Spiritualism and Near Death Experiences<br />

Suddenly they knew how simple the truth really is, and how they<br />

could find indescribable joy and bliss in selfless service to All life.<br />

The following account of my life is the story of my quest for wisdom<br />

and truth. I call it a " <strong>Gnostic</strong> childhood," because I believe that we<br />

are eternal children of God and because my life has always been<br />

lived in an intuitive sense. Having been a "rebel" since birth and an<br />

outcast almost as long, I think that there are quite a few people who<br />

could find my story interesting and perhaps even helpful. Especially<br />

since my present incarnation came about in a very desperate and<br />

horrible time and place and took me almost purposefully into realms<br />

and directions no one could have ever imagined at the time. Even<br />

though, someone did, an old lady in the back of a store, a 'fortune<br />

teller,' told me at the tender age of fourteen, that I would be going<br />

overseas and marry an 'exotic woman,' and that I would have two<br />

children, a boy and a girl, and eventually be wealthy. Well, I did go<br />

overseas and marry an exotic woman. A Colored or 'African-<br />

American' woman and had a son with her. But the marriage didn't<br />

last more than two years. I also had a daughter when I married<br />

again a not so exotic woman of Irish, Russian and French descent in<br />

1978. Unfortunately the part of the prediction about being rich did<br />

definitely not come true. As a matter of fact, I have always had<br />

barely enough to just get by, but have never been rich even in the<br />

most imaginative sense. The only explanation for this false<br />

prediction could be that by the standards we lived in in Germany at<br />

the time of the prediction, my standard of life here in the United<br />

States could be viewed as 'wealthy.'<br />

Nevertheless, I have always felt guided and protected, even under<br />

the most desperate circumstances and adventures. Perhaps it is my<br />

intuitive life-style and my often 'naive' honesty and faith in spiritual<br />

guides and their guidance which often 'miraculously' led me through<br />

even the most ugly and dangerous paths and experiences without a<br />

scratch. Often doors were opened to me as if by miracle and forces<br />

would move circumstances in my behalf almost forcing me to go in<br />

directions which contemplated 'rationally' would have scared me to<br />

death, as I'm not really a brave soul by nature.<br />

Most people who knew me as a child, young man, and even now,<br />

either hate me or love me. They saw me as very innocent and pure,<br />

as a naive, idealistic child and young man even though I was in my<br />

own opinion far from it. Yet I understand why they felt this way,<br />

because in a dualistic sense of self perception I saw myself in the<br />

same light, although I also knew that it wasn't really true. Or was it?<br />
