Introduction

T HE UNIVERSE in which we live is extremely complex. One has to look at the billions of stars and the range of life constituents, from the tiniest particle to the largest of constellations. Despite the tremendous advances made regarding the understanding of the human body and the universe, there is a need to develop an understanding of whether a power that is higher in order than the human power does exist. In many circles, this higher power is believed to exist. Some call it God, and some believe that Jesus is God and the power is referred to as the spiritual power. Tremendous amounts of information have been amassed over thousands of years, and many books have been written on the subject. Many organizations have described this spiritual world in many forms as well. On the other hand, many people believe that humans were the result of a theory—such as Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, which does not involve a creator. At the rate that science and technology continue to advance, more information and more technologies are needed in the coming years in order to answer the question of whether such a power does exist or not; and if it does exist, to try to discover its identity, organization, regeneration rules, and interaction with the human world.

My Life and the Spiritual Connection is a book about my life and about the role of a spiritualist who guided me over a period of twenty years during a crucial part of my life. The spiritualist helped me immigrate to the United States in 1963 and achieve the highest level of education, and he helped me lead a successful career and a comfortable life. The spiritualist used hypnosis on people to connect with what he had called the spiritual world and to obtain information that would help him in dealing with the various situations. In doing so, I believe that the spiritualist navigated me through many serious obstacles to make me what I am today.

Sharing my life experiences is an attempt to add to the existing knowledge, as is often the case in research, where an idea leads to a theory that can be further developed and elaborated on. This book offers an additional direction for research in the spiritual realm that, I am sure, many people and scientists have been looking into. As I mentioned above, the literature contains many stories of writers that have had similar life experiences to mine and may have experienced similar events that may relate to what I am writing about. Writing this book may offend some people or religious groups, but my role as a researcher is always to try to improve life conditions and seek the truth.

The intent of this book is not to review what has been written, but to add to the existing knowledge. I personally believe that there is a higher
