Mystical/Spiritual Road From Clueless to Enlightenment
Perusing all the traditional life goals of modern Western culture─education, family, church, career, and fun─nothing could prepare this author for what was to come. For the past ten years or so, I have experienced mystical and spiritual phenomena. With no understanding of what was happening, the quest for Truth became my only mission. As I was driving home from a David Hawkins study group, I was having trouble determining what was real and what were “transparencies,” as I called them. If you have ever seen auras, I would describe these transparencies as something similar. However, these auras surrounded various objects, although some were not associated with any objects or form at all. I wasn’t aware of it at the time because everything was real to me, or at least appeared to be real. I was pretty confident that I was on the right road and headed in the right direction but my sense of space and location seemed to be in another dimension. I had been seeing these transparencies for about a year, mostly in the morning while driving to work. They would usually fade away when I looked directly at them. On this night, they were not fading away. I made a left turn onto what I thought was the road to go home. I drove straight ahead and saw a pair of headlights in the immediate distance pointing directly in my eyes. I realized I had turned down the left side of a divided highway and was driving head on into oncoming traffic! I immediately pulled a U-turn and was able to right myself onto the correct side of the road, but I had no idea where home was. I knew I was in the area, but the ability to rely on my sense of location, logic, and linear thought was impossible. Time, space, and location, which are linear, were not accessible to my nonlinear state of thought. I had never heard of kundalini, chakras, etheric brain, no mind, or duality, and I had little understanding of Eastern religion/philosophy, such as Hinduism, Sufism, or Buddhism. I had never heard of the Vedas, The Upanishads, Dr. David Hawkins, A Course in Miracles (ACIM), or Huang Po, and reading The Bhagavad Gita was not my intention. My subjective experience has forced this regular guy to search for the Truth of creation.

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
