As a boy I read books by Robert Heinlein when I was 10 and after. I liked his scientific based theories in real life regarding potential realities coming in his Science Fiction. I can remember summers on my front lawn looking up at the clouds in the sky and reading Robert Heinlein books like: Have Space Suit Will Travel (which likely was a play on words from Have Gun Will Travel) which was a popular cowboy series then too on TV.
However, there is another factor which is that I always seemed to be more aware of deeper things than most people too. Especially after I started having conversations with Jesus and Saint Germain and Angels I often would know things other people didn't know about before they happened. So, if something bad was happening and I couldn't stop it by any means I simply got out of the way of it even if people died or were injured. I did what I could and then I learned to just get out of the way so I wouldn't die.
As time went on I became aware of more and more things as a young boy maturing into a teenager and eventually into a man over time. Each step of the way brought new hazards and blessings to my life.
I started to learn how important gratitude was in my life and everyone's life and how gratitude brought far more goodness into one's life every day. So, I cultivated my gratitude for everyone in my life that blessed my life.
After I asked God to come live in my body with me at age 15 instead of dying, he came into my life and everything changed a lot. My whole appearance changed at this point and I got my broken front teeth capped and I became tall and handsome and girls started falling in love with me. This is both a good and a bad thing as you can imagine because they would project their fantasies on me. However, I'm just another human being and though I could be who they wanted me to be for a day or a weekend or longer, eventually I have to be the human being that I am just like the rest of you. I can't live in someone's fantasy forever.
I might be able to live in my own fantasy or reality but I really cannot live in someone else's fantasy forever.
So, life has always surprised me and in some ways entertained me too. I was always adventurous and looking for adventures in life and often I found these adventures and sometimes they were good and sometimes bad but somehow I always survived my adventures.
I consider myself very lucky to have survived all the things that I have survived so well that I am still alive and well at age 76.

Here is some information about Robert Heinlein who was my favorite author from about age 10 on. I think the most interesting book he wrote was much later though called: "Stranger in a Strange Land" which reminded me as time went on of how people thought more during the late 1960s and early 1970s a lot.
