What I have noticed about Mt. Shasta in the 74 years that I have been visiting or living there?

 The first time I was taken to Mt. Shasta was from Seattle where I was born by my parents when I was a few months old. There I was blessed by Mrs. Ballard who was in Charge of the Saint Germain Foundation that my parents at that time were members of. This would be some time in 1948 in the city of Mt. Shasta likely before the Saint Germain Foundation purchased the Amphitheater grounds in Mt. Shasta City or the Shasta Springs conference Ground in between Mt. Shasta city and Dunsmuir on the Sacramento River side of Interstate 5.

But, even though I lived in the Saint Germain Foundation religion with my parents from 1948 to 1969 when I was 21 and moved away from the organization to do my own thing, I still never abandoned Saint Germain or Jesus or my Connection to Mt. Shasta.

What I would like to say about MT. Shasta is it is maybe the most Amazing Spiritual Place I have ever been in California, Oregon or Washington. For example Yosemite is where I met God at age 15 while being there with my best friend when his mother and sister got sick and told us to go hike and swim in the Merced River so we climbed up to Vernal Falls and California Nevada Falls and Yosemite Falls and jumped off the bridges into the river then in 1963 and at night watched the Firefall off of Glacier Point high above us while we were camping near the river nearer to Camp Curry then.

But, the point of this article is about Mt. Shasta which is one of the most amazing places I have ever been on earth if you get close to the mountain.

What is "Getting close to the mountain"?

I would say driving up to Bunny Flat or Panther Meadows or Panther Springs or even to the top of the paved road where the old Ski Bowl was until the 1970s, or going to Castle Lake across from Mt. Shasta and just being quiet any of these places is going to show you what I'm talking about here.

The Wilderness experience in the Mt. Shasta area is unbelievable especially all night and all day wherever you are.

However, the weather can change in a moment from a sunny day to a blizzard even in August when you are above about 5000 or 6000 feet on the mountain. So, always be prepared for bad weather any time of year so you survive your amazing encounters with Mt. Shasta

What you will experience if you quiet yourself enough is beyond anything else I have ever experienced in the Western United States. But, it's also important for you to know I met God first in Yosemite National Park when I was 15 years old. So, going to Yosemite is also an amazing experience too.

However, the problem for me sometimes is the amount of people there always is in Yosemite because so many many people come there from all over the world to experience just how amazing Yosemite is.

So, Mt. Shasta especially when it is cold there or snowing is one of the most amazing places on earth because wherever you go there aren't many people when it's cold or snowing too.

So, often the most amazing experiences on Mt. Shasta are in the snowy season which can stretch depending upon the year and climate change from year to year now.

So, always be prepared for anything in the vicinity of Mt. Shasta because I have seen both hail and snow even in August coming down above 6000 feet in elevation. So, be prepared for anything always around MT. Shasta too both physically and spiritually.

By God's Grace
