A Gift From the Other Side
One
of the most influential events to take place during my quest for truth,
my truth , occurred during the summer of 1982. I was sitting in my
living room reading when I noticed a white plastic shopping bag lying
on the fireplace mantle . I could have sworn the bag hadn’t been there a
minute ago.
Curiosity got the best of me so I got up to see what it was all about. Opening the bag I found it contained a small book and a receipt from a Cincinnati book store. Investigating further it seemed to be some sort of spiritual book. Now my curiosity was really raised , I had developed a strong interest in that field and was at the time reading something I thought to be similar.
Siting down to read it , I began to realize it had a different slant on the world and upon further investigation I realized the writer had a negative view point on every subject, Christianity, Mormonism, new age, Masonry or whatever , it didn’t seem to make a difference.
Having been a student of several of these topics, I was quite well informed and as I read further most of what he said was not only untrue, but in many times a downright lie. Reading the book gave me a sense of foreboding and I soon realized this book came from a source that was far from good.
Knowing I hadn’t purchased this book, I asked my wife why she had bought it. Her reply was that she never bought it and had never seen it before. Since no one else lived in our house except our children who were too young to purchase anything, cold chills ran up and down my spine.
Although I had on occasion been privy to using an Ouija board and other esoteric tools, and had in fact seen much that was beyond explanation, this was creepy, It was totally against everything that is taught and accepted in our world, or any other world I want to be associated with.
I began to realize this book had been placed there by unknown forces to test my faith and to see if I really believed the things I had been studying. There was no question, what I had been reading was in fact truth, this book was nothing but false information and had no place in my home or environment. The sooner it disappeared from my reality the better.
Wanting to dispose of it as quickly as possible, I went into the backyard and lit a match to it.
Interesting, follow me on Kindle.
