I was talking to my daughter this week

 She has wanted me to publish what I have written over the last 45 years (at least some of it) where it is edited and more presentable than what I have shared already.

Mostly when I have written it was not in a style that I ever intended to publish for other people. When I developed this writing style sort of suddenly in 1980 it was meant to heal the traumas of my life and it did in many ways successfully.

However, then in 1998 and 1999 while I believed I might be dying from a heart virus I was preparing to die and realized that a human soul is much more than I realized before in that it exists in a place (beyond time and beyond space). Though it can exist in time and space while wearing a human body here on earth most of the time it isn't resident in time and space (at least time and space as we as human beings know it).

As we started to go through Chapter 1 in a more final edit I realized how specialized the belief system that I was raised in is and was in the way I write about things. However, I also realized just how helpful this belief system might be for many on the path towards enlightenment right now too.

So, I can see how publishing in a more perfect edited and compiled way might be helpful to many. As my daughter asked me questions about what I was referring to I realized that she had not been raised directly in the same exact belief system that I was. On an intellectual level this made sense to me.

However, I find I often expect too much of people in that I often expect them to understand what I mean even though most people on earth right now likely were born since 1980 (in other words 45 or younger at this point in time).

Because I have noticed even in my own life how many people start dying in their 40s and 50s. And even my best friend from church that I met in 1954 when I was 6 passed away at only 62 years of age. My father passed away at age 69. My best friend from Junior High and High school passed away in 2011 and he was only a year older than I was in Junior High and High School.

So, living to 76 now I find isn't what everyone is able to do by a long shot. So many people die at literally any age from anything from disease to childbirth to car or motorcycle accidents, plane crashes, train crashes or you name it.

However, I realized more than ever how helpful what I write might be to so many people, especially people who grew up in California.

I was always raised to be a mystic. What does that mean?

It means: "God is where you find him, her, the being."

So, I also believe in progressive revelation in every single moment.

Often I will go to sleep saying to myself quietly in my head "God is here! God is here! God is here!" which is true everywhere in the Universe simply because God is ALWAYS everywhere and every when in each and every moment.

So, saying: "God is here!" is simply a statement of fact no matter where you are at that moment in your life.

However, I feel at peace in the hands of God whenever I do this and slip away into my Dreams of God and Angels for the night and wake up refreshed and reborn every morning in God's Image.

By God's Grace
