This is an amazing but true story. I know because it changed my life
with the kind of drama that initiated my life-long journey
"On the Path".

This journey began with an inner discontent with college life that led me from a study in architectural engineering at Ohio State University to a study of the archetypes in the collective conscience (Jung).  My fervent intent to know the "building blocks" for inspired spaces on the outer led me to the building blocks for inspiration on the inner.

"The prayer of desire if not seldom the prelude of the revelation."
- Krishnamurti

In deep meditation and prayer for direction, a dialogue with that "small voice within" began answering my big questions about the deeper meaning of life.  As simple questions were answered, an enthusiasm for more accelerated the process to an understanding of the "golden thread" (core maps of consciousness) weaving the fabric of civility -- "The Masks of God" --  that have always guided the evolutionary ascent of humanity.

This process of "self-talk" culminated with the big question:
"So what do I do now"... which was immediately followed by
a voice of Higher Power as I had never heard, saying"
"ALL THINGS FOLLOW FROM THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE".

Since my study of universal archetypes had brought me to an intellectual understanding of the golden thread of wisdom uniting our core maps of consciousness, this voice of higher conscience was telling me what I already knew at some level.  But what I experienced next took it to the next level.  My back arched as energy shot up my spine from base to crown.  First I flashed through my past like a near-death experience, and then I saw into the future with a kind of "future memory" (knowing) that trumped all aptitude with my soul contract's "can do" attitude.  The sense of bliss, wonder and  bright light immediately passed when ego popped back in to this life review with the thought, "I'm really there".  The consequent sense of falling into outer darkness -- and then letting go of the outer to let light within just BE -- internalized an awareness of a "balance of powers" that the human ego is ultimately accountable to.

This was no ordinary "life-changing" experience.  I began seeing auras around
people and knowing what they were going to say before they said it.
It irritated everyone, of course, but it intrigued me, and I determined to
pursue this path of understanding what I was experiencing.

I was quickly led by curiosity to places where I could get my hands on books dealing with "the mysteries" understood by mystics, seers and spiritual visionaries throughout history.  One of those books was The View Over Atlantis which explained how "geomancers" throughout history have created sacred sites where the geometry of a celestial and terrestrial "interface" nurtured an "inner face" of higher conscience, especially at the solstices of the year when the energy grids were at a repolarization "balance point".

That made a lot of sense to my new-found intelligence, and I soon after
discovered a modern day "mystery school" in California where I was determined
to go for better understanding of my experience and "unpopular" gifts.

To say that this mystery school experience was an exceptional confirmation of
a Higher Power at work in the world is an understatement.  As my roommates
 shared some of their extraordinary mystical experiences between classes, it became
self-evident that there was far more to this world than taught in secular schools.

One naturally becomes open to extraordinary "coincidences" when they become serious about the path to understand the mysteries of Cosmic . The more conscious we become of HOW we are conscious, the process naturally involves and evolves enthusiasm for more of the conscientious common sense that is uncommon. 

This is "The Path" that reflects and perfects a connection
with a Higher Power and Greater Wisdom in Cosmic Love.

It's the same for Net reality in civilization at large as it is for an individual. The Cosmic 
we discern for ourselves is the Cosmic we become. The holy spirit of LOVE-in-action is for-giving, and we can't give what we don't have. That's why discernment is the first gift of the holy spirit.  When we get it, we graduate to public service at a higher level of "synchronicity" in alignment with the cosmic scheme of things.

As I hitch-hiked home through Boulder Colorado, I looked up a friend who had moved there from O.S.U., and I considered moving to live there myself.  One evening I went walking in the neighborhood to get the feel of the community, walking up to a house with "good vibes", music coming out the windows.  Just then, out walked a couple.  I just stood there as they approached, and the guy greeted me with "What's happening?"  In a few words, I told them how I had a vision back at OSU, hitch-hiked out through Yellowstone Park, up to Glacier National Park, out to the West Coast, down to a mystery school at San Jose, back through Lake Tao, "and here I am"!  

Just then, I noticed a God and Country medal pinned to the jeans of the young lady, and with great surprise in my voice, exclaimed how it was not only a Boy Scout medal for God and Country, but also that each Church had a different one, and that this was the one for the Methodist Church!  "Where did you get that", I asked. Glacier National Park, she responded. "On Valley To The Sun Road?"  Yes, she said. "At the foot of a glacier?" She nodded stunned. "WOW!  I lost that while shoe-skiing on the Glacier on the way out.  I got that in Boy Scouts and kept in over my heart in my shirt pocket, wondering at the meaning of God and Country as I went to the mystery school."

In shock for a moment, we just stood there.  When she began removing the medal I stopped her, saying that I would never forget this, and that she would get a lot more out of it.  As she protested, I insisted.  But when I ran into them the next day in downtown Boulder, I shot this picture.  It was far beyond coincidence the first time, and the second time, I got the message that I was supposed to have it back.

Of course, there are no accidents in the universe, unless you believe that everything is mechanistic, pre-ordained and etched-in-stone with a fatalistic mind-set that you can't escape.  Such belief in lock-step order without free-will choice is just as dangerous as the other extreme - no boundaries whatsoever.  Cosmic is, indeed, the "balance of power" (within us) where that conscientious "small voice" of eternal grace and wisdom dwells -- the true home of "God and Country".

May Your Path be Blessed with This "In Spirit" Understanding,

"There is an Indian proverb or axiom that says that everyone is a house with four rooms: a physical, a mental, an emotional and a spiritual.  Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time, but unless we go into every room every day, even if only to keep it aired, we are not a complete person."
