Preface

H ere on Earth, we live in a fascinating world of energies that not only surround us but are also within us everyday of our lives. When we view the fifth sense world of the earth plane, we can not directly see these forces with our physical eyes. However, we are able to indirectly observe them, witnessing the end result through a variety of means. These indirectly viewed energies take on many different forms, but they are always a life force that is here, being ever-present and in everything. Heat, electricity, sound, and wind are just a few of the many end results of these various types of energies.

From my experiences as a lifelong psychic and intuitive, I have repeatedly been shown the differences between the fifth sense world of energies here on Earth, and energies that exist beyond the physical earth plane. I have come to understand that first and foremost, each of us has a spiritual side that coexists with our physical body. It is our spiritual side that allows us to connect to different dimensions and energies that exist beyond our physical world.

Through countless extra sensory events, I have witnessed some of the spectacular beauty that exists in the high realms beyond Earth. I have also experienced the spiritual side right here on Earth, as well as various spiritual levels of the astral plane. This sixth sense world has been reached through a combination of paranormal means, such as clear seeing, clear knowing, and clear sensing, all tools which are used to gain access and perception to our spiritual side.

One very important fact that has been constantly realized during these many personal psychic experiences is that each of us is multidimensional, and our spiritual side is capable of venturing out, reaching, and experiencing these other dimensions. We are so much more than simply humans living on Earth inhabiting a physical self, and our spiritual abilities to expand our extra sensory perceptions are quite limitless.

As you read about some of the many paranormal events I have had during my life, it is my hope that these occurrences will stir an inner aspiration within you to further expand your own personal awareness. You will discover the relationship I have between my physical and spiritual sides, and the connection that exists between the two. These paranormal events are written from my own perspective as a psychic and intuitive, and it is your decision to incorporate whatever you desire from these experiences into your own belief system and personal soul growth.

When reading about these different experiences, you will notice my constant intent and desire to maintain a strong spiritual connection with the high energy realms of light. It is the high realms of The Other Side that give us truth and purity, and for that reason, I have always felt the need to keep that link with those energies as strong as possible. The energies in those high places are perfect in every way, and they are filled with extremely high vibrations of unconditional love and caring. Tapping into some of these energies not only provides us with great positivity, but it also helps give us increased strength and abilities in coping with our challenges here on Earth.

It is an incredible universe beyond the physical earth plane. The spiritual side is captivating, and once we further strengthen our connection with that side of life, we will never want to be without that fortified bond. The high realms of light are filled with breathtaking colors and wonderful inspirational energies, all in an eternal atmosphere of endless joy and happiness. The people residing there live in a constant state of perfect harmony and bliss. It is my sincere wish that these personal psychic experiences will rouse your curiosity and interest, enabling you to further strengthen your own connection to the extraordinarily uplifting energies that exist on The Other Side.

PART I

Psychic Beginnings

F ascinating and sometimes astounding psychic experiences have been a central part of my life since a very young age. The first experience I can remember occurred around the age of six months. It was a warm late winter afternoon, and I was a tiny newborn infant having come into the world the previous summer. My birth the previous year was a joyous event for Mom and Dad, and they were now the proud parents of yet another son, the third one in the family. Just like other parents, they were thrilled by the new addition. Life was being good to them with a new child in the family, and they proudly displayed their pride and joy for all to see.

At that very young age, I consciously remember almost nothing about the first several years of life. However, there was one incident that has always stayed with me. That remembrance has never left and will always be stamped in my memory.

It was naptime that winter afternoon in Northern California, with every afternoon involving the same routine of putting me down to rest for a good nap. During one particular rest period, something very intriguing and stimulating happened. Even though there are no memories of the other afternoon naps, this one particular naptime has stayed in my consciousness as if it occurred yesterday. In fact, there are very few conscious memories of the first three years of life, but this one particular afternoon proved to be different.

As I quietly rested on the bed with stillness and silence in the room, suddenly my conscious awareness seemed to come alive. All of a sudden I could formulate thoughts in my mind and these thoughts were coming in the form of sentences. Where were they coming from and why was my awareness suddenly being stirred to life? I was a tiny infant that had six months earlier come into the world, so how could this be happening? Even more puzzling, these thoughts were in English, a language that I had not yet begun to learn. Why were the thoughts coming through in a language I did not know, and why was my conscious memory suddenly being awakened in this way? Lying on my back, I continued to study the surroundings, looking up at the walls and ceiling. Being so young at the time and unable to move my little body very much, I just kept staring at the features of the room from my location of the bed I was in.

This consciousness felt wonderful, suddenly being able to have thoughts rushing through my head. But why was this happening now, and why had it never happened before? Scanning the surroundings, I kept thinking to myself Why are the colors in the room so dull, and where are the beautiful colors of Heaven? These questions were strangely puzzling as my little infant eyes continued to study the room.

The curtains had been pulled to make it darker and easier to sleep, but the odd dullness in the room seemed to go beyond that. Although the room was darkened, the lack of depth to the colors seemed very strange and unusual to look at. It’s just so dull and dreary looking, were the constant thoughts rushing through my head. It was as if I had been used to incredibly vibrant colors and all of a sudden they were gone, having been replaced with bland tones that lacked intensity and had little depth. It was simply a room that lacked the vibrancy of Heaven. For those few minutes, I constantly looked around with great interest, all the while continuing to have thoughts in English.

After several minutes, a form suddenly appeared to the right side of me. It was a man, except this man was in spirit form. At the time, I didn’t realize he was in a spiritual body, and as a tiny infant, I simply knew a person had appeared next to the crib. It was many years later thinking back on that day that it became obvious he was not in physical form.

