Subject: Adequate proof of God, for Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
About 1985 I was hitch-hiking in West Virginia, when a
man pulled up, rolled down the window, and yelled:
"I'm gonna rape you, kill you and throw your body in a
ditch! "
Well, that didn't sound like fun to me, so I ran
into the woods, threw myself on my face, straight out,
with my hands clasped together over my head
( and my ankles crossed ) and chanted "God help me!
God Help me! ....." as hard as I could. After about 3
minutes of this chanting, a vast wave of calm washed
through me, and a loud, firm ( male ) voice spoke
within my heart, saying "GET UP!" So I stood up and
asked ( aloud ) "What next ?" "TAKE A FEW STEPS!" it
replied. "What next ?" "LOOK DOWN!"
When I looked down, a wallet was lying at my
feet, so I picked it up and looked inside. It had $300
in it which, considering the circumstances, looked
like "bus fare" to me!
So I put the wallet in a mailbox, got on a bus
and came to Georgia, where I've been ever since. After
earning the $300 back, I wrote a letter to the owner
describing the entire miracle, and sent her a money
order along with it. It was Mary Lou Retton's.
I could tell you many more, but this isn't the
place. Write to me privately, if interested.I'm
collecting them all in a book, though, and have even
had a "nibble" from Hollywood.
Peace,
G
P.S. Suffice it to say that working alone on pianos
all night lets you hear a lot of "inner voices", and
when you learn to identify them, some wonderful things
may occur.
P.P.S. Besides the "New Testament", I strongly
recommend Paramahansa Yogananda's spiritual classic
"Autobiography of a Yogi". Yogananda was an authentic
Indian saint, who was entertained at the White House
by Calvin Coolidge, had Amelita Galli-Curci, Sir Harry
Lauder, Luther Burbank and many other notables as
disciples ( Even Elvis was somehow involved with him.
) When he passed, in America, in 1953, his body did
not rigormotise, nor decompose, as certified by an
American coroner. The amazing book is at all major
bookstores.
