Sometimes what we see can be happening, or about to

happen, in other realities besides this one. There are

other realities that look very much like this one does

physically. Some People call them alternate realities.

Jim Carrey made a movie (The Truman Show) where

everything about his life was staged inside a bubble.

Do you remember that movie? When he tried to get in a

boat and sail away, the boat stopped at the edge of

the bubble and he realized it was not real. Some

realities are that close to our own.

Glimpse into Other Realities

I was standing in my living room cleaning the rugs

when I looked up. It was nice outside so I had the

door open to allow some fresh air into the house. I

looked out the door and down the front walk and there

were horses and buggy carriages going by on the road

outside. There were houses across the street that

weren't there before, tall brownstone houses and a man

walked by in a top hat. There was a picket fence in

front of my house that was not there before. I looked

back into my living room and then back out the door

and it was still there. I just stood watching for a

long time, maybe 15 minutes while carriages and people

walked by my house. I saw a milk truck and some kids

in knickers ran by playing with a hoop. I would look

at myself dressed in my jeans and see my living room

just fine and then look out the door and this other

time was still here. It did not leave until I left the

living room and came back.

A Sheet Away from Alternative Realities

We are just a sheet of paper away from other

realities. Sometimes we are more connected to

alternative realities than to this one. Some people

prefer to live in alternative realities and they are

kept in insane asylums. It is not that they are insane

- it is that they are more connected to other places

and other times. If someone would do the study and

research, we might be able to help these "insane"

people. I have come very close to choosing an

alternative reality myself. I was really tempted to

stay in one reality, which was so much more loving

than this one. I struggled with myself in order remain

here, telling myself that I am here for a purpose.

Even now I get sad thinking about it. Perhaps this is

one place depression comes from.

I hear from people every day who are slipping in and

out of this reality. They don't completely slip out

but they feel the disconnect and cannot control it. It

is hard to tell people to remain grounded here when

some part of them knows that it is better over there.

How do I say that? I barely am here myself!

But we can't be slipping back and forth without

control either. One man was losing his job over it. A

lady was losing her kids over it. We all want the

better world. Somewhere inside we have seen it or felt

it and we all know about it. Although it might not be

on a conscious level, many are having a hard time

finding a real reason to stay here. The ones who can

fair well in this reality are the warriors, the

healers, and the ones who like to fight and make a

difference, the champions of a cause.

I, myself, faced this choice; that is, either to be a

healer or end up in an asylum. Do you remember the

sainted nuns who would cloister themselves in church

steeples for their whole lives? They would never see

anyone and the priest would bring them one meal a day

and their lives were spent in prayer for that church,

the town, and the country. Believe me, they were

seldom in this reality.

I see that world is being populated more and more by

people who have chosen to be healers, warriors,

hunters, or Shamans to do battle for the saving of

this world, this reality. We were definitely put here

for a purpose - no matter how stinky this reality

might be. We chose to be here and to make a

difference. So I keep reminding myself to remain

grounded here in this reality.

But my point to you today is...

There are many realities and you may be picking up on

any one of them. How can you know if it is this place

or another? You can know through experience, practice,

keeping a log and evaluating the results. Learn about

other realities as well, so you can recognize them

better in your visions. I saw a whole star system

collapse when I was 24. I had a series of visions of

this incredible implosion of the cosmos. It was very

scary for me to witness this, as I thought it was this

universe. It did happen but it happened a billion

miles away, in another time.

I am not saying that what you are seeing is not for

here and now. I have no way to say that. I am not here

to judge what you see. You are the best judge of what

you see. I am suggesting that you learn to interpret

as well as see.