Looking back on this event, I realized he had the normal features of an adult male, except with this particular male; there was one very important difference. There was light around him, a beautiful glowing light that seemed to radiate various shades of soft multicolor. After reaching older adolescent age thinking about this incident, I realized that is what made him so different from someone in a physical body. He radiated what I call The Light. The warm and gentle light that emanated from him made him look almost transparent, when he suddenly appeared next to the bed, with all the colors of the rainbow softly being displayed around his body.

I was a tiny infant having a normal daytime rest period, when suddenly my consciousness was stirred with English sentences forming in my mind, and within a few minutes a man in spirit form quickly appeared to the right side of me. This man was in a definite rush, going past the bed in a fast and deliberate manner. As he went by, he telepathically spoke in English saying, There is a fire. I am going to get help. His message was given to me by thought transference, and that is all he said. It was a bit hard to see him, since I was so tiny and unable to move my neck around to view him. After he had said those words with a certain amount of urgency, I watched him go past the bed, rapidly disappearing into the next room.

Many years later it was confirmed with Mom and Dad that there was a small fire that had started right outside the house that afternoon. A babysitter was in the kitchen working during afternoon naptime, having the job of tending to me while they were out of the house. After the fire had started, she did discover it, quickly notifying the fire department to come and put it out. There was even a clipping in the local newspaper about the fire that had ignited that afternoon at my home.

After the man in spirit walked past my bedside, I suddenly lost conscious memory again. There is no recollection of the babysitter, the men from the fire department arriving, or my parent’s upset over the incident. None of that can be remembered. There was a memory blank in my young life after that incident, similar to the void in memory a little while before the male in spirit had appeared. From that point forward, my conscious memory was once again gone until around the age of three or four. By that time, recall and consciousness started to rapidly develop.

That wonderful awareness and perception within me did come to life for a brief time on that late winter afternoon, but why did it happen at that time? Looking back upon the situation, it does seem the male in spirit form was acting as a protector and guardian, watching over the home and those inside. I strongly feel he went into the kitchen for the purpose of alerting the babysitter, influencing her thoughts and actions so that she would discover the fire that had started that afternoon.

I am an intuitive, having constantly experienced many forms of psychic phenomenon since this very young age. These events have always played a large and important role in my life. I want to share with you numerous spiritual experiences that I have had, and together we can look at these experiences, gaining more understanding and depth into the connection between the physical world and the world of the spiritual side.

Never judging any of these experiences, I just let them happen without logical reasoning, letting the time for rational analysis come after the event. Logical reasoning interferes with the psychic process, so when one of these sixth sense experiences occurs, it is important to just let it flow and happen naturally. It wasn’t until numerous years after the event of the house fire and the male in spirit appearing, that I was able to rationalize what had happened. When it was occurring, I simply watched him, not realizing a psychic experience was taking place.

Why would a tiny infant wonder why the colors in that bedroom were so dull and lifeless? It is my belief that at such a young age we are still very familiar with the glorious colors of The Other Side. We are used to the energies and vibrancy of that dimension because we have just come from there. Each of us makes this journey between Heaven and Earth many times, with each trip back to Earth becoming yet another incarnation and lifetime. The fact that I was so young when questioning the dullness of the room, suggests the familiarity of Heaven was still with me and was fresh on my mind. The magnificent beauty and glory of The Other Side was in my memory, where all colors are infinitely more vibrant and beautiful than any here on Earth. I do feel that is why I questioned and felt very puzzled with the dull drabness of the colors in the room that day.

Why was a little newborn able to formulate thoughts into sentences and hear the male speak telepathically? It does seem impossible in a logical sense that an infant could do that. But once again, I think it has to do with the awareness of The Other Side. I had just come from a place that is very social and filled with people, a place where we telepathically communicate with each other and are always in spiritual form.

When the male in spirit rushed past me that afternoon, it became a very natural thing to see. I was simply witnessing something that was very familiar. The male in paranormal spirit form stirred my awareness, even though my perception had not yet been stimulated by the fifth sense earth dimension. I was way too young to have fully readapted to life in the physical realm. For that reason, my consciousness came to life when someone from the spiritual dimension came to help and warn in a time of danger.

We can be so thankful that there are those in spirit that watch over us and help guide us on our earthly path. This guardian spirit that came proved to do just that, coming to the aid of the babysitter and me. He was right there to help, giving assistance in a time of peril and risk.

Throughout my life, I have witnessed this type of help from the spiritual side of life, having seen this type of assistance happen over and over. They are here to help all of us whenever possible, and it is our privilege to try and develop a stronger connection with them. By the age of four, my earthly conscious memory was becoming fully developed, and I started to remember daily activities of life here on Earth. Up until that time, about the only conscious memory was of that one winter day when the small house fire ignited.

Another fascinating experience happened around the age of seven. It was the Christmas Season, a time of year that is so very special for children. There was a lot of joy and happiness in the air, and I was feeling the Christmas spirit like only a child can feel. Having a Christmas record and feeling very filled with the Christmas spirit, I decided to play it in the bedroom and listen to the music. Putting the record on the player, I hopped into bed feeling very excited about listening to the wonderful carols.

The music began to play and it sounded great. Although it sounded wonderful, I wanted to experience something more and to feel the music on a deeper level. Christmas is such a festive season, and I wanted to experience something very extraordinary. Much to my surprise, that is exactly what happened. While lying on the bed looking up at the ceiling listening to the carols, suddenly the room
