Opening
Your Eyes To The Possibilities
You Might Be Suprised By What You See
By Bob Olson
Life
is anything but boring.
If we open our eyes to the possibilities, we might be amazed by
what we see. The gurus call this awareness. I think it's a
matter of being open-minded.
Two
years ago, I entered a world I did not believe existed. I wanted
to believe, but I guess I'm basically the scientific type,
needing proof before I proceed. As a nonbeliever, I was not in
pursuit of enlightenment in the spiritual fashion. It was more
my style to explore in a playful manner, without expectations
but plenty of hopeful curiosity and a kind of "There's got
to be more to life than I'm seeing " attitude. In spite of
that, my cynical "I'm no fool" side always won the
argument, and the signs that lay before me went unnoticed.
When
I accidentally opened the door that divides earthly and
spiritual existence, a mere ethereal separation, I set foot in a
world beyond my imagination. If my own mother had first made
this discovery, my skepticism would have prevented me from
accepting her tale. Yet, here I am writing about it, as if
expecting someone will read my words with credence.
The
truth is that I have no attachment to your opinion of my claims.
To get them out of my head and onto paper is a purgative
exercise in itself—more of a diary than a public report.
Nevertheless, I am without doubt that others will seek and find
this information. Whether as a compass toward their own door to
enlightenment or as an affirmation to their own similar
experiences, I know people will find comfort in connecting with
my story.
It
has now been three years since my journey began, and I marvel at
how my life has changed since January 1999. I feel like I have
been on a ride at Disney World. The difference is that this ride
is not based in fantasy. While it may sound like fantasy to some
people, this is a true story. Yet, admittedly, I occasionally
pinch myself to see if I wake up.
On
Friday the 15th of January, 1999,
my newly published book was released. I'll admit it was
exciting. However, a couple days after its release I had a talk
with my father. That was a great deal more exciting because my
father had been dead for almost two years. And this is where my
story begins.
