Because of this initiation and because I had whooping cough at age 2 and because I almost died from a concussion from ages 10 to 15 and because I invoked God to come into my body then at age 15 and he did and I haven't had a seizure ever since is likely why I tend to be a lot like Lazarus in the Bible who keeps coming back from Near Death experiences because both God and all the Buddhas of the ten directions and the three times want me alive as long as possible here on earth to help all of you.
Note: The ten directions are a way when soul traveling to navigate in space beyond the earth or on the earth and the three times are the past, present and future. This is often said in Tibetan Buddhist prayers at the end instead of AMEN like you see in Christian prayers.
The ending goes something like this:"May I become like all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Ten Directions and Three Times not one being left behind!"
By God's Grace
