About The Author
What is the truth? What makes people tick?
To answer this question for myself, I decided to study Journalism at the University of Western Ontario in Canada. I wanted to learn how to “get the facts.” Unfortunately, I found out that “the facts” were manipulated to suit the powers that be and had nothing to do with the truth. Perhaps by studying the human body I would find the answer?
So I left U.W.O. and began training as a nurse.
Three years later I graduated as a Registered Nurse and could now provide myself with a livelihood. But the answer to my question still eluded me. Perhaps a deeper inquiry would help me, so I continued with my studies, obtaining a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing Education, and later was delighted to receive a research grant from the Canadian Government. I became the first Psychiatric Nurse Research Consultant in Canada and delved into what causes behavior problems in children.
Twelve months later I was on my way to England to try another approach to my question. After completing a one-year post-graduate degree at the National Hospital, Queens Square, London, in Neurology and Neurosurgery, I had examined all the intricacies of the human nervous system. Yet even neurology had not explained what really makes people tick and why!
Back in America, I became involved with teaching a five-year program in Management Training to the administrative staff of a hospital. Perhaps if I kept rising to the pinnacle of the corporate ladder, to the power peak, I would find the solution.
In this corporate world, however, I was only exposed to what some CEOs really do. Their corrupt world of drugs, sex, and gambling was shocking! Disgusted, I went back to teaching nurses.
John F. Kennedy University, in Orinda, California, offered a Master of Arts Degree in Holistic Health Education, with Movement Psychology as a minor. I decided to “go for it” and learn about alternative medicine and parapsychology.
With an MA under my wing, I felt free to fly in a new direction.
I had learned that “It” was not in the body and not of a human dimension; that there really was something greater than the physical plane of man’s existence in time and space. Once I had opened my mind to that possibility, the answer was quickly given. It was given by the words of Jesus Christ in a channeled book called A Course in Miracles:
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
" A Course in Miracles is an amazing, truly unique book that has healed the lives of millions. It combines spiritual wisdom and psychological insight as it trains the student's mind, over a one-year period, to remember mankind's deepest need for salvation. By " removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence", the Course speaks to our hearts and transforms our minds, leading us back to our one path home to God."
Thank You, Father.
I wrote the experience of my transformation by including in this story the main characters that I met during my life’s search for the truth. These spiritual warriors reminded me that I am the light of the world. Each time fear arose in my awareness, I was invited by Holy Spirit to choose again – to wake up. In my narrative I attempt to show you that by choosing forgiveness and love instead of grievance and fear, one can remove all barriers to seeing the face of God.
