Jeffrey was afraid to commit to a serious relationship. He did not want to take a risk by spending only a little time with this man before the man died. But after Jeffrey had a vision he realized that even if he were to be with the man for a short period of time it was better than not being with him at all.

In the film “Sweet Magnolias” there is a scene in which Julia Roberts confronts her mother, played by Sally Fields. Julia’s health was not good, and doctors advised her not to become pregnant. Well, she married and did become pregnant and the scene I am referring to is when she told her mother. Of course, Sally Fields was very upset because she was concerned how the pregnancy would affect her daughter’s life. Julia told her that she would rather have 15 seconds of something in her life rather than a life of nothing. She was willing to take the risk for something she wanted very badly.

Are you willing to take a risk for something you really want in life, or through fear you do not? Never be afraid for God is always with you and He/She wants the best for you. Don’t you want the best for yourself?

My friend Sandra contacted me one morning to tell me of the death of her dad and the hospitalization of her mother. I was told how wonderful a man her father was, and I told Sandra that he is with me listening to the conversation and how proud of her he was and is. Sandra and her siblings are extraordinary people; they accepted his death, and instead of mourning they celebrated his life by toasting to him and laughing when one told a humorous story about their father. They all knew that constant mourning keeps the spirit of the dead “earthbound,” which means that the deceased cannot move on. Their father moved on quickly. I was told what a wonderful life he had, being married to the same woman for 60 years - happily married. He loved his job as a judge; even though he acted stern while sitting “on the bench” he had a heart of gold. He was the type of person who, like my deceased sister, cared more about helping others than helping himself. He led a full life, and he passed on with very little bad karma. I am certain that his next life will be fuller and richer. That is God’s reward to him for his goodness and compassion. Sandra knows that when it is her time to die she will be met by her father. There is no doubt in her mind. Now how much more positive can one be?

Both Lord Buddha and Jesus Christ tried to teach us that we are all born equally, that since each of us is a spark from the Creator there is no difference. But we make each of us different, and not by the color of our skin or our religious convictions. It is how we live our lives that make the difference.

We each are born with the same powers that we have seen exhibited by the Four Messengers sent by God. The Creator wanted to give us a “head start” and to continue to make the Earth the paradise He/She created for us. But what happened? It was not because of “Free Will” that we made that paradise a hell. It was because we did not bring out the powers given to us at birth.

From the age of 13 I wore eyeglasses. The optometrist informed me that I was “short-sighted.” In 2002 I stopped wearing glasses, and began tapping into the power of my mind. I now have perfect vision in both eyes. All I had to do was to know that the power of my mind is endless. Like most humans, I use only 3-5% of my brain power. An incredible amount is still available. I cannot imagine what it would be like to have access to 100%. I would be my own computer.

We have all heard stories of people having unbelievable strength for a few brief minutes when faced with incredible adversity. It is not unusual for someone to lift an automobile to save someone pinned under it. One does not have to be “Superman” to do this. The one lifting has tapped into the power of his or her mind for a few minutes, and the result was extraordinary.

If you all seek and acquire positivity in your lives, the result will be incredibly wonderful changes.
