Time to Change

Sometimes life has a way of making us listen. If we ignore our intuitions for too long a period of time, the universe will provide an avenue for us so we have to listen. I had always been someone who never sat down, I was always busy doing something.


Early in the year of 1984, I began to feel as though I needed to relax and read more books. Not being one to pay attention to my instincts, I continued ignoring that inner urging. Finally it caught up with me , I was driving for UPS at the time and while delivering a package to the back door of a private residence, I inadvertently stepped off the edge of a concrete patio slap. Trying to right myself I came around with my left foot to regain my footing, the bottom of my left foot slammed into the corner of the slab and tremendous pain immediately shot up my left leg. The longer the day went, the more my foot hurt, by the time I arrived home in the evening, I literally crawled in the front door of my house.

As he x-rayed  the foot the next day, the doctor determined it was only sprained and I should be able to return to work soon. However, upon further examination of the x-rays, the doctor determined the foot was broken and I would be off work for about 6 weeks. At least it was summer time, I had no cast on my foot , so I could get a lot of pool time in.

A few days later , I was getting a little bored and the kids were going to ride their bikes to the library, needing to get out of the house, I volunteered to take them. I was going to sit in the van and listen to the radio while they went inside, however  the weather was extremely hot, I decided to go inside and see what kind of trouble I could get in. I hadn’t been in  a library in quite a while,  sightseeing down the different aisles of books, suddenly I looked up and a book was headed in my direction. It had fallen off the shelf directly into my hands! WOW, what is this all about?

Looking at the title of the book, it didn’t mean much to me, the book was written by Ruth Montgomery and it was titled , “The World Before.” As I opened the book to a random page, my interest was peaked,some of  the phraseology lead me to believe it could have been written by a Mason. looking again at the author , I knew that was not the case. Well, I was going to read it, I was hooked, applying for a library card , I checked out the book and we headed home.

As I began reading the book, I was intrigued, it dealt with spirit guides, reincarnation, UFO’s and many other esoteric subjects that I had never seen anything written about before. As I finished that book , it was back to the library to find other writings by this same author. It opened a whole new world to me, soon  I was reading everything I could get my hands on, I even began finding people who shared the same interests as I did, and spent much time discussing many different philosophies and what they could mean.

My world had changed , as a result my perspectives changed and with it , some of my friendships disintegrated and others were formed, but that is the way life is. Life would never be the same, only better.
