direction

It was an ordinary San Francisco day in the summer of 2003 when my life was changed forever. Serenity emanated through me. I felt I’d been taken. Taken from my life and transported to a place of purpose. I felt weightless and no longer defined by the physical. I transcended from the impertinent structure of the body to an indefinable, ethereal, nonphysical construct.
And then there was a voice – a benevolent voice. “Will you give your life for peace?” It resonated through every cell. I stood motionless in the hallway of our house. I became instantly aware that peace was coming and that, in time, it was my purpose to decipher and deliver this message. To the world. I was calm; I was in the face of eternity and had no fear, no attachment. I paused. I did not have to decide. The answer was part of me, like my skin. I knew I no longer lived for myself. My existence had irrevocably altered.
Given divine direction, I began to write messages. Since that day of transcendence – August 4, 2003 – I have written every day, without exception.
The messages flow from the molecular – not the cognitive – level. The words and the ideas are vibrational, like a rhythmic song. As I write, I believe I am communicating for a higher source. I see myself as a conduit and, in this, my task is to synthesize these messages of peace.
Within the writings there lies an opportunity for one to affect their own consciousness in a positive light and, in turn, to extend that positive change to another, and to continue this process until we are seen and felt as a vibration that will manifest itself in a world of good and in a condition of peace.
The message of universal equanimity holds the meaning of life for me. Connecting to the divine and writing these messages of peace bring me meaning and purpose.
I hope the following passage brings meaning to you and moves you toward peacefulness and your own expression, helps you give light to the world where you are now.
Brilliant opportunity for awareness from the Light is available and discernible in this time. Your whole physical self will have allowance for the new and the pure.
Clear your doubt, as it relates to the fear that is no longer in accordance with your system. Visualize. All that is needed is here. To resolve with simplicity is available to you. Take hold and believe. You are where you are needed, and in the order, which we bring, you are in harmony.
Anything is possible.
I shed these human obstacles.
I am clear. I am truth.
