  Growing up on a dairy farm  in rural  southeastern Indiana ,Gary was  raised in a conservative Christian environment and looked forward to a life much like his ancestors had lived.  The two car garage, white picket fence and 2.5 kids was his life’s dream. Due to some twists of fate his life changed suddenly and a different path was taken.   At this time,he began to question everything he was brought up to believe, his political views, his religious and spiritual beliefs and every value society places on us as members of the human race. During his Vision Quest, which lead him to Egypt, Australia, the Canary Islands, Belize and most of the United States, he reevaluated and examined everything he believed in.   Having always had an interest in things of a spiritual and esoteric nature this was without question  a predetermined path. Through and because of his interest in photography he was able to study and document many ancient cultures throughout the world, in particular the Australian Aborigine, the Maya, and the Ancient Egyptians.   Although his travels have changed his perception of life and many of the spiritual values he once held, one belief remains unchanged.   His belief in the basic conservative core values of life that have been carried down through the ages from time immemorial. Those same core values that led to the founding of our great country and are instilled in our sacred documents, The Bill of Rights, The Declaration of Independence, and the United States Constitution.   His belief in a Supreme Being or God have not faltered. In spite of this, he has found there is much more to life than conventional wisdom leads us to believe.   Time and time again history has shown that when a people or civilization fall from a belief in their God and basic common sense values, their way of life ceases to be. Let’s not let that happen to us. To contact Gary: www.journeysthrulife.com. Email: [e-mail].

Introduction

I was a member of The National Institute of Exploration based in Champagne Illinois. Their mission was to  escort groups of photographers into exotic areas of the world and published books with photos and articles written about the expeditions. They were planning a trip to Peru and Machu Picchu,  somewhere I've always had an interest in visiting. For various reasons, I was unable to take advantage of that trip, as a result I almost forgot about them.

Later that year, I received a call telling me they were planning an expedition to Australia in June of the following year. They were inquiring as to the feasibility of me going and leading a group.

The plan was to  spend a month in Australia, break into groups of 8-10 people in each group and spend approximately a week in an area, then go to a different area and spend a week there. Upon our return home we would  publish a photography book about our adventures. The photographers and writers would each submit their own work and if chosen they would be published, the profits shared among the participants.

It was something that I had never considered. I almost said yes immediately, but hesitated and said I would get back to them. Little did I know at the time it would be an adventure that would change my perception of life.

I had been actively seeking a lot of answers about life and had done much searching. The previous week I had consulted with a psychic who was quite intuitive. She had read the likes of Shirley Maclaine and Liberace. Many things were discussed however, nothing was said about Australia. Although I felt like Australia was the right place to go at the time, I wanted to see how this fit into the general scheme of things. Looking back I can see now I was determining how good my judgment was concerning things I should do, regardless of how sensible they seemed.

During the reading it was revealed I would be meeting several wives from past lives and I would eventually choose the best one for me. It was also revealed that when I got to Ayres Rock, which neither of us, myself or the physic knew existed, I would find a pit at the top big enough for a human to lie in. It would have three 3 ft. circles on one side of it. I was to lie in this pit and meditate.

It was also disclosed that I  needed to obtain a basket containing earth items, and a tiger eye ring that should only be worn on days or months with a five in them. I was moving from a five vibration to a seven and I needed the ring on the five days for protection. I was also informed that July 7th 1989, would be a special day.

This was on a Wednesday night. Friday evening, I noticed a basket of stones and arrowheads sitting on my bookcase. The basket was a collection of earth things, arrowheads and American Indian stones that had belonged to my grandparents. After my grandmother passed away, my grandpa moved out of his apartment. I found the basket when we cleaned his apartment and placed the basket in the back of my truck, instructing my kids to give it to my brother Paul because he was into history more than I was.

When I got home the basket had been left in the pickup, I put the basket on my bookcase and left it there.
