My First Spirital Experience

At about age five I had what I would now call my first spiritual experience. rnMy family would call it my first weird experience. At the time I was un- rnaware of the experience because when you are a child, you are still connected rnto God. You don’t even realize that you are in the world unless, of course, rnyou are one of those unfortunate souls who decide to pay off all of your karma rnwith parents that won’t love you. I know none of you had those types of par- rnents. Your parents loved you, supported you, and never did anything mean rnor abusive at all, didn’t they? Of course they did. I am joking, of course. Your rnparents did the best they could, as you will come to understand. As long as rnyou hold onto being a victim, believing that your parents were monsters, you rnare ill. If you let go of all that judgment, the illness goes with it. rnSo, I was at home playing when some people brought a baby in the rnhouse. The baby was only a few weeks old and had whooping cough. I asked rnthe grown-ups, “Can I hold the baby?” They told me that I was only a baby rnmyself and it wouldn’t be safe. I kicked up such a racket that they finally put rnme on the sofa and stacked cushions around me so that I could hold the baby rnsafely. I held the baby for only a short while and then gave it back to the rnmother. When I gave it back, I had the whooping cough and the baby was rnclear and healthy. This was the first registered or recorded healing experience rnof my spiritual career. I didn’t understand what had happened because I as- rnsumed that this happened to everybody. It was nothing. It was like, “That was rngrand! You love somebody and they get better.” All I did was love the baby rnand it got better. What do you mean, “You can’t do that?” Well, I was in for a rnspiritual awakening, and that spiritual awakening was coming.
