On June 18th, 2004 a spirit of the higher light came to me, and I will never forget that experience for as long as I live; it brought about the most significant and lasting change in my life to date. Around 10:30 PM a noise in the bedroom woke me, and I thought my wife must be coming to bed. I rolled from my right side to my back to make sure, and it surprised me when I didn’t see her. I began to wonder what woke me when a sweet nutty type odor seemed to fill the room, something like the fragrance of Amaretto. That fragrance had wafted past my nose several times during the past couple of weeks in different places throughout our home, and whenever I tried to determine the source, I’d always lose the scent after taking no more than two or three steps away from the immediate area.
I continued to lie on my back as I mulled the nutty fragrance over in my mind, and within a minute or two, without warning I felt a pressure sensation on the center of my lower lip. I focused my all my attention on that manifestation, and the feeling that something was pushing down on my lip did not abate. A thought came to mind: “God is answering my prayers…He’s sent a spirit to me!” You see at the time I had been praying on a regular basis for Divine help to unconditionally love all life, and that is why I felt the way I did!
I decided to go with the flow to see what would happen. I had barely finished that thought when the pressure ever so gently, but insistently increased, and at that point I could discern the feel of fingertips on my lower lip. Simultaneous to that realization I felt my mouth slowly but surely begin to open…yet I felt no fear, only calmness. It’s important at this time to point out why I think I did not feel any fear. When I say my morning and nightly prayers I ask God, His Son, and the Holy Spirit for Their protection. I ask Them to allow only those spirits of the highest light, and those who have my highest and best good in their intent, to communicate with me. I know in my heart that They do give me that protection, and that internal knowing had to be responsible for my calm and wonderment.
I cleared my mind and started to take slow, deep breaths to relax my body as much as possible, and at the conclusion of each breath it felt as though my body lifted a tiny bit off the bed. Each time I felt that lifting sensation I felt my head tilt back a little further, and my mouth opened just a little more. Once my head couldn’t go back any further and my mouth was fully open (my position at that point duplicated that of a person receiving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation), I felt a sensation permeate every inch of my body, sort of like something were sinking into me, and that is when I began to develop a feeling of euphoric ecstasy. Almost simultaneous to that an extremely sensual kind of feeling began to blend in.
I don’t know how long these sensations stayed with me, but they ended when I couldn’t overcome an urge to swallow. The moment I couldn’t resist any longer, the euphoria began to slowly dissipate, and as it did I felt as though my body were melting into the mattress. I can’t remember ever feeling so calm and totally at peace. I have no idea how much time passed when I felt the same initial sensation on my lower lip again, and all I can remember at that point is hoping like heck that I’d be fortunate enough to savor the same incredible sensations one more time. And I did!
Those two happenings left me in a blissful state that continues to this day. I am totally at peace with myself, and whenever I look at a fellow human being, I automatically do it from a completely different and very positive perspective; it doesn’t matter the gender, race, color or creed…I feel a love within me like I’m looking at my brother or sister. I no longer have the prejudicial or judgmental thinking that I sometimes automatically experienced in the past, reactions that I consciously shunned, but could not stop from popping to the forefront of my mind in certain instances, a behavior that I had prayed for Divine help to rid myself of – and it is totally gone!
I shared this event with you because I want to emphasize that I am no one special, and what I experienced I firmly believe can be experienced by anyone who truly wants to, and truly is the key word. Think about this: had I not allowed myself to accept as a reality all the paranormal / spiritual events that I experienced over the years, which I’m certain were the precursor events that led up to this most wondrous happening, I would not have the depth of knowing about the other side that I have today. I would have missed so very much if instead I rationalized all those paranormal / spiritual occurrences away, and it is likely they would have ceased if I did…why? Just like us, spirits lose interest if they do not get a response.
