Our children didn’t leave us early, they simply took a shortcut to grandma’s house for dinner. Upon arrival, they weren’t asked to say grace before dinner, they lovingly shared in God’s grace as they wait for us to return home.
At the onset of writing this book, I was a vengeful, angry, hostile writer, looking to take my wrath out on traditional religion. By the end of writing this book, I realized I am a loving, caring, all-encompassing writer trying to help people who are just like me (Ha Ha). Hey, it is okay to have fun. Spirit loves to have fun. This I know…
PREFACE
I have always been drawn to the stars. Even as a small child, anytime I went outside at night, it felt like the sky and stars were like a magnetic force pulling on me. From those early days to the present time, I have sensed that there is intelligent alien life in the universe.
So, in 2003, I decided to read the Bible in its entirety. Having always had this sense of alien life, I decided to take notes about anything I read that could possibly be tied to intelligent alien life. I actually wrote the notes in the Bible itself.
Then, in 2014, I had an afterlife experience in which I stood in God’s White Light. So now, in addition to years of reading and studying the Bible, I had the real life experience of knowing what God was.
The notes I took over 15 years ago went untouched until 2017. That is when I decided to write this second book, which is a continuation of my first book, FIFTY YEARS OF SILENCE NO MORE. My initial idea was to write about what the Bible said about mediumship, but that was about to change. Upon opening my Bible, I studied some of the verses I took notes on all those years ago. That was the defining moment for me. I realized that a lot of the notes I took about possible alien life being described in verses in the Bible, also described a vengeful, angry, jealous, hostile God. Right then it hit me! I knew God wasn’t like this. I knew, because I had stood with God.
These notes, that had been lying dormant for over 15 years, told me that the angry God being described in the Old Testament was inaccurate. I believe I took those notes for a reason all those years ago. I believe it was part of my journey that had already been set into motion. I somehow knew on a soul level that I was supposed to take those notes so that I could explain why and how I know what God is. God is Love.
So this entire book is based upon these real life experiences put into motion years ago.
Having stood in God’s White Light in an afterlife experience, I dedicate this book to anyone who is looking to find their peace. May these words help fill your heart with comfort and joy.
So there is a group of young people in heaven talking with God. God asks them what is troubling them. One of them says that their parents were told by a few members of their church that they didn’t go to heaven because they took their own life. God says, ‘I don’t belong to their church. I AM THE CHURCH.’ Another one tells God that his parents were told by a person of a particular belief system that they didn’t go to heaven because they overdosed on drugs. God says, ‘I don’t belong to their belief system. I AM THE SYSTEM.’ A third young person tells God that his parents were told that God would be angry with him and take his vengeance out on him for living a less than perfect lifestyle. God replies, ‘I am not angry and vengeful. I AM LOVE.’ Then another one tells God that his parents were told that he would be cast down for living a life of homosexuality. God replies, ‘I do not cast people down for loving one another. I LIFT THEM UP.’ Next, collectively, the young people ask God how they could let their families know that they are all right and in HIS SOUL WARMING LOVE AND LIGHT. God tells them not to worry about that because every once in a while He reaches down and touches someone with his Love and Light. He then makes sure that person shares his messages with people like their parents.
Today I am happy to share with you the greatest gift of all. The gift of knowing. I do this…….BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN THERE!

INTRODUCTION
I would like to begin by stating that I was raised as a Christian throughout my life. I attended a Christian church and was baptized as a Christian. So my background is that of traditional religion. Even though I had this traditional religious background, I had to follow my heart and find answers on my own. I wanted these answers to be something that I found in my heart, not something that I had been taught. I had the choice to believe what I had been taught my entire life, or to follow my heart. I chose to follow my heart.
My goal while writing this book was to explain what the Bible really does say about God, Jesus, intelligent alien life, and mediumship. I will also touch on the Church and disclosure. Disclosure meaning the government announcing that there is intelligent
