Understanding

If you are observant enough of what is going on not only inside of you but around you in other people and places in your life you can reach higher and higher levels of understanding.

But, of course this is always a choice and sometimes when people experience traumatic events of one kind or another this might prevent them in some ways of moving forward and so they die either physically or in some ways mentally also.

However, when I was studying Anthropology in a Cultural Anthropology course I took around 1971 at Palomar College in San Marcos California we were studying about Shaman (the first scientists in Tribes around the world before nations or even farming existed on earth).

The definition (at least then) of a shaman was a man or a woman who had psychologically died and one of the results of a psychological death where the body does not die is to become a shaman. And a Shaman is a person who lives in the world of the living but also in the world of the dead and can sometimes heal people because of this connection to both worlds.

At the time I read this in college I realized that that was what I was from traumatic events in my life.

For example, I had had whooping cough and almost died as an infant or young child between ages 2 and 3. Later I got a concussion while rock climbing at around age 9 and had seizures from falling and hitting my head and getting a concussion from ages 10 to 15 at night. Every seizure was a lot like being murdered in my dreams and then waking up shaking in shock about an hour or two later. This was a horrific experience to have ongoing during this time and I remember wondering why God was trying to kill me. However, over time I realized this wasn't what was happening. Instead I realized that God had created me very gifted in many ways and so he needed me to be safe around other human beings. So, almost killing me allowed me to beg God to come live in my Body with me and then he did and this changed me ever after to being more like someone who is more like a prophet out of the Bible than anything else.

So, once God and I were living in my body everything changed including my appearance at age 15. Girls started falling in love with me after God came into my Body to live with me here. This was a lot to get used to too. Also, my seizures instantly stopped when God moved into my body too and never returned after that not even once. So, my whole life completely changed when I invited God to come live in my body and I have been different ever since in a Good way.
