Читать книгу Blueprint for Holistic Healing - C. Norman Shealy - Страница 7

Although I grew up “knowing” that I was more than my body and mind and never doubted that there was another “me” that somehow existed in an ineffable time/space, the real understanding of myself as an entity separate from my body took place in 1972 during my first visit to the A.R.E. when I had my first out-of-body experience. To the entire Edgar Cayce work and Association and to Joel Andrews, the trance medium harpist, I owe the sense of being beyond body and mind. Indeed, although my intuition has always been active, I believe that that one event opened me to many developing psychic events. Thank you! And thanks especially to Kevin Todeschi for suggesting I write this book!

Of course my parents were responsible for outstanding nurturing and encouragement to explore the world.

My wife, Mary-Charlotte Bayles Shealy, provided fifty-two blessed years of total support for thinking outside the box of conventional society, as well as the foundation for grounding our children in the same expansion of consciousness that is so essential to real life.

Henry Rucker, Robert Leichtman, MD, and Caroline Myss have been the most outstanding intuitives I have known. They have further nurtured my ongoing curiosity about the physical and spiritual worlds.

I have also been remarkably blessed by numerous outstanding teachers, friends, and associates. Having “known” many of my past lives, several of which I am not proud, it is again the A.R.E. where I had my first past-life experience. These continue to amaze me, especially reconnection with the reincarnated St. Francis and my three brothers/companions from our lives with Francis. These have provided the most remarkable living love of my ongoing life. Thank you Peter, Mark, Patrick, and Sergey!

I am grateful to Georgie Ginder for contributing the wonderful poem you have just read.

To all who read this book, I wish for you the bliss of knowing yourself in the broadest possible way—physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually!

Love and hugs,

Norm
