This is a map of a journey you may take and make your own. It will cost nothing but your own time, and the benefit is for all eternity. It is built around the journey I made, and those others who have shared their own personal journey with me. If you find this worthwhile, please share with us.
Inevitably the journeys here reflect where each started. The journey for a Christian must be different to that for a Jew, or a Buddhist, or a Muslim. But all can journey to find the answers. You only need to start.
What started it for me? Well, like many before me, it was stress. In this case, business stress. But I also recognized I had neglected my spiritual development for many years. I was facing a meltdown. I would have to fire a number of members of staff, all of whom are very dear to me. I was not sleeping at nights. I would always wake with stomach cramps. For some unknown reason, I appealed to my mother to help me. She had been dead some five years.
The cramps always subsided, and I was able to get a few hours sleep, until I would wake with cramps again. I thought about this, and decided it was not my mother's doing. So who was it? Only one answer. So I prayed with all my heart to God, to not just resolve my business problems, but to solve the problem of my spiritual life. I had been a lapsed Catholic for many years, and I wanted to know where to go to find God. Intuitively I did not want to go back to Catholicism, but equally I did not much want to go anywhere else either.
Having prayed I had a feeling I needed to pay attention. In hindsight it would be correct to say I was receiving guidance. Suddenly business prospects that had been dormant started getting serious, and business was looking like survival was quite possible. Then a book arrived on the dining room table. I KNEW I had to read it. Don't ask how I knew this, but I was more certain of this that anything I have ever thought about. The book was "The Mediums Guide" by Allan Kardec. I asked my wife if I might read it, and I devoured EVERY WORD. Didn't like it in parts, but I was determined to read every word. Somehow I felt that Truth lay in that book. Well I finished it, and realized that Truth was not in that book, but suddenly I did know, that Truth existed. For the first time in my life I realized that spirits can communicate, and that some of them have great knowledge and wisdom. I simply had to find it. Again I have no doubt this was guidance.
…I knew I would find the answer on the Internet. So I started searching. As I did not know what to look for, I decided to search chronologically from the time of Allan Kardec -
1860. I had a lot of fun with my three month search, till I found Truths. Even there, I was like a moth around a candle, not sure if I liked it. All those silly messages from Kings and Queens and emperors. Then I found a message from Jesus. It said "Pray for the Love, and you will FEEL it."
I thought, what could be easier. It took three weeks, before I felt it, and boy did I feel it. It felt like a heart attack. But I could turn it on and off. With that discovery, I was confident what Padgett had to say was worth reading. So I read it all. And it made SO much sense.
