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.
